TO REPRODUCE SNAKE DANCE
Ceremonial Originating With the
Hopi Indians.


For two years citizens Of Prescott,
Ariz., have reproduced the rain cere-
mo1iial of the Hopi Indians, the snake
dance. by means of which this desert
tribe indicates its compliance with the
commands Of it's principal deity. The
third reproduction Of the snake dance
by white men, students of the Indian
ritual and long practiced in the art of
it's steps and chants, will take PLACE
In June. A reproduction of a HOpi
village will be CONSTRUCTED of light
material, but without detail lacking,
even to the sun-curing meat hanging
from walls. "With such background.
the white men perform dance they
hope to preserve from the altering
hand of time," says writer In Popu-
lar Mechanics magazine.
1t is desired to add to and expand
this Indian pageantry so that by 1925.
when the rest of America Is rehearsing
the landing Of the Pilgrims. the sign
ing of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, and the founding Of New Am
sterdam by the Hollanders 300 years
ago, there will be in the Southwest a
pageant going back still farther. It
may deal with the Indian account Of
the Notwithstanding oddly like our
own biblical one. 1t will seek to probe
the history, buried in legends, Preside
tales, myths, religious rites and tribal
traditions that hold the key to the
earliest Inhabitants Of the southern
Rocky mountains.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
IEUTENANT"

Z .LS teSN|NeVb
MAYHEM. In old English rec
~ ords, we find that the arch
bishop of Canterbury Is referred
to as "the lefttenant Of the pope
and Of the king Of England" a
vision Of the church militant I'm
mediately presents itself; but
this use Of the word '1eftten-
ant" at once the father and the
son Of our present-day ''lieuten-
anti is an indication Of the
earlier significance Of the word.
Formed from the French
lieu, place. and tenant, hold
ing. lieutenant" means literally
one who holds place, or, figura-
lively. one who exercises author
ity In the absence Of his superb
or. With its French spelling
and its French pronunciation,
the word was at first transport
ed bodily across the channel and
introduced into England about

"lieu" being altered to 100" and
the word itself being spelled as
1t was when originally imported
into England.
