“PEVOTE EATERS” RELIGION STUDIED ult, Spreading Amid Indians of West, Is Watched by Scientists. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. One of the strangest of the world’s feligions is making steady progress smong the Indian tribes of the Middle West despite a spirited modernist- fundanientalist controversy which splits 4ts membership. This is the peyote cnlt, now the sub- Ject of an intensive study financed by | the National Research Council and the University of Oklahoma. It is being conducted by Dr. Maurice G. Smith of the latter institution, who is working on & collection of manuseripts in the Bu- reau of American Ethnology after sev-: eral months of field ‘work There recently has been orgar Oklahoma. Mr. Smith says, the Nat American Church which seeks to gather | - in the scattered elements of the cuit| stretching northward as far as Can-| ada. At present, Mr. Smith says, the cult geems to be on the border line be- tween Christianity and the w-nmnwg nature relfgions of the various tribes, | but a determined effort is being made | to bring order out of this confusion Bible Provides Dispute. | At present some of the Oklahoma | groups keep the Bible on the altar and almost all use the name of Christ in their prayers, but the “modernists” wish to extend this so as to constitute | @ distinct Christian sect while the | fundamentalists are fighting for the retention of the Indian traditions. De- epite the controversy, active mi ary work is in progress and a highly educated leadership is being developed which promises to make the cult, in the face of opposition from many sources, & factor in the future of the Indian race, according to Mr. Smith. The peyote cult, he ‘points out, is| quite ancient in origin and originally was introduced into the United States from Mexico. But, until recently, it| was_confined to circumscribed groups €0 that it made little progress. Then came good roads and the purchase of tomobles by the Indians, which re- sulted in breaking down the close tribal lines. Before that Indians educated at | - Catlisle became converts and in turn converted classmates of other tribes. Eat Peyote Button, The religion is based on the curious effects of eating the peyote button, or dried top of a spineless cactus, which produces curious physiological effects resulting, presumably, in an exalted feeling and in visions. This, Smith points out, is the white man's inter- pretation based on experiments and many of the Indians themselves deny | the “visions.” He deprecates conclu-| slons based on a few experiments as comparable to a report on cigarette smoking by a person trying it for the first time. The description of gagging and nausea would seem very strange to a confirmed cigarette smoker who feels .no such effects. The interests of both the National Research Council and of the Univer- sity of Oklahoma is that of studying the evolution of a religion without coming to any conclusions as to whether it is good or bad. This af- fords a fine example, Smith says, of the development of a primitive religion. [Effects Are Observed. ‘The peyote cult has been vigorously in the past by the Indian of- fice and by most Christian missionaries although some scienticts and even some missionaries, have inclined to favor it. The need, says Smith, is for objective study of just what happens determine whether the practice really has a_bad physical or moral ef- fect. This he is carrying on by case studies of the cult members, and studies of the general psychology of peyote de- votees. He also is investigating the history of the cult and what actually goes on at the all-night meetings. The cult now extends, he says, as far north as North Dakota and as far West as Utah. It has not yet spread beyond the Indian race. It is especially strong among the Kiowas and Comanches of Oklahoma. In its very beginning the peyote cult was studied by the late James Mooney of the Bureau of American Ethnology, who was a confidant of the peyote-using Indians when most white men were looked ‘upon with suspicion. Mooney collected voluminous notes, containing much valuable scientific material, but died before these could be assembled into a manuscript. Smith now is work- ing over this material with the aid of Mrs. Mooney. Doctrine Is Confused. Smith has found among the peyote users somewhat confused theological doctrine. All attribute to the drug a mystical power, but some declare it is an “elixir of virtue,” eating it being equiv- alent to taking into the personality definite quantities of goodness. On the other hand, there are some who hold that peyote is not “goodness” in itself, but has the quality of bringing the user closer to a supernatural power, a doc- trine somewhat akin to the Christian doctrine of prayer The ethic of the peyote cult, Smith says, seems to be that common to the va | emergency THE SUNDAY Flying Colonel Leaps Four Times to Merit Title of “Ace.” Twice He Narrawly Elcap:s Disaster When Chase Him Down. Planes BY DON GLASSMAN. While barnstorming through Nebras- ka in 1922, Charles A. Lindbergh prac- ticed wing-walking ¢s a side-show for county fairs, On tour, he met Charlie Harden, a well known parachutist. Using Harden's chutcs, he took his first jump, a “double-dror” and consequent- ly, as a professional acrobat, wing- walker and paracautist, Lindbergh leaped 11 times beiore jump or In 1925 he flew his Canadian ¥ hay wire fittings—o Florida. Making a forced landing over unfavorable ground he ripped off the rolling gear and splintered the propellor. With the assistance of the Peasacola Naval Air Station he repaired the damage and tested his work with a borrowed Gov- nment regulation parachute, which provided the confidance to put the Canuck through maneuvers which he never would have creamed of doing| before He confided his life and career the shroud lines of a parachute.

Lindbergh _received tion at Brooks and advanced training at Kelley Field. His class, 1925, en- | joys the singular reputation of having | had nc major casualties. The only accident took place nine days before graduation ises. In that mishap, he first performed the role of protago- nist in aerial drama. { Five thousand feet over Kelly Field some SE-5's and DH4B's were practic- ing pursuit and attack formations. The leader of the pursuits led the onslaught. He would pounce on a DH4B prey like a taloned bird, his followers sweeping after. Such maneuvering draws three swift-moving ships together at a com- mon point, calling for consummate skill from each pilot. He must not only attend his own ship and the enemy, but avoid collision with other planes in his element. On this eventful day, March 6, 1925, fate threw the ships of | Cadet Lindbergh and Lieut. C. D. Mc- | Allister together at the handle of a| spectacular fan dive. Both pilots saw the approaching collision, yet were helpless in trying to avoid it. Mc- Allister flew on the defensive, figura- tively, for Lindbergh's propeller chewed into his right wing. The report Cadet Lindbergh filed with the Kelly Field commandant re- vealed that when his group nosed down | on the DH4B, Lindbergh _attacked from the left and Lieut. McAllister from the right. After Cadet Love pulled up. Lindgergh saw no other ships nearb; He passed above the DH4B and a moment later felt a slight Jolt, followed by a erash. Head Strikes Cowling. His head was thrown forward against the cowling and his plane seemed to turn around and harg nearly motion- less for a second. Then he closed the throttle and saw a SE-5 with Lieut. McAllister in the cockpit a few feet | on his left. He was upparently unburt and getting ready to jump. The ships were locced together with fuselages approximately parallel. Lind- bergh's right wing was damaged and had folded back slightly, covering the | forward right-hand corner of the cock- | pit. Then the ship started to mill | around and the wires began whistling. The right wing commenced vibrating, striking his head at the bottom of each oscillation. After he jumped backward as far | from the ship as possible, he noticed that the wreckage wes falling straight down tdward him. Fearing it might fall on him, he did not pull the rip cord until he had dropped several hun- dred feet and into the clouds. Lieut, McAllister floated above and the whcked ships passed about 100 yards to one side, continuing to spin | on the right and leaving a trail of lighter fragments along thelr path. Lindbergh watched them, locked in | embrace, crash about 2,000 feet below. | Both Lindbergh and McAllister won | Gaterpillar membership in this accl- ent. The Government had invested a $350 insurance premium in the career of each flying cadet, and 60 caterpillars had labored one year to spin the fabric of a silken Jifeboat, 19 Receive Silver Wings.

Lindbergh joined the Robertson Air- craft Corporation, St Loufs, as chief pilot for its commercial lines. While awaiting results on submitted bids to carry the airmail, he was induced by Ben ' Belle, an aeronautical engincer, to test a commercial plane newly designed. Lindbergh flew the ship twice. The first time he sought to cultivate an quaintance. She seemed to perform well. Manning the controls a second tine, on June 2, 1925 he essayed ma- neuvers that would -nally determine her airworthiness.

Led Over Uncharted Skyways. When the Robertson Aircraft Corpo- ration won the St. Louis-Chicago air mail contract Chief Pilot Lindbergh | shouldered the responsibility of main- | taining uninterrupted schedules. How | he did it and how he led a band of | pilots over uncharted skyways is a | chapter of the Lindbergh saga, | On April 15, 1926, two ships carried | the inauguration mail to Maywood | Field, Chicago. Over. the Summer | months most of the route was covered during daylight, but as Winter ap- proached, night fell just a few minutes | after departure from St. Louis. Night flying brought on trouble. Fog and rail multiplied dangers and delays. Inter- mediate ports were small and unlighted, But the air mail flew regularly and safely in bleak fog and sleet. One afternoon—=September 16—Lind- bergh rose off Lambert PField and crossed the Mississippt River as day waned (o the West. He picked up mail at Springfield and Peoria. “I left Peoria about 6 pm.” he re- ported to the Caterpillar Order. “There was a light ground hage; the sky was practically clear but scattered with cumulus clouds, “Darkness fell 25 miles northeast of Peoria, and I took up & compass course, | checking_on town lights below, untii | a fog rolled in under me a few miles | northeast of Marseilles and the Ili- | nois River. “. . . I turned back and attempted to drop a flare and land. The flare did not function. I again headed for Maywood, hoping to find a break in the fog over the field. Examination dis- | closed that the cause of flare failure was the short length of the release lever; it might still be used by pulling out the release cable.” Fog Mist of Coagulum. At Maywood the ground crew be- came apprehensive. Fiyers can rely on their homing sense, but this fog was a mist of coagulum 600 fegt thick, almost a solid blanket over terrain.

Comp: and dead reckoning had guided him directly over Maywood | Field. Just before 7 o'clock they heard | his Liberty whining, throwing echoes to the wind. Flying so near, they felt sure the pilot had seen the beacon or other ground lights. But to assure themselves they rolled out several drums of high-test | gasoline and ignited their contents in | midfield. Flames leaped and spat de- | fiance. They licked dampnes: the fog. A rousing reception was plan- ned for the pilot who had steered into port. Above the hiss of flames they heard his propeller swishing softly. The airman throttled his motor and groped, | blindfolded by fog. Strident metallic music filled the air as Lindbergh gunned the engine. He was circling the fleld, he: back south. Nowhere had he seen a guiding sunbeam or heard a beckoning shout, although he probably sensed the port’s nearness, Alarmed and anxious, the crew rush- ed to the fuel shack and rolled out more gasoline drums. They spun the beacon through her ares. Ship Lost Port, Hearing the chorus of Liberty re- cede into the fog, they knew the ship had lost her port. He was the only Jilot who glmed Ma; ield that night.

He knew they were towns bordering Maywood. Fog the port danced impishly in the elfin lights. “Several times,” he reported, “I de- cended to the top of the fog, which was 800 to 900 feet.

I glided my chute away from the spiral as rapidly as I could. The ship passed completely out of sight, but reappeared in a few seconds, its rate of desceat being about the same as that of the parachute. I counted five spirals, each one a little farther away than the last, before reaching the top of the fog bank. “When I settled into the fog I knew the ground was within 1,000 feet. I reached for my flashlight but found it missing. “I could see neither fog nor stars and had no idea what kind of territory was below. I crossed my legs to keep from straddling a branch or wire, guarded my face with my hands—an waited. , Drops Into Corn Field, “Presently, I saw an outline of the ground, and a moment later was down in a corn field. The corn was over my head and the chute was lying on top of the stalks. I hurriedly packed it and started down a corn row. In a few minutes I came to a stubble field and some wagen tracks which I fol- lowed to the farmyard a quarter-mile away.” Now a Caterpillar of the Third Degree, Lindbergh continued flying air mail all the Winter of 1926. He flew on clear starlit nights and nights on which the earth below anc heaven above were blotted by fog. Aside from that, he faced blinding snow and slant- ing sleet. The circumstances surrounding his winning of the Fourth Degree were analogous to the preceding jump. Flying north from St. Louls on the night of November 3, he encountered night about 25 miles north of Spring- field. The ceiling hung around 400 feet and a slight snow was falling. Passing Pekin, he flew at an alti- meter reading of 600 feet for about five minutes when lightness of the ground haze indicated Peoria. Twice he could see lights on the ground. He descended to less than 200 feet before they dis- appeared. After circling Peoria for 30 minutes he tried to find better weather by fly- ing northeast toward Chicago. He hnd ferried a ship from Chicago to St. Louls in the early afternoon, and at that time the ceiling was much better near Chicago than elsewhere along the route. Enough gas for about an hour and 10 minutes’ flying remained in the gas tank and 20 minutes in the reserve, hardly enough to return to St. Louis, even had he been able to navigate ¢i- rectly to the field by dead reckoning and flying blind the greater part of the way. Territory toward Chicago ‘was more favorable for a night landing. For the next half hour he flew north- east at about 2,000 feet altitude and then 600 feet. Numerous rifts showed in the clouds. Occasionally ground lights were visible over 500 feet. Climbed to Make Jump. He pulled to 600 feet, released the parachute flare, whipped the ship around to get into the wind and under the flare and lit at once. Instead of floating down slowly, however, it drop- ped like a rock. He saw the grournd for an instant, then total darkness. Meantime the ship was in a steep bank, Blinded by the intense glare from the descending flare, the pilot had trouble righting it. ‘Then he decided to leave rather than attempt a blind landing.

In this position the plane would gather speed and spiral to the right, possibly striking his para- chute after its first turn. He returned to the controls, and after rlxhu.nf plane dived over the left side of the cockpit while the airspeed registered 70 mile per hour and the altimeter 13,000 feet. “I pulled the rip cord immediately,” reports Lindbergh, “after passing the stabilizer. The Irvin chute functioned perfectly, I left the ship head first and was falling in this position when the risers whipped me upright and the chute opened. “The last I saw of the DH was as it disappeared into clouds just after the chute opened. It was snowing an very cold. * ¢ * “Pirst indication of my nearness to ground was a gradual darkening of space below. The snow had turned to rain. The chute was thoroughly soaked. “I sent the beam from my 500-foot spotlight downward. Ground ap- peared so suddenly that I landed di- rectly on top of a barbed wire fence without seeing it. It helped to break my fall, and the barbs did not pene- trate my heavy flying suit. “Rolling the chute into its pack, I started toward the nearest light. I soon came to a road, walked about a mile to the town of Covell, Ill, and telephoned a report to St. Louis.” For leaping 13,000 feet into a noc- turnal deep Lindbergh won a parachute jumping record in addition to Fourth Degree in the order. Forced descent by night could startle him no more. Alming at fine birdsmanship, he had courted death and won life, (Next—Four caterpillars, a bomber, & crash to earth and a fatality.)
