then he puts it down, just turns it
loose, and it makes for the crowd,
and there is three Indians that do
nothing but catch the ones that
are turned loose and they let EN-

hands and they all go through the
same plan. He puts the snakes

of it's head, into his own mouth, and
then he takes his two hands and
holds the body of the snake kinder

like saxaphone. His hands are
on the snake in the very same po-

got bit or not. If they did they

There is one man behind each
snake dancer who don't have a
snake. He looks like he is there to
attract the snakes attention in
case he might want to bite. He
himself is not near enough to be
bit. So guess he directs the snake
where to bite the other fellow
Each dancer must have danced
with as many as 10 snakes.
There was about 20 taking part

in Minnesota is almost ideal far small grains
are concerned and corn Is getting good star. In
the Red River valley of western Minnesota and east

It is the greatest dramatic religious
spectacle in this country. All the
Indians are very courteous and
obliging. While the whites are our
usual arrogant butins. It makes a
great spectacle for there is hum

there. They are the tall lanky
horsemen type, that live out with
their stock all the time and not
i'm villages at all. The Hopi's all
live together in towns. The dance
is to get rain, and before the last
snake was caressed, why it begin
to rain. I just thought suppose our
dances were made as an appeal to
the divine for something, and they
got what they deserved, the varsity
drag would be followed by an
earthquake, and the Charleston by
maybe a famine.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Fears.

Fears.
What are human beings afraid Of?
Everything. How may you classify
these fears of everything? Two ways.
First, there is a large group of fears
that may be called the life-preServing
fears. Lightning, storms. floods, dark
ness, small places, big places, animals,
disease. pain and even life itself in
rare cases. In all these and many more,
common sense is strangely mixed with
common perstition-mOstly SuperSti-
ton, which is in turn composed of
hearsay and socially approved ignor-
ance. Most of these fears would vanish,
if society could invent some device that
would absorb or drain off the accumu-
lated by-products of ignorance. No
doubt imitation plays a large part in
these fear-makings. SO far as nature
herself is concerned, psychologists have
found but two fears that are truly in
herited These are the fear Of loud
noises and the fear of falling
You may classify fears another way.
You may place a lot Of things you fear
under the heading of Simon pure imag-
lination. Failures of all sorts may be
/ laid at the door of imaginary fears.
There are those who fear failure be-
cause they are unable to trace any
outstanding examples Of success to the
family tree And others fear failure
because there are too many such exam
pies. They are afraid they can't live up
to them
The fear of losing ones job has al
ways been an important imaginary
fear. This fear may become so real
as to incapacitate person for perform
ing his job.

Straig hit Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.
"Oh. What Use Is Credit 2"

II hear 50 much about credit" writes
one woman, "of what earthly use is
it? When we have cash to pay why
can't we get along without it?"
There is hardly a woman today who
doesn't use credit in some form or
ether. Naturally, credit isn't labeled
such whenever or wherever one utilizes
it, but it is easy to recognize.
When you send a parcel home
C. o. D. you are getting credit You are
being trusted to pay for it when it is
delivered. When you have charge
account at a store you are making
use of credit in perfectly obvious
way. When your grocer consents to
send you weekly bills, or your milk
man. baker and newsdealer, you are
receiving credit.
A simpler way to. say giving credit"
is to say trusting some one for some
thing" If you buy anything on the
installment plan, be it an automobile
or a piano, you are receiving credit.
You must cnly pay down certain
sum, and you are trusted to pay the
rest at stipulated periods.
Whenever your financial response
bility is recognized you are being given
credit. For example, if you had
dresses, or Jewelry, cor furs sent home
en- credit. Unless you were deemed
able TO pay Tor them, and morally
responsible, you would never have the
privilege extended to you.
Every woman who reserves a hotel
room in advance, bcoks passage on a
Boat, or has a piece of merchandise
held for her is being shown credit. II
she were not deemed financially re-
sponsible and trustworthy those rights
would not be accorded her.
OF course, borrowers make direct use
of their credit. 1ta doesn't matter
whether the loan is ~one made at a
bank, or an I. o. U. signed at a card
table. The principle of credit is there
just the same. Some of these uses
answer the question the woman pro-
pounded: "Of what use is credit?"'
One might further add that, without
credit, cash would be indispensable at
ell times and in all places. Imagine
the inconvenience of that!
To illustrate what a woman'S life
would be without credit, let's consider
some of the possibilities: No charging.
all rent paid in advance, buying and
raying for things on the spot, paying
days wages to ones maid, and so on.
1t sounds primitive, doesn't it?

New and Interesting Plaids
BY MARY MARSHALL.

A plaid blouse or an all-plaid dress
may seem to you too striking for your
Summer wardrobe. but bit of plaid
used by way of trimming gives smart
touch to an all-white dress.
The dress shown in the sketch may
give you a suggestion. To make the belt
and long neck scarf you will need about
a yard of plaid silk or fine gingham
Cut off strip not more than two inches
wide for the belt Join to a facing,
stitch along the edges and finish with a
buckle at one end and two or three but
tonholed eyelets at the other end. Cut
the silk that remains into strips and
piece them together to make long
scarf which is passed round the neck
and run through Sits in the dress as
-hown in the sketch. If you like you
may use plaid ribbon for the belt and
scarf. And to make the ensemble COM
plete you may use a strip of the same
ribbon to go round the crown of the hat.
A red and blue plaid may be used eff
fectively on white dress-or you may
use plaid of two shades of brown,
green and brown or brown and yellow.

In the Nursery.

A white porcelain-top, enameled iron
table is valuable in the nursery. The
older children can use it when they
want to use their paints, crayons or
paste. 1t is a safe place to put nursery
equipment. For bathing the baby. place
on it quilted pad. tying it at the four
corners. and over it place blankets and
bath towels.
A large box of clean sawdust in the
play room is perfect substitute for
the Summer sand box outdoors The
regular sand toys can be Ured in it,
besides all the children's toy cooking
utensils and chinaw3re. The sawdust
may be used outdoors also, if clean sand
is not available.

Hurry in Spending.

1t doesn't pay to spend in haste and
repent at leisure. One may not have
enough money left even to repent at
leisure. More mistakes are made
through snap judgments, hurried de-
cisions and haphazard conclusions than
will trust to luck' or Just take
chance" or guess that everything will
be all right" may live to rue her haste.
1t doesn't matter where one is spend
ing her money, or investing 1t, for that
matter. Delib2ration and consideration
are indispensable. A few trained minds
with complete facts at their disposal
can make accurate snap judgments,
but the majority of us need time to
form correct conclusions.
Many woman has guessed that
shade matched, or measurement was
right, or that a size was correct on
Saturday afternoon in town while
shopping, only to exchange, or try to
exchange, her guess on Monday morn
ing. Sunday dinners have. been in
complete because il was supposed that
the meat would arrive, or that two
pounds would be enough to feed the
family.
Knowing is essential. and guessing Is
not suitable substitute under some
circumstances. Women who have rushed
into doubtful investments in order to
be in on the profits, or to buy before
the price went up. or before all of the
stock were sold often repent their eager
and needless haste. Once our money
is spent or invested it cannot be hur-
ried back into our pockets. Don't hurry
it out
No legitimate storekeeper or security
salesman has any reason to hurry a
customer or client into a sale. If his
article is good one he has confidence
in its ultimate sale. He can wait,
withstand investigation and inquiry.
Only the swindling promoter must
hurry. He must hurry to save his skin,
and collect while the collecting is good
OF course, the efficient shopper
doesn't buy the first thing that strikes
her eye and fancy. She shops around,
knowing other attractive articles will
also be seen, and perhaps at more ad-
vantageouS prices. No matter how we
spend money, all Of us seek to get the
most for it. The only way to assure
ones self that one is getting the most
is to see, examine and price all Women
who haven't time to shop or investi-
gate haven't time to spend or invest.

1T is the pleasant associations that
come with sweet perfumes as well as
the direct pleasure that comes from
them that make them agreeable. We
cannot help but like those scents that
remind us of fresh Spring days, sun
shine, Summer breezeS and lovely gar
dens.
AS soon as any perfume becomes as
sociated with unpleasant ideas, then
no matter how sweet it may be it loses
charm.
1t is for this reason that fashions In
perfumes come and go.
AS soon as any particular scent be-
comes over-popular and too widely
used, the discriminating woman will
have none of it. To herself and her
associates it will no longer suggest
sparkling fountains and fresh sunshine
or Summer breezeS on starlight nights
or anything Of the sort.
Makers CT perfumes are, OF course,
aware of this fact, and that is why they
are all the time giving us new per-
fumes that may still bring up all the
pleasant associations without any OF
these less pleasant ones that are gained
by too long usage. One reason why the
very expensive perfume is worth While
if you can possibly afford 1t is in the
very fact that it is expensive and there
AOOAAAN N-A--So -
quite inexpensive perfume not in gen.
eral use has the same advantage.
In Victorian days there was feeling
among many conservative women here
as well as in England that the Cnly per-
fume fastidious woman might use was
the faint aroma of lavender water or
eau de cologne: and this was because
the stronger perfumes had acquired un-
favorable association through the over
lavish way that they had been used by
women of less fastidiouS taste.
And even eau de cologne may have an
unfavorable association with some per-
sons because of the old-fashioned habit
of using it as an external application for
headache.
Enormous progress has been made
within recent years in the making OF
perfumes. Instead of a score or SO OF
scents from which to choose there are
hundreds upon hundreds of them, and
each season there are new ones to take
the place of those that have become too
commonplace.
Some women cling to one scent all
their lives, and this is not bad idea if
the scent is very expensive and therefore
rarely used. But most women like to

Scents With New Modes

change perfumes from time to time as
they change the mode of hair arrange

There are almost endless perfumes for
you to choose from, and you may find
some one of the bouquets or subtle
blendings of more simple scents most to
your taste. But within the past few
months there has been a revised fashion
for the simple flower odors - jasmine,
lily, narciSsus, for instance
These flower scents as put out by the
most skillful perfumerS are not always
SO simple as they may seem. They are
not the simple. crude flower scents used
so years ago, but subtle blends that Sug-

Always keep salads on ice until
