his apartment today portrait
dated June, 1914, and inscribed with
very warm regards" from Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
1t was during his service on the
Plaza Commission that Mr.. Mason
decided to study law. Getting the
White House assignment for the
International News Service in the
summer of 1914, he enrolled in
National University that fall and
received his bachelors degree two
years later He quit the newspaper
business then to become secretary
of the Woodrow Wilson Independent
League.
After being rejected for military
service in the spring of 1917 he took
the local bar examination and be-
came a practicing attorney early
| that summer. His first important
! legal connection was as counsel OF
| the League to Enforce Peace, headed
by President Taft and former Presi-
dent Lowell of Harvard University.
Reads Five Papers Daily.
Mr.. Mason's general law practice
has continued since that time, his
firm now concerning itself almost
entirely with corporation work on
tax and regulatory matters. He is
planning to discontinue active prac-
tice. but not to withdraw member
ship in his firm when he takes his
new office
One of his newspaper habits. Mr..
Mason said he still reads five news
papers daily-the four Washington
papers and the New York Times.
Although he has never been active in
| local government matters, he said he
has always considered local affairs
his first interest and that he has
as close an acquaintanceship with
| the problems here as may be OBJ
tanned through constant newspaper
reading.
In an interview. the Commission
er-select expressed himself as ap-
proving the idea of limited voting
privileges here for bona fide Dis
trict residents, but was skeptical of
specific proposals. He said he fa-
vored retention of the Commission
form of government and congress
sional control for the Capital.
Mr.. Mason said he had given some
particular thought to the financing
prohlens of the District
AS a possibility of arriving at an
equitable formula, he suggested that
a study might be made of the bud
geted expenditures and tax sched-
ules of comparable cities with an
average for both of these imposed
for the District Then, he added,
the extra expenditures required for
the National Capital should be de-
frayed entirely by Federal contribu-
ton.
This is the Capital of the Ma
ton, he said. and the Federal Gov
ernment ought to make it a beauti-
full city and pay for it. District
residents should pay reasonable
tax for the benefits, but not more
than that
Coils Three Times Weekly.
Close to feet tall and white
/ haired. Mr.. Mason still has the
springy walk of an athlete and plays
golf three times weekly at Burning
Tree Club to keep himself in good
physical condition Once a week
on Friday nights, he joins clique
of poker playing friends, "and I'm
going to keep it up" he promises.
/ He is a member of the Masonic
fraternity and of the National Press
. Club.

peyote on himself Dr. Mitchell began the
experiment at noon. He took IL drains Of
extract, each dram equal TO one button"
An hour later he took another dram, and
at four o'clock an additional one-half dose
The results were successful and he described
the vision as follows: AN edge Of huge
cliff seemed TO project over a gulf Of unseen
depth. My viewless enchanter set on the brink
a huge bird claw Of stone Above. from the
stem or leg hung a fragment Of the same
stuff. This began 20 unro and float out 70
a distance which seemed TO me to represent
time as we'll as immensely of space Here were
miles Of rippled puppies, half transparent
and of ineffable beauty.
Now and then soft golden clouds noated
from these folds. or a simmer went over
the whole Of the rolling puppies and things
like green birds fell from it, fluttering down
TO the gulf below. Next l saw clusters of
stones hanging in masses from the claw toes,
as IL seemed 20 me miles Of them down far
below into the underworld of the black gulf.
This was the most distinct OF the visions.
The visions closed with the beach at
Newport, the waves liquid splendors huge and
threatening wonderfully pure green, or red
and deep purple once only deep orange, and
with no haze of foam.
The show was expensive" concludes DR..
Mitchell, referring to the before and after
effects. The experience was worth one such
headache and indigestion but not worth a
second"
The late Or. William James paid the price
Of the TIP to paradise but never got there
at all. He wrote to his famous brother, Henry
James:
Il had two days spoiled by psychological
experiment with mescal Weir Mitchell sent
me some to try. He himself had been in fairy
land I took one hutton three daye AGO and
vas violently sick for "a hours and had no
other symptom whatever except that and the
'katzenjammer thangover) the following day.

str7iction Of the tepee provides the tobacco
and appoints the other three chiefs. One is
the Fire Chief who builds and tends the fire
near or within the mound. This fire must
be started not with matches but from sparks
of the old-fashioned stone-age flint and it
must have u cedar faggots, in groups of
four spread in crescent FORM and plenty of
cedar seed
The fuel is furnished by the Cedar Chief
and The very important drum by the Drum
Chief who is the fourth dgntary. Four is
a sacred number TO the Indian because
animals have four limbs and he has four
senses For some reason he does not consider
touch as one of the senses.
Some time after the sun has safely set,
usually around p. Nj. the Road Chief, fol-
lowed by his three assistants enters the
tepee, makes sure that all is proper and
then lets in the others who seat themselves
along the edge Women as well as men are
permitted but there is no touch Of sex in
the entire proceedings which last Til lawn.
The Road Chief opens the ceremonies by
placing a large peyote button on the moon
mound and saying:
After have placed this Father Peyote
here, all this dry peyote and the peyotc tee
is for your use
He then rolls a cigarette made from
tobacco and sage, wrapped in a corn husk,
then passes the markings" to the Drum Chief,
then the Cedar Chief and then going TO the
left to all the members serving last the Fire
Chief who then has to take lighted stick
from Grandfather Fire" and give a light 70
everyone himself last. After all have had
four puffs the Road Chief makes a long
prayer, followed by everyone else who feels
like praying When this is done the peyote
is passed around. The rest Of the evening is
occupied by songs accompanied by the Drum
Chief and prayers. everyone being entitled to
four songs and four prayers
At midnight the Road Chief sings the mid
night water call, and the Fire Chief brings in
the water which the Road Chief blesses The
Road Chief then takes his whistle and goes
outside OF the tepee. outside facing east he
blows one long, four shdt and one long blast
on the whistle. Then he prays to the east,
