DANCE WITH SQU|RM|NG
RAHLERS IN MOUTHS
Miss Marion L. Oliver Gives Vivid
Description Of Hopi Indian
Ceremony.
Letter to National Geographic So
ciety Picturesquely Depicts
Weird Antics.

Miss Marion L. Oliver, daughter of
Former Assistant Secretary of War Rob-
ert Shaw Oliver, graphically describes
the weird snake dance of the Hopi In
dians in a letter to the National Geo.
graphic Society. How the priests dance
around with huge rattlers in their mouths,
in an abandon of religious frenzy: how
small boys dance with bullsnakes bigger
than themselves. and how the maidens
sprinkle the writhinz mass of serpents,
Is picturesquely told as follows:
The chief of the harvest priests first
appeared, carrying In his hand weird
wind instrument which as he swung
sounded like the angry soughing wind of
a storm Others followed. carrying rat
ties. which made the sound of falling rain
others had ears Of corn or other harvest
emblems. Suddenly 1 saw a priest as
cending the ladder leading from the snake
kiva- He was covered with a long coat.
and carried a great bag. the contents Of
which writhed and wriggled. He deposit
ed his bag Of snakes under the tepeelike
altar. Just as the rays of the setting sun
struck the top rung of the ladder sew
eral wild figures emerged Now the cere-
mony began. Crossing hands, they swayed
from east to west with eyes half closed.
After about twenty motions they burst
into deep-voiced chant. Soon some of
the priests began to look half hypnotiZed,
and sang with their eyes fixed and heads

Maidens Sprinkle Sacred Meal.

"A group of Hopi maidens now enter
ed. The priests then threw all the
snakes on the ground in a great squirm-
ing mass at their feet, and tho maidens
sprinkled the hideous reptiles with sacred
meal. Then the priests bent down and
each seized two handfuls of snakes. and
turning ran with incredible swiftness out
of the plaza down to the desert, where.
with a parting message to their spirit
brothers, they left them.
Il rode back to camp very silent, the
whole thing leaving me rather dazed. 1t
seemed weird. SO unreal. and yet the
knowledge that the dance was the cul-
mination Of sixteen days Of fasting and
prayer. and the intense religious attitude
Of both priests and people, impressed me
more than l was willing to admit. How
was 1t that the poison of the snakes had
no effect on the dancers? l asked many
the solution of this problem. and their
answers were always the same. We don't
know: all We know is. If any trader or
sheepherder is bitten by a rattler. If
We can get him to the snake priests he Is
always saved. The cure, whether drug,
herb or Incarnation. is kept secret. and
the snake clan guard it as a sacred trust,
never to be divulged under any condi-
tionS.'"

Squirming Snakes in Mouths.

Suddenly the singing stopped and the
only every other priest had his hand on
the shoulder Of the one in front of him
and in the other hand carried a wand of
eagle feathers. Around they went. around
the plaza, with funny housekeeping
motion. AS they passed the altar they
paused and stamped twice on a board
that was over a hole to awaken the
spirits to hear their prayers. The second
time the priests passed the altar l saw
them pause, but only when they had
turned facing me did l realize the horror.
Every other man had a squirming live
rattlesnake in his mouth! The snakes
were curling themselves into all kinds
of horrible shapes. and their evil heads
went darting this way and that. l saw
one rattler strike a man just under the
ear. He had to pull it loose, but took
and seemed none the worse for it.
Now | saw the reason for the second
priests with feather wands. Their duty
was to soothe the snake by stroking it
with the feathers and to guide the
snake-carrying priest, who often looked
as if he were in a trance. The snakes
would hiss and try to coil and strike. but
the tickling of the feathers would make
them uncoil. and the priests would pick
them up with about as much concern as
most people would pick up rope. Two
of the snake priests were little boys who
could not have been more than eight
wears old. One of them danced with
bull snake bigger than himself. which
he had to hold with both hands as well
as his teeth to prevent 1t from getting

How To Grow Long,
Beautiful Hair
BY a Hair Specialist,

1t is not hard to stop the hair. from
falling out and promote its growth II
the right means are used. There Is no
hope for the scalp where the hair roots
are dead and the scalp is shiny. How
ever. to those who have not reached
this condition, immediate steps should
be taken to stop it before 1t Is too
late. Here is a simple recipe which
YOU can make at home, that will stop
the hair from falling out, promote its
growth and eradicate scalp eruptions
and scalp humors. ! know of cases
where the hair has grown from four
10 five inches In few months after
using this simple recipe: To a half
pint OF water add ! or bay rum,
small box of Barbo Compound and a
or of glycerine and apply to the hair,
rubbing with the finger tips, two or
three times a week. These ingredients
can be obtained at any drug store at
very little cost and mixed at home. This
recipe not only promotes the growth
of the hair but darkens streaked faded
