INDIANS USE Of FEATHERS
Have an Intense Religious Significance
for All Tribes, Being Considered
Tantamount to a Prayer.

Feathers have an intense religious
significance for Indians, and are val
ued for this far more than for their
value as ornaments. To Il Hopi a
feather is tantamount to a PRAYER
and the use Of one or two feathers in
his prayers is considered sufficient to
ensure a favorable reply.
When an Indian desires something
urgently he will tie a feather to "A
stick and conceal it in a shrine which
he himself has constructed. This is
considered extremely e~fficacious.
Small, fluffy feathers dangling from
the ceilings Of huts by strings are
common sights. They represent pray
ers for trifies. Indians are always
careful to keep a stock of aye or
feathers on hand, so that they will
not be caught empty handed when an
occasion or prayer arises.

Admittedly, this may be an old
story. but it has the distinction OF
possessing a pew twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions to be divided
among an E~nglishman. an Irishman
and a Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each of the Iegatees was
to place five pounds in the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Englishman placed a five-pound
note as willed the Irishman collected
Il number of coins somehow-shillings.
siNpences and coppers-and made up
his contribution Of five pounds. which
he placed OH the Englishman's flyer.
The Scotsman then made out a check
for Is pounds and, p%ocketing the 10
pounds already deposited. threw in his
check, with the remark, That's east
err"
A month later. when the Scotsman
perused his pass book he was surprised
to find that his check had been cashed.

"The 1akimas take their name from
a derisive nickname, meaning 'runa-

they have given this name to the
Yakima river along which they live.
They call themselves 'Waptailmin,

FAR EAST FARLEY
 |S UN|MPORTANT Most Delegates Were Stu- dents-ReaI Leaders Re-
 mained at Home
By Associated Press

Moscow. March iS.-The Congress of the far eastern peoples held here under the auspices of the Third in- ternationale was regarded as of minor importance by all connected with it.
 Those attending it were for the most part students. the important leaders of the various countries staying at home and sending word that IL was useless to attend a con- ference when Russia was returning to a bourgeois organization.
 There was good deal of loose talk about war and revolution in the far east but not of nature to convince the Russians present that it would materialize.
 Many of the delegates were picked up right in Moscow and one Chinese socialist of prominence refused to attend. Officially there were IA del egates, 52 of whom were Koreans, 1G Japanese, 42 Chinese. 22 Mongolians, a Javanese and ? Kalmucks.
 In principle, the Third Interna- tionale promised 10 help the national movements in the countries repre- sented so that such movements might later be diverted into Marxst labor movements. It Is understood by the Third Internationale that so far there is no real communist move ments in China, Japan or Korea, but nationalist agitation in the sense that the revolutionists object to ex- isting governments.
 The second decision taken, also. in principle, was that the Third Inter- nationale would help to prevent the development especially of American influence in China and in general prevent any European powers inter- fering for capitalistic purposes there. But no money was promised to help revolutionary or nationalist agita tion.
 It was the impression gained by the Third lnternationale that the Japanese communist or socialist movements are taking the trend of those in England, with the govern ment making concessions when ob- liged to do so.
