The schedules were in compliance with the commission's order that such reductions be made by Aug. 1. The readjustment of rates is to result in increased tonnage. Typical reductions in carload Kites are: Prom Springfield to Jacksonville-- $1 to 80 cents, per ton for both lump and fine coal. From Springfield to Quincy--Lump, $1.69 to $1.50 per ton, and fine $1.60 to (1.29. , From Southern Illinois to Quincy-- Lump, $2.06 to $UL0 per ton, and fine, $1.89 to $1-65.

Springfield to Bloomington--$1.00 pt 94c, lump and fine. In its order the commission refused to permit increases in coal shipment rates to such points as Kankakee, LaSalle, Streator, Ottawa, Galesburp and Hoopeston. Commissioner Paul Samuell of Jacksonville, commenting on the reduction, said: The rate redactions. Coming at the time the wage controversy between miners and operators apparently is near a settlement is expected to benefit greatly the Illinois coal industry. As for the railroads, the reductions undoubtedly will return to tham the handling of somecoai now being shipped by truck."

LEAGUES PALACE READY IN 2 YEARS SthMtwsl Work at Gsam Is Nsw Coinnpicte. €fon«v«.--fhs Lcagus of Nitons' new |5,000,060 palacs will be completcd in 1934. The structural work on the secretariat building Is completed. Construction on the council hall already has started. The foundations of the assembly hall and the Rockefeller library are being dag. ^ The project for s permanent league building was advanced In 1926. Aftei' many disputes over the elte, the foundatMfr stone was laid in September of fi Active construction work on the K<fcetariat building did not begin until March of 1031. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., gave added Impetus to the project when he contributed $2,000,000 for the construction of s library. Since the establishiHeat of the league, Americans have donated mere than $8,000,000 totterd Its worlu The present rite of theiaew palace is still a subject of many bitter disputes. The building committee originally wanted to conatnsi-t the palace on the lak«f, Just a short distance from the present secretariat. An original plot of sloping land was obtained from the city, but It was found insufficient The committee started negotiations with an aged and wealthy Englishwoman, Mrs. Alexis Barton, who owned the adjoining property. Mrs. Barton, who is known as the empress of Oepeva for her autocratic leadership of society here, refused to sell. The original site was one of the most beautiful in the vicinity of Geneva. The palace would (have been situated on a small hill on a point overlooking the lake in two directions. It would have been closer to town and the international labor office. But another and less attractive site -was chosen. The offices of the secretariat provide space for between 500 and 600 offices. The secretariat will be balanced on the right end by the council hall. This hall forms a break in the construction, the assembly hall being set back some distance into a terraced patio, which connects with the council hall and the secretariat The entrance to the assembly hall will be separate. Across the patio, the Rockefeller library will balance the council IpU. All the buildings are connected by covered wings, which will contain committee rooms. In front of the palace Is a sloping pttrk, which will be terraced to hide the railroad tracks. New Alarm Photographs Burglar and Gasses Him Pittsburgh.--A new burglar alarm, which photographs an intruder and renders him li^lpless with tear gas while police a«> speeding to the scene of the robbery has been invented here. Doubled "Dick Dead-Eye" by Its inventor, Dr. Phillips Thomas, research worker at the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, the new device is based on the principle of the "electric eye," or photo electric cell. Beams of invisible light rays, infrared, or ultra-violet, rays, are thrown across doorways and windows and in a -criss-cross fashion across a room. They establish circuits between the "electric eye" and grid glow tubes. Any interruption of the light beams, as by a human body, breaks the circuit and sounds the alarm. It may be either an audible alarm, or it may be carried by wires to the nearest police station. At the same time," lights of the room may be flashed on, a photograph of the burglar taken, and a flood of tear gas released by the same device. Doctor Thomas, in demonstrating with himself as the "burglar," omitted the tear gas; OUTDOOR MEALS, . • , As the picnic days are here again, we turn to our lists of good things which we have enjoyed and plan a picnic lunch. Those who find some foods hard to digest will enjoy them and have no discomfort when eaten out of doors after a brisk KrQpQltf hike, or even a stroll through the woods. When packing a lunch, remember to put in some of the foods that add sest such as g^een onions, fresh radishes, cucumbers and a few pickles, sweet and bout. Pickled beets, onions, cauliflower, mustard pickles, chowchow, are all relishes which are en- Joyed with the other food. The sandwiches may be cut and made Just before serving, with lettuce, a slice of cucumber and onion, as Ailing. Baked bean sandwiches are . always enjoyed for a hearty meal. Serve theSl with sliced sour pickle. Most picnic lunches are made np of starchy and sugar foods. Some of these are needed but the alkaline foods will be needed or headaches and Indigestion will result Fruits, green vegetables, celery, tomatoes, all are good to combine with the sandwiches, rolls and cakes. Meats are acid forming foods and Should be used sparingly. With the crisp lettuce carried In a towel, well wrapped, add sliced oranges or tomatoes or apples and serve with a french dressing all prepared and carried 1b a tight jar or bottle. With all the disadvantages, snakes, mosquitoes, poison ivy, the more we go on picnics, the more we learn what to avoid and the mora pleasure w« get from them. Where there is a stream of clear water or a spring, all the green things may be kept coo. and fresh as if taken from a refrigerator at home. Much can be said of the sunshine, the glorious out of doors, green trees, grass and flowers, sun baths, swimming, games and Just loafing when you picnic. They all outweigh the discomforts, which upset stomachs and disturb the "regular routine, lltiu 7>W Famoiu WUkiiig Bridge Razed Despite Protest Charleston, W. Va.--The famous Caldwell covered bridge at Caldwell, known as the "wishing bridge," was destroyed recently over the protests of Daughters of the American Revolution and other state organizations. The bridge was found unsafe and ordered dynamited. The structure was built in 1814 although the wooden superstructure was added in 1871. It was called the "wishing bridge" because wishes of people who held their breath while Crossing it were supposed to come true. Protests of the D. A. R. and numer ous other organisations against proposed destruction of other covered bridges are being considered. Farmers Round Up Pack of Wild Dogs •llentown, Pa.--Farmers in Center Valley, near here, started a round-up of a pack of wild dogs, blamed for destruction of many chickens in the valley for several years. The pack also is accused of killing lambs, several calves, rabbits and pheasants. Veterinarians believed the pack, reported growing steadily, was a "throwback" from dogs which had escaped from their owners and which bad become "wolfish" when freed Iras human control. < TALES..

STATUES I S T . C H A R L E S of the By Ed i t h a L. Watson The Cheyenne A band of Cheyenne in roll panoplj most have been one of the finest s i g h t s of t h e |p}alae. (We <5»n Imagine ' them as they rode along: w ar • bonnet ted, armed with their deadly bows and arrows, lances, and stone-headed clubs, carrying circular b u f f a l o - h l d e shields, and above all, every part of their outfit, even to hoods on the ponies' heads, richly ornamented with beading, quill work, and feathers. A Cheyenne village, too, must have been interesting, for the conical tlpis were painted with scenes of battle or the chase. There were large herds of horses, kept nearby for fear of raiding enemies--and this was a perfectly legitimate fear, as no doubt most of these very horses had been acquired by the same method. Although typical of the plains tribes, the Cheyenne were not always horse- Indians, hunters of buffalo. It is said that they once lived in Minnesota and on the Missouri river, where they were an agricultural people and made pottery. The Chippewa, however, began to press the Sioux, their neighbors, westward, and the Sioux crowded the Cheyennes until finally they found themselves upon the plains, and adapted their Uvea 'to the changed environment The travois aided them in their travels: a network lasbed on two poles, which were tied to a pony and dragged behind on the ground. And when rivers must be crossed, the "bulI-boatM of buffalo hide stretched on a frame, proved practicable. From this it will be seen that the Cheyenne were a versatile race, who found means of doing what necessity dictated. Now, however, a change came upon them. Drifting west and south, they came to a fork of the Platte river, in South Dakota, where they settled. Perhaps, had they stayed there, they might have cast back into their past, and brought fourth the old arts of agriculture and pottery making, to modify the nomatiicr hunting life they had adopted. In 1832, however^ Bent's fort was established on the Arkansas river in Colorado, and a large part of the tribe decided to move into the vicinity of the. new fort. This ended the tribe as a whole, as It split definitely by treaty, and became the Northern and the Southern Cheyenne. The character of these people, to this day, Is proud, contentious, and brave to desperation, and the division of the tribe did not mitigate their warlike tendencies in the least. The Kiowa, who resented the encroachment of the Southern Cheyenne, furnished this branch with foes for eight years, when peace was finally declared. In 1853, the Southern Cheyenne went so far as to make a raid into Mexico, but this ended disastrously, as they lost all but three men of the war party. They kept a prominent place in border warfare, and this caused constant loss among their warriors. The Chivlngton massacre and a battle with Custer In 1868 further weakened them, and after the outbreak of the southern tribes in 1874-5, they surrendered, and were placed on a reservation in Oklahoma. In 1901-2 the lands of the Southern Cheyenne were allotted In severalty, and they ire now American citizens. It is said that they are decreasing In numbers; peace evidently does not agree with them. The Northern Cheyenne have had almost as eventful an existence. They joined with the Sioux under Sitting Bull, and were active In Custer's last fight. Later in the same year, another battle with the whites under Mackenzie caused them to surrender. They were sent to the reservation In Oklahoma, but they were unhappy there. The "fighting Cheyennes" were not fond of peace, although bound to observe it, and, too, that part of the country was Btrange to them. They made several attempts to escape; in the winter of 1878 a band composed of some 98 men and 146 women and children made a desperate effprt to get away. They were pursued almost to the Dakota border, and In the fight lost about 40, mostly warriors, including one of their leaders. The captured runaways were taken to Fort Robinson, Nebraska, and here they made a second attempt, in which 32 more of their people were killed. Little Wolf, one of the leaders of this enterprise, managed to get away and about 60 of the Northern Cheyenne followed him. They were never content with their Oklahoma homes. Let the Southern«" part of the tribe accept them--the Northern division would still fight After much nnrest they were finally moved to their present home in Montana, where they are slowly increasing and seem to be content (Ck 1IJ1, Western Newspaper Unloa.) While many people believe that the Indians originated In Asia, there are others who claim them to be the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, or descendants of a Welsh colony, or from Greece, China, Japan, Phoenicia, Ireland, Polynesia, or Australasia. Their real origin is (till in doubt One of the important features of the "HZ" celebration to be held next year in St Charles will be the unveiling of the heroic bronze figure* for the St Charles bridge. The idea for the statues was suggested by Lester Norris of St. Charles over a year ago. Design# for the figures have been' submitted by the young Elgin sculptor, Trygve Rovelstad, and approved by Albert M. Wolff, a member of the firm of Wolff, Sexton, Harper & Trueax, as well as secretary to Mr. Baker of St Charles. The proposed statue for' the north side of the bridge is that of an Indian chief, standing with face to the east, gazing toward the land of the rising sun from which a race of man-like Gods--the pale face--have come. He holds in his hand the symbolic peace pipe. At his feet crouches the form of an Indian youth with fishing net in hind. On the other side of the bridge, facing the north, stands the French voyageur, clad in buckskin, fringed leggings, moccasins, and coonskin headpiece. He is a tree pionear aad •cent, • symbol of that hardy taee of men who have paved th« way for civilisation, exploring and settling for a time in the valleys surrounding the beautiful Pox. The rivers of this new land were his only highways at that time, and his friendly attitude toward the Indians was all that permitted him to earn a living and to live at peace with the red man. Mir. Rovelstad, in addition to preparing the designs for the figures proposed for the bridge, is also at present finishing the model for the pioneer group to be erected in commemoration of Elgin's one hundredth anniversary in 1935 He also has under way a winged figure to represent aviation, inspired by the legend cf Daedalus and the first flight of man --a memorial which is soon to be proposed as a memorial to the met* of the "Blue Streak" plane of the Chicago Daily News, of whom the late Richard Peck was an outstanding figure.
