WE ARE confined to the sur.
w face Of a small globe from
which we cannot escape. How
very small II is we hardly COM
prehend because we are 50 very
much smaller ourselves. When
once we understand these simple
physical facts we have no es-
cape from the conviction of our
utter insignificance unless we can
find 1t within the depths OF our
own minds. Are we In reality
greater and more important than
our material being shows? Is our
ability to conceive such a thought
itself q proof that the thought Is
sound and true? Could there be
any other proof, and can that
one be accepted as sufficient?
Some say yes; others say no.
On these opposite views are
based religion and irreligion. IL
we believe that there is that
within US which il superior to
our mere material nature, then it
is but logical to suppose that
there are existences yet more ex-
celIent than ourselves with which
we may be connected, or by
which we may be influenced
Hence arises belief in God, II
heavenly powers.
Except in the way mentioned at
the beginning, that Is to say
through the conviction which 1t
brings that our physical lives
are of extreme insignificance in
the vast universe, science has no
bearing upon the essential idea
OF religion. Yet we see continual

Election Seen as Victory for

Refutes Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

by InP ASSOcldttu icSo'
BERLIN, September 1.-THE re-
suls of the League of Nations council
election are largely interpreted by the
Berlin press today as a conspicuous
victory for French politics, the papers
of the Left pointing out that the in
ternational popularity of France is
factor to be reckoned with.
''It is regrettable that such news
should be disseminated by Germany
on the day after her entry into the
League of Nations" NJ. Painleve said
The report was telegraphed to the
Berlin newspaper Gazette der Woke
by it's Paris correspondent. who said
he had learned from well-informed
circles that France had concentrated
in recent days no less than six dlvl-
sions of troops in the region of the
French Alps and had correspondingly
strengthened the frontier fortresses.
Outwardly, he added, France was
observing the correct reserved attl-
tude in the face of most bitter at
tacks from the Italian press. result
ing from the attempt on MussOlini's
life by an Italian exile who had lived
in France.
Several papers, however, advise
that Germany follow the example of
England and not be jealous of
Frances success. The Socialist
Vorwaerts considers the vote giving
Poland eligibility for reelection the
only disagreeable feature, but admits

sons with a special interest of their
own to put the farmers to the great
est disadvantage. He believes that
the wholesale and commission men
are not ne ones to say where the
farmers market should go, because
the farmers market is a balance
wheel against high prices by commits
sion dealers. Neither should the re.
tail or corner grocers be allowed to
sl'~ak for the farmers, since their in
tefeSts are to keep the farmers and
the housewives separated.
Speaks for Farmers.
SO Secretary Jardine proposes to
represent the farmers in this matter
and see that they are properly To-
Gated and their interests safeguarded
IN the proposed relocation of the
market. In this connection he believes
that the farmers market cannot be
relocated with the expectation that
the wholesalers will cluster about it
nor would it be advisable to locate it
Where 1t would be inconvenient for
the public, or consumers. For these
reasons he feels that the entire
market system--retail, wholesale and
farmers lines''-should be moved at
once and properly co-ordinated in a
new location.
For these three reasons. Secretarv
Jardine today authorized the state.
nent that he, as administrator of the
Center Market, would gladly yield
that commanding site.
IN taxing this attitude, Secretary
Jardlne supports the position of Presi-
dent Coolidge, who in an interview
with representative of The Star at
the PRESIDENTS Summer camp. de-
cared his views regarding the loca-
tlon OF the Commerce Building as
follows:
Rather than encroach upon the
beauties of the Mall, those who are
20 make the selection first should
choose some other place, and, if they
are attracted by the area between the
Avenue and the Mall and Seventh and
Tenth streets, they should not permit
themselves to become confused or
hampered by the question Of IL new
site for the market buildings. The
latter question could be settled in a
leisurely and satisfactory manner
later or after it has been definitely
settled that the market buildings
must give way for the Commerce
Building.

Sa.U Nothing Pretty
in Hopi Snake Dance

The only ceremonial Indian dance of
which I know the date or approx
mately the date, Is the Hopi snake
dance, which comes in August, near
the last of the month, Mr.. Hartman
writes in Adventure Magazine. The
Hopi themselves never know the exact
date until near the time, as 1t Is fixed
by the time when a shadow hits a
certain point on the mesa. The priests
watch and when certain shadow
touches this particular spot, then they
know the dance must be held certain
number Of days later.
This makes 1t vary from year to
year, by a few days.
This dance Is held either at Oraibi,
Hotevilla or Walpi, though at times 1t
occurs at Shumgopavi or Mishongnovi.
It Is the closing number Of nine
day ceremonial, which they believe
brings rain. The snakes are caught
and brought in after much mummery.
The whole ceremony Is disgusting
pagan rite, where men hold live snakes
in their jaws and go dancing around
the plaza. They drink an emetic Of
strong potency and all stand in row
