Educators and laymen have beel

Educators and laymen have been
trying to solve that problem ever since
its acuteness became recognized.
Abysmal failure has greeted every ef-
fort thus far to grapple with the prob
lem. Many continue in their efforts,
half-heariedly, unwilling TO admit that
their mission is ended, that success is
impossible. The Menorah Movement
has been crawling along for the last
five years in helpless and pathetic
state of apathy. Its leaders still strive
valiantly to achieve those ends EN-
blazoned so gloriously on its program
when 1t was first launched. In fact,
the Menorah leaders have attempted to
meet the university Jew on his own
grounds. They have tried sophistica-
tion. they have attempted satire: they
have INDUCED in rationalism. But it
seems impossible TO keep Jews in the
fold once they enter the portals of II

IDAHO INDIANS PLAN SUN DANCE
First in Four Years Will Start Saturday Morning

Pocatelli, Idaho. July IS GD - With the rising sun Saturday morn ing, the stalwart bucks of the Sho- shone and Bannock Indian tribes win begin the first sun dance on the Fort Hall reservation in four years.
 Indians began to assemble at the big bend of the Portneuf river, ten miles west of Pocatello yesterday.
 The high priests of the two tribes will for three days supervise the ritualistic dance. which for hun dreds of years was believed to be the means of insuring the warriors against physical defects and pro- noting spiritual perfection.
 During the entire three days, no food will pass the lips of the dancers. but water, made pure by the Sun God, will be sparingly al- lowed. The dancers are not per mitted to rest. and must dance con- tinuously.
 The sun dance was forbidden by law for the reason that it had been the practice of the participants to slit the chest muscles and insert deer sinews therein. Dancers would then suspend themselves by these sinews and remain in that position until either their muscles or the sinews gave way.

No Action by Builders,
 Hennessy Being Dropped

Members of the newly formed as- sociation of builders who gathered Tuesday night at the Chamber of Commerce offices for the purpose of drafting a recommendation that F. U. Hennessy be retained as deputy building inspector and protesting the proposed appointment of o. F. Curtis to that post. took no action, Hennessy having been dropped sev- eral hours prior to the meeting time.
 A formal protest against Curtis was proposed but on recommenda- ton of a member of the association this was decided against to prevent action which might place the organ lization before the public as a politi- cal body, it was explained.
 The meeting was arranged among members of the newly formed build CTS association although there was no call issued by the president | Eugene r. Dyson.
