American Indians KneU
Motifs of Ancient Art

Tho American Indian as an artis;
who discovered all but two geo
metric decorations, known to the
Greeks is discussed in book by J..
Walter Fewkes issued by the bu-
rcau OF American ethnology, The
book is entitled, Designs on Prehis
toric Hopt Pottery" and is Intended
as an aid or rather Incentive to the
study OF aboriginal art and an ap-
probation OF The American Indian as
an artist. Although primarily for
art schools, where decorative mo-
lives are studied IL might likewise be
OF value in public schools or
wherever attention is given to de-
signs that are purely American in
origin. our moccasined Americans
have wealth of suggestions to make

under "A higher civilization.
There IS an cver-increasirE do
mand for distinctive American
art which is being met in various
ways by our museums, Many dec
oratiVe mOtives are found In the
rich symbolism found on prehistoric
Indian pottery before IL was modi-
fled by white influence Some OF
these designs stlll survive among
the living indiana, but a much
greater and less adulterated form
persists in preh istoriC bowls and

the Indians called the lopi who
live some 70 miles east OF the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. In this
ceremony the participants In th1
dance carry live reptiles; but this
startling ceremony Ia only one OF
tho interesting things about these

They are wonderful potters. and

have had an equally honorable

sure that Ruth would never have
Hcome the lovdble character that
she did or have been accorded the
honor OF the royal line OF Judah had
she remained W.th her people in

We arc persuaded that God had a

As a Woman Thinks
BY EDITH L.. MORIARTY.
No Greek Gods Need Apply.

The man who said that the candi-
dates for the coming presidential
campaign had issued more photo
graphs of themselves than ever be-
fore in the history OF presidential
races just because the women were
going to vote, reasoning that tho wo-
men would choose their candidate by
his Apollo like features, should at
tend few political meetings where
women are being instructed and ad-
vised.
He would soon change his mind
and realize that the women are
not considering this coming election
in the light OF beauty contest. Tho
women who are leaders in suffrage
and political circles are going about
their task of educating the rest OF
womankind in a very sane and
systematic way and the women
are clamoring for Information
in order that they may act at
least normally intelligent when It is
time to go to the polls. The women
are not interested in whether a can
didate has blond or black hair. They
do not care whether his eyes are
blue or black. or whether he is tall
or short. If the candidates are is
suing Autographs OF themselves
thinking 20 impress the women and
get votes because OF their matinee
hero looks they are wasting money
and good print paper.
The intelligent women who are
preparing TO be intelligent voters
are earnest in their endeayor to fin.J'
our just what the platforms OF TIE
various candidates are. These wo-
men are asking the various candi-
dates just how they stand on various
questions which are OF paramount
importance just now. One group OF
women have prepared a question
naire which they are sending TO the
individual candidates. They are ask
ing what stand each man is taking
on the military training question, the
child labor question, the question OF
legislation to govern rent and food
pEofiteerlng and other such peril
nent issues They are going TO try
to send the men from their district
to the national conventions in Chi
CaGo and San Francisco who stand
on such issues the way they think
they should stand. They have no
thought as TO what these men may
look like and their choice for presi-
dent is going to be based on his
platform not on his manly beauty
and athletic build.
