City-they are having their Ad-
mission Day Festivities-77 years
q State.
An interesting feature planned
is an Indian parade and an Indian
baby beauty show.
Our first Indian servant surely
gave US a start-coming up from
breakfast We met an Indian wo-
man coming from our room where
she had made the bed and used the
vacuum cleaner. There is a reser-
walton nearby and the women do
much of the cleaning here in the
town.
The Washoes, of which she is a
member, are dark reddish, short,
sturdy and fat hipped, with large
faces and coarse black hair.
Here is an amusing story from
the Reservation: An Indian known
as "Big Jim" was riding a cayuse
down the trail, his long legs dang
ling almost to the ground behind
him, Indian fashion, and far
enough in the rear to maintain
tribal manners, came Susie, wadd-
ling like a duck, a papoose on her
back and her arms piled high with
the family groceries.
An Fastener not being familiar
with Western etiquette, could not
restrain himself-"Say, Mr.. Indian,
it does not look right, why do you
ride and let your wife walk and
carry all the load?"
"Eh, Umph, So! grunts Mr.. In
dian, "She no got horse" And he
kicked his ''fuzztail" into action
and moved on-keeping ahead of
his wife as all husbands would
like to do, but only Braves dare.

A MOST UNUSUAL
CEREMONY

About month ago most un-
usual ceremony took place in Sill
yer Spring, when nearly 400 auto
mobiles belonging to Pensioners
of st. Michael's Church were
blessed.
The service was held because
Of the increasing number Of traf-
fic accidents, according to the Rev.
Thomas A. Calnan, pastor of the
church. Services of the kind have
frequently been held in other
States but it is believed this is
the first time the rites have been
conducted in this area.
Each automobile was blessed
and the driver presented with the
medal of st. Christopher, patron
saint of travellers.
Which recalls to mind the le-
gend Of st. Christopher-the story
of the pagon Offero, who sought
the strongest force in the world"
One night he heard a little
child crying to be carried across
river-Ofero took the child in
his arms and waded into the rag
ing water, his burden grew heav-
Ter and heavier, but he toiled on,
and when he reached the other
side instead of the little child,
Christ stood before him and said,
GIN the person of a little child
you have carried mel name you
Christ-Bearer of Christopher"
There are many legends about
the origin of the name but this
one we like the best.
