WATER IVES FOOD

Dr. M, Q. Gilmore Learn* From In
diana of Valuable Food Supply
left Untouched.
Itismarck, N. !>. Tons of food Ht
peacefully undisturbed In the bun*
dred* of nm's'of wpter Miles through
out Hie Dulled Niuies. according to Or.
Melvln G. Gilmore, curator of the
North Dakota Historical society, who
Ik eiuruged In research work covering
North America to determine the possl
bill ties df native products.
As a result of the ftrst stage of hit
Inquiry. findings of which were pub
lished recently In the thirty-third an
nual report of the American bureau of
ethnology. Dr. Gilmore declares devel
opment of America's wild plant life
has been practically nil.
J'ln the 800 years that the whltt
man has dominated the western hemi
sphere." the scientist asserts, "he hat
not reduced to cultivation from wild
stotk a single natural species except
to bring under semi-domestlcatlon the
pecan and certain grapes of the east.*
In connection with this assertion,
Dr. Gilmore quotes tho United States
crop report for 1010 as giving a value
of $3,000,000 to crops of thl? country
alono grown from plauts first brought
under cultivation by the Indians.
He sees the greatest possibilities for
advancement In tills direction In wild
fruits, nuts and roots. An Instance IS
found In tho "Nelumbo" type of water
Illy flourishing largely In the ponds of
the east and central west. The seeds
and the tubers of this species are
good food, Dr. CJIIinore declares, and
make good stew when used with meat,
particularly beef. Such stew was orig
inally concocted by the Ir.dlnns, as
were many other dishes which, It Is
said, could be economically adopted
today. . /. ?
"These uses of wild plants are no
longer experimental." the Investigator
says. "We could iiave learned all
about them from the Indians, but we
didn't go to them and Inquire.
"I have spent a number of years
among them trying to learn more of
their habits of domostlcatton rind mean
to continue the work while the older
of the tribesmen still live to hand
down these lessons.".
BONES IN "BLUEBEARD" HOME
Pari. Police Say Wife and Childron
Aided in Alleged Slayer's
Crimes.'
Paris.?Police officials Investigating
charges against IlenrI Landru, the al
leged "bluebeard," who Is accused of
slaying a number of women and de
stroying their bodies, claim to have
found about fifteen pounds of human
bones In a house where he lived.
Among the bones was a skull In a
good state of preservation. Some of
the bones had been cut with a saw,
the teeth of which left peculiar marks
which were easily recognizable. It Is
said the saw has been found and that
marks*made by Its teeth coincide with
those found on the bone fragments.
Inquiry as to the operations of Lan
dru's wife, says the Eclair, shows that
she was a "devoted accomplice" of her
husband and "knew of everything he
did." It Is also charged their children
aided in disposing of property secured
by Landru in the course of hit al
leged crimes.
