The chief provisions Of the labor

in readiness when the necessity re-

government for one month at what
ever task the authorities assign.
In general the employers object to

WEIRD INDIAN
SNAKE RITES
DRAW THRONES
$500 White Persons Are
Expected to Witness
Sacred Ceremony.

BN United Press
WINSLOW, Ariz., Aug. pa
strange cavalcade wound its way
northward across the Painted Desert
Thursday.
Bound for Walpi, fifteen miles
from here, a group Of writers, scien"
fists and tourists, travelling in auto
mobiles, were looking forward to
witnessing the weird rites Of the
snake dance performed by the Hopi
Indians, which is to occur today at
sunset.
It is a scene repeated each August
when news Of the date Of the
strangest Of all North American
tribes religious ceremonial becomes
known.
Annually, the number Of white
persons journeying to Walpi is in
creasing and this year, $500 are ex-
pected to witness the sacred dances
in which writhing rattlesnakes play
an important part.
Dance With Reptiles
The dance will be climax
of five days Of ceremonials in
which Hopis call upon the gods of
rain for moisture to insure bounti-
full crops.
Antelope and snake priests of two
clans of Hopi tribe are the central
figures in the rites. The sacred
water and cornmeal and the sacred
pipe, the smoke of which is sup
posed to ascend to the heavens to
release the rain, all play an i'm
portant part in the ceremonial, but
the dance Of the priests with an
arnful of live reptiles proves the
most fascinating to white specta-
tors.
Hopi Tribe Is Friendly
The final stages of the rites is
when the priests dance away from
the altar, where chanting and pray
ing has been going on since sunrise
five days before, carrying the rat
tlesnakes, which then are released
on the summit of what is known as
Second Mesa"
The following three days are
given over to merrymaking and
feaSting.
For decades the Hopi Tribe has
permitted the white man to view
the most significant of all religious
rites, for the Hopis were among the
earliest friendly Indians when the
whites came into the west.
Walpi is the heart of a vast ter
ritory where few forms of white
civilization have reached. There are
scattered missions and trading posts
where the government Indian
agents carry the white mans law.

DOWNIE BROS. CIRCUS HERE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
Entirely New and Bigger Than Ever
Free Street Parade at Noon

Acclaimed by press and public
along their entire route as a truly
high class, clean, moral and refined
a circus as has ever been present
ed, Downie Bros. Circus will make
its annual visit to Milford on Tues
day, September II. Advancing with
the times Downie Bros. have discard
ed the usual high scale of prices that
one has been in the habit of paying
for this kind of amusement and have
dropped back to the old pre-war
prices of 25 and so cents for general
admission at either performance.
This welcome accomplishment
was brought about by the modern
and economical mode of transporta-
tion they employ, namely the motor
trucks. Downie Bros. no longer
travel on their train but instead
have fleet of motor cars that move
them, bag and baggage, from coast
to coast and back again each sea-
son. This modern method has
proven so successful that they
were enabled to deliver an even
higher calibre performance at the
reduced rate than before at the
higher scale.
However to get to the show part
of it let it be said here and now
that in all so great feature acts
make up the programme.

zone of the most interesting and
startling developments in the entire
history of the automobile" says Mr..
Robert Weir, Jr., local branch man
ager of the Sun Oil Company, "hap-
pened two or three years ago-and
happened so quietly that vast ma
jority of today's drivers have failed
to grasp the tremendous significance
of the event.
81 REFER" continued Mr.. Weir, "to
the high compression motor now be-
ing built into almost every car. In
the old style motor there was plen-
ty of room in the explosion chamber
between the piston and the top of
the cylinder. But in the modern
motor this space has been so de-
creased that it is often as little as
the thickness of a dime.
"And it is here" Mr.. Weir went
on, "between the piston and the CYL
inder that hard carbon forms. Hard
carbon is formed, in the beginning,
by high engine heat which forces
out and cakes the paraffine cylinder
stock found in most motor oils.
This collects dirt and gradually
hardens into a solid finty mass that
causes loss of power, warped valve
stems, knocking, pre-ignition and
other annoying and expensive re-
pairs.
But, concluded Mr.. Weir with
smile, "the motorist who uses Sun
oco Motor Oil is able to avoid all
these hard carbon troubles. For
fortunately, Sunoco is wholly dis
titled oil and contains no paraffine.
It is a common thing for us to be
told of cars that have gone thirty,
forty and even fifty thousand miles
without the necessity of having car
bon removed, through the exclusive
use of Sunoco Motor Oil."-Advt.
