SEn INDIAN WOMEN
PAINT TWICE HOURLY
Lecture Tells Anthropological So
oiety of Odd Customs on
Tiburon Island.

Customs and characteristics OF the
Seri Indians were described in a lee
ture by Charles Sheldon at a meeting
under the auspices of the Washington
Society in the New
National Museum last night.
Mr.. Sheldon told OF Tiburon Island.
In the Gulf Of California. where he
lived with this tribe for nearly two
months, during which time he studied
their many traits and modes OF living.
He atated that 1t was very hard to
learn much about their religious be-
liefs and superstitions, as they speak
only a very limited amount of Span
ish, and that there was no other race
of people in the world who spoke their
language. This peculiar race of peo-
pie, OF which there are only about $50
in number. who live on an island
about twenty miles wide and thirty
miles long, live mostly on sea food
which they catch with crude fishing
outfits and spears. They usually
make their homes near the water
supply from the mountains in contain
ers made by themselves, he said.
The women paint many kinds OF
fancy designs on their faces, some OF
them erasing one design and applying
another about every half hour. he
said. They carry all Of their earthly
belongings with them wherever they
go and. as did the American Indian
they bury all of ones belongings
with him at death. He also told how
they were able to bear almost any
kind Of hardships. Wearing prac
tically no clothing, they could stant
the heat of the desert or the cold o'
the high attitudes without seeming tC
suffer. he concluded.
Following his lecture he showed
lantern slides of many of the Indian:
and various scenes on the island.
