That a study of American Indian
iiterature can lay a foundation for a
science of mythology which will
throw light on many beginnings of
Aryan and Semitic thought now lost
to u is the opinion of J. N. B. Hew
itt in a report of the Bureau of Amer
ican Ethnology, of the Smithsonian
Institution.
"Indian tales reveal to us a whole
system of religion, philosophy, and
social polity showing the mental and
social life of the race to which they
belong." says Mr. Hewitt in an In
troduction to a collection of myths
and legends accompanying the thirty-second
annual report of the Eth
nological Bureau.
Form ew Creation Myth.
These stories and myths were col
lected by Jeremiah Curtin, and much
of the material was collected from
noted chiefs of the Seneca tribes.
Translations of many tales and leg
ends are given, together with their
interpretations. Mr. Hewitt is thor
oughly familiar with the Seneca
tongue and declares that when taken
together with tales of various
other tribes, they will form a creation
myth of the New World.
"They give an account of how the
present order of things arose In the
world and take up the exploits, ad
ventures, and struggles of various
elements, animals, birds, reptiles, in
sects, plants, rocks, and other objects
before they became what they now
are."
That the building up of the crea
tion myth of the New "World, with its
various elements, is a work of the
greatest value i Mr. Hewitt's theory.
By It. he believes, we can bring
order into mythology and reconstruct
in outlino an early system of belief
which was common to all races, a
system which, though expressed in
many languages, hasr one meaning,
and was in the truest sense of the
word a religion truly universal.
It was believed in by all. peoples,
wherever they lived, and believed In
with a vividness of faith anad a sin
cerity of attachment which no mod
ern man can imagine, unles she has
had long experience with primitive
races.
The Bureau of American Ethnology,
by its extensive work. Is preserving
much of value concerning the Indians
of North America, the languages,
customs, and habitations. A short
history of the Seneca tribes, with
studies of other unrelated tribes, is
included in the thirty-second report,
giving an interesting story of the
once powerful races of this continent
as interesting to the layman as it Is
valuable to scientists.

Jewish persecutions in Poland rival
cruelties inflicted upon Armenians by
Turks, in the opinion of Samuel
"Warsaw, 3207 Georgia avenue, who
has returned to Washington after
a ten-weeks' tour of Poland. France,
Germany and other parts of Europe.
Speaking Polish fluently, and
garbed In American dress, Mr. War
saw says he readily gained access to
man of the persecuted sections of
Poland. He declares- he witnessed
brutalities almost beyond Imagina
tion. "In one instance I saw six Jewish
girls murdered before the eyes of
their father, who was subsequently
tortured to death," Mr. Warsaw de
clared. "At another time, while riding on
a street car in Warsaw, I saw Polish
gendarmes fire on a Jewish proces
sion, killing five. Hidcousr tortures
are a dally occurrence, and a Jew's
life in Poland today is worth noth
ing. Itcllcf Food Confiscated.
"Thousands are dying each month
of starvation, and food sent from this
country by Jewish organizations is
confiscated by Poles and resold to
Jews at exorbitant prices.
"Bread lines are a common thing in
Poland; but the Jew Is barred from
these, although much of the food dis
tributed In this manner is sent by
Jewish societies in the United States.
(Further, the laws governing Jews are
becoming more stringent insteau 01
lenient. Graft prevails in every
branch of the government, and the
"Musician." as the Poles call Pad
erewski, is not at all popular with
the people.
"The long robe worn by the Jew
of Poland, together with his long
beard and skull cap. make him a
mark for continuous persecution. He
Is allowed no means of defense, and
should he go upon the street with so
much as a serviceable cane, it Is
taken from him and broken up by
a gendarme."
Craft on Every Hand.
As an Instance of the graft which
he declares predominates In all
branches of the government. Mr. War
saw says he was compelled to pay a
handsome sum for a passport for his
small ron, who had been in the coun
try during the war. Later he learned
that a passport for the boy was un
necessary. Efforts to obtain medicine for the
boy proved to no avail when a drug
gist learned he was a Jew. Mr. War
saw declares. Likewise, doctors and
dentists refused to treat the lad.
"Jews who inhabited provinces oc
cupied by Germans during the war
say they received much better treat
ment at the hands of the Huns than
they receive now." continued Mr.
Warsaw. "Their plight then was
nothing to the horrors and brutalities
they suffer now.
Government Tottera.
"A number of Bolshevik societies
are being formed In Poland, and It is
but a question of time until there will
be an overturn of the present govern
ment. Leaders of such societies
openly boast of what they plan to do.
"Railroads are almost completely
disorganized, and transportation is
almost at a standstill. Currency of
one section is valueless In another
part of the country, and what national
currency there is is inflated to a
high point, with a low purchasing
power."

to meet the dividends on the pre
ferred stock of a million dollars un
der present revenue from passenger
fares and from all other sources." is
the statement made in the company's
petition.
The company proposes to raise the
fares on all Its roads, including the
one way, round trip, and commutation
ticket books between Washington and

conditions to hold for me time to
come.

Carpetings contain three kinds of dirt: (1) Buried
grit (2) Clinging litter (3) Surface dirt.
Three cleaning processes are therefore necessary:
(1) Beating (2) Thorough sweeping (3) Suction
cleaning.
Only The Hoover Electric Suction Sweeper beats . . .
as it sweeps as it suction cleans.
That is why The Hoover is in greatest demand, why
its makers are the world's largest, why a Hoover is
worth waiting for even though plenty of other types
are always to be had-
Only The Hoover performs
these three essential cleaning
functions. It also is GUAR
ANTEED to prolong the life
of any rug or carpet.
That is why The Hoover is
the most popular electric
cleaner and why you hear ft
praised so highly by its users.
Hoovers are priced today the
same as before the war.
