RAINMAKERS SHAKE THEIR HEADS
Hopi Indians Hold Little Hope
For N.Y.; Advise: 'Move South'
Oraibi.Hopi Indian Reservation, Ariz., Dec. 10 U.R) Hopi
Indian rainmakers learned today of the drought in New York
and advised "dwellers in the big village to the east" to abandon
their hogans (Indian's word for hut) and move south "on the
wings of the eagle."
The Hopi tribe's 15 rainmak-l
ers, who according to their
tribesmen are blessed with the
ability to bring rain, hold little
hope for their white brothers in
the east.
"Pale face has failed in his
rain supplications," one rain
marker said. "He violated some
law of nature. He would be wise
to abandon his lodge and move
south."
Rarely does the water god
visit a village after a violation,
the Hopls warned.
Pennance to the rain gods was
the only hope they held for the
New York pale faces and their
sauaws,
"They must cleanse their
hearts and rid their village of
its sin. It takes supreme faith to
bring water,
The rainmaker only laughed
at suggestions that they divulge
their secret formula to white
men.
"No white man must ever
know," they said.
None was willing to incur the
wrath of the water gods by di
vulging the rainmaklng rites,
which are planned In accordance
with the moon, sun and stars
weeks in advance of the rituals
The rainmakers meet in under
ground caverns, known as "ki-
vas," to arrange their annual
dances to the rain gods.
The Hopls, however, were
willing to impart such phases of
rain making as are already pub
lic knowledge.
They were most willing to
send along a dozen or so dia
mond- back rattlesnakes the
same type used yearly in their
rain dances. They also are will
ing to toss in a half dozen as
sorted rain chants.
The venom-packed reptiles are
an important instrument in the
rain rituals. At the climax of
vuc uouu; ,iicy air: vuincu luu&e
in the parched desert to carry
"the messages'' to the under
world water gods.
One young brave, learned in
the ways of the eastern white
man, said the snakes could serve
a double purpose in New York.
He held a faint hope they
might precipitate a little pre
cipitation in the "tall village.'
And he was sure, he said, that
once on the loose in the big
town they would rid the "under
world" of its sin.
Morse Urges
Tax Revision
Washington, Dec. 10 (P) Sen
ator Morse (R-, Ore.) said today
he believes the republican party
should adopt the tax revision
program of the committee for
economic development as its ma
jor tax policy.
This program includes recom
mendations for a five year carry
forward of losses, elimination of
double taxation on corporate
profits, more liberal deprecia
tion allowances, elimination of
excise taxes and elimination of
tax free securities.
"If the republican party would
adopt this tax program .which
alms at eliminating the grave
inequities from the present tax
structure," Morse told a report-
the result would be such
stimulus to economic incentive
in America that there would be
ample income from new wealth,
new jobs and expansion of busi
ness so as to meet the expense
of government without any in
crease in taxes.
Morse returned yesterday from
a month s tour of his state.
He said he found the people
ot his state in hearty accord with
his belief that "my principal
duty in the senate is to vote for
issues on basis of facts, not from
the standpoint of narrow parti
sanship, or from the point of
view of republican expediency.
Morse planned to depart to
night for St. Louis, to address
the St. Louis liberal forum Sun
day night. He will then fly to
Oregon and drive his daughter
to Washington . to spend the
Christmas holidays with the fam
ily here.

'MAN THE BROOMS, MEN'
Running Household by Navy
Methods Brings Loud Yells
By BOB THOMAS
Hollvwood. Dec. 10 W Men, have you ever felt like telling
your wife that her housekeeping is sloppy and mismanaged?
That common urge is the pasis lor a new mm, wnicn pernaps
should rank among the "brave" films Hollywood is maKing.
The picture is "The Skipper Surprised His Wife," in which navy
officer Robert WalKer lanes oven-
household after wifie (Joan
Leslie) breaks her leg.
The navy man hangs a sign in
the kitchen: "There is a place
for everything and everything
has its place." On each cupboard
and drawer is a sign telling its
contents: "Chow locker," "China
Locker," etc.
Every minute of the day is
regimented, from the time the
two sons are awakened with a
loudspeaker announcing, "Man
the brooms, men!" Life is so
carefully scheduled that one boy
moans, "How do you get out of
thit man's navy?
Highlight of the film is when
Walker address a meeting of
navy wives:
"Housework need not be a
burden; it is just inefficiency
that makes it so.
"By adopting navy methods,
Most of you who complain.CapItal Journal, Salem, Oregon, Saturday, Dec 10, 1M9 IS
about your work are soap opera
addicts, fence hanger-overs,
salesmen encouragers, book-of-
the month clubbers or just plain
lazy.
'Women who greet their hus
bands looking weary or unat
tractive just don't have the in
telligence, integrity or gump
tion to work out a schedule and
stick to It."
The speech ends in a riot,
during which Walker is hit over
the head with a microphone.
"I'm going to have all the
women in America hating me,"
Walker told me afterwards, "But
in real life, 1 think the plan
could work. Houses can be run
more efficiently."
Notiy In case my wife reads
this, the foregoing were the op
inions of Mr. Walker and his
movie writer and do not neces
sarily reflect those of this reporter.
In Philadelphia, 85 per cent
of the homes are single-family
dwellings.

Among the many kinds of trees in existence, very few
retain their foliage during the cold winter months. Only
a few withstand the driving winds and storms and
still maintain beautiful green branches.
The graceful scene below shows a' remarkable
characteristic in the pine tree. Some miraculous
element within the pine enables it to display it's lush
greenery amid the whiteness of fallen snow.
Such are the amazing qualities of nature the
millions of wonders in God's creation.
In order to understand more fully the God-
given powers within ourselves, we must study the
Holy Word and attend regularly the
services of the Church. By doing .
this we will come to realize our
