Council Bluffs wanted an auditorium he
gave that thriving sister city a check for

the need OF rates for the National Corn

or the corn exposition committee that

Miss Aekroyd has this power Of facial
expression which makes her almost
ideal as a portrayer OF Indian emotions.
She can express the reserve and calm
ness Of the indian girl and her pictures
indicate this.
In her pose for the photograph used
BY The Bee, Miss Ackroyd wore a real
Sioux Indian robe, borrowed from the
Ryan collection at the public library.
This robe is valued at $50. It is twenty
four pounds in weight ana is embroid-
cred with thousands OF beads There
are few robes Of this kim in the coun-
try. The model wears her hair Indian
fashion, parted in the center and hang
ing In two braids Town her back. About
the forehead she wears a wide belt OF
colored beads. A single feather in the
hair gives a further touch OF aboriginal
custom. She looks upward. and in her
outstretehed hands are ears Of real In
dian maize.
Louis r. Bostwick is the photographer
who has brought Miss Ackroyd to the
fore on paper. In all he has taken over
800 photographs for the publicity work
in connection with the corn show.
His portrayals OF the Indian girl, as
posed by Miss Ackroyd, are perhaps the
most notable, She has posed in many
pictures, but the simple view shown in

most beautiful In rural Genes a little

Zuni offer It to fire at their fire dances,

Old Indian Tradition.
Among the American Indians there is
a tradition that the Milky Way was
formed by the Great Spirit spi,ling the
corn pollen. or meal, as he was crossing
the sky to them. A form Of this worship
is seen with the Laplanders, who sprinkle
the cows and calves with some kind of
meal, and many African tribes throw
pollen towards the sun and use II for
divinations. This practice has been trans
planted to the voodoo ceremonies of the
New Orleans negroes.
