BARRIO PASCUA, Ariz., April
19.-(U.H-A scene haif-pagan, half
civilized, was enacted in this little
Indian village today as the first
rays of the sun appeared from the
east.
Two hundred painted braves of
the Yaqui tribe swaved and stamp
ed through the baroaric death
dance to the beating of tom toms
and the shrill notes of the reed
flute.
All through the night, these
dancing braves had gone through
the intricate steps around glowing
campfires ahd the crude cotton
wood bier containing small statue
of Christ.
AS the appearance of the sun
caused the drummers to decrease
the pace set for the dancers, a faint
murmur of soft monosyllables reach
ed the dancing circle from a group
of squaws and the young.

dancer fall exhausted to the ground
He, too, sank into worried sleep

A few hours later found the village
in a hustle. Fresh greenery had re
placed the black of the day before
The mourners appeared in full
force and the Yaqui braves resum

the aged, the squaws anu the young

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WEEK WILL BE
OBSERVED HERE
Parents Urged To Visit
Rooms And Aid Com
petition For Prizes

Next week is designated as Public
Schools Week, and all over the state
of California especial effort is be-
ing made by fraternal and civic or
ganizations to bring the general
public to the realization of the fact
that the public schools of Califor-
MIA are the "Best in the World"
Accordingly, plan is being follow
ed in the Ell Centre District which
proved very successful last year,
and which, through personal vista
tions of the schools by parents and
others, seems to bring the schools
into very close contact with the
public.
The plan to be followed for the
week includes a competition of Wis.,
itations on the part of the several
rooms of each of the city schools
and on the part Of the schools in
the rural districts. Eleven pictures
have been secured and are at pres
ent on display in several of the
show windows in the business dis
trict of Ell Centre. The pupils ar.
all very enthusiastic over the win
ming of a picture for their respect
i've rooms, and with this enthusiasm
it is certain that hundreds of visit
ors will pass through the schools
during the coming week. 1t is es-
pecially desired that persons OBJ
, serve the displays of work done by
the pupils, the conduct of recita-
tions, and the efficiency with which
this largest of organizations is run.
The most modern and approved
methods are being used throughout.
Another thing of Importance is for
each visitor to sign the register in
the room visited or, in the case of
the rural schools, the school visit
ed.
Entertainments Planned
Visitations of the schools will
continue all week ending on Friday
night in two entertainments, one at
the high school in which students of
the high school, junior college, and
the rural schools will take part, and
one at the Wilson school conducted
by the elementary schools of the
city. The Eastside schol is to have
something every evening and short
play on Thursday evening. At these
entertainments the, prize pictures
will be awarded to the winning
rooms or schools. 1t is particularly
requested that the service clubs
make especial effort to have theil
members visit the schools both il
the morning and afternoon of the
day of their respective meetings
The fraternal organizations are
urged to visit prior to their meet
iings and make reports at their meet
ings.
The pictures are to be warded to
the rooms or schools on a strict per
centage basis of scoring so that the
small room and the large room have
equal chances. The winning rooms
can feel that they have succeeded
in salesmanship in selling the visit
ations to their parents and friends.
Watch the Press every day for the
scores to date and for the name of
the captains selected to represent
their room or schools.

George Kelly was a victim of his
own disposition when he joined the
Giants a few years ago. 1t took
him two or three seasons to find
himself and forget the howlS and
the ballyhoo and the cheers. Once
he did it he was a great balplayer,
but until he did life was certainly
tough.
Occasionally fellows come along
who get by for awhile on their
fighting spirit alone. Wild Mat
thews, who used to be with the AS
ard washington, was like that. AS
a ballplayer, Wild wasn't great. But
the excitement of the big league
keyed him up and for a whole
season he played like house afire.
Then he hit his normal stride and
he was soon back in the minors.
incidentally it is disposition that
makes pinch hitters. You know
some fellows, and good htiterS, aren't
worth a nickle as a pinch hitter.
And other chaps whose batting
average is much less, are bearcats
when you send them up there in
pinch. The slow, indifferent type
of hitter who forgets the score and
just goes up there with his whole
mind concentrated on hitting tha4
ball is the ideal type for a pinch
hitter. That's why Bob Meusel was
always SO good in the pinches, and
it was disposition of that sort that
made Moose Mccormick one of the
best pinch hitterS of all time.
