Chas. Mason, of The Sun staff, dur ing a recent visit to Tuba City, fell in with Joe Lee, who is headquarter- ed there and is an authority in all things pertaining to the Indians and the reservation. Joe saw that Mason was a-thirst for information and pro- ceeded to ladle it out. He moraliZed at length on how conditions changed the appearance of people; for in stance, he said, let an Indian get a good education, live strictly as the whites do, and eventually he would look like a white person, in fact, couldn't be distinguished from one. He pointed to Byron Sharp, superinten- dent of the Tuba City Indian school, and Mrs. Sharp. ''They are full blooded Hopi Indians" Joe said, "Mr. Sharp was born in that corner 'dobe. But they renounced the habits of their people when they were very young; were educated in eastern schools, and now look so much like white people that even the experienced observer has a hard time telling the differ ence."
 Mason took it all in. He mentioned the facts before some friends of the Sharps, that MT. and Mrs. Sharp were Hopis and quoted Lee as authority. The laughter that the story was met with was his first intimation that Joe had been romancing. Mason is very glad he didn't have an opportunity to ask the Sharps anything about their Indian ancestry.
