Later she will give several of her songs with pantomime work in Salem. .Nearly every evening while she was there the Indians danced either in a big, tent or outdoors in front of the many small ones, of which theTe were about one hundred. She was honored by being invited to join in the cere monies and dances of the Indians. The different tribes dressed ib their indi vidual garb and so in their different dances made a picture quite realistic to the native Indian life. Many of the musical instuments they havo niado themselves. Each day one of the Indian men rode around the vil lage proclaiming, in Indian language, what the particular festivities for that day would be. On July fourth thev began a Feast day whieh lasted for two weeks, and which, was held in honor of our Fourth of July holiday. Mis. Gingrich is mak ing an intensive study ot Indian cus toms and songs, because she realizes that in the peculiar minor harmonies of their music there is something very beautiful and yet different from other muffle, which lew people can appreci ate. Indian -music a superior m some of Hs qualities, because it has a far more spiritual meaning and more primi tive beauty than any other. Following is the Btory of one of the songs Mrs. Gingrich sang for the In dians: "Tin 'ega 'neiha" is the first ceremony of the day used by the cliff dwellers. Before the dawn of day breaks forth, the vibrating chimes plates are brought into aietion their whirr reaching the outermost dwellings of the pueiblo, brings the people to the roots and taps of the houses.

Amid the road of mg drums, he blaz ons forth the "call to rise" to tho surrounding mesa and receives froip them a pronupt and faithful response. Having 'fulfilled, his firs duty, he next makes a fervent appeal in the torm of a morning prayer, to tho 'mighty Sun-God" imploring in a low and tremulous voice, aid and guidance for bis people and conlndes by repeat ing his first suurise call again to the istant mesa.

Gillette, who has been visiting them, motored this afternoon, to the home of Mrs Thomp son's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Em- mel, near Portland.

Dallas Observer, Doughboys Mourn When Girls Leave By Frank J. Taylor (Vnited Press stuff correspondent) With the American Army in France, July lo. (By mail.) There is gloom iu a certain regiment of Yankees, and it is not because they haven t had op portunity to whip bodies. The regiment is going to lose what Uho men consider their most valuable asset, tho Mdu-tyro sisters, also known as the Salvation Army girls. The Mc Intyre sisters, Gladys and Irene, who have made' chocolate, doughnuts, pies and sandwiches for the boys of this rcg intent, sent letters for them, banked money, and who have been "good sis ters to every fellow iu tho regiment" havie been transferred to a new post. The troops holding this part of the line want to adopt the Mn-Intyre sis ters permanently and who wouldn't T When ithey came in the "goulash, kitchens," those wheeled smoking af-i fairs that look so good when a Yauk ia hungry, were nowhere in sight. The sis ters served toffoe in no time, and kept it up for three days. They had just 20 minutes notice tli'at a certain largo nnm ber of cups of coffee was wanted. Be ing efficient American girls, that was all the tuuo.ithey needed. "They're good pal, not aolls," ia the way tho doughboys compare the ragged lively American sisters with French girls out near the front. When the doughboy comrs around, he usually is eager to work, and- he's happiest who is given a job dipping doughnuts, cut: . tting wood, or doing anything -to help the Mclntyro sisters. It is a happy Am erican family, this, out here where the shells rain iu all too regularly, inter rupting even pie making and dough nut dipping for orders are that every one woot for dugouts when the boshes begin a bombardment. PracbLeally ev ery house in town has been hit and partly demolished. Hun Shells Miss Them These American soldier sirls have a dugout handy to sleep in. While they were absent n't work one dav a ahrao- nel shell come through tho roof end purtcitured the bed full of holes. There is plenty of excitement in this work, but very little time to pet excited. It is easy to s?o why there is gloom in a ctertain regiment at the front. Of course, there are Rome girl iust arriv ed in the. little village to take over the already established canteen of the Mc- Intyre sisters. But they are not the same as your own favorite tricd-and true, 'Sfek'k-through-shot-aad-shell-sisters the doughboys say. These brave pio neer girls are needed to begin another post. One thing is sure, some other reg imieiit is going to be made awfully hap py when the Mclntyre sisters join it. GOOD MARKSMANSHIP Washington., Jiiliy 27.
