Ban Lifted, Indians
 Prepare For Dances
Montana Tribes Ready to Don Moccasins and "Go to
 Town in Good Old Style

Butte. Mont - (UP) - Because the Great White Fathers" ir Washington no longer say Naughty, Naughty" hundreds of Montana Indian bucks are put ting on their dancing moccasins and going to town" in good old style.
 The Redskins have learned that instead of evoking stern frowtns. their tribal dances are being en- couraged by the New Deal.
 As result, some of the tribes which have not donned colorful regalia and "dance-paint" for years are doing so. The most recent tribal cero- mony of this type was the Sun Dance held by the Gros Ventres near Landusky =, the first such event more than half a century. Celebrating the Fourth of July. the Gros Ventres put on real show, performing their dance be. fore hundreds of spectators. The Indians petitioned the Great Spirit" to bring them and their white brothers greater prosperity"
 Some time back Rain Dance was held by the Assinibojnes near Frazer. Sun dances are eXpectei | to be held in the near future by Blackfoot and Flathead tribes men. Other ceremonies may be scheduled by the Crows.
 Speaking for the Gros Ventres. Tom Main, a tribal councilma n, said the Indians considered the dances 'verboten" for so long that few of the younger men knew the actual ceremony and that aged men of the tribe were busy, re : teaching proper rites. Similar conditions are thought to exist in most of the tribes.

BY DAN THOMAS

NEA Service Staff COrrespondcn, Hollywood, - Film stars regard their studio dressing rooms almost as homes and guard them every bit as zealously as they do their own dwellings.
 This was discovered with com- pletion of the new executive build ing on the Paramount lot, which contains eight very attractive and modern dressing room suites. How ever, none of the players wants to move into them.
 Over at period of time each has fixed his dressing room to suit his particular taste and as result all want to remain in their present quarters.
 So far the only ones who have consented to move into the new suites are Claudette Colbert and George Raft-and each insisted up- on considerable remodeling before taking possession. ,.
 Marlene Dittrich.. Mae West, Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Bing Crosby, Jack Oakie, Sylvia Sidney, and Dick Arlen all turned thumbs down on every proposal made to them about taking the more elab- crate suites.
 They feel at home in the present quarters and as result they just naturally won't move. So there still are six beautiful new suites without any occupants-and mo- body will show even the slightest interest in them.

WORLDS BEST
 BOOKS IN PERSIA
Ancient Koran Copies Startle London
 ArchaelOgist

London, (UP)-The worlds most splendid books are the ancient Persian copies of the Koran, ac- cording to Dr Arthur Upham Pope, director of the American Institute for Persian Art and Archaeology who has just returned from his fifth survey of the art treasures of that country. .....
 Strange as it. may, sound com ing from one who has been study ing Persian art for many years,' remarks Dr Pope, "this trip has been a revelation to me.
 For I was permitted to examine and photograph, the precious MSS in the library of the fabulously rich and fanatically guarded Shrine of Iman Riga in Mashad, the holiest place in all Persia. With the exception of few pieces which were loaned to the London exhibition of Persian Art in 1881, these MSS had never before been examined by any western scholar and I was astonished at the beauty and opulence of these books.
 "The library includes about 5000 Korans-the gifts of long line of Persian Shahs and Indian Princes many of them valued by the Shrine authorities in excess of $100,000 each.
 "In some of them a single page took the artist several years to do. 1 In one case, the artist worked seven years on the frontispiece alone without being able to finish it. Some of the fooled book cov- CTS have required over half q million separate impressions to complete: as each operation re- quires an eXquisitely accurate and delicate touch, the books took many years to complete. For sheer power and opulence, these MSS especially those of the 14th and 18th centuries-never have been surpassed"

Worst Part of Acting

Worst Part Of Acting
 At last l know how it feels to be an actor. Despite my many years around Hollywood, never be- fore have 1 been willing to don grease paint and face movie cam- era-and 1 never will again. A scene in Edmund Lowe's new pie ture, "GiGft of Gab," calls for Ed die to be at lunch with a group of newspaper reporters. To make the scene authentic, studio eXecu- tivcs asked group of Hollywood press correspondents to appear in it-but they didn't say anything about having to wear make up. So l was one who responded.
 Now that it's all over, I am convinced that acting is a cinch. Those powerful lights aren't so bad, either And there's nothing terrifying about a movie camera.
 But that makeup-UGH! Be- lieve me, men who have to wear that every day should be well paid. And taking it off is an even worse ordeal than having it put on.

Why Color of Sea Water
 Is Affected by Depths

Sea water Itself Is rather transpar- ent Since different hues have their own depths of penetration. thickness of water can account for color. For this reason deep sea water is green because light of this color travels far. thest. according to the University of California Scripps Institution of oceanography.
 Sea water. fl is said. can scatter. transmit, reflect or absorb daylight, and the colors observed result from one or more of these actions. Ere Quently colors such as green. brown or red are wrongly attributed to the water when actually they are due to floating organisms or suspended mat. ter.
 Onethird of daylight, 1t Is explained, Is seized by the earth's atmosphere. another third, the invisible infra-red and violet. Is absorbed by the sea surface, while the last third has It's speed checked by the water. and Is stopped part by part according to color at different depths. Each ab- sorbed part of sunshine. after having served its purpose, Is transformed in- to heat. with no possibility of ever again being visible.

Why Humans Stand Erect

The natural tendency of the human body would be to fall backward. To counteract this tendency man has put upon the front of each hip-joint. a band of powerful muscles, which no other animal possesses. because no other animal needs 1t. This holds him erect. None of the monkeys has it. for the center of gravity of monkey is still forward of the hip-joInts, and the natural position of a monkey Is on all fours. Standing erect they all need to use their hands So when baby is learning to stand erect he Is pass ing physically from the quadr,Iped stage of evolution to the anthropoid or monkey stage.

 {s There ls No Sand Used in the Making of Sandpaper

NA0mAAsk VA S&A0R6PGE
 Familiar as sandpaper is to practi- caiIy everybody. yet there are very few persons. indeed. who know that this universally used product has no sand In it. It Is estimated that half of the population of the United States. more than sixty million people, use sandpaper from time to time.
 But Of these many millions how many ever give thought to what con- stitutes the abrasive surface of sand paper. which Is used In the manufac. ture of nearly everything man uses in his lifetime from the cradle to the casket?
 Sand cannot be used for making sandpaper because 1t Is not efficient for that purpose. for most sand is waterworn and the particles are there fore more or less rounded and have no sharp cutting edge.
 The fine abrasive particles on sand paper are specially crushed flint or garnet or are products of the electric furnace. aluminium oxide or silicon carbide.
 The abrasive particles used in the manufacture of sandpaper, with few exceptions, are not true crystals. nor are they alike. The particles, though carefully graded, vary in size and shape and have many edges and points. some of which are much sharp. CT than others. Best results are ob- tained from grits approximately twice as long as they are wide.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Johnny Barron Suffers
 Painful Arm Injuries

Victim of an accident which came perilously close to a ia. tality, Johnny Barron, is nurs- ing a badly bruised arm as a result of having the member caught in the coils of a rope wound around the "nigger- head" of a gas-driven winch, while engaged Saturday with a Premier company logging crew taking out mine timbers near the Salmon river high way about two and one-half miles north of town.
 While tending the rope, wound in several coils around the revolving nigger-head, his hand became caught under the loops. Clutched in the deadly grip of the nope, his arm was pulled under the coils almost to the shoulder before any move could be made to prevent.
 Quick action by Charles E. GcGdsburgh, foreman of the crew, in stopping the engine immediately was said by the witnesses to have been the Ion- ly thing that prevented Barr on's arm being either fright fully lacerated or torn from his shoulder.
 After stopping the engine, MT. Goldsburgh further miti- gated Barron's injuries by turning his body end over end until the strain on the rope was released.
 The injured man was taken to the Premier hospital, where it was found that the arm was badly crushed and bruised but no bones were fractured. It is understood that the injuries are not of a character likely to affect the future use of the arm.
 Witnesses of the accident &C., cord high praise t loMr. Colds burgh for the presence of mind displayed by him in stop- ping the engine and otherwise preventing a much worse ac- cident.
