INDIAN TAKES DYE
SECRET TO CRAVE
Papagos Without Formula
Used in Basket Weaving.

Tucson, Ariz.-Handed down from
mother to daughter, a priceless pos
session, a portion Of tribal tradition,
the age-old secret Of the colors used
In the weaving Of the basketwork Of
the Papagos, closely associated with
the Pima Indians, is now q thing OF
the past.
An aged squaw, who lived for many
years In the vicinity Of Tucson. died
at the age Of ninety-odd years. Only
few, aside from her family, marked
the passing of the daughter Of the
Papago race.
The last piece of woven work done
by the wrinkled. skilled fingers, the
result Of six months painstaking
labor, was brought to a shop in Tue
son shortly before the passing of the
ancient weaver.
On it's sides, encircling the basket,
are the flying Thunderbirds, woven in
four colors, red, green, black and
white.
And now. since her death, II Is said
that the formula for making the red
and green embodied in the Thunder
bird design has passed with her. as
the aged artisan did not impart her
knowledge Of their preparation, and
the secret Of applying them, to any
one. Whether science will rediscover
what roots and herbs were used in the
brewing of the nonfading colors In the
Thunderbird pattern, or whether the
art has become lost one, is a ques-
tion which time alone will prove.
While the Papagos, belonging to the
group of village dwellers, have culti-
waited crops, using irrigation for many
hundred years. they have also sub
sisted, to a large extent, upon the
desert flora, not only employing the
white, bleached leaves Of the yucca
plant In the manufacture Of basketry,
but have utilized the fruit Of the
giant cactus and the mesquite for drink
and food

RAZES CEMETERY
ENRAGING TOWN
Claims Historic Burial Plot
and Dumps Markers.

Stamford, Conn.-With the town Of
New Canaan up In arms against him,
G. Elmer Jones Of this city Is facing
possible complications as a result Of
the wholesale removal Of headstones
from a small cemetery In New Canaan.
In the cemetery. the graves in which
now appear confused beyond any iden-
tification, New Canaan's dead have
been buried since early In the Eight
eenth century.
AS an heir of one John Jones, Mr..
Jones lays claim to the property on
which the cemetery is located. Re
Gently he caused the ninety-three
headstones to be removed, including
five which marked the graves Of Rev
olutionary or Civil war soldiers. Fifty
three of the stones were set up In lot
which Mr.. Jones purchased in Lake
View cemetery. which is in another
part Of New Canaan.
The others were piled in a heap in
a swamp and left there. No effort
was made to dislnter any of the bodies
In the old cemetery, and 1t Is said 1t
would be impossible now to replace
the headstones over the graves to
which they belong. One Of the stones
bears the date 1876, the name on 1t
being Anna Eels. Only one stone was
left, that being so tangled in the roots
of an elm tree 1t could not be budged
Laborers and truckmen had the work
of removing the stones completed be-
fore the townspeople realized what
was going on. Incensed, they are now
clamoring for action. The town of
New Canaan has instructed Its counsel,
Homer S. Cummings, to take whatever
steps are necessary.
The town contends the cemetery is
public property. The Connecticut law
provides a severe penalty for tamper-
ing with a tombstone or grave. At
Mr.. Cummings office 1t was said q
careful investigation was being made
and that action would be instituted II
the facts warranted.
At the Jones home It was said he
was away. His wife declined to make
any statement In his behalf. From
other sources, however, 1t was learned
Jones had consulted counsel before
having the stones removed.

Navy Men Plan to Refuel
Shenandoah While in Air

Washington.-In the near future the
bureau of aeronautics of the Navy
department will attempt to refuei the
airship Shenandoah In the air while
under tow of surface vessel.
This announcement was made re-
Gently by Rear Admiral william A.
Moffett that a bride will be rigged to
a tow line and attached to the moor
ing gear in the nose of the big rigid.
A hose will be connected with the
fuel tanks Of the airship and gasoline
pumped into them from the supply ves-
sci on the surface.
This is the next important test we
will make with the Shenandoah" said
the admiral. "We are confident 1t can
be successfully refueled in this way.
If the experiment comes up to expec-
tations 1t will add materially to the
usefulness of rigids with the fleet"
Admiral Moffett said when a moor
ing mast was installed on the fuel
ship Patoka 1t was not intended to
use that vessel as a floating base for
the Shenandoah. He doubts that any
coupling so far developed would be
able to hold huge rigid to a mast on
a ship rolling heavily in the open sea.
When plans are perfected for refuel-
ing airships from surface vessels 1t is
anticipated it will increase the safety
factor in the event of accident as well
as increase the cruising radius Of
rigids. The tow line would be dropped
from the airship to the surface vessel,
likewise the hose for refilling fuel
tanks.

Invention Enables
Voiceless to Speak

Baltimore. - Experiments In
which persons supplied with an
artificial larynx have been en-
abled to speak well enough to
make themselves understood
have been conducted by DR.. J. e.
MacKenty of New York, It was
disclosed before the Baltimore
Medical society.
Patients who have undergone
operations for cancer of the
throat and whose vocal appa-
ratus has been removed have
been enabled to breathe through
holes. In the neck and, with the
instrument substituted for the
larynx, have made themselves
understood In what has been
termed a "voice almost human"
and audible throughout a good
sized room.
The device consists of a pad
over the breathing aperture In
the patients neck, with a rub
ber tube leading to an instru-
ment which stimulates the vocal
cords.
Air is forced from the lungs
and is set in vibration, the VI
brations being carried through
a short tube like a pipestem into
the speakers mouth. The re-
suit Is said to be similar to
speech In q monotone.
