HOP| INDIANS WILL HOLD SNAKE DANCE.
Thousands of Tourists An nualIy Attend This Unique
 Feature in Arizona

Phoneix. Arlz., August 13.-on the painted desert of northern Arizona, Hopi Indians will soon hold their noted snake dances, which annually attract thousands of tourists. This year the dances will be held in the villages of Walpi and Mishongnovi
 Most people believe the snake dance is Hopi rain dance. This is not correct, according to Emry Kop- ta, sculptor, who claims that the ceremony is a form of Indian ances- tor worship. MT Kopta has been living in Walpi villages for seven years, and says the Hopis always hold their rain dances in June and July and the snake dances in August. Describing the ceremony, Mir Kup- ta declared the dancers open the dance by stamping upon a plank laid over a pit. This is Intended to notify the dead that the ceremony has be- gun. Between 100 and 150 snakes are needed for the annual dances
 Origin of Dance
 Out of the scores of Hopi tradi- tions has come story telling of. the origin of the snake dance according to the sculptor. The traditions tell of Hopi youth, a dreamer, who cnce set out to find what lay beyond the far hills. He floated down the mud dy Colorado until he came to a iand believed to be California. There he met and wed a maiden of a strange tribe and took her back to his Hopi village.
 The first children of the young couple were snakes. and the Hopis expelled the two from the village. Then the crops failed, the Indians suffered from starvation and the old village priest said the trouble was brought On by the expulsion He de- clared rain would not fall or crops mature until the couple was brought back
 Acting on the priests advice the Indians searched the deserts for the two, and eventually found them. After leaving the village, the woman had born human children, and hese were hrough- back. But the snake children had glided off into the des- ert.
 In celebration of the couples re- turn, the Indians danced the first snake dance, and since the snakA children could not be found, they brought all the snakes they could find to attend the ceremonies.

cars would sell by virtue of their mechanical efficiency, their economy of operation, their easy riding qual- ities and their pleasing appearance.
