COLO. INDIANS RESUME SUN DANCE DENVER, Aug. 15. — Despite numerous objections on the part of Federal Indian agents, Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians of Wyoming indulged recently in the weird rites of the famous Indian sun dance, long since forbidden by the white guardians of the red man. The sun dance, a sacred ceremony of the tribes, continued almost without cessation for three days, leaving many of the braves exhausted at the climax. The dance—staged separately, the first three days being given over to the Shoshones and the second three-day period to the Arapahoes—was witnessed by several thousand Indians from various Wyoming reservations. Many squaw came, with papooses on their backs. Out at Fort Washakie, 16 miles north of Lander, Wyo., the Shoshones inaugurated the grotesque ceremony this year. The dance is conducted with a huge pole in the center of a circle of 12 poles. The center stake, according to Indian lore, represents the delity, or sun; and tradition names the 12 surrounding poles as symbolical of the 12 tribes of Hebrews. Around the outside poles bowers of brush are built—for shelter when the dancing red men fall exhausted. The scene of the dance throws off a great glare at night from the scores of bonfires that are built. Smudges are also built near the dance circle, and into these smouldering fires the dancers frequently step in order, according to the ritual belief, that the soles of their feet may become calloused for the ordeal. Within the circle of poles the Indian braves dance almost constantly for three days and nights. Each dancer has a bone whistle between his teeth, and as he exhales his breath the sound angments the weird and fantastic music of the tomtoms. Back and forth toward the center pole the braves sway and hop, and the steady hopping wears a deep path in the ground. During the marathon dance the Indians take neither food nor LA HABRA, Aug. 20.—(Spl.) B. B. Wetherall of Los Angeles, who is a business executive for the Protestant Welfare Ass'n of Los Angeles-co, which is an altruistic organization for the benefit of juvenile court wards, was the speaker at the regular lunchcon meeting of the La Habra Kiwanis. His subject was the underprivileged boy, bringing to the Kiwanis in concrete examples what is meant by such a boy, and what is needed to aid him. This was followed by a series of talks given by one Kiwanian on the other. L. J. Weester gave a three-minute talk on D. E. S. Bolce. The club also agreed to raise $500 in this district for the Salvation Army. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Parsons, who have been visiting with their brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. George Parsons, of Orange-st, left the last of the week for their home in Toronto, Canada. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Strong had as their guests over the week-end Mr. and Mrs. Roy Teeters of Tucatin and their house guest, Miss Vivian Teeter, of Carlton, Neb., who is visiting in Southern California. The Young Peoples' class of the Christian church gave a social at the William Witchers home on Florence-ave Thursday evening. This social was given in honor of the new pastor, Dr. H. S. Hayson, and who is also a teacher of this class. A short business meeting was held. Officers were elected as follows: President, Ralph Witchers; vice-president, Emma Swift, and Miss Arabella Reed, secretary and treasurer. They also decided to have a social each month. A social hour was enjoyed when games were played. Refreshments of home-made candy and fruit were served. Present were: Miss Cleo Layne, Arabella Reed, Emma Swift, Ruth, Gladys and Maude Witchers, Helen DeGray, Grace and Bernice Foss and Alice Snavely, Mrs. G. Craig, Dr. H. S. Hayson, Dr. C. S. Simmons, James Wiley, Charley Zehner and Ralph Witchers. Clarence and Theodore Scott to the ritual belief, that the soles of their feet may become calloused for the ordeal. Within the circle of poles the Indian braves dance almost constantly for three days and nights. Each dancer has a bone whistle between his teeth, and as he exhales his breath the sound augments the weird and fantastic music of the tomtoms. Back and forth toward the center pole the braves sway and hop, and the steady hopping wears a deep path in the ground. During the marathon dance the Indians take neither food nor water, it being their belief that refreshments of any kind rob them of the spiritual benefits derived through the long dancing ordeal. The squaws and children stand about the circle watching the dancers, urging them on by singing to the time of the drums. At intervals during the strange performance the sick of the tribe are brought within the circle; the dancers prance about them, striking their chests with blunt instruments that are believed to transmit health and strength to the diseased. By the end of the third day many of the redskins are barely able to crawl or utter a sound. Their tongues are swollen from thirst; their bodies—half nude—show heavy lines of fatigue, and with faces drawn and tense, they move backward and forward to the center pole like automotors, almost crazed by hunger and exhaustion. With the faint streak of dawn, after the third night of dancing, the ceremony ends with paroxysms of physical exertion and weird veils and groans. The sun dance of the Wyoming Indians was prescribed several years ago by the Indian agents, but last year it was resumed. Indian agents conferred with the tribal leaders in an effort to continue the ban, but advice was unavailing, and it was feared that to interfere with the ceremony might result in an insurrection. A compromise was reached whereby the Indians agreed not to lacerate their bodies, as had been the custom. LADY ASTOR LIKES TO PAY INCOME TAX LONDON, Aug. 15—Lady Astor has a new sport. It is paying taxes. Opposing a proposal to reduce the income tax, Lady Astor intervened in a lively House of Commons debate to declare: "I like paying taxes. I am very glad to have the money to pay taxes." Influential as Lady Astor is, however, it is very doubtful if she will be able to popularize the pastime which gives her such pleasure.
