Indians Who Greeted
Columbus Have Now
Been Identified
Arawaks From Haiti,
Says an investigator

Washington. - An expedition
has unearthed new light on the
mysterious Indians who met
Columbus, and whom he i'm
mortalized in history as "sim-
pie, honest and exceedingly
liberal" natives.
Returning from the Bahama is
lands, Herbert w. Krieger of the
Smithsonian institution reports first
discovery of village sites Of this In
dian group.
One village where these Indians
lived was found at the entrance to
a huge cave. Under shelter of the
overhanging entrance, Mr.. Krieger
unearthed hearth where campfires
burned, and pottery used in house
keeping. The cave stretched back
for about two city blocks, but the
far interior was not used.
A chiefs seat is one important
object recovered from the cave. The
seat, unlike many stiff throne for
lean-back effect, and had short legs
about four inches high. Scrollwork
adorned the wood.
Like Those on Waiting Island.
This village discovered by Mr..
Krieger is at Hamilton cave on Long
island. Long island was one of Co.
lumbus' three stopping points in the
Bahamas when he made his famous
voyage in 1892. Indians of San Sal
vador or Waiting island, where Co.
lumbus first landed, were of the
same native type and group.
Science has heretofore depended
mainly on Columbus journal for in
formation regarding these long-van-
ished Indians. Columbus called
them the Lucayana.
Mr.. Krieger's search for archeo-
logical remains has produced cumu-
lative evidence that these Indians
were Arawaks who migrated from
Haiti. That is, their ancestry linked
them with South American Indians
rather than with tribes to the north
in Florida. They had trade rela-
tions, however, with Florida, for
their pottery and other objects bear
some clues to contact with that re-
gion.
They Had Flattened Skulls.
Skulls found by Mr.. Krieger show
that the Indians met by Columbus
had heads f1attened front and back.
This was a custom among Indians
in Haiti, but not in Florida, another
fact pointing to southern origin Of
these Bahaman natives.
Proof that these Indians used TOM
ahawks of stone, with wood handles
is announced by Mr.. Krieger. Here
tofore, only the stone weapon heads
have been found, and these were
taken for "celts" or unshafted stone
axes to be held in the fist. Wood
handles have now come to light.
The discovery is another that links
these Indians with southern origin,
for such tomahawks were made in
South America.
Modern Negroes of the Bahamas
sometimes find the stone heads of
these tomahawks, and superstitious-
ly call them 'thunderbolts." They
believe these stones fall from heav-
en-, bury themselves in earth or
sea, and come to the surface after
seven years, and that such stones
are good magic to ward off hurri-
canes.

Thus will it be when native
Americans" from all parts of the
country gather at Orchestra hall
in Chicago to give their folk mu-
sic, songs, dances and plays at
the National Folk festival on May
% to 28-the first time it has ever
been held north of the Mason and
Dixon line. This festival is one
of the really unique events in
the recent history of this coun-
try.
Started by Woman.
Its originator was Miss Sarah
Gertrude Knott who, while she
was connected with the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, conceived
the idea of bringing together the
varied opponents of our folk Gull
ture." Later, while director
of the Dramatic League of St.
Louis, she set out to enlist the in
terest of others who have in one
way or another been concerned
with the distinctive elements in
Americas background.
Among them were such nota-
bles as Paul Green of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, one of
the leading playwrights of this
country, who is president of the
national committee which she or
gained; DR.. Homer P. Rainey
of the American Youth commits
sion, who is vice-president; Mary
Austin, novelist and poet; Walter
Prichard Eaton, head of the Yale
school of the drama; Constance
Rourke, historian and folklorist;
Prof. George Lyman Kittredge
of Harvard university; DR.. Wal
ter Hough, head curator of an
thropology of the Smithsonian in
stitution in Washington; Louise
Pound, poet; Frances Densmore,
authority on Indian music; and
number of others.

Uncle WiS
Says: -
Proftless Meanness

There is a meanness that profits
not the man who possesses it.
That of stubbornly withholding
praise where it is deserved. One
could understand withholding
money.
When in doubt, etiquette is an
excellent guide.
Man hasn't done much with fish,
for all his inventiveness. He has
eliminated no bones; yet he got
the seeds out of oranges.
A Success Secret
If you know intimately a sue
cessful man, you know one that
will not tell you everything.
There will yet be a Society for
the Encouragement of Courtesy
Among Automobiles.
Being bored accounts for a lot
of improvement in this world.
The discipline of children is now
nothing like it was in granddad's
day. Today the greatest severity
may consist in insisting that they
eat spinach.

TEXAS-More than 80 section
al festivals were held in Texas
last year and several thousand
Texans participated in the ma
tional festival at the Centennial

groups will bring to Chicago
some of the rich lore of that
state. Cowboy ballads, music and

Paul Bunyan Tradition.
WISCONSIN-Ethel Rockwell,
chief of the bureau of dramatics
at the state university, and a
member of the national commit
tee of the festival, is working to
bring together folk plays and a
group to present something of
the Paul Bunyan tradition and
other Badger state folk lore.
Other states which probably
will send groups are: Iowa, folk
plays; Kentucky, mount in
songs; Georgia, folk customs;
Vermont and Maine, New Eng

Alabama and Mississippi, negro

The objective of the festival
has been summed up as: "To
bring together in a colorful, joy
giving National Folk festival the
native and traditional folk arts
which, for centuries, have re-
freshed the hearts of the Ameri-
can people in the various sections
of our land"
In connection with the festival,

spend more than 10 minutes in your
own quarters. Any room to be really
comfortable must have the important
things arranged where you want them
at the time that you need them.
Are the childrens roomE and the
play room arranged 20 that they are
naturally inviting? There will be
many rainy days and evenings OF
study after school begins! Is there
enough table space for all OF the
youngsters to sit around and do their
color and cut out work on? An
unpainted kitchen table which may
be purchased in any department store
is very useful. with the legs cut of
to the desired height, and the top
covered with oilcloth in the color
scheme of the room. It is fun for
play time, and also useful when
supper Is brought upstairs on a tray.
After taking stock of the whole
house or apartment, make out a list
OF the important big changes which
will disarrange the place such as
papering or painting, reflnishing
floors, taking out partitions or build
ing in closets. Then make another list
of the things you yourself will want to
do-the many things that take only
a few minutes of time and effort but
that do slip by in the busy days. Plan
these things now-you will want them
all done Immediately after the first
cool day-and so will everybody else
and some one will have to wait. Plan
your expenditures, your remodeling
and your effort now-so that it will all
be complete by the first Of October
and you will have all Winter to enjoy
your home.

pull up beside it when the wind be-
gins to howl? 1t is just as logical to
cover your chairs in Winter to be warm
and cozy as it is to do them ir the
Summer to look cool. If a piece is
worn or shabby make a slip cover for
it, in some bright warm color that

Somewhere in the room repeat the
color again so that the one bright
point will not be so noticeable as to
look like an accident.
New draperies change a room more
than any one single item. In the last
few years we have begun to realize
that charming windows are not a
matter of great expense or labor. For
the average house color, and a soften
ing effect where the light enters the
room, are the important things. The
new rayon materials are lovely, and
so very inexpensive that no one need
be without the satisfaction of attrac-
tive windows. A sheer linen gauze,
called theatrical gauze, may be bought
for 20 cents a yard-it comes in the
most delightful soft shades, is wash
able, and lasts for years. If one is
able to sew straight seam the most
pleasing results can be turned out
