International News Radiophoto. King George VI Returning Home in Triumph By Elmo c ,, W * Scott Watson e Western Newspaper Union Apache Agent W HEN, in 1873, old-timers in Arizona learned that a twenty- two-year-old Easterner, fresh from Rutgers college, had been appointed agent for the San Carlos reserva tion, a gale of laughter swept that section of the Wild West. “Why, them Apache devils will skeer that tenderfoot out inside a week,” they guffawed. But they didn't know the stuff that was in John Philip Cium. Taking charge at San Carlos, he decided that the “terrible Apaches“ weren’t so terrible if they were treated like human beings instead of animals, as the Spaniard, the Mexican and the American fron tiersmen had regarded them. So he made them self-governing by founding the first body of Indian police ever organized to keep or der on the reservation and by estab lishing courts, presided over by In dian judges, to try offenders. He made them partially self-supporting by teaching them the arts of peace instead of war and paid them for the work they did. And above all else he proved to them that he was one white man who didn’t “speak with a split tongue.” As a result Cium, within three years, was ruling 5,000 of these In dians, who had been regarded for 300 years as “untamable,” without the aid of a single soldier. A physi cian and a commissary clerk were the only other white men on the res ervation. Next he was given a bigger job— that of capturing a party of hostile Apaches, led by the notorious Ge ronimo. With a selected party of his loyal Apaches, he marched 400 miles across the deserts and moun tains of the Southwest, trapped Ge ronimo and his followers in New Mexico, captured them without fir ing a shot and marched them back the whole 400 miles without a sin gle one escaping. This was the only time Geronimo was ever forcibly captured. Several times later he voluntarily surrendered but John P. Cium was the only man who ever took him prisoner when he didn’t want to be a captive. Clum’s career of usefulness as agent for the Apaches ended in 1877 when politics brought about a crisis which forced him to resign. He later won fame as an editor and public official in the town of Tombstone but until his death in 1932 he was proudest of the record he made when he was “Apache Agent.” African Victor LIS NAME is forgotten now but - - he was once a national hero. acri For he was the leader in one of the most spectacular exploits in American muitary history William Eaton was his name and he was a native of Connecticut who had come out of the Revolution as a sergeant at the age of seventeen and later won the commission of captain in the American army. In 1798 he was appointed consular gent at Tunis and, by his skill and daring in handling the ruler of that country, he secured for Am erican commerce complete immun ity from the Tunisian pirates. But the pirates of Tripoli were still prey ing upon our shipping and in 1803 Eaton, returning to America, se cured from President Jefferson per *a mission to try a plan which would put an end to the war.

Ahmet’s promise to aid him and early in 1805 he started out from Alexandria, Egypt, with his army of 400 men consisting of nine Ameri cans, 40 Greeks, 28 artillerymen of various European nationalities and the remainder Egyptians, Turks and Arabs, to capture the town of Derna. His was an epic journey of 500 days across the desert. During that time Eaton not only had to endure the hardships of a country in which the thermometer never dropped below 120 degrees but he also had to quell a mutiny, led by the man he was trying to put on the throne—Ahmet himself. But fi nally they reached Derna and there with some aid from three small American warships, Eaton and his men stormed the defenses of Derna, put to rout the 800 defenders of the city and took possession. For several weeks afterwards he beat oft the attacks of the enemy .% but in June he was ordered to evac uate the city by his government which thus threw away the victory he had so splendidly won. The only good that came out of his expedi tion was that some of the American seamen seized by the Tripolitans were exchanged fur prisoners Eaton seized when he captured Derna. Eaton returned to the United States where he was hailed as a hero for London —Mounted on prancing chargera in gorgeous trappings, the foremost nobles of all the British em a time.

When the felt is thoroughly damp it is easy to stretch it to the right size. eoe Milk Puddings — Orange peel shredded very finely makes an ex cellent flavoring for milk pud dings. It is a pleasant change from nutmeg when added to rice pudding or baked custard. • • • Cleaning Combs, Brushes—A teaspoon of ammonia in a quart of water will remove all grease and dirt from combs and brushes, after which they should be rinsed and dried in the sun. • • * Devilled Egg Lillies—Hard cook as many eggs as there are to be servings.

Carefully refill cavities Could We But Hear— We laugh over the “private lives” of the ancients. What will posterity think is the funniest about ours? It is softies who object to critics. Criticism — good criticism — is what there is not nearly enough of. But there are overwhelming oceans of gush. A good scold is preferable to a smearer of mo lasses. You can not really like an ego tistic man, but at times you ad mire him. A Rare Privilege— If a man should say to us, “I want to be perfectly frank with you,” there are only one or two men whom we would allow to go on. We realize what an offense swearing is when a woman in dulges in it. Ideas of beauty change; 60 years ago, young women pow dered their faces until they looked as if they were ill; and they laced their stays so tight, they were. Now----- Old-Girl-With-a-Face Presented Proof Positive “I’m afraid, madam,” said the bank clerk to the not-so-young-or- pretty woman who presented a check for payment, “that I shall have to ask you for some proof of your identity.” “Certainly,” she said with a sweet smile. Then, raising her voice a bit: “I’m the ‘old-girl-with-a-face’ on the other side of your fence.

More nutritious and digestible, too. • • * Stewed Macaroni — Boil one pound macaroni in milk and wa ter for three-quarters of an hour, adding one-fourth ounce butter, salt, and an onion stuck with cloves. Afterwards, drain the macaroni, add three ounces grat ed cheese, a little nutmeg, pep per, and a little milk or cream. Stew gently for five minutes and serve very hot. • • • Keeping Cheese Moist—To pre vent it from becoming dry, keep it wrapped in butter muslin, or in the glazed hygienic paper in which some bread is wrapped. • • • Tough Pastry—Too much water will make pastry tough.
