For the sand paintings have been transferred by artists to the wall of the Hotel El recently dedi- cated here. In placing the — paint- ings on the walls the artists were particular not to depart in the} slightest degree from the original paintings made by “White Singer” and other eminent chiefs. In the art of the Navajos, paint- ing, music, the dance, poetry and the drama are indivisible and all are the expression of religion, The medicine man is high priest, phys cian, singer, dancer and sets the stage for no mean drama. He de- pends upon his memory for every detail and teaches ‘the cult in turn to his followers, The legend reads that when “The Holy Ones” gave the ceremonies to man, the priests were enjoined to memorize them and destroy the originals, This was done, not only to avoid their falling into sacriligeous hands, but princi-{ pally. to write them on the hearts of living men. They were therefore made in col- cored sand and destroyed the same day, they were made. Thus both paintings and charts passed on from generation to generation, changing gradually and many of them fading from the memory of even the oldest priests. ‘Thus many Indian medicine men were called upon to assist in fur nishing the true paintings that re- mained in their memories, and these were: checked by Sam Day, Jr., of St. els, an authority on Navajo! ,» who contributed the ori- ginals of the paintings and superin- tended the work, so that no detail was: overlooked. These paintings, all of the Sacred Rituals of the -Na- vajos are not intended to be pic- torial, but every figure, every line and every dot is a symbol. By the use of symbols only, their painter priests appealed to the imagination and -the heart. One of the most prized paintings adorning the walls of El Navajo is that of “Nayenezgani, The Man Who Killed Fear.” It is a sand painting of peculiar sacredness to the Nava- jo and hastbeem made but rarely. Second in religions importance is the picture of the “Ascension of Dinae-e-di-gini” or “Young Holy One.’ Among the other sand pictures, now painted on the Walls of the ho- tel are those'!"xpnttiblizing “The Clouds,” “The Arrow Ceremony,” “The Eagle Ceremony,” “The Sky Man;” “The Earth Mother,” “The Bear,” “The Pollon Boy” and “The Harvest Beetle.” When the Navajo tribe heard that the sand pictures were to be trans- ferred and perpetuated they insist- ed on dedicating the hotel with the ritugl of their race and performed the ritual of “The Blessing of the House.” In’ a ‘previous ceremony, the. evil spirits had been thrown out and the! ritual contained no words of any evil .or unlucky thing or spirit. steag all that is good and beautiful was invited to take possession of the idwelling and its occuparts and leave no room for evil spirits to re- turn, The initial chant, sung dur- ing *the procession of the Medicine Men, was an invocation to the “Un- namgd God”, He was petitioned to blegs not only the house, but all its; occupant: and’all that pertained to, it ag far as the mountains on the fourg sides of it. ; paintings were blessed with! a@ special ceremony, the procession from, picture to picture, stop- for the leaders to sprinkle each ire. with’ the sacred corn pollon. ifter these particular blessings werg. invol number of other ‘chi were sung and ‘the ‘medicine gen: sprinkled the meal from the : ined piecarae over the ‘building and pi pi CUTS DETROIT | By Maurice Henle NEA Service Writer Detroit, July 16. y safe on the highwa meet the undertaker!

Your heart jumps up in your mouth, to borrow an old phrase, and when you get across safely, you are thrill- ed to the core, and give vent to a Jong, thankful Ah-h-h! So when it decided to start a permanent safety-first campaign, those in charge set about to do it right. They erected before the city hall a white monument, and on it had inscribed the names of those killed in traffic accidents during the pre- sent year. A long list jt is, too. Then they thought of the man who profits, but gets no pleasure from these fatalities—the undertak- er. Life-size cardboard figures re- sembling what the public long has come to associate with the embalm- ing profession were placed at van- tage points along main thorough- fares.

But Detroit went farther. Along the highways leading into the city, huge white crosses have been erect- ed. They k like crosses over the graves in France. Only they are big enough to be seen a_ mile off. And on cach is a legend: “John Smith, age 23, died here in a traffic accident!” It gives the visitor something to think about. But that wasn’t all, A week be- fore the campaign started the let- ters “R. U.” four feet high, were painted on all sidewalks at cross- ings. Everyone wondered. Then the word “Careful,” was added.

Street cars were plastered with them and the Detroit News offered $2000 in prizes for best solutions of the traffic problem. Th campaign differs from all others ever held in it that it will not last only a week. It extends over 52 weeks, and what already has been done i Bene way, will be tensified in each section of the city. “And what is the solution?” I ask- ed Inspector Jackson. S “Education!” he answered prompt- ly. “We must educate the people to be careful. We will put in this regulation and that -regulation, but how can you prevent accidents due entirely to people’s carelessness? You never will prevent them. ‘Many’ accidents, are. due .merely to rank heedlessness.. We have one ultimate hope. That is in the chil- dren of today. We are going i the schools and teaching first, and year by year, we will i crease their knowledge. “It is discouraging to see so many persons of the illiterate type driving. What can you do when you have people like these to deal with? “Last April we killed one a day. It was terrible. But that we can ed- ucate, in a way, through ever! ing persistence is shown because, during Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday of the first week of the campaign, not one per- son was killed. On the next day that record had to be spoiled, and how it was spoiled shows clearly just what a real problem we have. “A street car was coming down What the World Is Doin CAS SEEN BY POPULAR cMECHANICS cMAGAZINB An Improvised Smokehouse When it is necessary to smoke small quantities of meat, and no smokehouse is available, one can readily be impro- vised from a laundry stove, a barrel, and a support such as a sawhorse or wooden box.

With an assessed property valua- tion of more than $300,000,000, the governor pointed out that the bond- ed indebtedness of the island is lim- ited to $30,000,000 and that the pte: ent indebtedness is only $11,000,000. He suggested the authorization of an additional issue of $5,000,000 in bonds, the refunding and interest charges for which can be adequate- ly cared for out of existing sinking funds. “Our credit is as good as that of any state in the Union, and should be kept so,” said Gov. Town- er. “Even with the addition con- templated, our bonded debt will to- tal but little more than half of our limit of indebtedness, and it will be taken gare of by a tax of slightly! over two mills. Among the projects proposed, and to be paid for by the bond sale, are the completion of the capital build- ing; the building of a new insane sylum, a new penitentiary, and ‘a school for the blind; the develop- ment of community centers through the co-operation of the departments of education and agriculture by building in designated districts mo- del consolidated rural schools near model farms, and the strengthening of the University: of Porto Rico by means of more buildings, equipment and faculty. That there are 200,000 children in the island without school faci ties,” the governor said, “is a con- dition that ought not long to exist. I know how you have already strain- ed your resources to better condi- tions, and this we must not only continue to do, but we must even do better.” In order to obtain any grants or concessions from congress, the gov- ernor pointed ont, “we shall best serve our purpose by uniting to bring existing conditions in Porto Rico up to the best possible stand- ard.

S, S, OREGON. EA Service, rtland, Ore. July 17—U.7S. 8. Oregon, famous veteran of the seas, is being prepareg to scttle here into her final berth in the Williamette River. She will be towed in amid coloftul formalities from the Bremerton |, (Wash) navy yard, to remain here as an historic meiforial of her glo- Tious past. After some 27 years of active ser- vice in the U. S, Navy, this battle- ship, with one of the finest records of achievements in naval history, has been “loaned” to the state of her name by the federal- government. When next Congress convenes, the legislature is expected to transfer the ship permanently as an historic gift to the state of Oregon. The Oregon will be remembered for her remarkable dash from San Fran- cisco, around, Cape Horn to Key West'—a distance of 14,706 miles to join Admiral Schley’s figet in Cu- pan waters. She was the Pacific flect’s finest then, having been com- missioned only two years previously. After her 68-day trip through the Straits of Magellan, she helped rout Admiral Cervera’s ficet, by Po It was this prolonged run around South America that clinched the ar- gument for the necessity of building the Panama Canal, and affording a short cut from coast to coast. y Her last offi duty was to act as reviewing ship in 1919, when the Pa- cific flect passed before President Wilson in Puget Sound. When the Washington disarma- ment conference decided on scrap- ping parts of the world’s navies, the Oregon was listed for the junk. heap. But California, Washington and Ore- gon stepped in with bids to save fe ship as a memorial. Oregon won the honor on condition that the ship be maintained by the state. It is costing the federal govern- ment a little more than $14,000 to re- furnish the Oregon at the Bremerton navy yard, although only so far as her appearance is concerned. She is so disabled mechanically that she will have to be towed into Portlana harbor. This, it is expected, will take place about September. The last Oregon legislature has al- ready appropriated $15,000 for the battleship’s upkeep. This is expect- ed to be the annual appropriation for its maintenance, RRR RR RRR PRR RRA LARA ALAR RAPALA AEP APSA RAPALA, out illiteracy and in the education! of the people, in the aid we give the sick and afflicted, in the steps we! take to elevate labor and lessen the! burden of poverty, in all that makes for a clean and efficient adminis- Yration of government,—these are the things that will be most effec- tive in convincing a just and gener- ous nation of the reasonableness of our-claim for a larger measure of autonomy and for a place among the brotherhood of States.” o——____________________ 7 THE WEATHER | o cy For Bismarck and vicinity: Pro- bably showers tonight and Wednes- day.

TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1928 yi Government Broadcasts Predicted for Future { Ultimately radio broadcasting will become a public or governmental agency, prophesies Prof, C, F. Jancky, professor of electrical engincering at the University of Wisconsin and a member of the National Radio Con- ference. In the July issue of Radio, Prof. Jansky points to the tendencics that cause him to make this prophecy. These he puts into three classes. First, he says, there is the expense of installation. and. operation, which already has caused many. station: originally erected mainly for sel! }advertising purposes, to suspend op- erations. “The value of. broadcast- ing for such purposes is only tem- he wi “and this value is hardly commensurate with the ex- pense of installation and operation.” Second, more and more difficulty is being experienced in getting suit- able material for broadcasting, “Many broadcasting stations,” he ‘|Says, “started out .at a pace which was certain to Icave them gasping within a short time. * * * Diffi- culty to find suitalbe material for broadcasting when coupled with the stand of lyceum bureaus and other booking agencies prohibiting the broadcasting of performances by their artists will soon lipit the mu- sical programs to repreductions by a phonograph with which broadcasting started. This, of course, will not hold any radio audierices.” No Competition, Therefore, concludes Jansky, broad- cast matter must have a permanent value and must not compete with other agencies, such as phonograph makers and concert directors, that {ean do and produce the same pro- gram more efficiently. would do credit to that prophet of jazz, F. Scott Fitzgerald, be found in such remarks as “the father of a modern girl ought to be a night watchman”—but there are charac- terizations that reveal the amusing contrasts between the past and present generations. The Bowdens, who belong to yes- terday, find their pleasure in soci- ables and the home orchestra, but their daughter who represents the ages of jazz finds hers in the ridicu- lous revels of the sensation-seek ing set at the country club. It is a toss up as to which is the funniest, the trick orchestra that makes life at home miserable for the up-to- ate Bessie Bowden, or the silly parties in which the younger~ sect indulge. Last, but not least, there’s the servant in the house who gets the craze for jazz. The milkman who scrves the Bowdens thinks that the daughter of the house is running a contest with the maid to see who can get home the earliest. Alice Howell, the inimitable comedienne, takes her fling in drama in the role of the slavey. er attempts to keep up the pac et by the ex- ample of her employer’s daughter are as ludicrous as the satire, of the story.

Kalin broadcasting has possibilities of ser- vice to people in. remote regions which no existing agency fulfills. It in this fielq that broadcasting must | ultimately function. Boen to “Urban communities today served by other means of communi- catton more effectively than they can be served by radio, but no xgeney of communication possesses the po- tentiality of service to rural munities that is inherent in rad But, asks~ Jansky, will private broadcasting stations continue this service without some financial gain? “The fact that radio is unique in ‘hat by means of it economic, edu- cational and climatic information aving a wide public appeal may be eminated,” he concludes, “and the ‘act that the public must ultimately, in some way or other, finance such projects, seem to indicate that broad- casting will become a public or gov- ernmental agency, “It will be an agency par excel- lence for eliminating the effects of geographic differences .and for the creation of.greater national and even international harmony.” | MANDAN NEWS | Irving E.
