">Iy son wants lo do all he can to help the Indians," she said. "They have no  one lo protect  them."
Bartow, or the "Great AVhite Chief!" as he is known among the Indians, has been interested for many years in their welfare, and often has contributed money to their cause, although his mother said il was only a "drop in the bucket."
One of Bartow's best friends amon.i; the Indians is Chief Robert Yellowlail at the Montana Reservation, where he sjiends most of his lime each sumnier.
Jlrs. Barlow said her son, who is a salesman the rest of the year, sincerely believes the Indians are treated unfair¬ ly.
