APACHES WILL
DANCE AS new
HIGHWAY OPENS

| For the first time in the history of
the FIT. Apache reservation at white
river the White Mountain Apache In
dians will do their devil dance off the
reservation when 1875 of them partici-
pate in this sacred ceremony at Han
nagan's Meadows June 1920 when the
/ Clifton Springerville highway, 124
miles in length, through the Apache
national forest, will be formally open
ed and dedicated as "The Coronado
| Trail"
| This fact was made known by Alvin
| Becker of Springerville, chairman Of
the program committee, following a
conference with Agent Charles L. Da-
Wis of the reservation and Apache In
dian chiefs. The Indians expressed g.
desire to attend the fiesta, which is
considered Of national Importance, and
do their part in an event which marks
the beginning of new era of life in
| the. Apache national forest, before the
building of the Colorado Trail as a
motor road was isolated and known
only to those using saddle horse and
pack animal.
| The Indians also agreed to put on
the contrast as between these dances
and their ancient ceremony, the
Apache Indian devil Dance which is
an appeal to the evil spirit to remain
| away from the marriageable girls Of
the tribe so that they may continue
F.! in the protection of the Good Spirit,
The devil dance begins at sundown
and continues through the night un-
til sunrise. 1t is a wierd, fantastic
affair done ito the beat of tom toms
in the glow of bonfires.
The Indians ask nothing for their
services except thei respect of the
white people, Mr. Becker reported.
On behalf of the association promot-
ing the celebration, Mr.. Becker as
sured Mr.. Davis and the chiefs that
the association appreciates too deeply

A Happy Match.
M the Atlanta journal.

From the Atlanta journal.
IL grows daily more evident that
no field of endeavor hitherto held
sacred to masculine exploitation is to
he safe from feminine invasion.
Those of US who have witnessed the
efforts of girls to throw ball have
had little cause to suspect that a
girl would ever enter the ranks of
the discus hurlers and set a new
national mark But that is just
what Lillian Copeland. a coed of the
University of California. has done.
Lillian, apparently but IS, a husky.
wideeyed schoolgirl, danced on her
toes and sent the discus on Il journey
of "a feet inches.
In all probability she will be mar
ried some day. 1t is to be hoped that
the hero who takes the chance will
possess what the story writer's call
a charmed life. Think of an angry
woman, stove plate in hand, and with
the ability to hurl it 90-odd feet.
The Journal Is not a matchmaker,
nor does It. conduct a matrimonial
department, but the eternal fitness
of things appeals overwhelmingly at
all times, and never more than in
this issue. The day Lillian scored
her great victory in California. Gyp
Locke, d New Jersey boy, broke the
world record for q 100-yard dash.
Life has clearly answered it's own
question. There is no reason why
Mr.. and Mrs. Gyp Locke should not
survive a marriage experience for
many a year. Or at least as long as
Mr.. Locke can hold a stove lid an
even race.

Life-Saving Parachutes.

Parachutes have again saved the
lives Of aviators who crashed in mid
air. Flying high over Langley Field
Va. recently two Army birdmen
were performing intricate maneuvers
when at 5000 feet their planes came
together With perfect Judgment
both men jumped out. pulled the
cords releasing their parachutes and
fioated gracefully to the ground.
Thus. instead of a frightful trag-
edy, the crash resulted simply in an
other demonstration of the advances
that are being made in aviation safe
ty. A few years ago both partici-
pants would have been killed: today
both are saved. Parachutes have now
taken their place as essential equip
ment for all flyers, and. as time goes
on. countless aviators will owe their
lives to the seemingly frail 'um-
brella" which folds UP neatly into a
small pack.

Alexander +. Moore of Pittsburgh
former Ambassador TO Spain, who was
White House guest this week, has
just come back from continent-Wide

visited virtually every section of the
country, including the Pacific Coast.
The understanding is that he toured
the Union as a scout for President
Coolidge and the Republican national
committee. MOOre'S friends in Wash
ington have received the impression
that he brought back reaSsurinE It'd
ings TO the squire Of the White
House. He found Coolidge sentiment
still running at high tide. There are

When the Amundsen Mobile air
ship Norge started out on its dash
for the Pole, it went. everybody will
remember, by way of Russia, and
tarried in the clouds above Moscow
and Leningrad. American aviation
authorities have recently learned the
secret of that detour from Italy to
the Arctic. The Italian dirigible
manufacturers expect Soviet Russia
one of these days to be a considerable
purchaser of airships for military and
civilian purposes. So they decided
to show the red rulers what they
have in the way of a sample. The
Norge, by the way, is pronounced
as if it were spelled "Nor-yeh." At
least that's the way a Norwegian
would say it. The word means Nor
way.

contest the Vermont Republican SEN
atorial nomination with Senator
Porter III. Dale has eliminated from

time director general of the Pan
American Union. Until Stickney en-
tered the race, Barrett was an avowed
candidate. But he thinks that the
one time chief executive of the Green
Mountain State SO satisfactorily per-
sonifies Coolidge policies that Bar
rett's own candidacy has become un-
necessary. A mistaken impression
prevails that Senator Dale is anti
Coolidge His friends recall that
there wasn't more effective stump
speaker for the President in 1924
than Dale. He placed himself at the
disposal of the Republican national
committee and proved an effective
campaigner. One of his specialties
was to rouse the rabble with the story
about the lamp-light oath that Cool
idge took in his fathers Vermont
farmhouse in the dawn of August g,

The TWo-Thirds Rule.

\ move for change of Democratic
convention rules of procedure has been
definitely started by followers of both
McAdoo and Smith. looking forward to
the nominating contest of 1928. An
exchange of kilograms between two
national committeeman, respectively
advocates of the two chief contenders
Of 1924, indicates that the question is
being seriously considered with the
view of preventing another deadlock.
1t is proposed to abolish both the two
thirds and the unit rules. leaving every
delegate free to vote as he wishes,
majority vote determining the conven-
tons choice.
If indeed there is concurrence be-
tween the McAdoo and the Smith fol-
lowers on this subject, change may
be effected in season for the 1928 con-
Vention. 1t does not, however, follow
that because individual supporters of
these two past and prospective rivals
for the nomination are now in agree
ment on this score the Democratic,
national committee, which has much
10 say--in fact, most to say-on the
subject, will accede. and indeed it may
turn out tcat there are many inf1uen-
tial followers of McAdoo and Smith
who do not agree to the change.
The two-thirds rule is long-stand-
ing, almost fundamental, principle of
the Democratic party. It was adopted
first at the Baltimore convention Of
1882 in the following language:
That each State be entitled, in the
nomination to be made Of a candidate
for the vice presidency, to a number
of votes equal in number to which
they will be entitled in the electoral
colleges, under the new apportionment,
in voting for President and Vice Pres.

effort to remedy this situation and has
issued orders for policemen to write u
detailed report Of each mishap.
A thorough analysis of the charts
will undoubtedly bring many interest
ing Acts to light and in some cases
it will be possible to devise reguia-
tions which will either lessen or en-
tirely eradicate evils which have here
tofore escaped notice.
OF course, it is impossible to legis'
late good common sense and Judg-
ment into some of the motorists IN
Washington, and so skidding and reck-
less driving casualties will doubtless
continue to pile up, but if it is found,
for instance. that a large percentage
of accidents is caused by another cpl
demic of glaring headlights. plans can
be worked out to attack the problem.
Washington streets are daily becom-
ing more congested and it behooves
every motorist to drive with the ut
most care and consideration. 1t is
a IlIlN Itdtlbtd IdNis but ttC
word consideration has a tremen-
dous bearing on the smooth and fric-
tionless traffic that is the ideal OF
every person.
Consideration. as applied TO traffic,
means primarily that no motorist
should act the part of road hog;
that no motorist should refuse to give
way to a passing vehicle and that
every motorist should be courteous
and respect the rights of the other
users of the street.
There would be fewer accidents if
the motoring fraternity adopted
consideration for it's slogan. There
would be less speeding TO get by" on
narrow streets, less argument at in
tersections as to right of way and less
fast driving out of alleys and interfer'
ence to legitimate through traffic.

Why Canada Is Interested.
From the Vancouver Sun.

From the vancouver sun.
Every few days this newspaper re-
ceives letters from good friends ask.
ing why we are SO interested in the
morals, manners and relationships OF
United States.
The reason the Vancouver Sun is
interested and why the people of
Canada are interested in American
events is because United States rapid
lv growing population points to an
ever-increasinG American influence
upon Canadian life.
Today the population of United
States is estimated at 117,135,817.
Last years growth is fixed at 1,757.-
723. over q period of six and a halt
wears, this population has increased
11.425.197. This means that United
States population is increasing to the
extent of nearly 100000 year
Twenty years from now, the Amer.
lean people will probably number lit
tie short of 160,000,000
Unfortunately, Canada'S population
for the past 10 years has remained
practically stationary, and, because of
that, Canadians are not fully con
scious of the leaps and bounds by
which Americans are increasing their
population. They are not fully con
scious of the tremendous national
force that is growing up just beyond
an imaginary line.
For veal or for woe, the 1T 100000
of United States are bound to have
a stupendous influence on the 9 ,000, ,00(
of Canada.

The Accident Report.

Traffic Director Eldridge will make
1 intensive study of the monthly Po-
lice Department accident report in
order that regulations may be promul-
gated which will, to some extent, cut
down the alarming total. Full reports
will be required from each policeman
concerned in an accident and Mr.. Ed
ridge is hopeful that some means will
be found whereby a reduction can be
effected.
For the first four months of the
current year the report shows that
the total number of accidents was
1.451. Skidding and reckless driving
caused % per cent of this number. In
rs per cent property damage was
done, this damage ranging from %
per cent amounting to less than $40
and 10 per cent more than $100.
The significant part of the report.
however, and the reason for the new
policy of the traffic Office, is that in
more than half of the total number of
cases no cause for the accident was
given by the police. Maj. Hesse is
cooperating with the director in an
