Washington.?Nearly 100,Ocjij Indum* lu the United States aro untouch*-.! l.y Christian doctrine*, the bo.ird *>t in dlan commissioners recently evil mated and remain to all intent* ami pones pagans, presumably still hold lng in large measure the beiu-f* wf j their ancestors, what th.'M* primitive Indian religious hellers are is told In a bulletin from the National Oeographlc society. "Poetic fancy und a nuturul tend ency to describe newly encountered beliefs and customs in terms of those a ready fumillur have given white peo ,pl? many false Ideas In regard to the religious beliefs of the American Indians," says the bulletin. "Some enthusiasts have pictured the typlcul red man us noble und ethical beyond his white brother, believing In a fa therly 'Ureal Spirit' und striving to live the good life that he may go after dvuth to the 'Ilappy Hunting Ground.' This Is a fallacy. Have No 8lngle Religion. "There is no single religion of the American Indians. Instead the beliefs differed widely in different sections and among different tribes. There wus, however, a general similarity of views, and these were ubout what could have been expected from people of a relatively primitive degree of culture. Nowhere does what could truly be called the conception of a 'Greut Spirit,' an overruling deity, emerge. "There were greater and lesser spirits, to be sure, but the characteristic Indian belief is in a multitude of spirits anlrautlng animals, objects and the various forces of nature. Nor were these spirits Inherently good or bad, morally. They might help or hinder the Individual In his activities or health, and whether they did the one or the other was the test of their 'goodness' Or 'badness' for him. "The primitive Indian has no conception of a hell; nor is his entry Into the spirit land dependent on his conduct. He enters It as a matter o? course, he believes, and continues there whatever activities have Interested him in this life. To some tribes tills Is a 'sUyland,' to others It Is merely a region of the eurth, 'in the west,' 'across the sea.' or 'beyond a river.' Others believe the villages of tiie dead to be near their tillages but Invisible. Bellove in Magic. "Coupled in the mind of the primitive Indian with a belief in many spirits Is a heller In magic, through which the spirits can be influenced. The wed le I tie men possessed the secrets of such magic. It was believed, ami often Interceded. All Indians believe In the possession of a Soul which leaves the body at d. nth. They also believe that It leaves ut other times, and some tribes ascribe Illness to this absence of the soul The services of the medicine man are sought to recover the missing soul. Relief In a continuing soul did not lead to an cestor worship as among Eastern peoples. "Most Indian mythologies do not concern themselves with creation; they assume the existence of the earth and deal with its peopling and with the origin of arts, customs and rites. All these are supposed to have come by a sort of revelation. "Some tribes, however, especially those of the Pacific coast region, do have a creation myth. In some it is 'Old Man Above,' In others an animal such as the coyote or ,\\te silver fox. who makes a hole in the sky, comes to earth and creates the animals and men. In some of these myths there is only water beneath the^sky, but ttife descending being creates the earth in the form of an island which grows. Morality W^r''Developed. "Moralit^ and ethics were well de veloped among American Indians. They have a strong sense of conscience and many Individuals are strikingly benevolent The tribai mo raUty was strict He who lied, failed t6 keep his promises, ot stole within the tribe was disgraced. Murder, too, was punished. War removed ethical barriers among Indians as it haa among moat people In all age#; u then became a virtue tor the ftqlan , to kill his enemies and to take their property. - "On the whole, the Indian* religious beliefs may be described as being wholly practical and as springIng from fear of the more or less hos tile -forces of nature that surround him. His various rites arose from his efforts to propitiate or to take ad vantage of these forces.** Form "Cavalry Troop" ilk China; Use Ponies Washington. ?l.acking a cavalry troop and feeling that one might b? useful, officers of the Fifteenth Unite< States Infantry, guarding part of th?

No Li'na for LittU Raatua Little Rastus wa3 on the trulu on his way to the country for the flrsi time to visit his uncle Rustus for whom he was named. % ' Uncle Rastus hitched his team up to the spring wagon und went to meet the train which arrived ln the little village after dark. After helping little Rastus Into the wagon he said: "Roy, hold dese lines til Ah gets de baggage." When Uncle Rastus hud gathered up the buggnge he was surprised to ?ee little Rustus running at breukneck speed back toward the train. Uncle Rastus exclaimed: "What ln - de name o' goodness you runnln' back to de train for?boy?" Little Rastus all out of breutb, panted: "Ah doan wanta ride in no wagon what's got Hons hitched to It." ?Everybody's Magazine. Speedwaya for Europe There Is a movement In Germany for the construction of speedways running directly from one large city to another and reserved for high-speed cars. As these roads would be used only by a limited class of drivers they cannot be built with public money. Such a scheme, to embrace Europe, has been undertaken by a society Incorporated in Italy, under the management of Engineer Prlcelll. iDeliberatlong have already taken place regarding a Hamburg-Milan route, to go via HanoVer, Thurlngia, South Germany and Switzerland. . Later lines to the Ruhr district, Berlin and Into Czechoslovakia are planned. Identified Himaelf Stories of absent-mindedness were being related In the smoking room of a transatlantic liner.

Lately I had a general checking up. The name and address of ohe man baffled me, so I wrote to him asking if ha had ever heard of me and If I was supposed to do something for him.

"I am not against A1 Smith, but 1 <io not think he can be elected President of the United iJLatea," eaid Senator (\d* Please of South Carolina, a^. he talked with u Gazette representative on the porch of the Armington hotel Saturday morning, waiting for Solicitor John <*. Carpenter to come along und take him to Clover, where the senator wan scheduled to make u talk to the Hod Men of < lover and vicinity at the big celebration there tinlay. "The people of the South will not vote for A1 Smith," he went on to nay, "but, on the other hand I do noy think the> vn > 11 vote a Republican ticket should A1 Smith be nominated. In the first place he v\il! never be nominated. Nor will McAdoo' Personally, I think liorah of Idaho, is the be-t candidate for the Di'inocrats. He is a Republican senator you know, but at heart he is as good i a Democrat as there is in the senate. "1 do not think Smith's religion lias anything to do with it?-at least it ought not to have. You never hear about anybody complaining about the tuxes the Catholics pay, do you? Or ubout them coming into a community and setting up a new business? They are all right, and all this talk about Smith being a Catholic is the bunk. "What the Democrats of the South ought to do, and I have openly advocated this, is to get together in a caucus, or convention, call it what you will, in Atlanta, Montgomery or somu big city, and make out h ticket from the South, take it to the national convention and demand recognition. The South and the Kast together could elect a President. We have just as much brains and ability in the South as they have anywhere else," said the senator. Speaking of matters closer home, Winthrop trustees did exactly right in ousting Prof. Burgin. ' *A1thottgh," he said confidentally, "the teaching of evolution and sexology h&d not much to do with it; that is what the public hears." Noting that the supreme court of South Carolina is holding in abeyance its decision on the Sunday blue laws in South Carolina, about which Governor Richards exercised himself so actively some weeks ago, Senator Blease declared: "The supreme court is a body of much wisdom and I hope they will keep both their wisdom and their decision in! that matter for a long time." The; reader can form his own conclusion from the icnatur's Sphinix like answer. There will be a special session of Congress in October, thinks Mr.! Blease. "It is necessary to have aj session to finish up much of what we ' left undone. On the filibuster 1 am prepared to adopt the same course J j followed in the last session of Con-; gress, in regard to the matter of seating Yare." It will be remembered that the senator from Stfuth1 Carolina led a successful filibuster on the question of seating Vare Blease held that he ought to be seated and his credentials examined afterwards. | Senator Blease spent the night at the Armington. "I got in here last ! night and got in touch with John 1 Carpenter and he rode me all I around town," said the senator. "1 am waiting for him now to take me down to Clover. 1 shall not talk on politics there; it is a fraternal speech I shall make there." The senator remembered with^ pleasure a t>peceh lfc delivered in J Dallas at a big Red Men meet some years ago while he was governor of1 South Carolina. j Educated Finders | M.tdge L Lwkwood, 22, of ^^8* ' ler, III., detcccd counterfeit $20 I ills hv the feel?as she worked in L the local bank. .
