While a crescent mucin streamed

yards and yards of lovely melody
and harmony into the fragrant
Hummer air to bo heard by nearly
1000 persons who uttended a bi
monthly concert that was unique
because only "old-favorite" num
bers were played. It was an easy
concert to listen to easy not only
because tho numbers wero melo
dious and beautiful but because
were "oid friends" to the lb.
toners who caught the spirit of
them without effort.
"The old pieces are ulways tho
best, was a remark heard often
as some particular favorlto like
"Uoqked In the Cradle of the Doep"
or perhaps "Hweet and Low" were
heard. And then, who can resist
the ' lilting rythm and melody of
UeKoven's "Kobut Hood?" It's just
naturally one of those happy num
bers that makes one glow and one's

With undiminished enthusiasm' the
Hannock, Shoshone and Lemhi In
dian braves today went through the
contortions of their strangest ritual,
the sun dances to the accoin punt
mem of the reverberating throb or
a huge tom-tom; and the wolrd
chunt or the stiuav.s. i
The hours or continuous errort
without food or water since the
dance started at sundown yester
day hav In no nay dulled the spir
its of the dancers. The ceremony
will continue without Interruption
until sunrise Monday, when the
strongest brave will be declared
the greatest dancer. Tho squaws
will then prepare a banquet to
break tho thre-day fast of the
tribesmen.
Object to Orouil ,
Home or the older tribesmen ob
ject strenuously to the spectators
and complain that the ritual In
tended as a means for the bravea
(o gain health and spiritual per
fection from their sun god, Is be
ing commercialized. White visitors
who Journey to the scre are
charged a nominal fee which Is
turned Into the tribal funds,
i Younger Indluns, however, make
every effort to accommodate tho
spectators. "Hot dow" and "cold
drink" venders hawk thelr wares
Just outside the circle reserved for
the dancers and the visitors desir
ing photographs may secure them
by making substantial donations to
the tribal treusury.
Occasionally a brave, overcome
by exhaustion, fulls to the ground,
but he returns lu his place as soon
as he recovers.
On the third und final day all the
braves make It u point to remain
on their reet, dancing then with a;
