Larimores Return
From Smoki Dance

Mr.. and Mrs r. c. Larimore of
Sonoita and Mrs. j. D. Colquette of
Eureka, California, have just re-
, turned from trip to Prescott where
they were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Grubb during the original
Smoki dances.
Mr.. Grubb is a high priest of the
tribe as well as a leader in the
snake dance. The habits and Gus
toms of the tribe are faithfully por-
trayed by the few remaining men,
bers of fast disappearing race,
showing the Indian marriage cere-
mony among other customs. The
final appeal is to their diety for
abundant rains to insure crop,
using enormous live snakes as their
messengers of prayer.
To see these snakes strike time
after time at the eyes and faces of
the dancers around whose necks
they are coiled is thrilling to say
the least, but in no way stops the
Indians frenzied appeal for enough
rain for the growing crops.
Each year trusted members of the
tribe travel far back over the high
mesas in hopes of acquiring older
and more potent prayers and ap-
peals than those now in possession
of the younger generation in hopes
that these older appeals to the rain
Gods may have additional weight
and be instrumental in assuring the
tribe Of more and better crops with
which to nourish a fast declining
race and return it to it's position
of strength and fearlessness of
hundreds of years ago when they
(the Smokis) were the most feared
Of all the tribes of the Southwest.
After the ceremonies are over,
members of the tribe carefully
transport the snakes to certain To-
calities where gophers and other
food suitable for them, abound, and
liberate them there.
One snake having been identified
by certain marking has been caught
and used in no less than three diff
ferent ceremonies.
In view of the fact that moving
pictures of this dance has been
cenSured to an extreme nothing like
the original has ever been seen out
side the Indian village, where owing
to well arranged seating facilities,
the entire dance can be witnessed
without fear or discomfort, and
where the visitor is assured of the
most courteous treatment he could
possibly wish for by the most hos
pitable people imaginable. whose
first and last wish seems to be, to
make the visitor feel welcome and
to show their appreciation of his
attendance.

The Answer Is Mo-

When the Garfield public lands commission meets
in Washington on Nov 10 it will seek to answer these
two important questions:
l. Shall the government turn its public domain
to the several western public lands states to adj
minister, President Hoover suggests?
g. Shall the government abandon its reclamation
policies, suggested by certain eastern farmers?
The proposal to turn back to the states 100000
acres of public lands-minus, of course, timber and
mineral resources-s laden with danger The sparse
1y settled public lands states are for the most part
stock-raisng states. If the state governments con-
troed the grazing lands the big stockmen soon would
have control of state governments and the land. 49,
AS poorly as these lands now are administered, they
would be exploited and ruined faster under the sug
gested change If Uncle Sam is not conserving these
lands properly he should ask for money to do
He can not wash his hands of responsibility by a
gesture.
AS to abandoning federal reclamation, it should be
remembered that the federal projects in the fifteen
states where the government has helped turn the
desert into farming cover only tiny part Of
the billion acres of United States farm area.
The crops raised there do not compete generally
with eastern farmers but consist mostly of sugar
beets winter vegetables, fruit and alfalfa The rich
little settlements thus created form buying market
for eastern products.
Last year the seventeen projects bought $120000-
600 worth of goods. While not materially contributing
to the farm surplus they adding millions to the
nations wealth
Sudden expansion of rural areas of course, is I'M
wise at this time. but complete abandonment of the
reclamation program would be folly.

That Scientific Holiday

An interesting debate has been going in the
columns of the New York Times between Sir Arthur
Keith and Gilbert Cheserton as to the desiraby of
declaring scientific holiday The question posed is
whether it would be wise for science to suspend
further investigation and the application of its find
ings until society catch its breath and adjust itself
to such scientific progress already has been made
Sir Arthur strongly opposes the proposition, while
Mr. Chesterton gives it his qualified support.
The arguments pro and con are interesting, but
practically they are purely academic. Obviously,
science is not going to take holiday. Human
curiosity, the zeal to acquire knowledge the en-
thusiasm of the investigator the pecunary encourage
ment given by industry to invention and the like will
keep science going full blast.
The discoveries of the next century are likely to
make the achievements of the last hundred years seem
like child's play.
Yet the problem implied in the proposal of a
scientific holiday is vital We already are like
man with one leg in airplane and the other in
an ox-cart. Our technology is 1881 model, our in
stitutons and ideas many of them of B. c. vintage,
with few of even nineteenth century origin If such is
the case today what will be plight in the year
2OO02
The fact u.s. then that we must look for social
salvation not to less science but to greater appca
ton of science to human affairs Our social institu
tions and moral notions must not be left to depend
upon superstition custom, prejudice, and convention,
while technology gobbes up avidly the latest
discovery of the laboratory.
Social engineering then is the great challenge Of
time Unemployment crime, divorce. birth con-
troll, world peace public utilities all fit in subor
dinate details in the larger task of applying science
and esthetics vigorously to the solution Of current
ills.
Nothing less than social reconstruction this
scale and by these methods will suffice.
Of one thing we may be certain. Either science
must be promoted and applied resoutely to human
problems, or it is merely matter of time when
industrial civilization will collapse and the Franken-
stein monster will prove victorious his maker.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The respirator is a sheer metal
tank equipped with comfortable bed
and mattress. The patients head is
outside, passing through flat rub
Der collar attached to the body of
the machine.
BY means of electrically driven
blowers and appropriate valve ar
rangement, the air pressure inside
the tank is changed alternately from
a little below negative pressure to
normal air pressure.
AS a result, the patients chest and
diaphragm expand and air is in
hailed. without having the pump
stopped, the patient can eat, drink,
and sleep while in the device.
Portfolios are available for giving
treatments and removing eXcretions.
Sometimes it is desirable to remove
the patient briefly to change the
position, and thus to prevent con-
gestion of the lower part Of the body.
BY June, 1880, there we're twelve
of these devices in use in New York
and two in Boston for grown-ups,

men and possessing the broad knowledge necessary
for their solution.
Only less important it that the secretary of labor
shall be skilled in the problems of immigration. The
secretary administers all immigration laws and all
those relating to Naturalization he directs depora

border patrols
In addition the secretary supervises the work of
the federal government in behalf of women and chill

SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

Sirius, the Dog Star Is 2S
Times as Bright as ON.
Sun; Vega is so Times as
Bright.
THE astronomer spends much
i time measuring and recording
the brightness of different stars,
known technically as their apparent
magnitude. The brightest stars are
first magnitude stars. the next
group comprise the second magni-
tude stars, and so on.
Measurements Of apparent magni-
tude, however, constitute prelim-
mary step only in the study Of the
stars. OF much greater importance
is the stars real brightness.
A star which appears bright in
the sky may appear so for two rea-
sons. 1t may be a star of medium
brightness which is closer to us than
most stars. or il may be a very
bright star at an average distance
from us.
Similarly, very faint star may
appear faint because it is actually
faint or because it is extremely far
away.
The real brightness Of q star is
called its absolute magnitude by the
astronomer. It will be seen at once
that to ascertain the absolute mag
nitude Of a star, we must know two
things, its apparent magnitude and
its distance from the earth.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-11-08
RANGE of Stars

TINE faintest star which has been
Il measured up to the present is
one to which attention was called
by Van Maanen of the Mt. Wilson
observatory.
Because this star exhibited very
rapid motion, he was sure that 1t
was relatively close to the earth,
and that it therefore would be pos
sible to measure its distance. This.
Of course, was a necessary prelude
to ascertaniing its absolute nagni-
tude.
Calculations show that this star,
known in the stellar catalogues as
Wolf $50, is only one fifty-thou-
sandth as bright as our sun.
Astronomers suspect that there
are stars whose true brightness IS
even less than this, but actual de-
examinations have not been made,
due to the difficulties of measur-
ing their distances from the earth.
Similarly, there undoubtedly are
many stars brighter than Campus,
whose brightness as previously
stated, is 10000 times that of the
sun. But most of the stars which
are suspected Of being still brighter
are so far away that their distances
can not be determined.
There are methods, however. by
which the distance of very distant
cluster of clouds of stars may be
obtained, treating the cluster as a
unit.
From these measurements, as
trononers calculate that the star
S. Doradus, in the Greater Magel-
Ianic Cloud. is 100000 times as
bright as our sun.
The known range of absolute
magnitude in stars. therefore, runs
from 100000 times as bright as our
sun to one f1fty-thousandth as
bright.

MoNTANA,s STATEHOOD

MONTANA'S STATEHOOD
November s.
I'm Nov. 8, 1889, after a state
~ Constitution had been framed
and state officers elected, Montana
was admitted to the Union by
proclamation Of the President.
Joseph K. Toole, a Democrat, was
the first Governor of Montana.
In the first national election in
1892, Montana went Republican,
and, except for the years 1896 and
1900, when there was a fusion of
Democrat and Populist elements,
the state has been Republican since,
Montana suffered for several
years from industrial troubles,
which conferred about Butte and
other cities where labor was at a
standstill for considerable time.
Ranking third in size among the
states of the Union, Montana has
an area of 146,997 square miles, of
which 796 miles are under water.
The picturesque Glacier National
park, in northeastern Montana. has
an area of $4,000 acres, eighty
glaciers ranging from five square
miles down to few acres, and more
than $50 lakes.

Sun Is OutShone

CALCULATIONS of absolute
~ magnitude. arrived at by con-
siderations of relative magnitude
and distance. as indicated. reveal
that many Of the stars outshine our
own sun many times.
If our own sun we're removed to
the average distance of the stars, 1t
would constitute one Of the very in
conspicuous members of the heav-
ems.
A familiar star which almost
everyone knows is Sirius, the dog
star. 1t is the brightest appearing
star in the heavens. Actually. Sirius
is twenty eight times as bright as
our sun.
But many of the stars which do
not appear as bright as Sirius &C
tually are much brighter This is
because they are so very much fur
ther away than is Sirius.
Vega, the brilliant white star
which can be found almost over
head in the constellation OF Lyra,
actually is fifty times as bright IS
our sun, while Arcturus is 100 times
as bright as our sun.
But there are giant stars still
brighter than these Campus is ac-
tually 10000 times as bright as our
sun.
1t will be seen, therefore, that
there are many stars far brighter
than our sun. However, there are
also many stars which are not as
bright.
Recent statistical studies reveal
that there are more stars which are
less bright than our sun than there
are stars which are brighter than
our sun.
