HUNDREDS OF TOURISTS USE
W|NSLOW AS BASE IN MAKING.
TRIP TO HOP| SNAKE DANCE.

Following today's tourist activity
in Winslow, the city will present
the aspect of a more or less de
serted village" tomorrow, for local
people as well as those from out
side will join the great throng that
will journey over the desert to-
morrow to witness the Hopi Snake
Dance at Hotevilla. Those who
have been fortunate enough to see
the dances in the past will go with
the newcomers, for it is a sight
that never fails to impress and in
terest, no matter how many times
it is seen.
In all the world there is no cere-
mony like this. It is religious
rite performed exactly as it was
ten, twenty centuries ago = a
strange relic of the old stone age,
when the dividing line between
magic and religion was not clearly
defined.
1t will be witnessed by travellers
from distant places. Men will come
in automobiles, complicated prod

Century, to watch the desert In
dians perform rites that were time
worn when Europe was an unpeo-
pied wilderness.
A Prayer for Rain
The snake dance is an annual
prayer for rain-an invocation to
the gods that live in the sky and
control the clouds and to the gods
that live underground and control
the springs and rivers, Joined in
by the residents of six Hopi viii
lagos On long mesa north of here.
First the Snake and Antelope
clans meet to study various meteor
illogical signs and determine the
date for the dance. This years
ceremony has been set for August
21. Then come many days of pre-
paration. In no Christian church
are preparations for a sacrament
more carefully made.
A town crier announces the date
from the housetops. The priests of
the Antelope clan meet to set up
Z the altar. They make a mosaic of
different colored sands, which are
sprinkled ON the floor, with clouds

WORK STARTED ON
r. MILE STRETCH
BETWEEN CANYONS

Travellers over the National Old
Trails highway who have in the
past had cause to speak rather
harshly of the stretch of road be-
tween Canyons Pablo and. Padre,
will find that one bad spot ironed
out in the very near future, and
can carry tales east and west of a
magnificent highway all the way
across northern Arizona, according
to engineers in charge of the work.
The contract for this twelve-mile
stretch was recently let to Whiting
Brothers, Tanner and Turley, of
St. Johns, and the work has begun,
under the supervision of Engineer
Delos L. Bundy, of the state high
way department.
This twelve miles, which has at
times resembled relief map of
the Alps, will be the last piece of
the highway that can be condemned
in even the mildest terms, for by
the time it is finished, other i'm
provements now under way will
also have been completed.
The construction of the strip to
be improved begins at a point %
miles east of Flagstaff at Canyon
Padre and rEoAs for 1917 miles to
Canyon Diablo toward Winslow.
The road is to be brought to
standard Federal Aid requirements.
All structures culverts and drains
are to meet the federal require
ments and the road is to be widen
ed and improved to meet the spe-
cifications.
A connecting link of highway to
the south is also soon to be i'm
proved, according to report which
states that on August % bids are
to be opened at the state highway
department for the proposals to
improve the main highway from
Prescott to the Ashfork and Je-
rome junction.
Bids on the proposed work are
being received at the present time.
Although the bids were first adver-
tised for during the early part of
last week, it is believed at the
state highway department that a
number of offers, providing for ex-
cellent work, will be received.
The highway which runs north
from Prescott by Whipple Barracks
and through Granite Dells to the
junction of the two main highways
is to be widened, according to Mr..
Lefebvre, state engineer. The many
accidents on this stretch of the
highway because it is too narrow
to accommodate the large volume
of traffic has made it necessary for
the highway department to call for
bids for improvements, it is said.

Reserve Officers
Entertain Judge
Advocate General

Although the customary spirit of
hilarity manifest at meetings of the
Reserve Officers Association was
not so prevalent at the regular
meeting held Tuesday night, owing
to the fact that Capt G. l.. Hatha-
way, in whose home the meetings
are held, was suffering from
broken leg which he sustained the
day before, the reserve officers
were nevertheless able to carry out
their regular business and enter
tain a distinguished visitor, Major
G. H. Rutherford, judge advocate
general of the Arizona association
Various problems confronting the
organization and the country were
discussed by members, particularly
the fact that the national anthem,
"The Star Spangled Banner" is
coming in for good deal of criti-
cism from those whose patriotism
seems to be tagging or who are
fearful of offending nations which
this country has been forced to de-
feat in past conflicts. The local or
gan1ZatlOn is preparing reSOlu-
ton on the subject, as are other
branches of the association.
Owing to the absence of superin-
tendent of schools G. H. Madden, no
reply has been received regarding
the proposal to establish a cadet
corps or a branch of the r @. T. c.
in Winslow schools, but another
letter will be despatched to Mr..
Madden, and it is hoped that mill
tary training will be available to
school boys who wish it.
A feature of the meeting was the
return of Stanley E. Watkins, a
charter member of the local reserve
officers chapter. Watkins was re-

DROWNING YOUTH
ALMOST SWAMPS
WOULD-BE SAVIOR

For the fourth time this season
Tom Hubbard, concessionaire at
Clear Creek, has assisted a luckless
swimmer to shore after the amphi-
bious unfortunate was near drown
ing. The near-victim this time was
Victor Candelaria, 20 years old, of
Winslow, and his trouble very
nearly also caused the drowning OF
Willie Girard, IL, who swan to
Candelaria's assistance before Hub
bard got his boat away from shore.
According to Hubbard, Candelar-
ia, assisted by water-wings, was
negotiating the width of the pool
when his inflated helpers broke
their moorings and left him in the
waves. Candelaria sank, arose and
shouted, and was sinking again
when young Girard came to his aid.
The panic-stricken Candelaria fas-
tened the customary drowning
mans grip" on his would-be bene-
factor, and both made several trips
below the surface before some 9TH
er bather tossed the water-wings to
the Mexican, Hubbard in the mean
time making ready to go to his as
sistance in his boat and shouting
to Candelaria to release the boy.
Leaving the wings to support
Candelaria, Girard made his es-
cape, just as Hubbard, in his boat,
arrived on the scene. Although
able to keep afloat, Candelaria was
in bad condition. and Hubbard was
forced to haul him into the boat
and ashore, where some of the res
ervoir which he had Inadvertently
swallowed was disgorged. None of
the principals are any the worse for
their experience.

DAILY MAIL EDITOR
QU|TSIN DEBT ROW
Thomas M. MarloWe Out
After New Director Opposes
Papers Old Policy.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, September 16.-Thomas
NJ. Marlowe, editor of the Daily Mail
since 1899, has resigned. He was ap-
pointed at the age of 81 by the late
Lord Northcliffe.
The reason for his resignation has
not been announced, but it was as
sumed it was connected with the
recent dissent from the Daily Mails
editorial opinions respecting settle
ment of inter-allied debts to the
United States as expressed in an
article in the Sunday Pictorial
August by Lord Rothermere, who
succeeded his brother. Lord North
cliffe, in the control of a newspaper
group, Associated Newspapers, Linn
tied, which the Daily Mail belongs.
The Daily Mail strongly opposed the
debt settlements and editorially de-
nounced the method of the United
States in collecting her debts as Shy
lock-like." 1t also sharply attacked
Premier Baldwin for making the
British debt settlement with the
United States.
Lord Rothermere said in his article
in the Sunday Pictorial that he did
not share the Daily Nails view on
debt settlements. He contended that
the settlement of the British debt
was not due to American rapacity,
but to the ineptitude of British states
manship.
Mr. Marlowe will retain the chair
manShiD of Associated Newspapers,
Limited. which he held jointly with
his editorship of the Daily Mail,
