A yellowed leaf drifts softly toward the ground And others follow, floating through the air That's hot with August sunshine.

There they lie Mute symbols ofhe cycle of the year; The first faint hint that Fall is drawing nigh. Though summer still is here and flowers bloom These fading leaves that dot the quiet green Of lawns and fields are couriers who bring A message telling of a changing scene So soon to come; when red and gold and rust Will clothe the hills in brilliance. Overall A cloak of flaming beauty will be drawn And once again we'll greet the radiant Fall. Philip Higgins dr. DOCK8TADER gives considerable space to the evidence, which, la prety well conclusive, mat the Kachina practice existed before any white men cam to the Southwest.

His summation of this matter Ja Important; it takes ear one and for all of the startling and superficially plausible Idea advanced by Dr. Parsons in the early 1930 that th Ka-chlnas derived from th Roman catholic concept of ealnta, to which the Kachina concept shows some noteworthy parallels. That idea was a bombshell at the time The thought that belief and practices lying at th very core of Hopl-Pueblo religion, end Indeed of the whole culture, might be of alien and recent origin, had all the anthropologists In a dither. We can dismiss It now. BECAUSE It Is among the Hopts that the Kachina business can best be studied, the author sets his description In a context of Hopl life in general.

He goes on to describe the cult Itself In Interesting and understandable terms. His erudition, as a matter of fact, Is stupendous. hie reading enormous, his direct observations excellent, yet none of this leads him off Into ponderous or pompous scientific language He writes an Interesting chapter on the Kachina dolls and what we know which Is not too much about their age and evolution. This chapter can save a lot of people from buying trash Finally, he discusses the changes In masks and the new Kachina of recent years, with their faint reflections of the THIS SEEMS to be th asaton for anthropological books of genual Interest I have in hand a volume that ehould be In every Southwestern library, side by sutq with Cotton1 Hop!

BY IT3 THEE, end by Dr. Dock-staders expressed Intention, the purpose of his work Is to determine whst influences the white men have exercised, from the time of the coming of the Spaniards up until now. Actually, It does much more than that Before the white mans Influence which In fact Is not great can be considered, It Is obviously necessary to understand the native cult The Kachina beliefs are that Important and quite lofty portions of Pueblo and Hopl Indian religion best known to us through Its expression In the masked dances, when the dancers represent the sa'-red beings or spirits called Ka-ihtnax Among non-Indians, there Is a lot of crude misunderstanding ot these rites, which arise from quite elaborate, long-evolved concepts of an advanced nature.

Also immediately prior to the same meeting a High-wa Commission spoke 'man told anotlui lepoiter the commi'sioti planned to tighten up specifications for road oil, ihatgmg an inferior quality had beta used by the rtne on sexual occasions. It appears logical to us to put two and two together and imagine that some of the inferior road oil one spokesman talked about was used on the loads to whic the fedlow referred. Rut maybe thats oversimplification. Rut what we can't understand, if the first spokesman is conect, is why the so-called cold weather" asphalt started seeping oil as early as last Match and Apnl, when ghway Department crews began sanding U.S. 285 between Santa Fe and Lspanola.

Since that time, when an INpanoIa tourist court operator called the matter to our attention, crews have been at work spoiadically tossing and gravel out on the highway to sop up the quanti-tn of oil sen ping through the surface. The result has been to endanger life and limb by presenting motorists with a treacherous driving surface; to obscure the yellow line markings along the highway; and to provide autoinobile windshields and enamel with a hardly attractive pockmarked surface. To a lav man least, it appears something went wrong in the surfacing of 285. Perhaps it was substandard mad oil, or maybe it was faulty construction, or even lm-pmper specifications for the job. Regardless, however, of the cause of the present deplorable situation, the responsibility remains with the Highway Department.

And we wish the department would get to the bottom of the matter and correct the deficiencies. IN THE NEW England Journal of Medicine, for June 17, 1954. Dr. Leonid 8 8ne-gtreff and Miss Olive M. Lorn- bard, reported bard, reported a study they made I of 4,104 question- 'J.

ECLIPSE BLINDNESS It Is to be hoped that, during the recent eclipse, no one watched the sun without looking through over-exposed photographic film or some specially smoked glass.

During the eclipse of 1948, one eye clinic In California had 23 cases of eclipse blindness, with most of the victims children. Obviously, to look at the sun Is like using a burning glass on the most Important int in the eye which is the visual spot It is that one spot which enables us to read and tc see details. When this spot Is destroyed by the tun's rays the person Is likely to be in sertoui trouble. He cannot hope for a cure CURE FOR NEUROSES? Three highly Intelligent, unmarried women in their 30's recently all complained that after going to see a physician because of feelings of fatigue and nervousness, the doctor had Immediately told them that their cure waa to be found In going out and getting married. The women said they were rather disgusted with the advice, and their question now Is, was the doctor Justified In saying what he did? Is marriage, and especially a loveless marriage, a cure-all? Isnt there some other way In which a spinster can get rid of aches and pains? With all due respect for the wisdom and good sense of some of my colleagues In medicine.

I Just can nalres they got back from member! of the Massachusetts Medical Society. One-sixth of these doctors reported ALVAREZ that they had never smoked, and one-stxth said they had recently quit because of adverse publicity. Another one-fifth have cut down on the amount of tobacco used. Only 0 7 per cent had changed from cigarettes to a pipe or cigar, and another 0 7 per cent wrre trying to make up their minds to quit; 3 3 per cent said that they were now using filtered cigarettes. Interesting Is the fact that 55 6 per cent of the smokers said that they had accepted the Idea that smoking accounts for cancer of the lung, and 62 9 pei cent ol those ho never smoked had accepted the Idea.

Interestingly, the number of doubters was greater among the amokers INTERESTING, also, Is the fact that only 1 9 per cent reported amoklng more than two packages of clgarets a day Some 80 per cent had never smoked a cigar, and another 3 7 per cent only occasionally smoked a cigar There were 3 8 per cent who smoked 29 or more cigars a week. Since one cigar ts supposed to be equivalent to 10 cigarettes, thU means pretty heavy cigar smoking Some 80 per cent of the physi Washington just two current Senate were members of the 1929 8enate that took the last vote of censure one of their own members They are George of Georgia and Hayden of Arizona, both Democrats The man they both voted as bringing dishonor and disrepute on the 8enate exactly 25 year ago was Hiram Bingham of Connecticut who had placed Charles L. Eyan-son, of the Connecticut Manufacturers Assn, on hla Senate let him sit In a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee The standards of the Senate seemed considerably higher In those days thsn during the current debate over McCarthy of Wisconsin One year before, the Senate had voted to expel two of Its own members. Vare, of Pennsylvania, and Smith, of Illinois, for spending too much money In their election campaigns Senators at that time felt keenly about the prestige and dignity of the body to which they belonged The view I take of the question, Ben George told the Senate, Is simply this that the official act of each one of us has a public quality, and that act Is either in the Interest of the public good or It is contra! to the Interest of the public. It either promotes confidence In the processes of government or It tends to weaken public confidence In the processes of government Sen.

Bingham argued eloquently his own defense No senator la to be criticized, he said, If he chooses to place members of his family In these clerical positions if he appoints cousins, nieces, sons or daughters Sen. Smoot of Utah, a Republican stalwart, intioduced a resolution calculated to spare Bingham somewhat. It omitted his name But George and Hayden, among others, were opposed My Interpretation of the resolution is this, said George, referring to the Smoot amendment, and with this unde-standing I shall vote against the substitute, because I regard that as meaningless, something like the poetry at the head of Kipling's chapters, it has not anvthlng to do with the' real Issue that has been raised here We are concerning ourselves with the public morals, with the public interest, the quality of official conduct and act the manner In which that conduct or that act affects the public welfare The vote, 54 to 22, decldtd that Sen Binghams action was "contraiv to good morals and senatorial ethics and tends to bring the Senate Into dishonor and repute, and such conduct Is hereby condemred Note Twenty years laer, a Democrat, President Harry Truman, performed a great act of rehabilitation by appointing Bingham, a Republican, as chairman of the top loyalty board Bingham had learned his lesson. He acquitted himself well FLEXIBLE FLANDERS Vermont xugged Sen Ralph Flanders, once head of the Federal Reserve nk of Bo-ton, who owns a thriving tool factory and has developed 29 industrial patents, good naturedly complained that Sen. Lyndon Johnson had been pestering him Johnson has advt-ed Flanders not to be too rigid, to permit some give-and-take regarding hia resolution of censure against Sen.

McCarthy. The persuasive senator from Texts was so persistent with the stubborn senator from Vermont that Flanders remarked to friend It looks like Lying-Down Lyndon wants me to be flexible Flanders KNOWLAND REVERSESSen. Knowland's buttonholing of GOP senators to stifle the Flanders resolution got him on something of a hot spot. For too many senators remember how, no later than Feb. 24, Knowland announced that the Senate should abandon Its present system under which senior members of committees become chairmen They should be chosen, Instead," Knowland said, In accord with the policies of the majority party No man has bucked the majority party more than the senator from Wisconsin.

He has pilloried Its secretary of the Army, criticised its secretary of state, set himself above the President Nevertheless, Knowland completely reversed his position of Feb 24 and did not even want the Senate to vote on a censure resolution by a fellow Republican. MAIL-ORDER CRACKDOWNS There have been three interesting mail-order crackdowns In the past year resulting tn Interesting political repercussions One case caused a man to run loi lieutenant governor of Oklahoma. The most famous case was that of Pink cowboy Williams, who last year distributed the famous cattlemen's convention cards Inviting all cattlemen who voted for Ike to be present the day after you are foreclosed and have you kicked free and all the crow you cun eat. have no fear the secretary of agriculture is praying for you. When the cattlemens cards came to the attention of Elsenhower post office officials, Ross ley former GOP congressman from Oklahoma, then post office solicitor, banned them fiorn the mails as Indecent and filthy.

Cowboy Williams appealed, and on his way to Washington from Oklahoma picked up a series of post cards at bus stations and restaur, ants which appeared to be far more Indecent, Nevertheless the maU order against him stood and cattlemen's convention cards henceforth have been banned from the malla. Meanwhile Ross Rizley and Cowboy Williams, both of Oklahoma, have gone on to other things. Rizley has become assistant secretary of aguculture, and as such recently sfrike before the Texas Cattle Raisers Assn in San Antonio and the New Mexican Cattlemen's Assn Albuquerque, where he promised This administration will never let the Cattleman down. Simultaneously, Cowboy Williams was running lor lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, and, believe it or not, forced Lieutenant Gov. James Bsiry, who has been lieutenant gov error lor 20 yeais, into a run-off.
