We seem to be able to arouse quite
a little interest in New Mexico over
a $2,00O,OOO bond issue. Quite a num-
Der Of people seem to think it is an
important amount, at least worth on
sidering. At the same time a few
people are very busy trying to on
vince the voters that the $l'20O,0OO
derived from the state lands every
year is not worth considering at all
that it should be turned over to be
manipulated by a "non-partisan board"
composed of two office seekers from
one political party and one from an
other who can "get by" the governor.
Just why they would be mon parti-
san" has not been explained.

When Columbus landed in America
he found a strange people given al
ready to strange customs. These GUS
toms were hard to understand and
appreciate by the Europeans, but
one of the first observations they
made about the Indians was in re-
gard to their dances. Each tribe had
its own dance for some special oc-
casion and other dances for general
conditions. II a tribe was to go on
the war path, it was preceded by the
~war-dance. When the war over,
there was another dance. If there
occurred a long drought, they danced
to invoke the elements to send rain.
and SO on without end. The dance
of the Indian was a part of his real
being. On certain occasions it form
ed part of his pastime and pleasure,
but mostly it was solemn devotion
his prayer and song.
Today many of these aboriginal
people have forgotten their old ways.

some of the old dances. This is es-

TOURIST FROM FLORIDA
WITH UNIQUE CAR NOW
TOURING NEW MEXICO

Mr.. {. Ed. Carmichael, Vice Pre-
sidcut and General Manager of the
Silver Springs, a delightful tourist
pleasure resort, six miles from Ocala,
Florida, and of the Silver Springs
Transportation Company, is now tour
ing New Mexico in a very unusual,
but decidedly up-to-date motor-car
which can almost be said to have all
the conveniences of home sweet home.
The chassis of the car is heavy truck
construction, but capable Of making
p miles an hour with ease. The bo-
d. built especially for Mr.. Carmichael,
is very wide and roomy and entirely
enclosed from the dash back. The
sides are straight with windows in
them and are painted white and then
decorated with a number of attractive
paintings OF various scenes on Mr..
Carmichael's Silver Springs property.
The really unique features of the
car however. are on the inside. Along
one side wall are two clothes compart-
ments in which suits are held in place
as in a wardrobe trunk, but at night
these compartments swing forward up
on hinges at the bottom and lay flat
upon the floor OF the car, bringing
into position a full size bed, which
in the daytime is in back of the conf
partments, out of the way against
