. 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.

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.
The federal supreme court has refused
to order a stay of sentence in
the case of Sheriff Peter Hoffman of
Cook county, Illinois, convicted of aiding
in giving special privileges to
prisoners convicted of violating the
Volstead law.
