With the revelation that q d.

decided that the mint julep wins
the popularity contest, the May
flowers lounge is doing very
nicely these days, considering the
air-cooling system as another at
traction.
With the mint julep victory
comes the discovery that the no
tel is supplied with its own par
ticular variety OF luscious mint
from its own particular patch,
brought each day by gentleman
who does nothing but raise mint.
He reports q decided increase in
his load these hot days.

Indian Stomp Grounds

The Indian Stomp Grounds, on
Mt. Vernon Memorial Highway
to River Bend, offers one Of the
most unusual shows to ever come
to the East. Here one finds the
Indian as he lives on the reserva-

Sunday, many Indian rituals and
secret tribal ceremonies are per-
formed as they were long before
the white man set foot upon this
continent.
This Sunday at Q p. m. the
Stomp Ground offers, by popular
demand, The Making Of a Medi-
cine Man. This Is a very enter
tanning ceremony.
Not only do the three tribes
continue to carry out their faith
and traditional ceremonies. but
