These dances were first exhibited | in Hartford about three v.ars ago | at the state armory under the d rection of Ralph Hubbard, son of | Elbert Hubbard and an avthority on Indian lore, the affair being un- der the auspices of ihe Hartford Boy Scout council. Tha leaders of Troop 28 were so impressed with the pos- sibilities of such a troop program that they soon after adopted the idea as a patrol project. The program Saturday evening will open with a tribal procession where gifts are offered to the sun | god while the medicine man propi- | tiates the various spirits of the four | winds, Mother Earth and the sun | himself. The dances will include the Sioux elrcle dance, a social dance taken from that tribe and the Crows, and, as its name implies, of a purely social nature and the Objibway scalp dance, in which the boastful war- rior acts out the story of his mchievement from the stalking of the cnemy to his ultimat victory, The devil dance, one of the most spectacular as well as dramatic, de- picts & young warrior who has de- fled the discipline of his tribe. His taunts and threats have become un- bearable to his people and he is killed by a spear thrown from the crowd. A victory dance is then per- formed over his body and his im. plements and trophies are taken by three performers. Eventually o *blood brother,” a friend who has taken & vow to aid him at all times but in this instance has entered the spirit land, appears and rescues the lost soul. The medicine man dance is per- formed by the medicine man of the Sioux and represents a special cere- mony in case of famine or plague. ‘This 1s primarily a solo dance Wwith the assistance of several others. The Great Plains war dance de- plets the fervor to “which the In- djans worked themselves prior to & battle. The dance is full of vim and | excitement and quite thrilling to | the audience. The buffalo dance simulates the | activities of a herd collecting on the | prairle of an early morning. This is done with the idea of appeasing | the evil spirits who may make it | difficult to hunt the buffalo. Those taking part are Assistant | Scoutmaster Ronald L. Brown, who with aPtrol Leaders Edward Husted | and Everett Champlin will perform the solo work; Spencer Champlin, | tomtom beater; and Scouts Lawrenc Maynard, Albert Woodard, G. Ma- | son Hommel, Russcll Hayner, Wil- liam Dechtman, John Mooney, Jr., and Francis Sullivan. | Program Tonight | The exhibition will open cach eve- ning at 7 o'clock, but the programs | will not begin until 7:45 o'clock, al- Jowing the crowd plenty of time to inspect the hooths containing handi- | craft work of the varous troops. Features tonight include bugling by Jiagle Scouts Winthrop Warren and William Baker of Troop 4, a short humorous talk by Rev. Samuel Fisk of Berlin, songs by Miss Clara| Kindler, a first aid demonstration participated in by Troops 7 and 9 and judged by Deputy Commission- er Neil MacDougall, and an exhibi- tion of magic by Louis C.

The calmness and good humor of Marshal Foch are much appreciated by his doctors and are the subject of a sickroom story, which, whether true or not, reflects his disposition. ‘Written Order When the doctors first called he was suffering so much it was diffi- cult for him to speak. When treat. ment was decided upon the marshal motioned for a pencil and paper and wrote: “I don't want any of your medi- cines.” The physicians protested and ar- gued. Then KFoch wrote: “Very well, if that's the case, 1 will, but I demand a written order.” Professor Laubry gave the mar- !shal a thorough examination today, which he said reassured him. Heart Sound “The heart is sound,” Professor Laubry said. “There is nothing to fear from that.” Rumors that the marshal was to undergo an operation were denied by M. Laubry, who sald: “There has not been and there is no question of | operating on the marshal, whose $l1- ness must follow a normal course without a surgeon’s intervention.” The night passed without inci- dent. The Foch house was plunged in darkness except for a dim light in the window of the room in which the marshal slept while a nurse, the only person awake in the house, watched over him. The policemen posted at the door to ensure an un- troubled rest for the patient had nothing to do but to try and keep themselves warm. slow Down Automobiles and buses passing Rue De Grenelle, where the Foch home is, spontaneously slowed down a good distance from the Foch man- sion. They carefully abstained from using their horns so as not to dis- turb the illustrious patient. Americans in Paris have been sur- prised at the meager details of the illness of the marshal in the French newspapers. The brevity in the no- tices was understood to be in deference to the desires of Madame foch and the marshal's family, who feared that too much publicity might have a bad effect on the mar- shal. So far they have been able to keep newspapers from him, but, in view of his insistence, they will be obliged to yield to his desire sooner | or later or their persistence will de- feat its own object.. The marshal, who is noted for his astuteness, has all his wits about him and would rapidly guess why he was deprived of his newspapers and become larmed. Delivers Typical Answer to Criticism Bethuen, Mass., Jan. 18 (UP)--An address delivered here last Novem- ber by John Spargo, former social- ist leader, in which he said, “S8haw has not had a new idea since 1880,” has brought a typical response from Dernard Shaw, |Shaw | George A postal card, received by the Rev. Egbert W. A. Jenkinson, pas- tor of the First Congregational thurch, carried this message: “Funny notion of Spargo's that revelation began after 1890 with hix discovery that his socialism was all wrong.
