you can’t in Sioux,
*“The Indians were too simple
{or sacrilege.
The English language probably
has some of the most tremendous
swear words ever invented by a
civilized race. But the Sioux
tongue is completely free of im
piety. There was no need for a
commandament aganst taking the
name of their God in vain. Their
Janguage doesn’t even permit it.
This is an odd truth about this
savage but once sternly moral

Indian, pledges the new mem
bers to a vow that “the Black
Hills are the best dammed place
in the world t, live.”
But the word “dammed” has to
be given in English. The Sioux
just didn’t have a word for it.
~ They are among the few peo
ple in Ristory who have been
vanquished and remain admired
'by their conquerors. Not for
‘whatwhat they have become—for
rcany have taken the white man's
vices—but for what they were.
They were originally a race
that never heard of Christ but
lived by His Golden Rule. They
have fallen upon twilight days,
and this is upon the conscience
of many good people out here
‘Who want to help them.
“At one time tney were tne
finest race on the earth” one

Memorial has the iarveq faies of
Washington, Jefferson, Teddy
Roosevelt and Lincoln. The stock

can:
“We put hp Jefferson jost to
remember what a Democrat
looked like.”
When it rins, the faces of all
recidents stream rivulets of tears.
“Lincoln can’t stand what hap.-
pened under the New Deal,”” say
the Republican tourists:
Reply the Democrats;
“Jefferson is crying over what
Republican Congress is doing to
Truman.”

that:
Talmadge- will open his cam

The National Convention dele.
gation will include many “rank

AIR FORCE
(Continued from Page One,)
1,575 Jet fighters and 909 recon
naissance, transport, training,
rescue and liaison aircraft by
1953.
Even more important, the Air
Force statement said, is that the
new appropriations will buy
“that all-important time for
which there is no substitute.”
It pointed out that the Presi
dent’s air policy commission
has set 1952 as the date when
the atom bomb secret could be
worked out by other nations.
The Air Force said this means
that 1948 is the last year in
which this nation can start
building toward a minimum
peacetime air force.
Senater Bridges (R.-N.H.), who
directed the drive for a bigger
and better sky defense, frankly
stated that the air expansion
was designed to counter Russia’s
superiority in ground forces.
The two opposing votes cast
yesterday were by Senators' Cain
(R.-Wash.) and Taylor (D.-
Idaho).
* Cain' told reporters afterward
(it was the “saddest vote I ever
cast” but explained he thought
lCongress was going too fast and
far in spending billions for arm
aments. |
Taylor, vice presidential run
ning mate of Henry A. Wallace,
said the administration already is
|“warlike enough.”

RAILROADS
(Continued From rage One)
that the office of Defense Trans
portation had -been alerted to
prepare for possible seizure.
Under a provision of 1916 law
which still is on the statutes, the
Secretary of War is authorized to
take over the vital rail supply
lines in time of war. World War
Il has not yet been declared of
ficially ended.
Meanwhile, three major mea
sures are being taken up by the
carriers in preparation for the
scheduled walkout by some 190.-
000 key workers—engineers fire
men and switchmen.
They are: Noties of embargoes
on freight shipments; notices to
non-striking rail workers of pos
sible layoffs and notices to pas
sengers of the risk invelved in
taking journeys embracing the
strike date.
Three Exemptions
Under the terms of the strike
call, only troop, milk and hos
pital trains will be operated by
members of the striking brother
hoods. But at least two carriers
said they will attempt some
operation by using supervisory
employes. These included the
Illinois Central and the Louis
ville and Nashville lines.
Generally however, the car
riers prpceeded with plans to
halt all operations in event of a
strike and sent layoff notices to
the non-striking employes. The
roads, under their contracts, are
required to give from five days
to 48 hours notice pf impending
furloughs. Some roads did not
plan to lay off shop employes as
their work would not be affected
that I had just about lost faith
in all medicines.
“l found in Retonga all I'd
been looking for, and the relief
it brought me has been very
gratifying. My appetite was soon
back like old times and 1 now
eat hearty meals without féar of
distress from acid indigestion
or sour stomach. I sleep sound at
night and get up feeling rested.
Once again I feel strong and
good. I have recommended Re
tonga to my friends and I am
glad to recommend it to others
who may be suffering as I did.”
The active ingredients of Re
tonga are purely herbal, com
bined with Vitamin B-1. Retonga
is intended to relieve distress due
to insufficient flow of digestive
juices in the stomach, loss of
appetite, borderline Vitamin B-1
deficiency, and ‘constipation. If
the first bottle failg to b"xyl:g you
relief, your money - will be
cheerfully refunded. You can get
Retonga at Crow’s Drug Store.:

'by the strike.
The Pennsylvania, the counc‘
try's lavgest caitier pi passengers
and freight, and the Baltimore
and Ohio were among the car
lriers announcing plans for a
complete layoff of workers if
the strike becames effective.
I The strike call was described
by President M. W. Clement of
the Pennsylvania as “unreasona
ble and arbitrary.” In event of
a walkout, he said, it will be
come ‘“‘physically , impossible to
operate the railroad.”
