Back In 1868, Bow And Arrow
Gave Indians Ample Firepower
SEATTLE (UPD- The Indians
of the American Plains, who
sltfwed the westward-moving pio
neers, may not have had the most
modern weapons, but they had
plenty of firepower in their bows
and arrows flaming or other
wise.
At least the whites who were
contemporary do not seem to
have felt that all the odds were
against the red man.
Here is the opinion on the sub
ject as published by an Army of
ficer's wife in 1868:
"Popular opinion has regarded
the Indian bow and arrow as
something primitive and well
enough for the pursuit of game,
but quite useless in a contest with
the while man. This idea would
be excellent if tile Indian war
riors would calmly march up in
line of battle and risk their mass
es so armed against others armed
with the rifle. But the Indian
will farther penetrate a piece of
comes as the hornet comes, in
clouds or singly, yet never trying
to sting iintil his ascendency is
assured and his own exposure is
slight.
"At fifty yards a wcll-shapen,
iron-pointed arrow is dangerous
and very sure. A handful drawn
from the quiver and discharged
successively will make a more
rapid fire than that of the re
volver, and at very short range

1 I m
BY ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 14-year-old
girl, and a little nutty.
If vou can explain why I am
tlike I am, u
' ?'jf , be grateful for-
! ever.
I'm going
steady with the
best looking
I kid in the
school. Freddie
I has everything a;
girl could pos
sibly want. He's
smart, handsome, popular and he
hn Aimed over me. But the
problem is my crazy feelings,
Snmellmes when we are togeth
er I am bored and wish he would
.go home. After he leaves I miss
P. ... i .t ...:.u U.'J
him line crazy ana i wish u
come back.
Last week we were at a flea
hop (that's a dance) and there
were two fellows there that looked
good to me. I kept wishing I
wasn t going sieaay wnn rreuuie
when I saw Freddie danc-
ins with another girl, and holding
her close, I almost jumped out
of my skin.
Why am I hot and cold, low
and hieh? Do you thing I'm
mentally ill? BRENDA
Brenda: The high low, hot
cold routine means you have not
yet matured emotionally.
At 14 you should not be going
steady with anyone no matter
how dreamy. It's unwise and
unhealthy for a girl your age
to have a heavy emotional Invest
ment In any one lelloir.
Dear Ann Landers: My hus
band and I bought a home near
the high school because we have
three children of high school age
and I was sick and tired of driving
kids back and forlh. Unfortunate
ly, the house has two extra bedrooms.
Now it seems my husband's
sister wishes to unload her high
school girl on us because they
live on the other side of town and
the bus lino docs not run within
seven blocks of them. In addi
tion to this, my own brother
wants up to keep his two sons
weekdays only, he said) because
we livo near school and his wife
must have an opcralion which
will put her off her feet for three
months.
Bluntly speaking, my own three
teenagers are more than I can
handle and 1 don't want the
responsibility of three more. My
husband says it's up to me. My
mother warns if 1 refuse I'll
bo branded by the family as
selfish and mean. Help, please.
ON THE SPOT
Dear Spot: Rooming and hoard
ing high school children Is an
enormous responsibility, not to
mention the additional work.
If you do not want to do It. he
as blunt with them as you were
with me and say no. This makrs
more tense than knuckling undrr
for fear ol what the relatives will
say or thing.
Dear Ann Landers: I just lead
the letter in your column today
from the molher In a T B. hos
pital. Since I have lived through
the experience I wanted to let
her know how my case turned
out.
My boys were "7 and 9 years of
age. My husband had his own
trucking business and was away
from home a great deal. When
the doctor told me I would have
to be hospitalized for several
months I didn t see how we could
manage. We could only obtain
part-time help and most of that
proved inefficient. However, it is
amazing how self-sufficient chil
dren can be when put to the test.
I returned home well and happy
after 10 months. Three years la
ter we had a baby girl. I rejoice
that I stayed away from my
family that 10 months and did
not risk infecting them. Inci
dentally, the boys learned to do
great many things for them
selves and will be better hus
bands because of It. MRS. O.A.P.
Dear Mrs. P.i Many thanks
for your fine letter. I appreciate
your taking tho time to share
your experience with us.
To learn the booby-traps of
teenage drinking, write for Ann
Landers' booklet "Teenage Drink
ing," enclosing with your re
quest 20 cents in coin and a long,
self-addressed, stamped enve
lope.
Ann Landers will bo glad to
help you with your problems.
Send them to her in care of this
newspaper enclosing a stamped,
self-addressed envelope.

even through a man or buffalo."
mis on-the-spot reporting is
quoted by Ralph W. Andrews in
a book just published by Superior
Publishing Company, Seattle
In the book, "Indians as the
Westerners Saw Them," Andrews
ignores the story of the period as
set down years afterwards by pro
fessional historians. Instead he
presents accounts by early set
tlers "who had actual contacts
with the Indians and wrote down
what they saw and thought."
This approach corrects some
misapprehensions and also adds
data in areas not usually covered
by the historians.
An account of Sioux Indians
published in the Omaha Bee
about 1886 or 1887 discussed the
Indians' selection of personal
names,
"One remarkable feature of the
Indian nomenclature is that the
selections are frequently unchaste
and at times shockingly inde
cent," the report said. "Although
they have instincts of modesty,
such as discountenance of expos
ure of persons or lewdness of any
character, there is no such thing
as vulgarity in the speech of the
Indian.
'All themes are open to men
tion in the presence of both men
and women, and matters on
which we would feel the utmost
delicacy are freely discussed be
tween them. The propriety of this
is insured by the innocence in
which custom allows it. The In
dian knows nothing of the sala
cious, filthy converse largely com
mon to his more enlightened
white brother.
'He cannot appreciate the vi
cious pleasure excited by a vulgar
yarn, for him the subject is mat
ter-of-fact and not under the ban
of indecency."

French Confident Ben Bella Will Avoid Civil War
VPI Foreign News Analyst
Notes from the foreign news
cables:
Face-Saving:
Despite Algerian Premier Ah
med Ben Bella's tough talk
against the Kabylian rebels,
French officials art) confident
there will be no civil war in Al
geria. They believe Ben Bella
will do everything to reach a
face-saving compromise. Ben Bel
la docs not have the military
strength to conquer the rebels'
Kabylia mountain stronghold
which several hundred thousand
French troops also failed to re
duce during the Algerian war.
So far as French relations with
Ben Bella are concerned, the
French have reacted angrily to
the nationalization of all French
farmland in Algeria but the
French will think twice before
taking any sharp reprisals. They
want at all costs to avoid pro
voking Ben Bella into seizing the
Sahara oilfields, too.
Macmlllan's Future:
Political insiders say it still is
a 60-50 bet whether British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan will
yield Conservative party leader
ship in advance of the coming
general elections. Talk now is he
is under fire in party councils
not so much for staying on but for
not making his own wishes clear.
It is being argued that this is
hamstringing party planning. On
Macmillan s side it is said he Is
equivocating because he feels
there is no agreement on any one
man to succeed him. More light
on his plans may come when he
makes the windup speech at this
week's Conservative party con-gress.
Red Feelers:
Berlin experts are on the alert
I for some probing moves by Com
munist East Germany after Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer turns
over his post to Luduig Erhard.
Rightly or wrongly, many Com
munists feel there is a possibility
Erhard will follow a more "flex
ible" policy toward the east bloc
than Adenauer. East Germany
desperately wants credits and
trade with West Germany. One
move might be to see whether
some minor concession, such as
permission to West Berliners to
visit East Berlin, would draw a
favorable response from Erhard
on financial questions.
Spaniih Cabinet:
Madrid observers expect a
shuffle of Generalissimo Francis
co Franco's cabinet this fall, but
predict no change in the coun
try's basic policies. Ministers
effected would be those whose
views are considered outmoded
in a period when Spain is liberal
izing and moving toward full in
tegration in the Western world.
Khrushchev:
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev is preparing a report on
Russia's chronic agricultural
problems for the November meet
ing of the central committee.
Since agriculture and the Sino
Soviet quarrel continue to take
up most of his time, little action
is expected on East-West prob
lems beyond leisurely discussions
of measures to prevent surprise
attack, space cooperation and a
non-aggression pact between
Warsaw and NATO pact nations.
