DOLE PLAN WOULD
 NOT AID WORKERS
Davis Says Unemployed Want Work, Not Charity Scheme

Washington, March Pt-As he entered the cabinet meeting today Secretary of Labor Davis said it would be far better" to devote to public building construction the $50,000,00 which Senator Brook hart. republican. Iowa, wants to ap- propriate to aid the unemployed.
 The American workman wants honest employment and a steady job Davis said, not a dole.
 Characterizing the Iowan's pro- posal as well intended" the secra- tary said he did not wish his own views to be regarded as q criticism.
 The sum of S50.O0O00O proposed, Davis added, would not go very far as dole. It would mean only Sl a week for IS weeks to the 3,000,- 900 men estimated to be out of em- ployment.
 Brookhart recently introduced a resolution providing for $50,000.00 to be distributed by the Red Cross to the unemployed.

RIVER DIVERSION

Farmer and Boat Captains Tes. tiiy Before Master

Hartford. Conn. March 1 (CP)- sFloods which roll down the Con- necticut river every spring deposit q fertile layer of silt over low-lying meadow land, Dr. NJ. r. Morgan. soil expert of the Connecticut agricultur- al experiment station at New Haven. testified today at the special masters s hearing into the Connecticut Massa- chusetts water division dispute. The sediment is a gift to farmers which saves them the necessity of using fertilizer. the soil chemist ex- pained. Connecticut's contention is that diversion of the Swift and Ware rivers in Massachusetts would low CT the Connecticut river flood level so that meadow flood lanes would not be flooded,

 Having Large Audiences
 According to word recently re- ceived from them by the Seward Gateway they are now in the East on lecture tour, and are meeting with large and appreciative aud fences everywhere. They will be remembered in Seward because of their Kenai trips. Two cub bears which they picked up in the North arc apparently the life of the lec- ture tour in the States and their antics are source of delight to audiences. As one paper put it:
 Mine hundred people roared with laughter at the antics of two bear cubs, mascots of the Boring Sea expedition, who played the comedy roles in the illustrated lecture, Wild Animal Outposts.'
 Crowded With Experiences
 The F1nleys' summer in the North was crowded with exciting experiences from beginning to end, especially while exploring the vol canic islands along the Aleutian chain From the standpoint of a naturalist one good thing followed another; the rugged country about Mt Mckinley where mountain sheep and caribou graze; Kodiak and Afognak, the haunts of the Alaskan brown bear, which is the biggest of all living carnivorous anil mals; Kenai, the home of the moose, where an old bull charged the camera man; Akutan, the head quarters of the Boring Sea whal- CTS, where pictures of the whales were taken from the masthead; Unimak with it's myriads of sea- fowl crowding the rocks from the tide-land to pinnacle; Bogoslof, the "Jack-in- the-box" of the sea, still steaming and hot with volcanic fires, and yet sheltering the great est colonies of murres and the most extensive rookeries of sea lions in the north, and lastly the Pribilofs, the island outposts of the Bering Sea, with their romantic story of foxes and fur seals.

RAIsA AND RIMINI IN RECITAL

RA1SA AND RIMINI IN RECITAL,
Rosa Raisa, one of the dominant
stars Of the Chicago Grand Opera Co,
and Giacomo Rimini, a leading bari
tone with the same company, appeared
In joint recital at Constitution Hall
last night. The audience was very
large and extremely appreciative, de-
mandlng encores after every selection
and bringing Nine. Raisa out after her
final solo for two popular encores,
Tosti's Goodbye" and the Neapolitan
song, 20 Sole Mic"
1t has been several seasons since
Rosa Raisa has been heard in WASH
ington. She last appeared here with
the Chicago company in opera, which
is, obviously, her forte, rather than
concert work. She showed plainly in
her singing of the operate arias last
night that she has a definite flair for
the dramatic in action as well as in
the quality of her voice. She was not
particularly effective in Verdi's "Bolero,"
but she showed both art and feeling
in her singing of an air from "Piuue
Dame" by Tschaikowsky, and the ia
miliar "Vissi d'Arte," from La Tosca {"
The same was true of the arias from
Norma" and La Gioconda."
Mime. RaiSa's tones were often COL
orful and rounded, but toward the end
OF an extremely taxing program, in
Guiding the numerous encores, her
voice showed the strain somewhat. AL
ways her personality was charming and
gracious. She appeared to advantage,
too, in the duets with her husband,
especially the Donizetti "Pronta 10 son"
and the Mozart la CT darem la Mano. :"
which was the encore.
Mr.. Rimini has rich Italian warmth
in his voice, but is inclined to spoil a
lovely quality with throaty production.
He won a great deal of applause for
his singing Of the "Toreador Song, +"
from Bizets "Carman."
Carol Perrenot was quite evidently
an experienced. If sometimes mechani-
cal, accompanist. She, as we'll as the
singers, seemed to have to take the
first couple of groups of songs to be-
come adjusted to the hall, the pianist
later not playing so loudly as at first
and the enunciation Of the singers
seeming to become much clearer.

DISTRICT WOMAN ADMITTED
TO WEIRD PAWNEE CEREMONY
Miss Frances Densmore of
Smithsonian Institution
Gets Record of Rites.
Second of White Race to Be
Witness of Morning Star
Symbol of Genesis.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The second of the white race ever to
be admitted to the weird and mysterious
Morning Star ceremony of the Pawnee
Indians, Miss Frances Densmore of the
Smithsonian Institution, has secured a
record Of one of the most imaginative
and colorful nature rites and genesis
stories of the American aboriginalS.
Escorted into the sacred lodge and
into the presence of 20 celebrants, whose
half-naked bodies were painted red, the
Washington woman was enabled to Sc
cure the music Of one of the mystical
songs, but she was not allowed to make
monograph record, because it was
considered too sacred by the singers.
Miss Densmore witnessed part of the
rite which, only few generations ago,
was attended by the sacrifice of beau
tiful maiden, but which now. although
regularly celebrated has been greatly
abbreviated. In a few generations it
may disappear entirely, and with it one
of the highest flights of the Indian
in the eternal effort to
explain the mysteries of nature and the
origin and destiny of man.
Like all primitive people, the Pawnees
perSonified nature, endoWing the stars,
the moon. the sun. the earth, the winds,
the clouds. the waters, the light and the
darkness with anthropomorphic per-
sonalitieS. The secret ceremony to
which Miss DenSmore was admitted is
based on the genesis legend.
Courted Star Maidens.
In the beginning. according to this
legend as reported by Miss Densmore
Morning Star ruled in the East and
Evening Star in the West. All the stars
west OF the Milky Way were feminine
ana all to the east were masculine
One by one the stars came out of the
East to court the lovely star maidens
in the West.
When they came, the siren. Moon
met them, welcomed them. and offered
to guide them to the village of heavenly
maldens. She was jealous of the beauty
81 these, and led all their prospective
Suitors to hole she had made in the
sky, through which they fell to earth
ana were killed. Thus the love affairs
u the heavens were in bad way, when
The great Morning Star himself decided
% pay suit to the Evening Star, the
ovely queen of the East.
He took with him his little brother to
larry his pack. Thus, the Indians saw,

oany the rising of Morning Star in the

hopes of Turing the two adventurers to

in the plans which were received by the
officers for their equipment calculations.
