0 BOY! LISTEN TO THIS
RAVE ON SNAKE DANCE

Hoteville, Ariz., Aug. 22.-(United
News)-Its savage intensity rivaled
only by the soaring rays of an Ari-
zona sun, the Hopi snake dance
reached bloody climax late today.
Hopi-land, as this village is called,
presents a weird scene of repulsion.
Painting red-men, terribly disfigured
by the venomous fangs of snakes, fall
to the ground in exhaustion, needless
of the writhing rattlers, whose blood
splattered bodies squirm everywhere.
1t is the third day of the Hopi pa
gan ritual and tomorrow the snakes
will be freed to carry the word to the
underworld spirits and ancestors that
the Hopis want rain.
More than 5000 white spectators
gathered here at sunrise when the
Hopi priests emerged from their un-
derground kiva to begin the primi-
tive rites.
For three days previous to the op-
ening of the dance the priests held
sacred communion with hundreds of
venomous rattlers underground. No
outsider was permitted to witness the
ceremony, which was held in a cave.
When the hungry rattlers came up
from the ground the priests, in groups
of three, knelt before the kiva, one
of the trio drawing forth a big snake,
who ratified a steady and vicious pro-
test and warning.
Taking the body of the snake in
his mouth, the priest and his two
brothers began the dance.
With the speed of rivet-hammer,
the snake buried his long fangs again
and again in the face and shoulders of
the priest. After the trio had circled
the plaza, the first snake was thrown
into pile and another one obtained
Throughout the day the Indians kept
up the dance. AS one group of dane
ers fell in exhaustion another group
took up the chant and ceremony.
Tonight the snake priests will drink
copiously of a secret and powerful
enetic. This is black fluid prepared
by the squaws as an antidote for
snake bite-From the Los Angeles Il
lustrated Daily News.
editors note-The head lines Of
the terrible snake tail read: Dance
is Bloody Horror" Evidently the wri-
ter was full of soda water and other
frothy food to see all this, for no
other visitors at the famous snake
dance saw anything like what he or

The garrison ration" of the Army
for the last fiscal year cost 36.12

$4,000 enlisted men for the present
fiscal year on the estimated ration
cost of 33 cents per. man laid down
by the Budget Bureau. having been
forced to holding the average strength
for the fiscal year to 10000. as the
ration cost did not go down.
Gen. Cheatham's report showed
also that Army laundries. which
caused something of stir of debate
in the last Congress, earned $260,913,
"after deducting all expenses for oper-
alton, supplies and depreciation"
Among savings effected during the
year, the report enumerated the move
