An account of the few remaining tribes
Of the Indians of North America was
given yesterday in an interview with
Prof. G. W. Caviness, of Mexico, now
visiting Washington as delegate to
the worlds conference of Seventh-day
Adventists, at Takoma Park He said:
TT is well known that when Mexico
was discovered there were q number Of
different tribes of Indians, and. al
though most of them have amalgaxated
more or less with the Spaniards, yet
some of the tribes retain many of their
tribal characteristics.
I'm the state of Oaxaca. especially in
the Southern part. there still exists a
remnant of the Zapotecan tribe, said
to number about 100000. They are civil
lied, but retain the use Of their primi-
tive language in the family. though In
business and in the schools the Spanish
tongue ID used.
They live in villages, and the land
round about the village il held in COM
mon. Each family chooses a location
in the village and builds a house, which
is very primitive. indeed. Poles are set
In the ground at the corners and at
convenient distances apart along the
sides, and on these are placed beams
which support the matched roof made
of palm leaves. The walls, formed of
small poles and twigs interviewer, are
plastered with mud and then white
washed Usually there is no floor but
the earth. There they live; but each one
goes outside the village and chooses a
small patch of ground, which he clears
up and cultivates. This Is his as long
as he uses it, but he has no permanent
title.
People Tall and Strong.
"As rule. the people are rather tall,
strong. and well built. Since their coun-
try is in the hot lands. their clothing
is scanty and simple. The men wear
cotton trousers and shirt, go barefoot.
or, perhaps, wear sandals The women
also dress simply, though in the city
of Tehauntepec they have special cos
tune consisting of a blouse, very high
colored. which leaves the arms entirely
bare: the upper part of the skirt Is
usually Of dark color. but from the knee
down 1t Is pure white. The head dress

GROUP SYSTEM

The large growth of the member
ship of the Y. NJ C. A. during the
past year; reaching now total of
nearly 1900 has made 1t desirable
that there be much more extensive
internal organization than the ASSOC
citation previously has had A type
of work has been devised in the states
called groups and service, and at
the meeting of the board of directors
at noon today. the time was devoted
largely to a presentation OF the facts
surrounding the working Of this sys-
tenn by A. E. Larimer, secretary Of
the mems department.
Fundamentally, the scheme involves
the relating OF every man In the asso-
citation to some group In which he Is
particularly interested; for instance,
q debating club, Bible class. gym
nasium group or some other phase Of
activity. The social life of the asso-
citation would then center largely in
these groups. A congenial group with
a common interest would then become
a feature. The board OF directors dis
.cussed the matter at length; but 1t
can be seen that 1t is not plan
which can go into effect at any one
time, but that complete system
would require a matter of years to
become perfect. The directors pass
ed on the names of ~ boys and 81
men who have applied for member
ship to the association since the last
meeting.

HEART PAPERS LYING
ABOUT MEXICAN SITUATION

Washington, Aug. president
Wilson, through Secretary of State
Bryan, today branded as false the
statement published in the Hearst
morning newspapers that foreign
governments were bringing pressure
to bear on the United States to settle
the Mexican disturbance immedi-
ately.
The president issued the following
statement:
1.-The statement, which appeared
in certain of the morning papers to
the effect that European govern
ments are bringing pressure to bear
on the United States to compel ag-
gressive action in Mexico, is entirely
without foundation"
The administration is considering
making public a sharp rebUke to the
interests who are carrying on a de-
