But now the snakes have all been
through the dance, and the Snake
Men gather in the center of the
square. There the snakes will be
thrown all in one spot, and will be
sprinkled again with the recurrent
baptism of the sacred meal, and
from there the Priests will snatch
them, to run down the steep paths
on the mesa's side and into the des-
ert to send the snakes far out to
the god of rain.
The entrances to the plaza are
cleared, the priests gather their
snakes, and crowds stand on the
mesa's rim, and watch the figures,
far below, disappear in the rocks
and sand.
AS each Priest and dancer re-
turns from the run with the snakes
he washes his body in the spring
below, and makes his way to the
Kiva, where he is divested of his
regalia. Almost unclothed, they go
in a body to where the women of
the village await their return with
pots of black liquid with which
they purge their bodies of the snake
poison. The powerful emetic acts
the last action in the age-old
drama, as curious white people look
on, anxious that no part of the GER
emony escape them.
Yes, the dance is over, but in the
village there will be feasting until
midnight in anticipation of the
rains that will surely come. Side
by side with their traditional enc
mics, the five hundred or more Ma
vajos who have ridden across miles
of desert in their buckboards and
on their ponies, will sit on the pue-
bio floors and eat the corn cakes
and stew of the joyful Hopis.
The sun goes down, and around
the few cars that remain, the light
from camp fires springs up. The
rest are going, speeding down from
the tall mesa to civilization" to
carry again to the outside world
the story of the Hopi Snake Mems
powerful and colorful prayer for
rain. 4a

quiet, signing song is carried on
longer than the rest; is carried On
and on to a climax.
The two Snake children who are
taking part in their first Snake
Dance, their initiation, are worn by
the sixteen-day fast, but they chant
and dance with the spirit of their
elders.
The chant ceases, and the aged
man next the highest Priest enters
the hut, and the climax of the
dance is begun. With the Snake
Priests behind them, the two small
children and an older man circle
the space before the hut's door, and
into the hands of each is given a
snake. Three times they dance be-
fore the hut in circle, the heads
of the snakes in their mouths, and
then at signal, the reptiles are
laid on the plaza floor.
The disgrace of shrinking or fall
tering cannot be laid to the chill
dren. This is their great moment,
and they meet it with mans cour-
age. No more than ten or twelve
years old, they seem to appreciate
the gravity of the ceremony, and
the striking fangs of the rattlers
do not stir them from their calm.
They know also that the knowl-
edge of their medicine men is great
and that the medicines which are
known to only the Snake Priests Of
the Hopis will save them from the
toxin of the deadly little rain-mes-
sengers. AS the snake are released
the Snake Man places others in
their hands, and the performance
is repeated.
AS the snakes dart over the plaza
floor they are sprinkled again with
holy meal b ythe marshals who cir
Gle the dancers that the snakes may
not escape, and after they are thus
anointed, they are snatched by the
lightningquick hands of these men
There are few bul1-snakes, few
of the whip-like prairie-racers, but
the most of the snakes are the
small, grey desert rattlesnakes, the
"side- winder" of western romance
AS the snakes are gathered from
almost under the feet of the on
lockers who fill the square, they
are given into the hands of the An
telope Men, who still continue the
shaking of their rattles, and their
rhythmical dance.
A white man, frightened by the
proximity Of snake, and unmind-
full of the seriousness of the cere-
mony, attempts to place his foot on
snake that comes too near, and
the incensed Priest in retribution
picks up the snake and twines it
around the neck of the fearful one

Ask Yourself This Question

"What evidence has there been, in YOUR coun-
ty of any attempt on the part of Ellinwood's
friends to corrupt the electorate?"
The answer in all truth, must be NONE!
The same answer is true of the other thirteen
counties Of this state
Don't permit your intelligence to be insulted
by vague whispers of tremendous sums being
expended. in other counties, to corrupt the vot-
ers in favor of Elinwood.
You have not seen any evidence of this and
neither have the whispering henchmen of Hunt
who are trying to poison the minds Of the voters
with this kind of smoke screen.
They never charge that the money is being ex-
pended in the county where they are talking,
but always say that this is going on in the 9TH
er counties.
The next time anyone gives you any of this
propaganda, simply tell them "SHOW MEw
They cannot, for the simple reason that there
is no truth in it.

TERRAP ms
LOSE TWO

When Curly Byrd, University of
Maryland mentor, oils up his 1927
football machine he will find that
few parts are missing, and that he
will work with a squad seasoned by
the strenuous campaign this season.
Only two regulars and pair of
substitutes are lost to the varsity
team, Gilbert Dent. left end. and
Capt. Mike Stevens, of the educated
toe, having played their last game
in Byrd uniforms. The subs who
are leaving are Boyd, reserve quar-
terback, and Rothgeb, center.
Both Dent and Stevens will be
missed, but Curly has number
of good fIankers available. and
will be hit hardest by the
graduation Of Stevens.
Many football followers are
strongly of the opinion that Stevens
is good enough to make practically
any football team. His playing in
the Hopkins contest was revela-
ton and his lightning-like darts
and precise kicking turned the tide
to the College Parkers.
Stevens had a task calculated
to bother any player in the Hoo
kins game, when with Hopkins
leading, IA to o, he was twice
called on to add the points after
touchdowns to tie the score. Again
in the closing minutes Of the game
he had to "shoot" with dropkick
from the 25-yard line, the result
of the game Ringing on the pre-
cision with which his good left toe
functioned.
How well Stevens succeeded
is State football history. He
simply could not be overlooked
in selecting alI-State football
teams.
Byrd will again attempt an am
bilious schedule next year, but
there Is every confidence at Col
lege Park that the mentor will
again send an excellent team on
the gridiron. Byrd has accom-
plished wonders at University of
Maryland, and his teams exhibit
fine craftsmanship. something even
better than winning.

They are so indispensable to each

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1926-12-16

That Tunney may decide
simply to ignore Gibson's ex-
istence, either as manager or
human being, remains one Of
several possibilities. In fact,
have reason to believe that the
champion is quite satisfied with
his present management, since
It is being done solely by him
self. Gibson doesn't even know
where his man may be found
from one week to another.

Poor Tor Distance.

The year 1927-2S will be the poor est for distance since 1922, says Dr. J. II. Dellinger. chief of the radio ! laboratory of the Bureau of Stan dards. After this period reception will improve until 1888. Dr. Dellinger bases his views on the sun spot cycle of Il years. He says:
 "The last sun spot minimum was in 1922, and it would be inferred, therefore, that radio reception was at its best then. From 1922, recep- ton should have been progressively worse until about 1928 when condi- tions should improve to their best in 1933."
