Put there mostly by a three months old boxer puppy who thinks that biting is grand sport and who takes his teething serious ly. - He's diligence personified when It comes to dragging out a shoe from the bottom of a pile, discon necting the dust bag on the va cuum cleaner or worming his way Into the icebox to snatch a forbid- ...... Also turninOnto quite a stalker. Usually with me as the target. Nothing like, having 20 pounds of hurtling pup crasn uuo uie oacx of your neck when you're sitting down, to take a breather after mowing the lawn. Yep. She's a whole life for sure. Can't imagine what it was like before we had him and had to get along with nothing but a big Siamese cat. And I very much suspect that the cat can't either! These last few days of rain have done quite a bit along the lawn angle, too. Made 'em grow like a weed. And the weeds are also growing like weeds. I suppose a man who could find a cure for the common cold would be a millionaire overnight, but it wouldn't take more than a week to make a multimillionaire out of the man who could find an easily ap plied solution that would allow your lawn to grow only one inch high and keep It soft, lush and green all summer. Which reminds us that we've often thought it wouldn't be a bad Idea to pass a lew savins that all cities must have a grass strip down the center of all downtown streets. It would provide beauty, a soothing restfulness to the eyes and afford more and better space in our crowded downtown areas. 11 jjl 1; HAL BOYLE On the subject of traffic, hare you ever noticed that the average driver is pretty courteous about stopping for pedestrian lanes when ine weauier is nice, but when it starts to rain he won't stop short of running you down? A queer bit of human psychology that I dont really understand. You'd think it would be just the opposite. May be it s because in good weauier they are filled with good feeling to ward the human' raca and when it rains they just don't care. ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Jeff Riddle, who wrote the "In dian History of the Modoc War" has a different version of Captain Jackson's approach to the Lost River camp of the Modocs. Riddle's narrative is of Interest when com- nared with other versions as he has added a number of significant points that cannot be ignored. Rid. die tells the Modoc story as he knew It and beard It told by his people, and, as in the case of other chroniclers we can ne wrong ana has made errors, in repeating stories that have come to him from others who were not sure of their tacts. Riddle likewise does not tell all the story as be knew it. Jeff Riddle along with his moth er. Tobey. his father. Frank and a troupe of Modoc Indians who had been active in the Modoc War made a. tour of the eastern lecture cir cuit under the guidance of A. B. Meacham and O. C. Applegate. The Indians helped put on the act that went with Meacham's lecture on the Modoc war. This is one ba sic fact that a reader of Riddle's narrative must give consideration to, because without a doubt the story as told by Meacham ias ex erted an lniiuence on wnat tuaaie bss written. Items that has attracted our in terest is the name of Tobey Riddle, Jeffs mother, who has been en shrined in literature "Wi-ne-ma," the heroine of the Mo doc War. Yet In the 700 pages of Meacham's "wigwam and War Path," the name, "Wi-ne-ma," does not occur In the narrative. In this first book of Meacham's, the name, "Wi-ne-ma," appears only on a wood-cut of a portrait of Tobey Riddle. There is apparently no au thentic record showing that Tobey Riddle had any other name than Tobey and the name, "Wi-ne-ma," appears when she became a mem ber of Meacham's lecturing com pany. Various writers have stated that Captain Jack was well aware of every movement of the Indian De partment because numerous sym pathizers kept him informed. Jeff Riddle adds a thought along this line because In his narrative, speak ing of Odeneal's, 28th of November decision, he writes: "Tobey Riddle rode towards Lost River from Yreka, California At last she reaches the top of a small ridge. She stops her faithful mare, and says to herself, 'I guess my people are safe yetl' In a few minutes Tobey is among her people. They gathered around her. She tells in these words, 'I' am glad to see all of you. I left my home this morning about fifty-1 eight miles. I cannot stay overnight here. I must go on to my father and brother.' Jack replies, 'Cousin, you look tired and anxious; what is the matter? Your folks are just over the hill at Nuh-sult-rar-ka. Your brother, Charley, is better. Did you hear of him being sick?' Tobey shook ber head. She was crying. After, she overcame her grief, she said. 'The soldiers will be here tomorrow. I rode hard in or der to reach you people. What I want to tell you is this Do not resist the soldiers. .Do not offer fight: it you listen to the officers, you people will not get hurt. Co back to the agency. You all know John Schonchin's brother and my brother, Charley. All their people are living in Yainax, and no one bothers them. They are Modocs. Go to Yainax, where the other Modocs are. You will be safe if you take my advice, but if you fight the soldiers, all of you will be killed. You cannot whip the white people. There is too may of them. You people could never kill all the soldiers the government could send here.' Captain Jack: 'I do not want to fight, and I do not expect to fight without the soldiers force me to fight; if I am forced to take up arms against roe soldiers, I win die game.' " Riddle then continues that Tobey Riddle mounted her horse and 'started In a gallop on the trail headed for Nuh-sult-rar-ka, where now stands uie town ol Bonanza Tobey arrived at her destination long after sun-down, told her folks that the soldiers would be after the Modocs over on Lost River tomor row, some of the Indians packed up that same night and made their way towards Yainax. The ride of Tobey Riddle was on the 17th day of November, 1872. The distance this woman rode on that short No vember day was about seventy-five miles." It appears significant that all the Modocs were cot living on the res ervation and Captain Jack's band was the only group that was not unaer tne constant watctuul eye of Uie benevolent Indian Department. These other bands of Modocs who were still living upon their tradl- tional winter home sites apparent ly were no source of conflict. They were not asking for a separate res ervation upon land contemplated by wane interests. Riddle goes on to state: "As soon as Tobey left Captain Jack's village . . . . Scar-face Charley, Bhak-nasty Jim, Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, Hooker Jim. Skukum Horse. Curley-headed Jack and others got on their ponies and started around BERLIN UV There are cigarette butts on the streets of Berlin, the city with the split personality, There are thousands of window flower boxes blooming In bright color. To me these are more significant testimonials to the postwar recov. ery of the German capital, still the fulcrum of the East-West tug-of- war, than the sight of workmen raising tall scaffolding to repair damaged buildings. In 1946 if a visitor flicked away a half-smoked cigarette here five native hands grabbed for it before it hit the pavement. The collection of cigarette butts was a leading industry, as tobacco, coffee and sugar often took the place of money as a medium of exchange and a measure of value. Even bankers tilled backyard gardens because food was so scarce, and a few found time or energy to raise flowers. The win dow boxes were barren of bloom. The third most important sign of recovery Is the disappearance of the look of fear and fawning from the eyes ot the people who live here. In IMS the typical Berlin iook was mat of a castaway anl mal, a homeless expression of cau tious pleading that seeks friend. ship from a stranger. That look is gone altogether. These signals of human recov. ery and a return to human dienitv and self-confidence are far more impressive than Berlin's property .recovery, the almost miraculous speed with which it is restoring its oanerea pnysicai structure. No city Its size in history ever iook a more learsome nattering. Allied airplanes rained 75,000 tons oi bombs on it, Russian artillery methodically shelled it for weeks in a calculated effort to reduce It to complete ruin. As a result the citr lost Soft.OM lives, 38 per cent of the buildings in its jiu-square-mile area went destroyed, and an additional 38 ner cent were aamageo. Altnougn the aeons nas Deen tidied up, enei- neers recently estimated 100 mil lion tons of rubble still remained. But tne streets are thronged, new shops stocked with food, cloth, ing or luxury goods open up reg ularly, and the souabblinsr father. ings of black market operators are gone. The Allled-occuplcd Western sec tors and the Russian-held Eastern sector are peculiarly different. The Russians dramatically symbolized Benin's property revival with a concentrated show window recon struction of Stalin Allee. Biz yel low-tiled apartment buildings and -i ; the north side of Tule Lake to see the settlers. They told the white settlers, namely, Boddys, Brother tons, Overton s. Miller. Bibus. Browns and all the others that the soldiers would be at their village the following day. If the soldiers did not treat them right, they were going to light." street shops, Russian In design and as Impersonal as sardines in can, line that thoroughfare . for miles. But step one block away and you are back In uncleared debris. Western Berlin has no single re construction job to equal this but has spread a vaster building re vival program throughout the en tiro sector. But the difference in the human rehabilitation factor' is clear to even the most casual visitor. The people in the Western sector are better dressed, the shops hold more goods, the streets are better kept up than those In the Russian sector. The problem of unemployment is greater in the Allied sector, of course, the chief reason being that 305.737 refugees poured across from the East In 1953 some 37,410 more In the first four months of this year. Whether they come In quest of food or the political and spiritual nourishment of a freer world, they do come. Despite this flood of ref ugees, the Western sector authori ties have cut their total of unem ployed from 300.000 down to 197,. 000. Each year Western Berlin is living more on its own efforts, less on the cuff of help from the Allies and the federal German re public. The sector remains as a redoubt island surrounded by a Red fide of communism. But the air of hopelessness Is gone, and nobody Is busy pushing the panic button. PeoDle want to tlx up toeir nomes, open new businesses, grow flowers again in their window boxes. They pick their cigarettes Irom a pack et instead of a pavement. As one German told me: "Anything can still happen, of course, but at least we feel our Allies won't just ride up to the air port one morning and fly away and leave us to the Russians.

JORDAN, M.D. Tnis column Is In response to several requests from renders to discuss silicosis. This chronic con. dltlon of the lungs Is the result ot breathing in over a long period of time air containing small particles ui siuca. silica Is a substance which Is widely distributed over the earth and makes up. a large part ol rocks and minerals. It occurs In high concentration In granite and omer rocks. mis ocing tne case, a person wno is exposed to fine dust Is likely to Inhale a good deal of silica: sili cosis Is, therefore, largely an oc cupational disease. The hazard exits particularly among mine and tunnel workers. stonecutters and those engaged In certain kinds of manufacture, such as glass making, molding of metals oi aorasives. Fifteen or 20 years' exposure to dangerous particles of silica may result in the production of fibrous nobulea In the lungs. Furthermore. there la a relation between sili cosis and tuberculosis. The diagnosis of silicosis Is not always easy. Two things are necessary: A history of exposure In occupation and the characteris tic findings in the X-ray film. A curious feature of silicosis Is that the appearance of the lungs on X-ray may not bear any relation to the severity of the symptoms. The symptoms may be severe with very little X-ray changes, or the other way around. Indeed, silicosis may reach a fairly advanced suae without CKUsing anything other than slight shortness of breath. Prevention of silicosis Is the best line of attack. In the dusty trades, every possible measure should be employed to free the air of dan gerous quantities of silica-contain-lug dust.
