The two ngers, Black Owl and Spotted Eagle, now are in Washing- ton on bhuein They will sing the war songs of the Strong Heart So- ciety and the songs of the sun dance and grass dance. All these ceremonies | re relics of the past, since the As- iniboine now are among the most cultured of American Indian tribes. The songs of the Strong Heart So- ciety will be rendered by Black Owl, in business life James Archdale. He is the son of a celebrated Assiniboine medicine man and inherited from his father his knowledge of the tribal music. Spotted Eagle, otherwise George Connor, will sing the accom- paniments of the two dances. After the radio performance Miss Densmore will attempt to record on a phonograph the peculiar music of the selections and afterward produce them in notation. The songs of the Strong Heart So- ciety were intended especially to in- cite to acts of bravery. The society usually occupled four lodges near the center of every village. There the | young warriors of the village would assémble every morning at sunrise and go out on their adventures in parties of four. Two carried rattles and two bows. Each party was sup- posed to return with a dog belonging o some prominent warrior of the village-—a pet dog, it possible. The carcasses were brought back, roasred | Objects of Ceremony.

This was part of the horseplay of the society. It had elaborate cere- monials in which the iniates were subjected to the great- est of physical agony and mental anguish as tests. The full member was accordes a war bonnet, elaborately decorated, as a sign of bravery. This he could wear until he was known to have been guilty of some act of cowardice, when it was taken away from him and he was disgraced for the rest of his life PRESIDENT WELL AGAIN; CREDITS CHLORINE GAS Back at Desk Early for Strenuous Day, He Says Cold Is En- tirely Gone.

The President and Mrs. Coolidge were the special guests of the Congres- sional Country Club at the opening last night, when thousands of guests, representative of the administration circle, both houses of Congress, diplo- matic representatives from all over the world and society folk from Washington, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other citles, were there to greet them. The event could better be called a fete than a reception, a real recéiving line ceasing with the arrival of the President and Mrs. Coolidge at a little after 6 o'clock, when they were greeted by the president of the club, former Representative Joseph H. Himes: the vice president, Senator George Moses; Col. K. Lester Jones, director of the coast and geodetic survey and chalrman of finance committee of the club, and Judge Oscar E. Bland of the United States Court of Customs Ap peals, all of whom were accompanied by their wives, President Dines at Club. The entrance of the President's car on the grounds of the club was greeted by an ovatfon. the Marine Band being drawn up before the club- house to play its usual welcome of ‘Hail to the Chief.” The president of the club was at_the entrance to greet Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, who im- mediately made an inspection tour of the club, and later dined with its officers in the President's suite, an elegantly appointed feature of the club set’ aside especially for the use of the President of the United States. Following the dinner the President and Mrs. Coolidge made another trip over the clubhouse uand the broad ter- races surrounding it, and when they left, at about 9:30 o'clock, they wers greeted on the highway by miles of automobiles, 1ining the winding road- way, closely parked on one side to admit of the passage of the presi- dential car and the secret service men accompanying them. Highways Lined With Cars. The vast company of invited and uninvited guests were on their way to and from the club from sunset to early morning hours. there seldom being less than two miles of automo- biles of every type strung alo road while many, eager to President and Mrs. Coolidge, left their cars a mile from the club, and men in evening clothes and women in filmy gowns and wraps and dancing | slippers walked on the edge of the dusty road to the clubhouse. The scene from afar was that of a great amusement place. the million-dollar club buildings and other adjoining buildings, the grounds and the high- ay being illuminated, while the sev- eral thousand cars parked on the golf course and in nearby orchards extended the vision of dazzling lights, giving the impression of a town in gala mood ruther than the opening of a country club. Every available inch of floor space was covered by the teeming mass of guests, only a few having the courgae to try a dance step in the crowded floor or even on the ter- r: F wers in great profusion were everywhere in evidence and on long anquet table set on the oor from which light refresh- ments w rved, there were bowls and vases the rarest blossoms.

Without a previous tryout In handling an unexpected mass of thousands of persons, the arrival and departure of guests was conducted in almost faultless manner, dozens of marines and sailors being stationed along the roadway into the club grounds and on the highway to as- sist in directing trafic.
