Indians Object to Boss Rule in Tribal Affairs Orilla, Ontario.--A tempest is brewing in the tepees of the llama Indian reservation here over the allegations that boss rule Is being? Injected Into tribal affairs. Charging that Chief Alder York is a nontreaty Indian, who has gained and retained power by "packing" the councils of the tribe with other nontreaty red men, some twenty members of the reservation have appealed to the Canadian government at Ottawa, asking that York and thrpe of his dep- ^ * uties be removed from office. The Rama Indians occupy the reservation near here under treaty tvith the government, and receive treaty money annually from the Dominion treasury. York's opponents declare that he Is not one of the tribe to whom the treaty applies; that he is smuggling other ineligible Indians Into the reservation In an effort to keep himself in power as chief of the tribe; that the intruders are usurping the most fertile land on the reservation, and forcing its rightful occupants to migrate -further north; and that they are pocketing the bulk of the -annual treaty money, Instead of distributing U funoag Its rightful beneficiaries. Horses Used to-Coyotes Chased 30,Miles by Pony Ritzvllle, Wash.--John Kramer's bqnd of 47 horses and mules had gazed on many strange things and found them unalarming. They could look placidly at motor cars or coyotes. Mountain bears did not frighten them. Bat when a wandering Shetland pony trie44o attach itself to the stock, there resulted what observers feelingly termed "the dangest stanjpede In the history of Adams county." It was 7:30 a. m. when the Shetland first appeared. The horses and mules headed away from there on a dead run, the pony at their heels. Hearing the thundering hoofs, raneh employees headed off all but 18 of the frightened animals. These disappeared down the road in a cloud of dust, the Shetland still In pursuit. .For two hours the frightened stock ran, covering 80 miles. When finally found, the horses and mules were on a sheep range on the Palouse river. The Shetland pony had disappeared. "Paris Mayors" of U.

Great Human Gift What a gift it is to make all men better and happier without knowing we are doing It--Henry Ward Beechar. HOW= By ROMB C STEPHENSON Pnsid--t Americmm Bankers Assaekrt-- f>ANKERS recognize that their business carries especially heavy public responsibilities and welcome all sound measures to aid them meet the duties this imposes. Unceasing efforts to bring about continually improving methods to safeguard d e p o s i t o r s In banks of all kinds have long been uppermost In the plans of bankers* o r g a n i z e * a C STEPHEN SON tIons throughout the nation. They are not the outgrowth merely of tho past year of business adversity, but have been carried on actively for many years and have resulted in great progress along lines of better, safer banking methods. Although banking along with all business has suffered reverses, conditions in this fleld have been far less severe than they would have been had not bankers been widely successful in their endeavors to develop the high standards of banking that now generally prevail. The American Bankers Association and bankers' organizations in every state actively support the principle of government supervision of banking. The national banks, which receive their charters to do business from the federal government, are under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency at Washington. Through his efficient staffs of expert bank examiners in every section he has the duty and powers to keep watch of the way every national bank is being conducted, to suggest desirable changes in its policies or methods and even to step in and take control for the protection of the depositors If such action is wat» ranted. The state banks, also, which are chartered by the various state got" ernments, are subject to similar tfth pervlslon and control by state bank officials. In addition banks in many places have long maintained voluntary clearing house associations which en» force even closer supervision over their members. Beakers Favor Public Supervision Present laws adequately enforce® contain ample provisions for government supervision. Bankers univer* sally believe In strong, capable banking departments manned by officials with the discretion and courage to enXorc| these laws and act under them as ths common welfare demands. They be» lieve that these public officials should be paid sufficient salaries to command the services of men of character, ability and a resolute spirit of public service .They believe also that the banking departments should be kept free from all political or other special influence ' In order to be able to act at all times with single-minded independence solely for the benefit of the public interest. Although banks in the United States operating under state or national char* ters are thus subject to supervision of public authority, they are strictly private business enterprises. They ars owned by their stockholders and ad* ministered by officials chosen through the boards of director which their stockholders elect. No bank is owned or operated by the United States Government, nor, with one small exceptioa in a western state, by any state go\j» eminent. The function of government in banking la to promote and enforcs careful banking administration through the system of examination and supep* vision which I have described. This, however, ddes not relieve the individual depositor from the necessity of judging and choosing carefully as ta his banking relations, just as in his other business or professional relations. He must inquire for himself Into the character and type of institution and men he shall do business with, satisfying himself as to their reputa* tion, reliability and capability. Thess qualities are essential to complete ths element of safety and dependability IS any human institution. INVISIBLE ULTRA - VIOLET RAY AIDS PHOTOGRAPHER. --A new way to take photomicrographs by Invisible ultraviolet rays, developed' by a Rochester (N. Y.) camera firm and an optical manufacturer of the same city, makes It possible to use ordinary glass lenses in the microscope. Photomicrography with ultraviolet rays is not new. The most highly magnified photographs in the world are made with these invisible rays, and pictures taken at the Bell Telephone laboratories, where the process was originally perfect- 'ed, have been made with magnification as high as 6,000 diame- _ ters. Hitherto, however, expen- ' sive quarts lenses have been required. Now the Rochester experimenters, says Popular Science Monthly, have found a way to use ultra-violet rays so nearly resembling visible light that they will pass through glass. Tests showed that pictures could be made m a g n i f i e d a f i f t h again as much as those taken with ordinary lig3it. One of ftie most successful pictures showed a grain of hollyhock pollen, so enlarged that a vague gray ring around it, as seen Invisible light, became a clear circle of spines. One specimen of a worm could not be photographed in the new way because its body contained a layer that stopped ultra-violet rays. in Amriaa Soil The body of James Smithson, founder of the Smithsonian Institution, waa brought to America from Genoa In- January, 1904.

ILLINOIS SIU TELEPHONE COMPANY LET'S BE CAREFUL and keep on LIVING C^VERY five minutes there J» in C accidental death. Every year over 100,000 people lose arnti feet or hands in accidents. In our country alone, during 1929, ov«r 98,000 people were killed in accidents. About 31,000 of these were motor vehicle deaths; 18,000 were from falls; 8,000 from drownings; 6,000 from burns; 3,000 from mine accidents; the others from various causes. Preliminary reports oo 1930 motor vehicle fatalities indicate a 4% increase over 1929. This would mean over 32*000 motor vehicle deaths last year. These nmazing figures do not tell the whole story. Back of these cruel facts of death and mutilation are the pitiful tales of lives ruined, bodies crippled, hopes blasted, earning ability lost, families in misery, poverty and want. Incidentally, it is said that accidents cost America $2,250,000,000 a year. Whatever the causes -- human carelessness, official neglect, public indifference --the removal of these causes is a mighty need of today. The National Safety Council for yeait has waged war for accident prevention* Spreading education far safety promotion, it cooperates with civic bodies, industries and individuals. The Council's work is of inestimable value, deserving the active support of every business and civic organization, every church, schooA aad dub, every parent and teacher. The Western United Gas and Electric Company, in hearty accord with the Safety Council's aims, pledges full cooperation. Our organization has a well-manned efficient accident-prevention staff. Many of our employes have completed Red Cross First Aid courses, with expert knowledge in prone pressure resuscitation, bandaging and other life-saving work. In our operating divisions safety instruction it regularly given. ID most industries there are safety measures and devices for employes'protection. The average worker is safer at Ins work than away from it. Always to be careful is EVERYBODY'S business. To safeguard ourselves and others. To teach the children care. To protect the incompetent and the very old. Wherever you go, whatever you do, THINK, TALK AND ACT FOR SAFETY. The time to he careful*J| BEFORE the accident happens.
