KAMI ERUPTION DESGRIRED
T« All Outward Appearances Reserva
tion Indians Lead About tho
Same Lives ae Other Rural
Americana.
Menominee Indian Reservation, Ke-
shenu, Wls.—The Fish trull from Chi
cago to northern Wisconsin, one of
the first putomoblle trulls blazed by
wealthy sportsmen when the automo
bile was a luxury, runs through this
reservation.
This summer a Menominee Indian,
hearing that an automobile camper be
side the trail had been caught in the
rain with Inadequate shelter, removed
the tarpau'iu from h!s threshing ma
chine and offered it to the camper. No
tips were involved; it was simply an
act of courtesy.
These are the Menominees of today,
whose historical character was de
scribed in a Washington Indian service
report thus:
“A woods Indian, the Menominee
was a striking figure, generally six feet
and over in height, a giant In strength:
few in number compared with other
great tribes, their bravery and fighting
qualities enabled them to hold their
own with surrounding tribes. Their
word once given could be relied upon.”
The federal government is working
out an experiment with these modern
Menominees by trying to develop them
through tlie tribal, that is, the com
munal, land holding system, now a rar
Ity in most countries. Among most
American Indian tribes communal land
holding bus been abolished through
acts of congress allotlng the lauds.
War Veterans in Tribe.
The work among the Menominees is
under the direction of Superintendent
Edgar A. Allen of Keshena. The reser
vation in northeastern Wisconsin cov
ers un area approximately 18 by 24
miles and has a population of about
1,800 Indians, whose communal hold
ings total 231,000 acres, a large portion
of it in timber.
Superintendent Allen’s days ore full
of vuriety. One opened recently with
a request by an Indian for a carrluge
harness.
“You do not need a carriage har
ness," replied Mr. Allen. "You are op
erating a farm ami 1 am not going to
give you u requisition for something
to take you away from it.”
“But I can't farm without u har
ness.”
"You can have a harness, but you
cannot use a carriage harness for
plowing.”
Later Mr. Allen led n Decoration day
parade. The Menominees still huve
nine living Civil war veterans and 20
volunteer veterans ol' the great war.
Later in the same week Mr. Allen
took George Vaux of Philadelphia, one
of the Indian commissioners, to Inspect
the farm of a Menominee who has put
100 acres under cultivation, and 1ms
more than a dozen men working for
him, including a few whites. This
Menominee is the most successful
farmer on the reservation, the out
standing example of what the govern
ment Is trying to do. For those who
would succeed the tribal system of
land holding is a potential discourage
ment, because when the lands are al-
loted there is no assurance that an
Indian will receive that which lie lias
developed, or even as much. This
communal system furnished a fund to
help support those members of the
tribe who are helpless, or so unskillful
ns to lie unable to support themselves.
Each Indian receives all the profits of
what his own enterprise produces, but
the forest lands produce a community
fund. Tills usually Is small, the last
allotment from it having been $10 a
head n yenr.
Children Give Play.
After tlie inspection trip Mr. Vaux
and Mr. Allen attended a play given
by Indian school children.
Along with the courtesy of these
Menominees goes a marked degree of
neatness and order about their farms.
Disorder and dogs are no more appar
ent than in other communities, but
there are a few dogs with traditional
habits as night prowlers.
To all outward appearances tlie res
ervation Indians lead about tlie same
lives as other rural Americans. There
are an experimental farm, a govern
ment logging industry and houses that
for order and quiet, good taste and
upkeep are to lie highly commended.
These are the government’s examples,
either self-supporting or inexpensive,
to show tlie Indians what industry
will do.
In an ice cream parlor one evening
this summer several women were
chatting, most of them apparently
from families of small but adequate
means. The topic of conversation was
not how they could find tlielr way in
the woods, but how they were almost
lost when ever they visited Chicago.
Most Tremendous Volcanic Explosion
of History Passed Unnoticod Be
cause It Was So Far From
Centers of Civilization.
Washington.—It might be a sur
prise to many to tie told that the tire-
spitting, lava-spouting, enrtli-rocklng
volcano is one of mankind’s best
friends rather than his arch enemy,
but sm'li is tlie surlii'lslng declaration
which was explained to the confer
ence on geography of tlie National
Education association In Boston re
cently.
The most tremendous volcanic erup
tion of history, that of Mount Knttnai
in Alaska in 1012, was described in
this connection by Dr. Robert F.
Griggs, lender of several parties sent
to the scene of file cataclysm by tlie
National Geographic society, and who
discovered the valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, Katmai’s neighbor wonder of
nature.
Mankind's debt to the volcano 1ms
been move fully recognized by results
of recent researches, says a bulletin
of tlie society describing the unheavnl.
Without volcanoes, it Is now believed,
there would lie no oceans, and to vol
canoes we are indebted for carbon
dioxide, without which human life
could not exist.
Katmai Explosion Unnoticed.
Tlie explosion of Katmni, tlie con
ference was .told, was unnoticed lie-
cause it was so far from the centers
of civilization.. Ilad tlie eruption oc
curred near New York .city, tlie bul
letin declares, tlie supliurous fumes
would have polluted the air every
where east of tlie Rocky mountains;
the noise would have reverberated
like an artillery duel across the cen
tral states. The lower Hudson Itsolf
would have, been turned Into a gigan
tic tomb.
However, due to the lack of popula
tion in that far region, there was no
loss of life, and the eruption provides
scientists and geographers now one of
their greatest opportunities to study
the phenomenon of volcanic action.
Though generally unaware of tbe
eruption until long after, every .Inhab
itant of the country, and almost of the
world, felt Its effects, one of which
was the cold' damp summer of 1912.
Tills was caused by the interception
of sunlight by the long-hanglBg dust
cloud in the upper air. Even in cloud
less Sahara, It was declared, the say
was overcast.
Repeat Ice Ape.
A succession of such mighty ex
plosions could plunge the earth into
another ice uge, it is believed.
An area around Katmai, larger
than the state of Delaware, wns cov
ered that summer by more than a
foot of volcanic ash which was
enougli to destroy nil but the hardiest
of vegetation. When the explosion
occurred two cubic miles of mnterlal
were blown off the top of the moun
tain. and the present whereabouts of
tlie mountain top is still a mystery to
scientists.
GIVE BOUNTY FOR MALE BABES
—
Government of Montenegro Takes
Steps to Increase the Rapidly
Dwindling Birth Rate.
Cetln.le, Montenegro.—There has
been an alarming decrease in the
birth rate of Montenegro, due to tlie
loss during tlie war of so many of tlie
“Black Mountain’s” fighting men. The
government is offering premiums to
mofliers who bear male children. The
females now greatly outnumber the
nmjes.
Tlie Incentives offered by the gov
ernment to mothers of male children
have resulted in pathetic appeals from
the untutored peasant women to tlie
American lted Cross nurses to give
them “the medicine to make a boy.”
In Montenegro hoys are considered
much more valuable than girls, and
tlie constant prayer of the mountain
dweller is that she may be blessed
with a male child. This disparity in
tlie sexes is largely tlie outgrowth, of
the days when Turkey held dominion
over the Balknns and when the lib
erty-loving Montenegrins had an ever
present need of man to defend tlie
homeland.
In Montenegro the women do all the
work, tlie men considering manual la
bor undignified. They feel it is their
chief duty to carry firearms und
swords, talk politics and prepare for
the next war.
Mother of Five Children.
Monroe, La.—Five children were
born to Mrs. Wllllutn Preatage, wife
of a farmer of the old Floyd neigh
borhood, sixty miles northeust of
Monroe, according to word received
here. Five years ago ahe became the
mother of triplets.
