g-- = Indian Tribal 1 Confer i ?Greatest Gathering of Tribes in Eighty Years. Washington.?More than 400 Indians, representing some 40.000 fellow tribesmen in five states, have returned to native tepees, sod huts and prairie homes after one of the largest Indian powwows held In this country since 1ST?1. In Itapld City, S. D.. nt the foot of the Black Hills, stolid-faced tribal delegates from the North and South . Ihikotas. Wyoming. Montana and Nebraska listened for four, days while otlicials of the ottice of Indian affairs 1 explained a new plan for consolidation of their lands and disposition of personal property. The delegates will report back to their tribes and meet for a second conference this year "before the snow files." Among the tribes represented at the flapid City powwow, the first of a series of such' gatherings being held throughout the Indian lands of the West, were the Sioux. Black feet. Slioshones. Rocky Boys. Crows. Amputates. Cheyennes. Wlnnebngos. Yanktons. Turtle Mountain Chlppewas, Fort Brethohls, Sisetons, and Wahpetoiis. t Favorite Hunting Ground. "The Black Hills region forms an appropriate theater for a big Indian conference, because this ' island of mountains' in the Great Plains was once a favorite hunting ground of the Red Men." says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "All of western South Dakota war at one time reserved for the Slotix Indians, whose i.Ti.000 living members comprised the largest group represented at the recent powwow. "What Indian tribe possessed this choice* game country before the white man came to America Is unknown: | hut since ttie opening of the West everd distinct tribes have occupied the region, each In turn forced out by a stronger group. In all cases those j newcomers have appeared from the i east and almost without exception the | older residents have moved farther < west. "The Crow Indians are believed to . have beet: in possession of the Black t Hills near the beginning of the Eight- , eetith century. I.nter the Poncas en- j tered the eastern portion of the high ( lands, but. finding them occupied, turned back eastward. The Cheyennes Mere the next successful Invaders from tlie east, and held the territory ( when Lewis and Clark passed in 1804. "Next came the Sioux, the last of , the Bed Men to hold this desirable region before tbe advent of the whites. The tlrst 'written' history of the coun- 1 try is a pictorial chronicle of the * Sioux on prepared skins. It records that the famous chief. Standing Bull, led a party of warriors to the hills about the time of the signing of the i American Declaration of Independence, and took back to his Plains home a little pine tree, a type of tree never seen before by his Immediate tribe. "It is a matter of tradition that the ' Cheyennes fought stubbornly to re- i tain their upland hunting grounds, but I that the Sioux finally drove them out. tbe decisive battle being fought at ' rattle mountain riea'r the present town ' of Hot Springs. 1 Explored by U. S. Army. J "The first real exploration of the Black Hills was carried out by officers < of the United States army,In 1857 and < 1851). After these expeditions, rumors 1 of the existence of gold there spread < throughout the world, and n horde of I would-be prospectors insisted that t they be permitted to seek their for t f unes In the new El Dorado.

When this became known, prospectors entered in spite of the best efforts of the United States army. After a year or two of unsuccessful attempts to eject these white Interlopers, the federal government found It necessary to take over the hills from the Indians. "The national acquisition of this land was not easy. Not only were the Black Hills a happy hunting ground, but certain areas were regarded as sacred by liie Sioux. There were plscCo rc-ScrvoJ for i ne Great Spirit, where no Indian dared hunt. To them came the medicine men to practice rites which should avert tribal disaster. It was in these hills that Sitting Bull communed with the spirits before tie incited the Sioux to resist Crook und Custer In the memorable campaign which cost the latter officer his life. "The region was thrown open for general settlement hv ('resident Grant n 187G. just 58 years ago. A turbuent frontier life developed >n t.e mining camps that sprang up.

All the evidence on iKinq inmcnies inai ine virus is irans mltted through the olfactory organ (which transmits the sense of suiell) to the brain. When the olfabtory organ was severed, even though the no sal passages of the monkeys had been subject ml to the virus, they sum-ess fully resisted the usual symptoms. Coupled with experimental data and clinical observations made by other scientists, these experiments have shown conclusively the searchers claim, that the portal of cntrj of the infantile paralysis germ la through the nasal cavities and discounts the belief that the gastrointestinal tract is the means of en Hot Dog Man Left His Friend $11,000 Danbury..

For scores of centuries, the history of literature indicates, women have been considered less stronjr. less sturdy than inen. To the feminine side of creation has been applied the term, "the weaker sex," and chivalry and manners have been predicated upon the supposition so denominated. 15ut L>r. E. V. Alien, a member of the medical staff of t lie Mayo clinic. Rochester, Minn., lias contradicted the entire notion. In a recent survey of three hundred thousand rases lie says he found facta to support his contention that mothers, wives and daughters have survival powers far in excess of those of fathers, husbands and sons. In tine, the "female of the species" is endowed with "more resistance" than the male. Doctor Allen concedes that his verdict is unorthodox. lie agrees: "Many will take exception to this statement. They will say that football players, track men. wrestlers and those who excel in feats of strength and endurance are almost uniformly males. Itut physical prowess is but the outward habiliment of physical superiority. A quality much better reflected is ability to withstand disease." Men. Doctor Allen Insists, are especially prone to succumb to functional ills. Digestive, lung, kidney and brain ailments shorten their lives. Granted that women may he ill more frequently and I at they may be more apt to complain about their troubles, there septus to he no luwuilillltv ??

Perhaps the real question is one of psychological reaction. Women may guard their health more effectively than men. Also, they are the beneficiaries of n certain protective attitude on the part of their masculine relatives. In this generation, anyway, the welfare of women is guarded, whereas men remain very much what they were a millennium ago?gamblers with fate, incessantly taking chances. It would be easy to be dogmatic, but there are so many different angles to such a problem that the philosopher will wish to avoid a definite opinion.
