LURE OF WILD WEST SHOWS FOR INDIANS
OFFERS PROBLEM TO U. S. GOVERNMENT
WHICH TRIES TO KEEP RED MEN AT HOME
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Indians who forsake humdrum pursuits of
the soil for the colorful but uncertain life of wild west show troopers and
Navajo youngsters who are too busy heerding sheep to require learning are
but a few of the problems Commissioner Charles H. Burke has to cope
with as father to 34,000 Indians in twenty-four states who are under fed
eral guardianship, says a report to the Indian Bureau.
Commissioner Burke in his annual
report today declares that if depart
ment sanction were given to all re
quests for Indians, from a few dozen
to several hundred by wild west shows
thousands of Indians would be on the
road all the time with nothing at
home of value when they returned.
“Showmen," the report continued,
“offer constant inducements to the In
dians to leave their homes and local
means of support for pleasureable at
tractions of various kinds that usually
bring them little- or nothing above
subsistence and the managers of
which often go broke and leave the
Indians stranded far from home.”
Several thousand Navajo Indians of
school age failed to receive any edu
cations because they are needed to
help care for sheep, which is the only
source of income of the tribe.
Just think of all the pretty white
cigarettes that are stained by paint
ed lips.
The girls in an office building at
Seattle got together and signed a
paper agreeing they wouldn’t marry
any man making less than $500 a
month. Then they found out there
are not that many plumbers in the
state.
The days are shorter, but Lee Bel
linger, says the distance between
Sunday’s is still the same.

Star Customer: Here’s three dollars.
Mr. McMullan: But you don’t owe
me anything.
Star customer: I know it; but
when my wife buys a $2 box of
cigars for a present for me, just
make it a $5 box—see!
Auother thing that plays havoc
with our illusions is the sight of a
powder-rag after it’s been used on
what looked like a perfectly clean
girl.
I don’t understand. He is not a
lawyer, but the office boy let a man
in to see him as soon as he said.

The kiss that friend wife bestows
in the event may be affection and

The sweet young thing was ex
amining cameras. What is the name
of this one? She inquired of the
<*
assistant.
That is a Belvadere, replied the
clerk.
For a moment there was a chilly
silence. Then the sweet young thing
pulled herself together and inquired
icily. And can you recommend the
Belva ?
Veil, Abe, how vas you going
out-of-business sale?
Fine. I thing I have another one
shortly.
Irate father: Why did you ever
run awray with that lawyer?
Daughter: Father, dear, didn’t you
tell me always to follow your coun
sel?
What the Japanese need is some
thing like the question of bobbed
hair to take their minds off emigra
tion.
Correct this sentence: Jerry Mur

The distance between some stu
dents’ ears is one block. *
Some husbands have dens; others
growl all over the place.
Even an extremely nervous person
might be handy with a sieve.
The laziest man in the world is
Smith who bought a Lizzie so he
wouldn’t have to shake the ashes off
his cigars.
Seen on a Freshman’s entrance
card: “Parent of Guardian—Mama
and Papa.”
Lazy people have no right to com
plain. Busy ones have no time.
Some radio concerts should be out
cast instead of broadcast.
Branch Office Committee
Be Opened at Anchorage
JUNEAU: Instructions have been
received by R. A. Darling, special
[agent of the Bureau of Investigation,
to open an office at Anchorage. He
jexpects to proceed there about Janu
ary 1 to establish the office and will
remain there as long as it is required
to get It into operation.
For the past year the only office
maintained by the Bureau in Alaska
has beeen that located here. Prior
to that time branches were maintain
ed by agents in charge at Fairbanks
and Valdez, as well as in this city.
The other two were abolished later.
No detailed plan for maintenance
of the two offices have been made
known whether it will send a second
agent north to aid in the work, and
if Mr. Darling will have active charge
at both Anchorage and Juneau.
GOVERNMENT FLEET
OF MERCHANT SHIPS
UNDER NEW AUTHORITY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—Acced
ing to the washes of President Cool
idge, as expressed in his message
to Congress, the shipping board has
detailed almost complete authority
to the Emergency Fleet Corporation
in the operation of the government
fleet of merchant ships. The fleet
corporation will do practically every
thing except to determine the trade
routes which prerogative will be re
tained by the shipping board. Once
the trade routes are established the
fleet corporation will decide how and
to what extent the route shall be
served, and what class of ships shall
be used.

Sensational Game Story
The following dispatch sent out
from Anchorage by some correspon
dent in the Cook Inlet city is going
the rounds of the States press, and
appears to be generally believed by
their readers:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 27.—
Any red blooded man desiring to get
a real trophy this year has a chance
now to take back home a mighty ant
lered moose head from this section of
Alaska.
Moose have increased rapidly and
threaten to destroy the extensive
growth of willow and birch in the val
leys and lowlands should hunters fail
to reduce their numbers. Game War
den George Cotter in his report de
clares that moose have more than

thrived on Kenai peninsula and esti
mates that at least 5,000 of them will
winter on that arm of wooded land
sticking out into the gulf of Alaska.
Where did all these moose come
from? This question is heard on ev
ery hand for they are seen in all parts
of Alaska. There is a theory of local
origin that moose have been driven
away from the continued banging of
guns year after year and finding their
way slowly through the wilderness,
crossed the mountains into the Cas
sier district. The climate and food
are ideal for moose.
Last season but sixty-seven hunters
took out license to kill moose. To
procure a trophy is convincing proof
of cool nerves and keen marksman
ship, for the moose is wary, crafty and
it requires a perfect judgment of dis
tance and a steady finger on the trig
ger to- bring to earth the crowned
monarch of all big game.
Blessed are the meek, for they
don’t insist that one write a news
story exactly as they give it.
Nathan Hale’s Room
Will Be Duplicated
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 29.—
Old Connecticut Hall, built years
before the Revolution and now dis
tinguished as having been the col
lege home of Nathan Hale when he
was an undergraduate at Yale, no
longer will stand in lonely dignity on
Yale campus. An exact duplicate
of that famous structure is to be
erected alongside Connecticut Hall
as part of Yale’s program to enlarge
its freshman class. The university
plans to complete the structure by
next fall, putting therein accommo
dations for fifty-six men. Walter V.
Chambers, of New York, graduate of
Yale in the olass of 1887, has drawn
plans for the building which will he
built by the university’s own con
struction crews.
