NIGHT GOLF TO BE ATTEMPTED Chicago, July 30.— (U.R) —An at-! •enipt to popularize night golf—not I , the miniature kind—will be made at a 9-hole course opening at West Wilmette Saturday night. Nine steel towers, each 75 feet ! I high, have been installed on the short course pt a cost of about $32,000. Tests made this week reveal that the flight of the ball is more ' easily followed under this lighting system than in the daylight. The distances of the holes vary ! from 75 to 165 yards, and all clubs i may be used except wooden ones i which are barred because of the danger of long drives hitting other i players. *| The sponsors of the project be-' j lieve that if it meets with the expected success the ancient game of i golf will be revolutionized through-: , ■ out the country. Other attempts at night golf failed because of poor lighting, hut engineers who installed the lighting system at the West Wilmette course have assured the owners, Joe Roseman and J. D. Cunningham, that' the illuminating system will not handicap the present effort. • -Q.. .

HOPI INDIANS PREPARE FOR SNAKE DANCE Rites, Under Blazing Desert Sun, To Bring Rain — Flagstaff, Ariz., July 30. (U.R) Under a blazing desert sun far out in the wastes of the Arizona desertland, chieftians of the mesaj dwelling Hop! Indians snake clans are turning their attention toward [the most savage of southwestern Indian rituals — the Hopl Snake i Dance. The rites are held in AugI ust. Mystic signs, shadows cast by the sun or moon, according to legend, set the date for the Hopis to plead I for the Gods of the Underworld to send rain. Runners carry news of ' the date across the desert to the (seven mesas about 15 days before the dance. If custom is followed, dances will be held at Walpi and Mishonghovi, because this season in Hop! calculations is an odd numbered year. On even-numbered years the ceremonies are held at Hotevilli, ShipI aulovi and Shungopovi, larger of ' the settlements. Dead Clan Leader Mystery shrouds the death of Chief Shu-pela, high priest of the Snake Clan. Whether a successor will be named the Indians declined to say, but the ceremonies will continue as usual. The aged clan leader, director of the ceremonies for many years, died last winter! and fears that the dances would be discontinued were current. For years Chief Shu-pela direct- < ed the ceremony. He participated' in the heathen prayer to the Rain Gods of the Underworld by chant-i ing to the sacred messengers—the snakes of the desert. The actual dance is spectacular I and draws thousands across the [ desert to the magnetic Hopiland. I Two clans are active in the rites. [ The Antelope Clan, Alosely united with the Snakemen since a leg- ’ endary antelope was saved by a snake who cured the animal after' injecting deadly poison into its [ body, sing and dance during the j rain prayer. From 60 to 80 snakes, more than half of them deadly rattlers, are j used. The snake priests dance with the snakes for more than an! the pueblos, built on high mesas.

Striking Spectacle The snakes are handed to members of the snake clan from a kisi, a bower built of cottonwood boughs while the antelope clansmen chant heathen prayers to the accompaniment of rattlers and throbbing tom-toms. Painted in gaudy sash- ! ion, the dancers present a striking spectacle with the buzzing rattlesnakes and wriggling bull snakes , clasped in their hands and mouths. After an hour's ceremony, the dancers grasp handfulls of the struggling deputies and speed in six directions pointed out by the head chieftian, who draws a large circle of corn flour. The six directions are different portions of the underworld, home of the plumed Water Serpent. God of Rain. Breathless, the tired dancers lope back across the desert shortly before sundown, having returnd the messengers of the Gods to their dwelling places in the desert unharmed. Use <yf medicines prepared by aged squaws prevents rattlesnake poison from causing the dancers illness, but the contents of the mixture are closely guarded as a sec:,’t and remain as much of a mystery as other phases of a fast vanishing savage rite — the Hopi Snake Dance. BRITISH SHOW SHIP TO TOOR LONDON—(U.R)— A new attack by British manufacturers upon the lucrative South American markets will be waged on November 1, when the ship British Exhibitor kails from London.

FRENCH BUILD TOY DIRIGIBLE PARIS —(U.R) —While still opposed to the building of huge rigid 1 dirigibles of the Zeppelin and Akron type, the French Govern- 1 merit has had constructed and successfully tested a noval pony | dirigible which represents the maximum of fighting or commercial efficiency yet attained by small rigid airships. This new dirigible, destined for the French navy, is capable of about 60 miles an ‘hour, as fast as many of the heavy bombardment planes and yet so easily managed that it can bfe operated by a single pilot and his mechanic. No other military force possesses such a handy airship, capable of carrying 1 1-3 ton of bombs or air mail. The gasbags have a capacity of 3,400 cubic meters, and the ship is driven by two 120horsepower motors. This new ship, known as the Zodiac VII, is so small that it can Ije housed in the average aeroplane hangar. Its cabin is built into the framework of the trilobe balloon, so as to give great rigidity to the whole ship. This permits it to turn in a distance of twice its own length, at full speed,' without danger. The Zodiac VII will be able to! land without a ground crew, for [ it has a pneumatic Ifumper which! can be replaced by pontoons if the I airship is to be used over water. These will permit safe landing, even in rough seas. The French believe that airshins would have certain advantages for mail carrying to the African colonies over airplanes and it is possible that the Zodiac VII may make a test flight for that purpose.
