THE HORN AND THE PEDESTRIAN As glad to see in your issue of Sepamber 22 an item voicing an idea h I have long entertained, which is the automobile horn is out of its er sphere when used to warn pedesis to get out of the way; ccording to all law and precedent, on and land, it is the duty of the stronger ke care of the weaker. ntil the automobile made its appearthere was never a question but that pedestrian had the right of way on the t. Why should this law be nullified, at such a cost? hen the autoist sounds his horn for >edestrian to clear the way, he is doing isely what the ancient kings used to hen they sent their criers before them, ting, "Make way, make way for his esty," and enforcing their demands whip or staff. The autoist doesn't his crier before him, but he sounds horn and merely kills or maims those are not active enough to get out of vay. The principal use of the horn, it seems e, should be to signal other cars. If autoist is about to pass another vehicle g in the same direction, let him sound distinct blast; if about to turn a corner e right, let him sound two blasts. If s to turn a corner to the left, he will d three blasts, and if about to slow up op he gives four blasts. his method would, it seems to me, be a improvement over the present method ktending the hand to indicate that the ist is about to do something. Espey would this be true with closed cars, with any car when it is dark. he only thing which will stop the ghter of the innocents is to stop the of the horn to warn foot travelers to put of the way, while the autoist takes imely and adequate measures for their ty if they do not. ut the case squarely up to the autoist the foot traveler is absolutely within rights when he crosses the street, as as when, if there is no sidewalk, he As in the street. ll this is not because I am an autoile hater, for I have been driving one ost every day for the last sixteen years, find it most certainly indispensable in JOHN J.

PUBLISHERS :: NEW YORK THE BLACKFEET INDIANS WHEN we bought Glacier National Park Web Blackfeet Indians, the Gov ernment established them as cattle raisers in what remained of their reservation. Since then reports have come regularly that they were prospering. Within the last year, however, accounts of eye-witnesses disclose a condition far from prosperous. The Blackfeet have twice received from the Government the nucleus of a herd of cattle. Although their reservation has frost practically the year around, it normally affords good grazing land, and their natural instinct for cattle raising has been encouraged by the Government. The first herd of cattle was lost to them when, at the advice of the agent, the whole tribe sent both cattle and horses to winter in the eastern part of the reservation. There were neglected fences, and in the spring not one head of live stock came back. Later skins bearing their brands appeared in Chicago packing-houses. The second herd, given them somewhat later, has likewise been lost, this time because of three years' of drought followed by the severity of last winter. This sum JAPAN Today A WORLD power today, a hermit kingdom yester day! In 1848 Ronald McDonald, an American boy, cast adrift at his own request off Japan's coast and imprisoned in a temple upon landing, became the first teacher of Eng. lish in the Empire. The "Ronald McDonalds " made Japan see beyond her boundaries. Know one foreign country and know it well. See what modern Japan has to offer you in trade, travel, art, literature or other phases of human endeavor. Let us look beyond our own boundaries! The Japan Society, an Association of Americans founded in 1907, is endeavoring to make it easy for all to secure authentic information about Japan. ກ Go to your public library. Read "The Japanese Nation by Nitobe, "Modern Japan by Clarke, and "Have We a Far Eastern Policy?" by Sherrill. These books give the busy man a background of modern Japan.

Aside from cattle raising there are very ew chances for work within the confines f the reservation. The Great Northern ailroad has given jobs to approximately ne ́hundred, but there is a limit to availble work, and many of the tribe are des tute. The steadily diminishing appropriations om the Government have been inadeuate in the present acute situation. Last inter rations bought for the old and inligent Indians had to be shared with the ble-bodied, who were willing to work for em and were without other means of obining food. As a result both the old and e able suffered from hunger. It is a tedious process trying to make The Indian forsake the ways of his fathers. lis instinct for hospitality and generosity nterferes with the development of his ense of thrift. Generations of hunting nd wandering have made the Blackfoot verse to anything but cattle raising, while he climate of his reservation makes anyhing else impracticable. But at present e has no cattle. Drought left him without hay last winer, and he was ignorant how to shelter his tarving cattle from the extreme weather. hose that had survived the drought died f exposure. The tribe, left without work, ithout food, without adequate shelter, windled until there are not fifteen hunred in all three of its branches. Pneumonia, trachoma, and tuberculosis found hem without blankets, without medicines, ithout nurses. Without question, the Blackfoot needs mmediate help or this winter will be more ragic than the last. Nothing but a child efore our civilization, he is dependent on ur care and generosity. He needs blankets, ld clothes, food, medicines, and nurses. He watches the mails for gifts from his ew white friends. He needs them despertely. Three months from now will be too te, for already the first bitter frosts have eached him, and without aid he cannot urvive another winter. TE E. H. AVERY.
