poison which certainly must be taken into the
blood stream? The answer is secret serum,
black offensive looking and smelling potion pre-
pared by old squaw of the tribe and drunk
by the braves before they begin their dance.
The secret of the ingredients is carefully
guarded and passed down from generation to
generation. So far none of the serum has ever
been obtained for analysis.
Following the dance, the braves become
deathly sick to their stomachs.

LTHoUGH several tribes of Indians per-
~ form snake dances, it is believed that the
Hopis are the only Indians who do the dance
with ratters. If the secret of the serum were
made known to science, many lives might be
saved each year from snakebite, but the Hopis
steadfastly refuse to disclose their secret to the
world
The first dance is performed by Antelope
priests, holding cornstalks in their mouths but
on the last day the snake priests take charge.
The snakes are brought into the inner circle
made by dancing priests from the kiva (under-
ground chamber) where they have been hidden
while the priests have tasted.
Soon the watchers see that each priest is
dancing with a writhing serpent held in his
mouth to the dull, weird beat of tom tom.
When the dance is concluded, the snakes are
released upon the ground and sprinkled with
sacred meal, after which they are gathered in
the arms of runners who speed in the four direc-
tions of the compass, finally letting the serpents
loose upon the desert where it is believed they
make their way back to the underworld to
dwell with the Gods and carry the messages
which have been given them.

POPPY DAY TO BE OBSERVED
 HERE MAY 23
Legion Auxiliary Won e n Making Extensive Prep
 arations for Occasion

Poppy Day will be observed in Ju- neau this year on Saturday, May 23, when memorial peoples to be worn in honor of the World War dead will be distributed through, out the city by the Afford John Bradford Unit of the American Le zion Auxiliary. The Auxiliary wo men are making extensive prep arationS for the observance of the day under the leadership of Mrs Edna Policy, Poppy Day chair man.
 The peoples, made of crepe pa per by disabled veterans, will be offered on the streets by volunteer workers from the Auxiliary Unit and cooperating organizations. The Poppy Girls" will distribute the flowers in the business district throughout the day, and will also work in the outlying shopping cen ters Contributions for the welfare of the disabled veterans and needy families of veterans will be asked in exchange for the flowers.
 Wearing a poppy is a personal tribute to the men who gave their lives in the country's service" Mrs. Policy said By having a poppy on the coat on Poppy Day, all can show that they still remember and honor the sacrifices made for Amer ica during the World War The poppy is the flower which bloomed on the battle fields where they fell and on Poppy Day it blooms again over the patriotic hearts where they are remembered.
 Wearing the poppy also gives the wearer part in the vast work car ried out by the American Legion and Auxiliary for the wars living victims; the disabled, their fam lilies and the families of the dead. Every penny contributed for a poppy goes to the support of this work, the bulk of the money being used here in Juneau in the welfare activities of the local Legion Post and Auxiliary Unit.

 Johnny Allen has been pac ng the clubs pitchers. The former Yankee is happy to be with his old boss, Steve O'Neill, once more.

He gave Allen many pointers and at the same time learn ed how to handle the square jawed hurler Allen is anxious to get a crack at his former teammates, but, oddly enough, he is anxious to beat them now because he feels hurt about being traded to Cleve- land, but because he wants to show O'Neill that he got the better of the bargain.

STEVE POPULAR

STEVE POPULAR
 Everyone expected that Steve would be popular with the fans in Cleveland for. after all, he spent the best days of his baseball life in a Cleveland uniform and was most popular as player. But, judging by the reception he re- ceived from the fans in Yankee Stadium Steve has many friends and well wishers all around the cir cuit
 The players are willing and anx- ious to hustle for O'Neill for they know well that the former catcher can be depended on to go to bat for them should the occasion arise. He'll back his men to the limit, and they know it.
 Cleveland hasn't had a pennant winner since 1920 and the town is hungry for another It would be grand thing for the game if O'Neill did bring his hustling band under the wire first. It can be done. Plenty of managers have done the same thing in their first full season on the job.

The recreation section has no

recreation, pointed out this morn

cannot be as elaborate as those
directing it would like.
There will be enough eggs, how

in Key West, and they are invited

that everyone continue to work
in unison as they had in the past,
do everything possible to get the
road completed and Key West
would get back on the map and
be the most popular winter re-
sort in the United States.
Asked by T. Jenkins Curry,
member OF the bridge commits
sion, what was meant by follow
up in the governors telegram,
Mr.. Treadway explained that
there were many matters, mostly
detail, which would have to be
looked after and he thought it
may be necessary to have some
one in Washington to continually
keep in touch with the situation,
learn of the progress being made
and, when necessary, make gentle
reminders to the proper Off
Gals.
Gives Status of Position
Mr.. Treadway told his hearers
that his work as agent for the or
CARNATIONS, and the people of
Monroe county and Key West
was not being charged against
these units. That he was chair
man of the Florida State Road
Department and as such was act
ing as negOtiator.
Jack Golden asked if this would
not be good time to send tele-
grams to the Florida Legislative
representatives in Washington
relative to opening the navy yard,
and put group of people to
work.
Mr.. Treadway replied that he
did not think it would be wise to
inject any other matter into this
meeting. Mr.. Golden said he did
not mean to make it a part of the
meeting. but as a large number
of people were present thought it
could be done.
Carl Bervaldi, who was acting
as chairman of the meeting. re-
piled that the idea was perfectly
alright and if they so felt in
clined a meeting for the purpose
could be held after the present
meeting was concluded.
Mr.. Porter then asked Mr..
Treadway. as one who was fami-
liar with the entire situation, if
he thought it was possible to get
funds with which to build the
bridges other than as outlined.
In reply Mr.. Treadway said he
could not conceive OF the re-
hottest possibility of securing the
funds for construction of the
road other than by use of the
structures OF the railway.
Ross c. Sawyer asked if the
ROAD was 10 be constructed by the
state road department and how
was the money to be provided
whether by grant or loan.
Mr.. Treadway replied that
most of this work is done by the
Bureau of Public Roads which he
felt would mean that it would be
supervised by the state road de-
partment, as had all other ac-
t;vities in Florida which had been
constructed by government
funds. However, these details
had not been worked out.
Manner of Loan
He expected that the money
would be authorized by grant and
loan, the loan to be paid back BY
tolls from the bridges. assessed
against the travelling public. Al
