Fraser says of Japanese childhood may also be said of the Hopis

"Little children are the treasure flowers of life, and that which

ministers to their happiness is never considered trivial, but re-

garded as a necessary part of

family occupations." The birth

of a child is an occasion for

great rejoicing, and elaborate

religious ceremony in the

Hopi home.

This, briefly, is the land

of poco-tiempo (pretty soon)

with its easy-going, kindly,

intensely religious, primitive

people. Hospitable, honest,

home-loving people they are,

with a wealth of mythology

rivaling that of Greece. They

are a conservative, peace-lov-

ing people who, if left to

themselves, will continue to

work out their own problems

A freak of erosion in the Painted Desert,

Southern Utah. These mighty wind-carved of government in their own

pillars of colored sandstone left their sym-

The Put-it-offs

"My friend, have you heard of the town of Yawn,

On the banks of the river Slow,

Where blooms the Wait-a-while flower fair,

Where the Sometime-or-other scents the air,

And the soft Goeasys grow?

It lies in the valley ofWhat's-the-use,

In the province of Let-it-slide.

That tired feeling is native there,

It's the home of the listless, "I don't

care,"

Where the Putitoffs abide."
