Weird Dances Held
By Pawnee Indians

The Pawnee Indians, who lived in
the region which is now Oklahoma,
held ceremonial religious rites that were
very weird and often cruel Once year
the medicine men of the Pawnees held
a dance from the medicine lodge which
was expected to drive disease from the
village In the darkness Of the grass
covered lodge the dance was started
by a leader who was supposedly the
sea monster who was the founder Of
the medicine.
The dancers pretended they were ami
mails and moved around the sea monster
in the order Of their sacredneSs: First,
the loon, and the owl, the deer, the
fawn, the beaver following, and last
came ghost man, his body notified
with white paint and a skull face on
his breast.
The Skidi band of Pawnees had a
sacrifice of a maiden to the morning
star which took place once every three
or five years, when Mars was the morn
ing star. 1t symbolized the overcom-
ing of the evening star by the morning
star. They believed 1t drove away evil
influence to sacrifice a girl who was
captured from an enemy tribe.

The Jasmine.

This is one of the classical flowers of
India, and it also appears constantly
in religious paintings. Its star-shaped
blossom Is the symbol of divine hope,
and 1t Is often found in paintings of
the Madonna beside roses and lilies,
and in other pictures forming crowns
for saints and angels. Tradition says
that the jasmine was originally pink.
but on the night Of the crucifxion,
when many flowers died of broken
hearts, it turned white from grief and
pain.

shears. Then paste this over a sheet
of heavy tin and cut out the tin to the
same shape with pair of tin shears.
Get small box, either round, square
or oblong and about an inch deep.
Punch two holes in opposite sides of
the box and run wire through, so that
about one-fourth of an inch of each

or bottle covers or caps, punch holes
in their centers and put in place on
the wire. Then solder them fast The
wire will turn with the wheels.
To finish the racer, cut two narrow
tin strips for the shafts, solder them
to the sides of the box, then attach to
the animal with small rivet as shown.

The performer exhibits a long, I'M
tapered cork and hands 1t to q specta-
tor, asking him If he can drop 1t on the
table from height Of about four inches
so that 1t will fall and remain upright.
The spectator takes the cork and, in
variably, he attempts to perform the
feat by dropping the cork gently on the
end. Dropped in this fashion, however,
the cork always makes a tantalizing
rebound and falls over on its side
The correct way to perform the
effect is to drop the cork horizontally
so that it viii fall sidewise on the table;
then on the rebound 1t will jump up to
the desired upright position.

The Kitchenette
BY AUNT HELEN.

Warning This corner is for girls
and for girls only-unless some boys
who like to cook happen to steal in
when we aren't looking! OF course, all
girls like to cook. especially such won
derful dishes as I am going to tell you
about from week to week.
In fact, that's the whole purpose OF
this department. Each week I'll tell
you how to make tasty sandwiches. or
q yummy kind of candy, or appettzing
cookies or something else. And Sug-
gest that you start right now to save
these recipes. Clip them from the
paper as they appear.
To keep your recipes, you can either
file the clippings in ordinary envelopes
marked Candies" Cookies" Sand
wiches," and so on, or, better still, copy
them on index cards, by inches, and
file them In a wooden box. These cards
and boxes may be obtained in any sta
tionery store.
I know we're going to have an aw-
fully good time making these wonder
full things, and I'd be glad to have
any girl send good recipe to me so
that I can pass it along to other read
ers. Just write out your recipe clearly
and address it to Aunt Helen, Room
$40, 44O South Dearborn street, Chi
cage, Ill.
And now I'm going to give you, as
a starter, particularly good recipe
for fudge.
BROWN SUGAR FUDGE.
Two cups brown sugar.
Two-thirds cup milk.
One tablespoon butter.
Two tablespoons grated chocolate.
Heat the sugar and milk and add
the chocolate, stirring constantly.
When the mixture begins to boil, add
the butter. Boil and stir until it forms
a soft ball when dropped into cold
water, add a teaspoon vanilla and pour
into buttered tins. Mark into squares
when cool.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK. March 23.--Public par
ticipation in the Curb Market con-
tinued at an enormous pace again to-
day with the stock recording instru-
ment taxed to keep pace with trans
actions on the floor. If 1t had been
expected that sentiment would be ad-
yersely influenced by the increase in
brokers' loans reported after the close
Yesterday. these anticipations were not
borne out by the action Of the main
body of stocks.
To say that the demand was coming
merely from the professional element
favoring further price appreciation
would have been far fetched There
was a genuine desire on the part OF
outside public TO obtain its share OF
profit out of the greatest and most pro-
longed bull market in the history OF
Wall Street.
u. S. Battery FavOrite.
There were the usual favorites select
ed for leadership. They included today
u. S. Battery. up points at l02, new
high. It's strength apparently was in
further response to the favorable earn
ings statement recently published. The
market for Doehler Casting had the
highly optimistic statement attributed
to the president TO the effect that first
quarter operations were the largest
in the history Of the company. The
drop of l3 points yesterday in CaSein
Co. of America stock proved to have
been the result of nothing more than
a desire to take down profits following
the previous sharp upturn and the price
moved upward again today.
United Light a. Power class "A" and
American Super-Power issues were most
attractive among medium priced utill-
ties. while American Gas g. Electric
assumed leadership of the high-priced
shares.
United Electric Coal went to new
high.
Deere Common Rises.
Deere common continued to discount
prospects of more liberal dividend treat
ment for share owners. Certainly there
was no other reason why a Sc dividend
payer should be selling into new high
ground just under 800. Expected re-
capitalization of the financial structure
also was the basis for the buying of
Safeway Stores, up 13 points TO 435.
Marconi Co, of Canada continued TO
be turned over in enormous volume and
at somewhat better prices. There were
no immediate developments in the
affairs of the company besides those
already known, but the important buy
ing appeared 10 be coming from inter-
ests with an eye TO the distant future.

the number OF men, the kind Of uniform
and the number OF buttons they should
wear. That's their authority. The End
Member for Christiansted Town says
that they are instructed not to interfere
in such disturbances. If that is true It
is a fraud.
End Member for Christlansted Town
(Cbdbert): Mr.. Chairman, in order to
clear up this aspersion on the Police | ask
that the matter be investigated. Is there
anyone here who can give information?

repeated Oy every succeeding Governor,
that in case where there are dlstur Dances

they cannot perform their duty as they
