Democratic House leaders were
confident today they can carry
out President Roosevelt's man

For days before the public perform
ance, snakes have been gathered and
taken to the kivas, to the sacred room
where the rites have been going on for

ment folk. It is quite Q social event,
this yearly dance.
Women Line Route.
At last come the priests, the ante
lope first, slowly and quietly. to form
q line in front Of the kisi. where the
snakes are already secluded. Then
the snake priests emerge to line up
in front of the antelope and start the
dance. Meanwhile, women with sacred
meal have formed along the sites,
ready to sprinkle dancers and snakes.
After the first dance priest comes
out with q snake in his mouth. A
man called hugger throws his arms
about the shoulders Of the priest and
attracts the attention Of the snake.
The third man follows, ready to pick
I'D the reptile when the dancer drops
1t and takes another.
And so it goes until all the snakes
have been carried about the plaza.
Then Q circle Of meal Is formed, the
snakes thrown into 1t In Q writhing
mass. then picked up in punches and
carried far down on the plain, to be
released TO carry news Of the dance
