Beautiful Rivers Have
Most Appropriate Names
Cimarron is the adorning name of
a sandy river in the Southwest made
up of sparkling rivulets of clear wa
ter. In some portions of its course
you can barely be submerged by lying
down in it. The word “Cimarron" is
Spanish and means “wild.” It takes
a cloudburst to make it so. Another
stream of the plains, farther north
with a name that is in itself a picture
is tin- Smoky Hill river in Kansas.
The Forty-niners traveling in their
wagon trains across the vast level
steppes of North America saw it amid
low hills of hazy blue and christened
it picturesquely with a title fitter than
any other that could have come to
rlieir thought. The Smoky Hill is like
tlie Cimarron, flowing shallow over
yellow sands.
These rivers of the plains bear
names that charm—some of them of
Indian origin: The Washita and
Kiainichi in Oklahoma; the Niobrara
snd Nemaha in Nebraska; theChevenne
and Pembina of the Dakotas. There
are rivers that betoken the early pres
ence of Canadian trappers, Marias des
Cygnes (marsh of the Swans) in Kan
sas, the Brule in Nebraska; others
with quaint pioneer cognomens, such
as the Gray Bull and Wild Horse in
Wyoming, Purgatory and Black Squir
rel in Colorado. All these give us that
flavor of the wilds which the fancy
makes so charming.—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
TELL ’EM AND SELL ’EM
“TIN HAT” MAN ASKS
PAYMENT FROM U. S.
British War Inventors Await
Fate of Claims.
Washington.—A report on whether
British inventors are entitled to ap
proximately $2,MX),000 for "tin hats’”
and other equipment used by American
soldiers and sailors during the World
war is being prepared by a connuis
sior of American military men, diplo
mats and legalists.
Testimony, gathered by the com
mission during recent sessions in Lon
don, will be the basis of the report,
which is to be submitted to Secretary
of War Hurley soon. If Hurley ap
proves. he will recommend payment
to congress. If that body acts favor
ably, the claims will be added to Amer
ica’s already staggering war bill.
“Tin hats” are one of the principal
items. The headgear adopted by the
United States army was Invented by
an Englishman, John L. Brodie. Mil
lions of these hats were used. Brodie’s
efforts to obtain royalties under the
American patent failed, but he is ask
ing remuneration for the hats pur
chased from Great Britain.
Other war equipment for which
British inventors are seeking compen
sation includes a device for throwing
depth charges from submarines, an
“aid to the spotter” for submarines,
a depth-charge laying apparatus and
certain secret codes.
The commission for adjustment of
British claims was appointed by Hur
ley last July. It included Lleut.-Co).
Joseph I. McMullen, chairman; Assist
ant Attorney-General Charles B. Itiigg,
legal adviser; Assistant Secretary of
State Harvey H. Bundy and Lieut.
Com. Robert A. Lavender, U. S.
N. Bruce McMullen, son of Colonel
McMullen, acted as attorney for the
United States.
Girl Proffers Feathers
as College Tuition Fee
Bloomington, 111. —Duck feathers, fox
pelts, farm produce and even live
stock comprised tuition fees offered
by students entering Illinois Wesleyan
university when it opened for the fall
term recently.
Nate Crabtree, business manager of
the school, said the offer of the duck
feathers came from a gril in Missouri.
Ilor father, lie said, owned a duck
farm.
Unusual ‘fees” were offered as a re
sult of au announcement by the school
authorities that they would accept
farm produce in lieu of cash because
of economic conditions. The produce
was to be accepted as prices ranging
from 5 to 20 per cent above the mar
ket quotations.
Approximately 25 students took ad
vantage of the school's offer. As n
result the university now has stored
in local warehouses and elevators an
abundance of potatoes, corn, wheat,
oats and other staple products. The
university plans to sell them when the
market is more opportune.
Swedish Police May Use
Movies in Riot Trials
Stockholm.-—The police here arc
seriously thinking of using moving pic
tu re cameras during public dislur
buncos to help them gain convictions
Stills taken during political riots and
the like, have often been produced to
court as evidence to show some per
son or persons in the net of slum
throwing. The trouble with stills
however, is that although a prism,
may he shown with a stone in his
hand, there is no actual proof that Ihe
stone was thrown by that perstui. A
moving picture camera would rceoid
every movement of the throwing, or
as the ease may he the striking of a
blow. Experts are working oji a onto
era of the baby type which can be
carried easily, worked easily, and op
eratod from a distance. \

age. He was heavily fined.

Stock Boom Brings
Out Hoarded Cash
Gary, Ind.—The stock market
boom is lifting hoarded cash from
caches) here. Proofs offered by W.
W. Gasser, president of the Gary
State bank, in pointing out that
money from his own safety deposit
boxes is being taken out and placed
in the stock market.
Gasser recalled a recent instance
when a patron placed SI,OOO in gold
coin, somewhat oxidized from long
storage, on the counter in exchange
for industrial stocks.
Increasing quantities of the old
“brick size” hank notes of SSO and
SIOO denominations are turning up.

Gasser said he was of the firm
opinion that the "dehoarding” symp
toms were genuine omens for a
gradual return of “good times.”
