AMERICAN LEGION WORK is
REVIEWED AT MEETING HERE
Continued from Page Two

NOullhueu from rage Two
by the meeting, all members arising
upon State Commander Sylvester's
presenting him. Colonel Miller COM
mended the great service to the State,
county and community by the Harri-
son Post of Smyrna through the am
bulance, which was purchased and
equipped through the efforts Of the
post, and which has now been in oper-
alton since November II, 1924. He
referred to the report of Commander
William E. Matthews, Jr., of Smyrna,
showing that the ambulance had COW
cred 1900 miles in that period and
has answered over 40 calls, some of
which took the ambulance as far
away as Washington and New York,
with the majority of the trips to Will
mington and Philadelphia. The am
bulance, including all overhead and
up-keep, is costing the post seventeen
cents for every mile covered on its
mission of mercy. He also referred
to the contribution of the Walter L.
Fox Post, in Dover, to the hospital in
that town, and the fact that Della
ware Post, No. 1, in Wilmington, had
permanently endowed a room in the
new Physicians and Surgeons Hos
pital, at Wilmington.
Speaking of membership, Colonel
Miller complimented the State COM
mander on the establishment of the
new Nanticoke Post in SeafOrd and
Laurel, which was represented at the
meeting by Captain Fred Marvel of
Laurel, and also the new post that is
to be formed in Georgetown through
the efforts of State Highway Officer
Ingram, who was at the meeting. He
appealed to the members to back up
their elected officers in the work that
they are doing, referring particularly
to the AmericaniSm work under John
B. Jessup, the service rendered by J.
Paul Heinel and the Child Welfare
work under J. NJ. Holmes. He stated
that with the opportunity for service
to the State and the comrades which
was presented to the ex-service men
of Delaware, there should be no diff
ficulty in reaching the goal of MEM
bership set for this year, which, if
attained would certainly give Della
ware one of the cups presented each
year at National Conventions fo1
membership increase and the work
done by the Legion in their respec-
tive departments.
The State chaplain, the Rev. Will
liam Gibson, pastor of New Castle
Presbyterian Church, was appointed
the officer to represent the depart
ment on the committee of arrange
ments in Philadelphia for the annual
convention next fall. He gave the
members an excellent talk on what
the Legion and Legionnaires could dc
| in their State and community.
The appointment of Lester P. Hud
| son, of Wilmington as the department
| officer in charge of the Paris conven.
! tion arrangements in 1927, was an
nounced and he outlined briefly the
plans for the creation of a saving,
4 fund on the part of each member 81
| he would have the funds available II
| pay for the trip to France in October
| 1927, when thousands of Legionnaire!
| will return to celebrate the tenth an
niversary of the American army's ar
rival in France.

WAVES

CLAIM II LIV S
(By Dispatch "A. P. Wire)

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-The
death toll of the "mystery waves"
that struck Brant Beach and Sand
Beach on Lake Erie Sunday, trap
ping a number of bathers, was placed
at IL tonight. Seven boeses have
been recovered and four persons are
missing.
Where the wave and undertow
clutched the bathers, creek of by
gone years had worn chute into
the rock bottom of the lake. The
creek now is a mere ditch but the
outlet channel remains as a deep
impression in the rock. Normally it
is filled with sand, Sunday a great
swell struck the shore, it sluiced out
the sand and into the sluice drew
the unsuspecting bathers who thought
the water only waist deep.
The wave swirled back into the
lake as a torrent of water sand and
human beings. The stronger swim
mers escaped the undertow.

Old Spanish Mission At
Tucson Is Well Preserved

The old Spanish mission, San Fran
cisco Xavier del Bac at'Tucson, is one
of the best preserved of these in these
interesting structures.
This ancient mission is monument
to the spiritual labors of Padre Fuse
bio Francisco Kino, who is credited
with founding the original mission of
which the beautiful structure forms
present architectural expression.
San Xavier is we'll worth a stop
over at Tucson. The mission building,
nine miles south Of the railway sta
ton, is easily reached in leisurely
trip by automobile, during which one
gets taste Of genuine desert scenery
The mission building is one of the
most beautiful examples OF Spanish ec-
clesiastical architecture in America;
its pure white walls rising lonely in
the desert, stately towers and DOME,
silhouetted against the depths of the
translucent sapphire sky, lends an
Oriental suggestion.
Here daily services are still held
also a parochial school for the Papago
Indians for whom the mission was
built in 1888 and whose primitive hab-
itations are scattered about as the

VAN DYKE HITS
AT THOSE WHO
FLAYED MARVIN
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

MIAMI, Aug. 1O.-Reaction to the
successful advance of the University
of Arizona" naturally was IAN effort
to claw the president, whose executive
and administrative ability led to
achievement" Cleve w. Van Dyke,
chairman of the university board of
regents, said in statement here to-
day anent the recent reappointment of
DR.. C1oyd H. Marvin as president. THE
recollection ofNPresident Marvin has met
the general approval of the people Of
Arizona" said Van Dyke. "The ad-
ministration under President Marvin
has been successful. During his adj
ministration the university has ad-
vanced to the first rank among the
universities of the country = ="
"The board of regents gave the or
ganized minority chance to vent it's
misdirected emotions, and this minority
proceeded in manner which gave
ample evidence that the basis found
it's origin in the excited mind of an
individual jealousy rather than in a
mind strong in an evangelical desire to
lead a righteous cause"
The statement brands the attack on
Marvin as "insidious and clandestine.

A day or two following the Wash

| Statements attributed to Senator Ralph

country will demand that President

and limitation of armament and his
foreign program, are factors that
make men in close touch with the

he will be candidate according to
reports received from the capital
/ Developments in the last few days
lead to the conclusion that the 1928
campaign is becoming active and that
President Coolidge will seek renomi-
nation.
Those who know the presidents
mind declare he has not given any
inkling as to his purposes to his most
intimhte political and personal adj
visors, but they are proceeding on the
assumption that he will be candi4

AS the situation has shaped itself,
in the judgment of many politicians.
Messrs. Coolidge, Lowden and Long
worth have become the outstanding
1lSurea In the Ilelu OF possibilities,
with Messrs. Dawes, Hughes, Borah
and Hoover in the background.
The question agitating the friends
of the respective candidates is whether
oprosition TO Coolidge policies and
because of the third term tradition
will develop. Coolidge partisans are
answering thIa by saying that the
president is serving now his first
elected term, as the year and half
he served of Harings term cannot be
regarded as first term.
Apparently, if Coolidge becomes q
candidate there will not be much OF
a contest against him if present bust
ness conditions and his strength last
until the summer of 1928. II he should
refuse to enter the field there would
be a free for all scramble for the

Hopi Snake Dancers Introduce
Weird Rhythn1s of Ancient Race
Recent Recordings of Chants
Have Musical and His
toric Interest.

REGARDLESS of whether
TX the intricate steps of the
snake dance will ever be
lS seen on the ballroom floor
in some adaptation which
will make it competitor of the
charleston" the group of Hopi In
dians who presented this unique
ceremony on the Capitol plaza in
Washington recently at least left
behind them something Of real mu-
sical significance. Their mission
at the home of the White Father
was to demonstrate one thing
that the snake dance was not as
savage as it had been painted. But
they had to have music for the
dance, and it was this music that
made the deepest impression
among that portion of the audience
having an ear attuned to the un.
usual in harmony and rhythm.
From Ancient Hopl City
From the shadow of the ancient
Hopi city of Wupatki came these
five Indian dancers and musicians
"a city which was probably inhab-
tied when Caesar ruled Rome, and
which is today but mass Of ruins,
some of them three stories in
height. And their dances and their
music are as ancient as the desert
ed city.
Speaker of the House Long
worth, Vice President Dawes, mem
bers of the Supreme Court, Sena-
tors, Representatives and about
5000 other spectators looked on
with wonder and not a little amaze
memt as the five redskins went
through the involved measures OF
their ritualistic dance. BY govern
ment order, the dance as given on
the Hopi reservation has been sub
stantially modified, and the visi-
tors were seeking to show the ma
TONS lawmakers just how it was
now being done.
Harmless Snakes Used
The reptiles used in the dance
were not the terrible Crotalus Con-
flusntus, or prairie rattle snake,
but much less dangerous variety.
First the Indians charmed the
snakes, and then launched into
what had characteristics of the
Charleston. clog dance. a bit Of

unison. The rhythms Of the drums
are subtle, and keen listening will
detect in them swift and curious
changes, a theme or a rhythm re
turning at intervals as in musical
rondo. The language is soft and
musical, and to many will suggest
Hawaiian in it's predominating
vowel sounds. The tempo and pitch
Of the singers are remarkably accu
rate, and are the result, it is said,
of careful rehearsing.
An interesting characteristic OF
the recording of the Hopi chants is
the clearness with which the drum
theme is heard. This is the result
of new scientific developments in
recording, and the application OF
the orthophonic principle Of talking

Tucson Catholics Urged
Not to Take Part In
Celebration Sept. l6
fBy Dispatch A. p. wrre)

TUCSON, Aug 1O.-Tucson Cath
olics, American as well as Mexican
were exhorted by their clergy Sunday
not to participate in the local cele-
brations of Mexican independence,
which will be staged September IS
and 16.
Captained by the very Rev. Peter
Timmermans. vicar general of the
diocese of Tucson, which embraces
the entire state of Arizona, local
priests delivered special sermons on
the religious conflict in Mexico.
Exhortations similar to those volc-
ed by Father Timmermans were CIV
en- by Father Carmelo of the Church
of the Holy Family and by Father
Justine of the Church of Santa Cruz.
'eThere is no lliberty in Mexico
for us to celebrate" Father Thinner
mans asserted. in his sermon, which
was delivered in English and IN
Spanish at ST. Augustine's cathedral.
Mexico is governed today by a
handful of military men and revolu-
tionists. Though no foreign power
dominates the country, is dominated
by the revolutionaries.
1--WE Catholics in this country can
not celebrate Mexican independence
day while our brethren. are suffering
in Mexico.
"I hope that no Catholic girl will
be candidate for queen of the fiesta
on that day and 1 hope that no
Catholic will take any other part in
the. celebration.
''The Catholic church is one, in
the mystical body of Christ. AS
Catholics, then, we cannot rejoice
while our brethren are weeping"
In support of his assertion that
there is no independence in Mex
ico," Father Timmermans cited a
speech recently made in the house
of representatives of the United
States by James A. Gallivan OF
Massachusetts,.
Commenting on his sermon, Father
Timmermans, in an interview with
the Arizona Daily Star today, re-
ferred to the action of the Right
Rev. Arthur Jerome Drossaerts, bis
hop of San Antonio, who recently
suggested to his flock that they OBJ
serve the period from September IL
to 16, inclusive, as days of fasting
and prayer, instead of days of cele-
bration.
