That human bctpgs upon our own
planet Will never Nbe able 90 conn
municate with the planet Mars Is
the theory Of Henry Meier. profess
sor at Centre College. pauville Ky,
who is visiting his daughter, Mrs.
Roy V Lewis, OF 2252 East Eighth
street here.
Doctor Meier was the first
Instructor in astronomy at Uuiver-
sity Of oklahoma. leaving there in
1911 II was he, who, in 1911, first
discovered Halley's comet In the
west, while searching for II with a
4 = Inch telescope at the University
of oklahoma.
As TO the attempts to get in touch
with Mars. Dr Meier goes into de-
tail To- explain why he does not be-
iIeve that any person now living can
ever succeed. lie says in part:
"The question whether the planet
Mars ~ Inhabited to intelligent be-
ings. similar in structure and
capacity to the human beings ot our
own planet. and stil further
whether Mars Is now really inhibited
by such people has for a number Of
years been constantly in the minds
OF the public,
Since the manufacture OF the
powerful electric arc lights with
their parabolic reflectors and the
wide spread use OF the radio, which
sends forth wave messages to sta
tions over ten thousand miles away,
new and more pressing question is
heard and discussed, and that IL,
whether communication with Mars
through signals. either by means OF
light or by the wireless radio
telegraDhy is possible.
"Whenever the planet Mars IS I'm
opposition, that Is, when Mars as
seen from the earth ~ in the OPP
posite direction from the sun, we
are nearer TO Mars than at any other
time. Today Mars is about eighty
two million miles away from the
earth. About every fifteen 70 sew
enteen years this distance at op-
position is reduced to S5,OOO,OOO
miles.
Discussions pro and con sum
themselves up 10 three quest Ions:
/. Is the planet Mars inhabited
by intelligent beings?
"2. IL so, could we signal 10 them
by means OF powerful arc lights?
"3. Could we communicate with
them by the use OF wireless tele-
graphy?
MY object I'm commenting UPON
this subject is simply 70 give some
facts, and TO state some existing
conditions and restrictions pertain
Ing TO each OF the three questions.
First, IL Mars inhabited ana II so
are its Inhabitants created and en-
duwcd similarly TO usP

STOMP DANCE AT

ShaWnces Entertained
1900 Indians of Other
Tribes
LASTED THREE DAYS
Aboriginal Grounds Near
Spiebuck Farm, Scene of
Tribal Dances
Special to The World.


COLLTNSVILLE, Sept. THE
annual Shawnee Indian stomp dance
which was held on Sunday Monday
and Tuesday at the George Spiebcck
place, two miles southeast of Sperry
came TO n close with the final big
dance early Wednesday morning.
The Shawnees have been in the
habit of gathering at this one place
once a year for the last 80 years and
holding dance, sometimes lasting
n fortnight and other times only a
few days as was the case this year.
Although the Shawnecs put II on,
anyone can take part in the dane
ing but the leaders must be full
blood Shawnees.
The first dance OF the day Is the
war dance. The Indian bucks get in
the ring all decked out in their ma
tive costumes which they discarded
for that OF the white man years ago.
They dance around the big camp
fire 10 the beating OF the tom-tom,
which Is no more than a piece of
buckskin stretched over n keg. The
one beating the tom-tom has two
others at his side who keep time
with a pair of rattlers. These three
chant an Indian song throughout
the dance.
In the evening Just after dark
the other dance starts. An old In
dian attired in fun costume gets in
the circle and sings an entire
song in Shawnee. Then the squaws
and girls gather in a circle and
start dancing. It ia easy TO disun-
guish the older ones from the girls
by simply the movement OF their
feet, as the older, more experienced
ones move about with ease and
grace.
When the squaws have gone
around the fire about twice, the
bucks come out and begin 10 sing
and dance. After this they take hold
of hands and begin winding around
and around until they become so
tangled up that IT is necessary to
stop. Dance after dance continues
until all the spectators have gone.
Indians come from all over the
northeastern part of the state TO at
tend and take part In the dance.
camping on the grounds in the
meantime. There were about 1900
spectators there on each night.
