Stories of
Great Scouts
By Elmo
Scott
Watson
(), Western Newspaper Union.
SIMON KENTON, THE AMERI
CAN MAZEPPA
Second only to the name of Daniel
Boone whose life he once saved is
written In the annals of Kentucky the
name of Simon Kenton. Kenton was
a Virginian who served as a scout In
Lord Ininmore's war shortly before
the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains Into
the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Ken
tucky in search of adventure. His ex
ploits there soon won for him the un
dying Inured of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 177-S Kenton with two compan
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon a herd of
Indian horses. The Kentuekians re
solved to take some of (lie animals
along us trophies of the successful ex
pedition. The Indians quickly discov
ered the theft and overtook the scouts
just before' they crossed the Ohio
river.
One of the Kentuckinns was killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
pri - oner.
"Von steal Injun boss?" (hey taunt
ed him. "All right, we give you ride
on him !"
So they tied the scout on a wild
young horse and set it free in the for
est. He finally was taken from the
horse's hack more dead than alive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run Die gantlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors, armed with clubs and
htilchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zaneslield preparations were
made to burn blm at the stake, but the
arrival of Simon Girty, the "white
renegade','-' who recognized Kenton as
an old friend, saved him.
Ills freedom was short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
saved by a friend Chief Logan, the
noted orator of Ihe.Cnyugns. When
the Snndsky towns were reached, the
Indians held n council and once uore
decree the death penally. Kenton
was lied to the stake. Just as the
loreh was being applied, a British of
ficer appeared and demanded the sur
render of their prisoner to his com
mander at I iclroit.
Kenton was kept captive In Petrol!
until 1771), when through the aid of an
Indian trader's wife he escaped to
Kentucky where he died in 1S.'!0.

FORVETERANS
Red Cross Provides Friendly
Service of Many Kinds to
Army of Disabled.
BULK OF WORK BY CHAPTERS
2,397 of These Are Helping Ex
Service Men Obtain Bene
fits U. S. Provides.
One field of Red Cross service alone.
that of assisting disabled veterans of
the World War, entails expenditures
fl.OOO.OUO greater than the aggregate
receipts of the Annual' Roll Call of
1020, the American Red Cross an
nounces in a statement urginir a whin-
spread Increase in membership at the
Annual Roll Call, November 11 to 21.
At the present time National Head
quarters and the nation-wide chain of
Chapters of the Red Cross is spend
ing approximately $10,000,000 annual
ly for tlie relief of disabled' ex-service
nien and their families, while the ag
gregate receipts from last year's Roll
Call were approximately .$0,000,000.
It Is in the 2,2S!) of the 3,C'J0 Red
Cross Chapters which still are helping
solve the veteran's problem of adjust
ing himself to a normal civilian status
that the greater part of the cost of this
service Is borne. Of the- total sum
spent for veterans' relief hist year,
National Headquarters expended a to
tal of more than $2000,000, while the
remaining disbursement of approxi
mately $7,000,000 represents the con
tribution of Chapters in this country
wide effort to assist the Government
In providing the aid sorely needed by
these men and their families.
An Ever Expanding Problem
That the problem of the disabled
service man Is ever-expanding and
probably will not reach the peak be
fore 1925, Is the assertion of well-informed
Government officials and that
2,397 Red Cross Chapters regard it
as their most Important work Is evi
dence that the expansion is in nowise
confined to a particular section but is,
on the contrary, nation-wide. At the
end of the fiscal year, June 30, 19'J1,
there were 2ii,.'!00 disabled service men
In the 1,092 V'nited States I'ublic
?Ieallh Service, Contract and Govern
ment Hospitals ii ml Soldiers Homes,
and th.it number is increaiiug at n
rate of 1,11011 n month. , i
Thousands of these men receiving !
medical treatment, compensation and
Vocational training from the Govern- 1
ment today, started their efforts to'
obtain them through the Red' Cross !
Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the
disabled man's agent In claims against
the Government, informs the man as to I
the procedure necessary to gain for
1 1 1 in that which is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Chapter.
Marrjr Forms of Assistance
If there Is delay before the man's
claim Is urted upon, the Red Cress
Chapter lends the man money to meet
(he Imperative needs of himself and
his dependents.
Most vital to tlie man's gaining full
benefit from the Government's care Is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping the veteran's fam
ily from hardship of every k'nd and
Informing hlni ef Its welfare is an
oilier province ef (he Chanter, tree
from fear ell this score, 1'ie man's re
cox cry and advancement usually is
rapid.
livery month during the Inst year,
the American Red Cross Jiss given
service of one kind or another to an
average of 129, 21o former service men
rnd their families. An Indication of
the cv'ent of the faith reposed in the
Red Cross Chapter is to be found In
the fact that there were .".o(,.,Vt I re
quests for friendly aid In the solution
of personal problems.
448 Worktrt in Hospital
While the man prior to entering
Government care deaU largely with tlie
Chapter, afterward he comen Into con
tact with the service provided by Na
tional Headquarters. There are -MS

Is in Danger.
A post-war gas attack which threat
ened the entire town of Round Brook,

and hundreds of
lives saved by the
quick and fearless
action of Michael
Pascal, former
yeoman of an
American torpedo

member o f the
local American
Legion post.
When a huge
tank containing
I, GUO pounds of phosgene, one of the
deadliest gases used In the war,
sprung a leak, a workmen was killed
ami scores were overcome before Pas
cal and a companion, formerly with
the chemical warfare service, arrived.
They snielled the gas from a distance,
and recognizing its odor, set out for
the origin.
Arriving, Pascal found doctors car
ing fur the severely gassed, workmen
running about in gas masks but no
one trying to stop the leak. After
several attempts in the giis-iilled plant,
Pascal and his companion stopped the
flow. Both have been honored by the
town council and recommended for
Carnegie medals.

Are the Stories of Strange South
American Native Cures True?
By PR. HENRY H. Rt'SBY, Columbia Cnlreralty.
Will we scientists sailing for Chili bring back with qs, when we I
come out of the Colombian wilderness after two years of exploration, j
some precious ti'eoliciiml plant, growing obscurely now on the mountain;
peaks of Bolivia or aiming the jungles of western Brazil? eome other1
plant as priceless, therapeutically, as the cinchona shrub of the Andes,,
whose bark :ies us quinine; or the root of the ipecacuanha, brought long:
ago from Brazil ?
These questions can be answered only by conjectures. Are the sto-'
ries of st rn litre native cures true? That's just what we are going to try'
to find out. For myself, I believe that unquestionably'the South American '
Indians understand the medicinal uses of rare planta which are unknown
to our materia medica.
Superstition, witchcraft, legend are so entangled with their actual,
and beneficial powers that a white man cannot hop to get at the truth'
of the thousand tales he hear except by long study. If among all the -
miracle we can find a few real remedies, that will t m nuieir u I wptct. '
