Washington.—Counting Indians may sound like a simple occupation, but Miss Rachel Jenss, who has tagged &Mary Graham Bonner COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN MEWS APES 50,000 Navahos for their great white father in Washington, found there was a trick in it. She just has completed a census of the chiefs, medicine men, squaws, pa- pooses—all the Indians on the Navaho reservation in northern Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, for the In- dian bureau of the Interior depart- ment. “When 1 started,” she said, *1 walked miles and miles on roads along the canyons and—I couldn't find an Indian! I had white guides. “Then I thought of getting an In- dian guide, and when I did I found that previously I had been walking past and over Indians all the time. The Navaho guides took me down the cunyons and into the recesses of the nills, and there we found large groups whose presence could not even be sus- pected from the upper trails.” ‘he census was made in the ab- sence of birth certificates in the tribes. The Navaho reservation contains vast stores of undeveloped wealth, and the Indian bureau wanted to establish rolls of the tribe in order that, when the question of property rights arose, there would be no doubt as to the identity of members of the tribe. Miss Jenss, a native of Michigan and a statistician trained at Vassar college, was in charge of the entire undertaking. She obtained two names of each Indian—his native name and the English one—and the age, sex, tribe, degree of native blood and fam- ily relationships. i She is now making a similar census | of the Papago and Pima tribes in Ari- zona. She has a staff of white and English guides working at Indian bu- reau centers. One of her headquar- ters is the famous old San Xavier mis- sion near Tucson.

And while regular inspections on the part of official personnel materially assist in the proper observance of the regulations, the tourist himself really holds the key to the situation,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health, today. “Camps in Pennsylvania to comply with the rules must afford a safe wa- night comes along they are out to en- joy themselves. They like the nightime best, but they only sleep a part of the winter. They feel that if they sleep all the time they get very stupid. Besides there is a good deal for them to do. They can get some of the roots out of the ground. They find some of the chestnuts they have hidden and have these meals as well. : The muskrats do not go to sleep for the winter the way so many of the animals do, and neither de the beavers. The old beavers work hard build- ing dams and do some very fine work. Mr. and Mrs. Muskrat live in their home and are kept busy feeding their children, They like a home in a river bank very much indeed. The racoons like to sit up in a tree and when they are awake they look very wide awake with their long- pointed faces and their bright eyes. Their faces are black but their fur is gray or brown with reddish touches to it—that was why this racoon of which we have spoken is named Red- dy. Another animal to come out in the winter when it is a bit warmer is the bear. > 3illy Bear and his family were out They Get Some of the Roots. After explaining how all laws were placed upon the statute books by the duly elected revresentatives of the people, he appealed to the women of America’s great patriotic society to devote their energies to law enforce- ment. Of course he emphasized pro- hibition, but he defined the nation’s lawlessness in other respects. In the address he said: “Theoretically, at least, we all have an equal stake in the law, but some have more to protect than others. We all have life. and life is precious even to those who seem to have little to enjoy, little to live for. “One set of laws designed primar- ily to protect life and property alike is our traffic regulations. How flag- rantly and how generally we disre- gard them almost evervwhere! In our. combvlicated evervday life one’s wits are not enough, even though they be quick, not even in a small town or in the country to prevent personal in- jury because of violation of traffic rules. The total of men and women and little children killed and maimed through wanton disregard of traffic regulations every vear exceeds the sum total of the casualties of any great battle of any war, and we are becoming so hardened that we seem to take this as a matter of course. The Constitution and laws are not garments which the individual may put on and take off at will.” “The blame for this state of affairs résts' uvon no particular class, Secre- tary Good stated. “Some of our me- accentuated it, but while it may be true that one can not indict an en- for the first time.

They just loom- ed up. For the condition of the bowl, as far as view from the stands was con- cerned and close inspection revealed, is “O.K.” But Altoona speedway officials came back with a counter statement— “The Altoona Speedway will inaugur- ate the 1929 season with a 200-mile 'of the Department's safe ter supply at all times. The display drinking water sign is the best indication that this regulation is being observed. “The grounds must be maintained in a sanitary condition at all times and proper disposition of garbage must be made. This regulation is easily enforced and will not be disre- garded by camp operators if tourists refuse to patronize establishments that plainly violate this requirement. And the same may be said for the public toilet facilities which, under the regulations, must be kept clean and free from fly breeding possibili- ties. International Championship race June 15.” To prove they mean business the directors have approved an order for extensive repairs. With approxi- mately $27,000 already spent on re- surfacing the track during the past season and more reconstruction work being made each day, the Altoona Speedway will be listed this season as practically a new track. Three more carloads of lumber are on their way to the speedway site and will be laid immediately upon receipt in preparation for the 200-mile class- ic June 15. The finest Long Leaf Pine lumber obtainable is being used and when the job is completed it is predicted that the bowl will not be in need of repair again for at least three years. Further carrying out a safety pro- |gram started by the Altoona direc- tors, the Speedway workmen are making preparations to eliminate fire hazards at the pits by tearing out the boards immediately in. front of the “minute repair shops.” The boards will be replaced by a patented macadam especially prepar- ed for speedway use. “Other factors such as throwing ‘garbage into a stream or otherwise | polluting it is for the most part a matter within the province of the tourist himself, as is also the extin- and perhaps permit the growing of corn in latitudes far north, has been produceds on the experimental farm of the Funk Brothers Seed Company in McLean County, Illinois. _ Other strains that resist drought and disease have also been produced successfully on the farm, according to Andrew S. Wing in Farm and Fire- side. The experiments have been carried out under the direction of Doctor James Holbert, who told the maga- zine writer that it is his ambition to a whole township planted with the same seed corn so that his experi- ments will not suffer from polleniza- tion by inferior strains. “We have a strain,” he said, “that withstood a temperature of 27 de- grees during the ripening period; but that is only one phase of the prob- lem. Some varieties were killed when the mercury dropped to 42. You don’t need to have frost to kill corn. Then, too, vou must consider the abil- ity of corn seedlings to withstand cold in the early spring. One year we had a good test on this. The tem- perature dropped to 25 for several hours. Some strains were killed, others lost their leaves and a very few withstood the frost. Subsequent tests have shown that inbred strains in general react the same each season to identical conditions. But they are not absolutely uniform. “Fortunately our best cold-resistant ,guishing of fires used for cooking | purposes. “Outdoor life¢ in the summer season is one of humanity’s greatest boons. | Tourist and picnicing camps add | much to such possibilities.

That will have {to be checked several times. “But cold-resistance is not enough. {One of our good strains fell down ‘badly during an August drought. We have to examine all our inbred i strains for all qualities that affect igrowth, disease, resistance and yield.” Because the weather man is not al- [ways cooperative, Doctor Holbert ibuilt a frost machine—an electric re- i frigerator that can be lowered over four hills of corn te give them any | temperature desired. The machine !is speeding up the work. = Another device measures the strength of the root systems. Some corn varieties have as few as fifteen main roots while others have as many as sixty’ or more. , In a preliminary test of the new strains alongside good average corn taken from the farmers’ planter box- es, the average yield of the new i strains was 18 bushels to the acre of J S .
