RIVER TRAFFIC INCREAS-
ING ON MISSISSIPPI

CHICAGO, July 30-A resump-
ton of river traffic along Americas
chief river highway, the Mississippi
was forecast here last week with
the arrival at New Orleans of a
shipment equal to rs carloads of
freight, one of the carloads con-
tanning books.
The trip, which was made partly
by rail out of Chicago to the Miss
issippi river consumed IL days and
inquiry has revealed that this is
only the ordinary time that it has
taken numerous similar cargoes to
be carried over the, 1850 miles.
Rivefmen point out it is almost
certain that the Chicago drainage
canal which will connect Lake
Michigan with the Mississippi b. a
canal sufficient to accommodate the
largest barge now operating on in
land waters, will be completed with
in five years. They call attention
to the large amount of freight now
going south by water and freely
state that the agitation that has
brought the greater waterways
movement to the fore, has awak-
ened the public to the possibilities
of water shipment.

INDIANS
The Ceremony Is a Form
of Ancestor
Worship -

PHOENIX, Hriz., July 9O-On
the Painted Desert of nortern Ar
IONA Hopi Indians next month will
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 a Hopi rain dance. This
is not correct, according to Emery
Kopta, sculptor, who claims that
the ceremony is a form of Indian
ancestor worship. Mr.. Kopta has
been living in Walpi village for
seven years. and says the Hopis al
ways, hold their rain dances in
June and July and the snake dam
ces in August.
Describing the ceremony, Mr..
Kopta declared the dancers open
the dance bv stamping upon a
plank laid over a pit. This is in
tended to notify the dead that the
ceremony has begun. Between 100
and $50 snakes are needed for the
annual dances.
Out OF the scores of Hopi ira
ditions, has come a story telling of
the origin of the snake dance, ac-
cording to the sculptor The ira
ditions tell of Hopi youth,
dreamer, who once set out to find
what lay beyond the far hills. He
fioated down the muddy Colorado
until he came to a land believed
to be California. There he met and
wed a maiden of a strange tribe
an dtook her back to his Hopi vii
lage.o .a, ...r. .l.
The first, children of The young
couple were snakes, and the Hops
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 declared 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 borne human children

she saw a light. 1t was shining from

Pit-pat-pit-pat, came the footsteps.
She couldn't move. The enemy had

up and busting herself off. She was

Peggy ran past to the little house
and found it all lit up. In she hurried
for the front door was wide open.
Whats happened?" she demanded
looking around.
On the sofa sat Grandfather, every
white hair on his head standing up by
itself, and even his eyebrows all ruffed
up. Dad sat on the floor with IIaur-
ence, while Emily was nowhere to be
seen.
"a pretty mess!" cried Grandfather.

Peggy had seen the little twinkle
dancing in Grandfathers eyes the
whole time and knew he wasn't really

gan smoothing him down, both his
hair and feelings, while he kept on

"I'll have to jump right Into the
fiower-bed," she sighed.
The window was so tiny that 1t was
all she could do to squeeze through
and drop noiselessly into the soft flow-
er-bed which was just beginning to
flower so nicely. The big house was
there close at hand right on the other
side of a big tree. Peggy made a rush
FOR it but, Of course, she had to cross
the bright patch of moonlight on the
lawn between. Just as she neared the
big tree she saw a shadow glide from
behind it and come straight for. her.
This was awful! Somebody was
lurking there between her and the big
house where the family were. She
might have screamed but there was a
tiny new baby brother In the house and
she didn't want to scare him and
Mother unless there was nothing else
she could do.
"I'll race down the driveway to the
side door," she thought. And race she
did. When she reached the side door
she heard footsteps following her. 1t
was awfully dark there. Before any
body could get the door open she
might be bounced upon and dragged
away. She left the door and began to
run.
Just where she was going she didn't
know. The sidewalk was shaded by
the new leaves overhead on the
