VANISHING AMERICAN SEEMS NOT TO BE VANISHING FAST Washington, April 3.?The "vanishing American" is a myth,' officials of the Indian bureau said today. The Indian, victim-ef years of conquest and pestilence, Is reappearing on the American scene with startling rapidity. Bureau officials even expressed con-corn?because?the lnefow of tho native Americans was not accompanied by a corresponding Increase in their land and resources. Commissioner John Collier estimated that the present Indian population of the United States was 337,366 as compared with 266,000 at the turn of the century and 846,000 when the first white man first came to this country. The Indian had the advantage of a high birth rate to offset a high death rate during the years of pestilence and fighting that followed the white "invasion" of this continent. Collier said the Indian death rate still was high?13.7 per cent per 1.000 of poulation?but that it was dropping slowly because of improved living conditions. The birth rate?22.3 per cent per 1,000? remains among the highest of any poulation group in the country. Flood Victims Given Aid Here' Folks, meet Master James Howard White, two years old and a refugee from the flood and earthquake at rickon area of California. Little Jimmy is but two years old and for a youngster who has spent the past several weeks riding in a battered car from | Riverside, California, he was the j sweetest, smiliugest kid you ever looked at when he came into the Chamber of Commerce office Tuesday . afternoou. Jimmy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Howard White, late of Riverside, and hoping to locdte near Richmond, Virginia, where Mrs. Smith has relatives. The White's left Richmond last year when Mr. White, a skilled mechanic, was offered a good job in Riverside. They had been there but a month when he was laid off. They had erected a bungalow home and were living quietly on their meager bank account when the earthquake came. . Then little Jimmy was born and shortly after the flood waterB swept Riverside, compelling the family to flee with only a few clothes they had on their backs, It was,.the kindly hand of the Red Cross that helped them in their travels across the continent. At various points they were given gasolene, food and shelter. In Camden Attorney Oliver Rice, of the Red Cross chapter, provided them with five gallons of gas while a Chamber of Commerce official saw they were fed. "Reports of the earthquakes and floods out in California were toned down by a strict voluntary press censorship," said Mr. White. "No one can picture the horrors of the situation there. I recall that the papers gave the total list of drownings at the Long Beach bridge as 14, whereas the actual total to meet death when that bridge went out was over 140. On our way from Riverside in our car we had to travdl in a single lane for thirty miles. Thes lane had been dug out on the concrete highway through silt that was four to five feet deep over everything. The highway officials told us that It would take a year to remove the silt. Some of the very finest vineyards were completely obliterated by the mud and gravel that was washed in by the raging waters. "After the flood it was very difficult to get anything to eat as those who had anything to sell skyrocketed their prices which made it impossible for anyone other than thoee with means to get anything. We are deeply grateful to the Red Cross. They dijl so much to help us. In the flood area they gave freely and willingly, whereas, tho Salvation army relief groups levied a charge on everything they gave out. It was 25 cents for a blanket, 25 cents for a coat. On our way across the country we had to appeal to the Salvation army several Limes and they passed the buck to the :ity officials on each occasion. The Red Cross chapters we.ro Wonderful lo us at every place we stopped and appealed for aid." * Mrs. White, an appealing, 'wfktfulippearing woman, declared that after .he terror she went through In the earthquake and flood she 'would have eft California had it been necessary 'or her to walk and carry her baby with her. "The people who read ibout it in the papers cannot lmagne the horror of the affair. It was iwful." Mr. and Mrs, White and JixhuiJ^ Under general average conditions, 200 pounds per acre of natural soda usually gives cotton an adequate and profitable supply of nitrogen. Experienced farmers often use considerably more to good advantage, especially under the crop, but 200 pounds is doubtless safer for the average user. It should be split, however, about 50 pounds under the .150 pounds side dressing about chopping time. The side dressing is the secret of the results obtained by "money" farmers. left in the afternoon and planned to find shelter at Aberdeen that night They are looking forward to reaching Mrs. White's father's home on K. F. D. 2 out of Richmond, within a few days.
