DANCER IS SUED.
|. BY |NVERCLYDE

LONDON, March 10 Q.N.S0 /.
London society was intrigued to-
day by a mysterious court action
filed at Edinburgh by Lord Inver-
clyde. Scottish peer, against the
former June Howard -Tripp, petite
English dancer who divorced him
in Reno in 1881.
Lord Inverclyde's lawyers de-
MED it was a separation action
on grounds Of desertion, leading
many persons to suppose that the
nobleman is attempting to obtain
a divorce of his own. June's
Reno divorce is not recognized
in this country.
Date of the hearing will depend
upon whether June enters de-
fense.
Lord Inverclyde and June were
married in 1929, not long after he
obtained divorce from Olive
Sainsbury, daughter Of a million
aire British merchant.
The marriage lasted only a few
months. In her divorce petition,
June charged Lord Inverclyde
drank far too much and never
was entirely sober" and alleged
that he once attempted to choke

HALLS
BOWERS CHOICE

Perry Belmont, at one time
American representative at the
Spanish Court, believes the ap-
pointment of Claude Bowers to
the same post will prove welcome
to the Spanish government.
Mr.. Bowers going to the new
est republic will add lustre to
the axioms of Jeffersonian
democracy, Mr.. Belmont believes.
He said:
"As one Of Mr.. Bowers pre-
cedeSsOry, 1 have extended him
my warmest congratulations. I
know the Spanish Republic will
welcome and honor the histOr.
ian of Jeffersonian democracy.
There are two different brands
Of democracy. Henry Cabot
Lodge, the great admirer and
biOgrapher Of Alexander Ham
iltOn, wrote of him, He believed
in class influence and represen.
tatiOn, and in what for a better
phrase may be called an aris-
t0cratic republic"
Appointment of Bowers Is in
keeping with the tenor of the
times, Mr.. Belmont said contend
ing that Spain, young in repub-
licianism, can be encouraged and
inspired by our new ambassador. j."
That a man Of literary ability
has been recognized is also pleas
ing to Mr.. Belmont, who is an
author in his own right, having
written "The Survival Of the
Democratic Principle"

Carl in a ruling today cleared
up the status of certain EN-.

The gist of the ruling is that

Of the economy act, and that
their salaries are not to be i'm
pounded, but that employees paid

POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK PRAISED
. BY EDITOR

Backing up William Randolph
Hearst's demand that the United
States Postal Savings System p'
popularized and its scope broad
ened. Julian Pierce, editor, o
the American Federation o
Labor News Letter, in a LEADING
article captioned Safety TO
Savings" tomorrow will say:
There is one deposit bank
in the United States that is
absolutely safe.
"That bank Is officially
called "The United States Pos
tai Savings System" 1t is
owned by the United States
Government and operated by
the Postoffice Department, with
branch offices in thousands Of
pOstOffices.
Deposits may be made from
D minimum of ten cents up,
with q maximum of $2,5OO in
the name of each depOsitOr.
TWO PER CENT INTEREST
"The Government pays two
per cent annual interest on the
deposits.
"The deposits may be with
drawn wholly or in part at any
time.
In the last year citizens de-
string absolute safety for their
savings swelled the deposits in
the Postal Savings System to
nearly one billion dollars.
"There are two drawbacks to
the system as now administered.
"The first drawback is the
secrecy which is imposed by
the POstOffice Department..
"Under instructions issued by
Walter F. Brown, Postmaster
General under President Hoo
yer, pOStmaSters were told that
Information regarding the ad-
vantages of the Postal Savings
System should generally be
given out only "in response to
specific inquiries"
"ThiS an on information
should be removed. Postmaster
General Farley should instruct
pOstmasters to acquaint all per-
sons in their communities with
the advantages and especially
with the safety Of the Postal
Savings System.
LIMIT IS DRAWBACK
The second drawback is the
limit of $4,000 for each &C
count.
"This S2,5OO limit should be
abolished and the Postal Saw
ings System thrown open to all
citizens reg ardlesS of the
amount they desire to deposit.
: "The objection that abolish
ing the $4,000 limit will injure
the private banks by reducing
their deposits is essentially dis
honest. The law prescribeS that
the Government shall re-depOsit
postal savings funds in the
banks in the district from which
they reached the Postal Savings
System, with the just prOvisO
that the banks shall turn over
to the Government adequate
collateral to guarantee the
safety of the deposits"

INDIANS BEGIN
SNAKE DANCE

WALPI, HOPI INDIAN RESER-
WALTON, Ariz., Aug. 81. U.H = AS
the sun dips into the west far be-
yond the Painted Desert tonight,
Indian priests carrying deadly rat
tlesnakes in their mouths will pray
to the gods for rain.
In the weirdest ritual remaining
in America, the priests will prance
and stomp to the montonous chant
of fellow tribesmen in the famed
Hopi snake dance.
The ceremonies started at day
break. The suns first beam was
the signal for start of race among
the young braves. The first to
reach Walpi from the surrounding
mesas was Sprinkled with sacred
meal and awarded potent charm.
A wedding ceremony next was
performed, uniting an Indian youth

in the day the snakes, collected in

clan presents its second cornstalk
dance in which the gods are in
formed of the approaching cere-
mony. The antelopes pause in their
dancing about the plaza to stamp
four times on the Sipapu, a small
hole III the ground from which the
spirits of the first being are sup
posed to emerge.
AS the sun goes down the snakes,
deadly ratUlers and harmless bull
snakes, are taken from the bags and
placed in the mouths of the priests
who dance away, finally throwing
the reptiles into a sacred circle. At
a given signal the squaws rush into
the circle, sprinkle the snakes with
sacred corn meal and rush out. The
priests, oblivious to striking fangs,
carry the snakes in both hands far
into the desert and release them.
The reptiles are released to carry
underground to the gods the Hopis'
prayers for rain and good fortune
for the coming year. Rain usually
follows the ceremony.
