KIVA MEDICINE MAKING STARTS
 FUR S|NOKI DAY

Carved from the living stone of the Dance Rock on Smoki Mesa, far away in the land of the Rim, is the sacred kiva which is being prepared ] this week for those mystic ceremon- lies that must prccede the annual
 Smoki snake dance.
 No white man has ever been down this kiva, but accurate descriptions .ot it have been found. in the picture
 writings of the Aztecs, the fore-run- .ners of the renegade tribe that is to reproduce it's weird, fascinating and spectacular rites in this city on June 9.
 Sixteen days exactly, before the day of the Snakes, the chanting and
 mixing of medicine begins in the
 kiva. Only the oldest and most ex- Ipcrienccd priests of the tribe are all flowed to participate i'll the prelude i ceremonies, and they, who consoli-
 date the devoted songs and move ments in their memories by these lpractices, in turn convey the ritual 10 tic younger bucks, who in years to come will inherit the coveted places of the Old Ones.
 Tonight is the solemn time fixed by the circlirg moon and planets for the beginning of the kiva prepara- tions. On this evening, passers-by will hear low, rhythmic chant pro- Icecding frssn the carven lips of the kiva entrance. The music is wailing, high pitched, and 1t rises and falls Iregularly, although there is 2 low. imurmuring monotone running all through it. The faint beat of the itom-tom sets the time for the sing CTS, who sit i'll serried ranks around the walls Of the underground cham
 ber,' the high priest in the center,
 flanked by his Tamah-iyah and chief snake dancer. An altar Is arranged
 at one end of the kiva. But it can not be described here Suffice it to say that its decorations carry out the scheme of the sun, rain clouds, light ming, sprouting corn, flowing streams and similar naturalistic formulae of the rain prayer.
 For 16 days and nights. the chants goes on uninterrupted by so much as pause. As singers are compelled to drop out their places are filled, so that always, there IS group car rying on the ceremony, rehearsing the goodness of the Snake God, the .deservingness of the Smoli people of the deities' favors and fixing the .ordcr and measure of the ritual inn movably in the minds of the minis
 ters.
 Not until the ceremony that pre- .cedes the snake dance by a mere
 hour or two, does this unbroken
 stream of sound cease coming from
 the mouth of the kiva Then, with
 the hundreds of snakes fresh from
 the desert, the snake priests go thru
 that most significant of the cere- monials, the washing and purifying of those earthly serpents who are to represent their deistic fellows of the underworld in the dance itself. This ceremony is accompanied by other chants and takes place during the three to six hours immediately pre- ceding the snake dance.
 According to word from the Mesa. | the first preliminaries will start to- morrow night.
