comedy “Way Out West” with a
fine supporting cast will be seen
at the MacGregor tonight and

cheating a group of cowboys
with a crooked roulett wheel
land him on a Western ranch
on the back of a bucking bron
cho. Involved in a series of es
capades he proves that he can

where “men are men.”

Healy, Edward Crandall, Kay
Renard, Sarah Edwards and
others.
There are big revue scenes in
which Eddie Cantor is seen and
heard and Rudy Vailee and Miss
M02 gan in a big revue sequence

RAYMOND ON WARPATH
-x
Ray L. Ready, itinerant lino
type operator born of a Haid.x
mother is the feature of quite a
story in the Seattle Star dated
the 7th of January. A previous
story “Be Sure You’re Right,” a
feature of odd facts appearing
in the Star was all wrong and
‘also all wet” according to ‘Chief’
R. L. Ready, a member of the
Haida tribe now residing in the
Stevens Hotel, Seattle.
Ray pointed out to the Star
the picture showing a Haidy
I Indian standing before a totem
| pole, in the background a
tepee and a birchbark canoe
was near. The Indian was wrap
ped in a blanket and a feather
adorned his hat. He smoked a
pipe. Said Raymond: “The Haida
Indians were the original totem
pole makers, and the Haida In
dian viewing the drawings
would certainly laugh his toe
nails off because of the awful
fix the paleface put him in. The
Haida Indians lived in houses
called smoke-houses. A hole in
the roof allowed the smoke to
escape. Feathers were never a
part of their make-up. Birch
bark canoes, heavens, what a
luxury! The Haidas hewed their
canoes out of cedar. “They are
slightly jealous of their ancestral
affinity, possibly because of the
extreme romantic aspect of the
totempole, which is the history
of the race. Every symbol on the
totempole has close connection
with some event in the Old Tes
tament. The writer is a mem
ber of the Haida tribe of Alaska,
and I have yet to learn that they
ever wore their hair in braids,
slept in tepees, wore blankets or
smoked the kind of pipe pictured
by the artist.” In all of which
Ray Ready is correct save re
ference to every symbol on the
totem pole having “close connec
tion with some event in the OUT

Insofar as the Tsimpshean, ■
Haida or Thlinget peoples of
Alaska are concerned, there nev
er was any Old or New Testa
ment in their civilization or re
ligion. They had their historic
and allegoric totems but never
having any written language
therefore having no acquaint
ance in any form with the Old
or New Testaments, before the
advent of missioners in Alaska,
there can be no relation of any
symbol on the Alaska totems to
any part of the Bible. Outside of
which the Alaskan will assert
that Hay Ready knows a lot
more about the Haida totems
and customs than the feature
writer on the Star who started
the “Be Sure You’re Right”
feature of odd facts.

LOSES TEETH AND—
GAINS EYESIGHT
Fourteen years ago in Chicago,
Mrs. Lillian Wallace, now 38
years old completely lost the
sight of her left eye. Physicians
advised that she have her eve re
moved to save the sight of her
other eye, but she refused.
Recently she had six teeth
pulled. Her jaw ached when she
leturned to her home. As she
rubbed her hand over her jaw,
she drew it in front of the eye
which had been blind. To her
amazement she could see with
that eye and now attributes the
recovery of her eyesight to the
extraction of her teeth.

PARROT SINGS AND PRAYS
“Old Soak” a parrot made
famous by belonging to Secre

'Hoover’s Cabinet, now has a
rival for fame. Over in Pomeroy,
Ohio is a parrot which repeats
the Lord’s Prayer and sings
“Nearer My God to Thee” owned
by Miss Sarah Brannon. The
trouble with this parrot accord
ing to its owner is that it swears
more often than it sings or
prays. According to some critics
the parrot is really a 100-per
cent church member.

A Junior A. N. B. organiza
tion has been started here. The
younger group, always rather
reticent when in with the older
men, felt that they could accom
plish the same work in a differ
ent way so they have started
this new organization under the
direction of the Kake Camp.
The idea has taken firm hold
with the youngsters in school
and they are going into the
work and movement with a vim.
Not much exciting in the way
of news here, nobody biting any
dogs or chewing any nails or
whatnot. The trapping season
has not been so bad so far but
the prices have been nothing to
brag about. It will take an aw
ful pile of mink to make a small
pile of the national medium of

NEGROES INTERVENE IN
AMENDMENT CASE
Permission to intervene in the
Supreme Court’s hearing on the
validity of the Eighteenth A
mendment, was asked last week
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People. Argument upon the de
cision of Federal Judge Clark in
New Jersey that the 18th A
mendment was adopted in an
unconstitutional manner has
been set by the Court for the 21st
of this month.
Counsel for the Association, in
asking leave to file a brief, stat
ed “the Negro citizens of this
country have an important
stake” in the recent decision of
Judge Clark. The Thirteenth
Amendment abolishing slavery,
the Fourteenth Amendment re
quiring due process of law on
the part of states and imposing
a penalty upon such states as
failed to recognize the rights of
the Negroes, and the Fifteenth
Amendment, which guaranteed
the right to vote, were adopted
in the same manner as the Eigh
teenth Amendment.
