"Death. Drums" Roll in L.
.a Honor of Indian Brave

The 'fDeath Drums of the Iroquois"
rumble over Lake Cayuga and Seneca,
In the heart of the region that once
was the stronghold of the fiercest of
eastern tribesmen.
Out of the dim past, out of thes wig
vans, out of the forests primeval-be-
fore the coming of the white man
came the legend giving the name by
which the unexplained phenomenon is
known to this day. The sounds, not
imagined but real, come In series, sep
arated by irregular intervals, only on
calm days, at time of air stagnation
or in the dead of night, about this
time of the year.
The Senecas explained the weird re-
verberatlons in this legend:
Once there was a Seneca brave,
straight as an arrow, the great Aga
yentah, fierce in battle, kind in peace,
calm at the council fire. One day
near Seneca Castle (now Geneva),
whittier the trail of a bear had led
him, Agayentah rested and took shell
erfrom an approaching storm. Light
ming, the arrow of the Great Hunter,
struck DOM tree and man alike, hurl-
ing both into the water of Seneca lake.
They floated out upon the surface and
not until the sun went down did they
disappear.
And since that time the death
drums" sound as explained in the leg
end, so that the Senecas would never
forget Agayentah, great in battle.
But biologists, no believers In the
supernatural, offer several theories In
explanation of the reverberations. One
is that the booming results from fault
movements-rock beds at or under the
lake bottom slipping past or over each
other. Others suggest that the sound
results from the rise Of bubbles Of gar
originating in the depths Of the Lake
and bursting on reaching the top.
Old Seneca is a lake Of eccentrlci-
sties. 1t is credited with being the
deepest body of water wholly within
the United states, with the single ex-
ception of Lake Michigan. Only four
times in the memory Of white men has
1t frozen over. At 30 feet down 1t
maintains a uniform temperature OF
Z degrees above freezing; frogs and
evaporlzation are almost unknown.
It has been called the most treach-
erous lake in America. With south
wind the lake will change from a mis-
leading calm to an angry roughness
in ten minutes. Waves sometimes roll
higher than a house. Sometimes, de-
spite Its expanse-thirty-slx miles in
length and from two to five miles in
width-it rises or drops as much as
two feet within a few hours.

Makeup" on Rug Simply
Came Off When Washed

In the last seven years tremen-
dous vogue for Samarcand rugs has
arisen In England. Their bold, sim
pllfied designs and rich, strange col
ors At well into n modern room.
Following the fashionable trend, a
lady bought herself a very fine violet
Samarcand, writes Henri PIckard in
the Cincinnati Enquirer. She had
heard that these rugs are apt to be
"doped" so she asked for written
guarantee that this one had not been
chemically treated--that is, artlficlally
faded to make It look antique. She
got the guarantee. Some months later
1t was cleaned. And when II returned,
behold the mauve and turquoise rug
which had gone away came back n
red and white one. .....
The bland person who had supplied
the lady with the rug was not helpful.
He merely murmured that madame
had imagined the original mauveness.
Women were fanclful creatures. lie
could not give madame back her
money, out ne WOuiu eAcnhHBe t1lS
rug for another. This seemed small
rny OF hope, but the lady thought It
best TO take the advice Of a famous
expert on carpets, whose opinion has
often been sought by the South Ken
slngton museum and the Metropolitan
Museum, OF New York.
He was a short, taclturn little gen
tleman who took one look Mt her rug,
another at the guarantee-and told
her that the guarantee was worthless,
because the rug had not been chemical
f, ly treated. It had been most nrilstl-
cally painted In fact, II had simply
been made up" by an artist and when
It's face was washed its NATURAL COM
plexion was revealed.

even about the accident or about any
thing any more. A funny feeling,
strange, shaking, sweet inundated her
for few bewildered seconds and she
lost the thread of the conversation.
"Phil's insured himself because he
wants to marry Lilyi" Edith said to
Gail when they were alone later.

The big court room upstairs was
very hot. Some one had drawn the
shades at the high, old-fashioned win
dows, but they shut out air as well as
sunshine and the atmosphere was almost
insufferable.

pered. Gail nodded arxiously and nerv-
ously. Phil and Edith were with her;
the fifth Lawrence, white and fright
ened, was inside the fence. Dick was
with Ariel; sometimes they whispered
together; often she looked at her
brothers and sisters.
There were few persons in the room,
messengers came and went, men rustled
papers at the dark old leather-covered
tables.

eating nervousness. When Joe Gates,

But she was conscious Of sort of inner

with his air of relish. "She got out of

"Why?" he persisted. Were Larry

"Oh, don't know, %Van!" Gail ex-

"But wouldn't" Gail demanded
quickly, wouldn't Miller have to pay

"You don't know that. Miller might

sophically.
"No, I wouldn't mortgage the place

"Phil, are you insured?" asked both
sisters, surprised and impressed.

He looked at Dick cautiously and
laughed a little uncomfortably.

II don't know what we would have

"I haven't done anything" Dick

Gail went on with her musing, not so
much about Ariel now as about Dick.
He seemed a very rock of strength to-

She even was aware Of a little self
consciousness with him tonight for the
first time in her life. 1t was as If she
had never seen him before. When they
went back into the old kitchen and he
half sat and half leaned against the
table in his usual way she found her
self studying hin-fascinated by his
ease and his quick emphatic use Of
words, and his adequacy in this crisis.
Whenever he called her "Gail"--and he
had called her by her name all her
life-she felt an emotion of pleasure.

strangeness and excitement In the
weekday morning air. It was queer to
go into the library at IS minutes past

Ariel stayed close to Gail. She was
subdued and silent and jumped nervous
ly when Dick came to get her at half
past eleven. They might want her at
court, Dick said.
They had hardly gone when Van

c.. @. P. CHIEFS WARN
AGAINST LOWER TARIFF
Record Lean Years for
Nation Are ForeSeen If
Rates Are SIaShed.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. May 20. - The
Republican national committee to-
day replied to agitation for tariff
reduction with spirited defense of
the Hawley -Smoot rates and an as
sertion that present duties are lin
some cases perhaps not high
enough" p
If the present tariff is not main
tanned the committee said, "the
American people can look forward
to the leanest years ever witnessed
on this continent"
The committee abandoned its
usual policy of issuing statements
only under names of party leaders.
The defense of the tariff was issued
under the name Of the committee
itself
Rates "OnIy Adequate"
The statement was viewed as a
reply not only to Democrats, but to
those members of the Republican
party who with increasing frequency
have been suggesting that the
tariff be lowered as a means of
stimulating foreign trade and thus
aiding business recovery.
The Republican statement said:
There now is ample evidence to
show that under present conditions
the rates in the Hawley- Smoot tariff
are no more than adequate, in
many instances and that in some
cases perhaps not high enough.
An illustration of this is seen in
the demand of a democratic repre-
sentative acting at the insistence of
organized labor. That the rates on
boots and shoes be increased so per
cent over the present duty of 20 per
cent ad valorem levied by the Haw-
ley-Smoot act.
Call Free Traders Menace
Never has the necessity of pro-
tecting our markets and our
workers been so apparent in view
of tremendous wage cuts abroad.
If our tariff walls are not main
tanned and the fullest protection
accorded agriculture, industry and
labor, the American standard of
living must fall to European levels.
Blind theorists, foreign interests
and Democratic free traders are
to destroy our tariff.
If this menace is not averted the
American people can look forward
to the leanest years ever witnessed
on this continent"
