STEALING LAID TO LUXURIES Surety Company Head Saya Many Steal to Bay Automobiles When people begin competing with one another beyond their moans, something is bound to happen and-the dcsiro for luxury is oHe of the pri&T olpal causes of thefts, according to K. J. McGinn, manager of the claim department of the American Surety company, who has made a public report of the claims againat the company. "Defalcations by employees handling money and securities are on the increase," he said. "Today the desire to own an automobile lies at the bottom of the speculations of many employees. It is not always the joyrider who steals, either. It is often the young married man whose wife insists on having a car in addition to ? fur coat, platinum jewelry and all the other luxuries of modern life." And so it is asserted that the progress of modern civilization exacts its toll in the form of lowered morale on the part of the average employee, that the standard of honesty has been lowered, that the average employee, knowing that his employer is insured against speculations, proceeds on his embezzling way with the comforting thought that only the insurance company can lose and that it can well afford the loss. Let us trust that this is more apparent than true. It is a dangerous philosophy againat which all should be guarded.?-The Knoxville Sentinel. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Prof. A. L.

FLORIDA INDIANS Still Unconquered, Bat Slowly Dying Out, Says Writer The remnant of a still unconquer? 1)1 e tribe of Indians lire in Florida, far from the beaten path of civilisation. . They are the unconquered Seminole Indians, lords of the Everglades, who are making their last stand against the ewift advance of the white man. This is the saime tribe that once, under the leadership of the wily chief Osceola, staved off defeat by all the military forces of the United States. But now they are vanishing. They are said to be the victims of their refusal to assimilate the new life of America. These Indians in their native country go about their daily life as they have done since long before the white man set foot on the shores of America. The tribe is governed by John Osceola, son of the old war chief. He is said to be as crafty as his old father and governs with an iron hand, yet with wisdom. The tribe lives in small "villages" or camps. These villages are moved about every six months, or about as often as the game moves. Their sole occupations are hunting, fishing and moving. They have crude wagons and oxen for moving purposes. The men ride in I fc 4MM In ,71 fcMBB state, while the women trudge along and wield the ox-whips. They worship only the green corn. Green corn is also their symbol of faith. They always erect a pole in the center of catmptian^ tie up on it an ear of green corn. Their only religious festival is the Feast of the Green Corn, held annually in June. During this feast the young Indian males take their mates. Ttye Seminoles are not lilde the Indians that once roamed the West. They resemble the Orientals closely. The men wear their hair cropped close and the women wear theirs done up after the fashion of the Japanese women. They also have the childish delight in the many-colored garments that the Orientals have. Their grudges are everlasting. They have never forgotten the capture of Chief Osceola by General Winfield Scott in the early 50s. General Scott tricked the old chief into prison at St. Augustine on, a promise of immunity if he would go there to discuss terms of peace.?The Pathfinder.
