The career of Mrs. Almert is
unusual. She never had shot
gun in her hands until the latter
part of May. In less than two
months she was champion.
In the Grand American handi-
cap meet, when she helped the
Chicago Diana club win the wom-
ans team championship, she
broke 25 straight birds, then 81
of the next %. Later in a private
club shoot she broke 25 straight.
then 23 of the next %.
In the past six weeks she has
twice beaten l.. B. Clarke, Grand
American champion. She has won
two club trophies and a cup Of
fered by the .Sportsmen' club.
Mrs. Almert says she took up
trapshooting to find an outdoor
sport she could enjoy with her
husband and children. Mr.. and
Mrs. Almert shot at a club where
there is a sand pile in which their
children play while a target event
is being held.

opposite of their intended meaning.
thus lending TO an otherwise solemn
performance an aspect of buffoonery.
While the activities just described
seem to have had no object beyond
the exhibition OF the performers su-
pernatural power. the dance OF the
Mandan Buffalo Women's society was
intimately connected with tribal well
fare. Whenever the supply OF buffalo
had failed and the village was threat
ened with famine, the members of this
organization were called upon to exc
cute their dance In order to attract
the herds. According TO an early OBJ
server. they never failed. for they
simply never ceased dancing till buff
falo had been sighted. Prince Maxi
milan of Wied-Neuwied gives good
first-hand account of a performance
, witnessed by him in the early thirties
OF the last century. There were two
men acting as musicians, with rattles
and drums. one OF them holding gun.
The leader was an elderly woman
wrapped in the skin of an albino buff
faio COW.
The Mandan okipa represents
again wholly different type OF dance.
1t was the great several days annual
festival that corresponded to the sun
dance OF neighborirg people. Osten-
sibly 1t was a cOmmemoration OF the
subsistence of the deluge recorded in
native mythology. and some of the i'm
pOrtant characters of the myth were
impersonated by performers. On the
other hand, there was great deal be-
sides. A marked dramatic feature
was supplied by numerous mummers
representing animals and closely
mimicking their peculiarities. Prom
inent among these were buffalo mas
queraders who initiated the wallowing
of the animals represented and whose
actions were expected to entice the
game to the village. Many tribesmen
voluntarily submitted to torture
The wide scope of activities en-
braced by the dances of our native
American population makes perhaps
the main point Of interest over and
above all special features. For what
must strike every observer OF primi-
tive cultures most forcibly is that
things which we consider quite dis
tinct, men of ruder civilization join.
Thus the stars are to US a subject OF
purely scientific study. but even our
ancestors invested them with all sorts
of mystical properties, and the North
American indian personifies them and
Identifies them with the heroes Of his
folk-tales Thus. too. we hav, orna-
mental designs and often do not give
them any symbolic Interpretation
Primitive man is indeed less given to
symbolism than perhaps has been sup
posed; nevertheless his tendency to
invest a geometrical pattern with
meaning remains greater than our
own. So dancing. which to US Is
merely a form of amusement and exer-
else, becomes in primitive communi-
ties an important social function, an
opportunity -or sleight-ofhand per-
formances. for religious ritualism, and

phere of supreme holiness
