THANKSGIVING TO SUN-G0D
Pueblo Indians Have a Form of CeIe
bration Which in Measure Cor
responds to Ours.

Each year the Pueblo Indians who
inhabit the two-terraced. clay com
munity houses which rise tier on tier
to the height of five stories at Taos,
n. NJ, celebrate the festival of San
Geronimo day.
In the morning, races and dances
are held; and in the afternoon, Indian
clowns climb a thick pole, at the top
of which hangs a dead sheep, vege-
tables and other food The one for
tunate enough TO reach the top lowers
the provisions to his companions. To
climb this pole at all requires true In
dian agility.
The autumn festival is not so much
n tribute TO San Geronimo as thanks
giving to the bountiful sun-god for the
harvest that has been plentifully sup
piled.
A great many tourists visit Taos and
attend the picturesque ceremonies,
which are held on the last day of Sep
TENDER, says Popular Science Monthly.
There is not sufficient room to shelter
them in the primitive little town, so
they have TO travel to the adjacent
town of San Fernandez de Taos, two
and n half miles distant. Here the
canny Mexican population stages a
celebration all its own, to extract from
the travellers what loose coins they
have.

sELF.DENIAL AND yIsTORY.

What can | do to win the WARP?
tens of thousands of people are asking.
The answer given by Walter S. Gift
ford Director of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, is simple and explicit:
Practice economy"
without economy the nation can't
finance the war. We have got to save
money to buy war bonds and thrift
stamps, subscribe to the Red Cross
and support other vital war activities.
And that isn't the whole story. AL
most as important as the payment of
war expenses is the saving of ma
terials that are needed for war pur-
poses, and the freeing of factories and
workers for war industries.
THE nations resources in man
power, money, transportation, food
stuffs, raw materials and fuel haTe AZ
ready been subjected to a heavy
strain explains Mr. Clifford. 1T is
the clear duty of every citizen to
guard against increasing this strain
by single wasteful act.
IL is most creditable for every man,
woman, boy and girl to be economical
in dress. food and manner of living.
Every evidence of helpful self-denial
on the part of all at time like this
is most commendable. This war is
more than a conflict between armies;
il is a contest to which every man,
woman and child can and should rem
der assistance"
There is to be a national economy
campaign to drive the lesson home to
everybody.
1t was formerly thought that much
could be accomplished by the sup
preston of "non-essential industries"
That plan has been virtually aband-
oned because it is so had to say which
industries are essential and which are
not. The matter is now left almost
wholly TO individual Judgment Every
American. old or young, is asked to
regard himself or herself as a thrift
volunteer.
The principle to be applied is sim
pie. What is essential to one per-
son may not be essential to another
The test is. "Is it luxury to me?"
If so. cut il out.

Advocates An Appropriate Chant For
"America's Creed BY VIM. Tyler
.Page-That An Annapolitan Be
Chosen.
To the Editor of The Capital:
The article by the writers recently
published in the Capital eulogizing the
Americans Greed" compiled by Will
lam Tyler Page,of Friendship Heights,
Md. seems to have attracted SO much
favorable attention that il has been
thought not inappropriate to mention
a few of the comments noted in per
sonaI letter received from the author,
acknowledging the receipt Of a copy Of
the Capital an explanatory note. Mr..
Page writes TO me:
My Dear Friend:
Il cannot tell YOU how much | appre-
cIate your kind letter and the splendid
article you were good enough to-write
tor your local paper / do, indeed,
feel very grateful 10 you for your gem
erous expressions, but cannot help
feeling unworthy of such praise. 1t
is especially gratifying to me to have
your communication, as / have al
ways had high regard for your opin-
ion, particularly in matters literary.
when you mentioned our former
relations in connection with st. Johns
Mission at Relayand our beloved John
Charles Gray, you touched very ten
der chord in my memory; the events
of those years when we struggled to
establish a work in that part of the
Vineyard, though small and compare
lively insignificant in themselves, will
be ever dear TO my heart and source
OF pardonable pride; and l shall al
ways cling closely to the associations
then established.
You have shown such kindly inter
est in the matter of the Creed that l
may be pardoned for telling you that
throughout the country it seems to
have been well received, and accepted,
in fact, as the Nations Greed.
Again thanking you, my dear
friend for myself, Mrs. Page, and the
family, who desire to be remembered
kindlyto you and yours, believe me
Very gratefully yours,

WOMEN IN TAMMANY HALL.

For the first time in the history of
Tammany Hail. women have been ad-
mitted to that ancient and checkered
organization. At a meeting the other
day there were 30 women elected as
members of Tammanys executive
committee. Henceforth, it is an
nounced, women are to be on the same
basis as men in every Tammany dis
trict in New York City and in the
councils OF the wigwam. The organi-
cation will be divided between men
and women on an absolutely equal
numerical basis.
That first sex-equality meeting at
Tammany Hall was a pleasant occa-
sion Boss Murphy was all smiles.
His henchmen beamed affability.
Every one Of those supposedly willy
politicians did his best to make the
women feel as if they really Belonged
Their motions and speeches were list
ened to with respect. Male speakers
told them proudly of the part the or
ganization had played in the enact
ment of Legislation favorable to
women and children. An influential
leader discoursed on the working of
the party machinery.
Anybody would have thought that
Tammany had yearned always for
feminine participation in its general
scheme of humanitarian effort and
political uplifht. And no woman was
so impolite as to remind the men that
Tammany had fought woman suffrage
tooth and nail-until it became newt
able.
That's always the way. Old insti-
buttons, good or bad, generally yield
gracefully when the hour of fate
strikes. Tammany will no longer be
the same old Tammany. The tiger
won't change his stripes all at once
But we may say without hesitation
that henceforth there will be less
secrecy in that body And the women
little by little will make their influ-
ence felt along lines that practical
male politicians have ignored as long
as they could

COmmends People OF EastpOrt For
Their Noble Work In Buying War
Savings Stamps And Liberty Bonds.
To the Editor of The Capital:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to commend the peo-
pie of Eastport for the noble work
by them in the present struggle for
right and justice in which our glori-
GUS country is now engaged. The
people here for the most part have ex-
erted themselves for victory which
will soon be achieved Bonds and
War Stamps have been layishly bought
and above all many of her noble young
men have willingly gone to the front
and more are willing to do so. Among
this number are Messrs. Frazier,
Jones, Prather and Hendricks, all true
patriots. If it is possible there is a
single Stacker (Which il is hoped
there is not) he must be heartily
ashamed of his course.

EAST MAKES LITTLE CHAN aE
Methods of Agriculture About Bethle-
hem the Same How as in the
Days of Boaz.

Belt Sahur is a small village lying
eastward at the foot of the mountain
wherein is built Bethlehem, and is
what might be called it's agricultural
suburb. In the broad level valley be-
yond we see the shepherds fields
where the angels, the first Christmas
eve, appeared to men i'm the lowlieSt
walks of life. Here Boaz must have
had his fields, for they are the only
large ones near to Bethlehem suitable
for raising grain, and such as would
be In the possession of "a mighty
man of wealth." as Boaz is depicted as
being.
After threshing, the next process is
to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This is done by the aid of the gentle
breezes that usually arise during the
evening hours, no matter how warm
the summer day may have been.
The tools are very simple. A two
pronged fork, converted from a single
limb of an oak tree, is used to move
the long straw, and with this the
worker stirs the grain during the
process of treading it out. For the
winnowing a fork, also made of oak
wood, but with five fiat prongs, is
used. This is the implement referred
to as the "fan," of which we read in
sacred story. A wooden shovel also
plays its part.
In this land of no change, or at
least slow change, it is quite conceiv-
able that on and around these very
threshing floors, with the same ap-
pearance of life in olden times as now.
