The recent death of Major General Hugh L. Scott, famed Indian fighter, disturbed scientists into believing that the last white man to understand the Indian sign language had passed. The white-haired soldier, long a friend of the redmen, compiled a dictionary of symbols in the sign method of commonleations em- ployed for centuries between the tribes on the continent. With the sign language fast falling into disuse, Smithsonian Institution ethnologists are seeking to retain knowledge of it by sending »d aged Blackfoot Indlan, Richard Sanderville, to Washington, DC. to complete, Scott's labours.
