THIS SAVAGE DEVIL DANCE is still performed each year by the Apache Indians. Long ago, this fierce
tribe gathered nuts and berries for food-—and hunted small game with boomerangs. But when
European horses were introduced to the Southwest, the Apache way of life changed overnight—and
they became the most dangerous and bloodthirsty of all Indians! The Apaches have many strange
customs; a warrior, for example, is forbidden to speak to his mother-in-law ... or even to look
at her face!
GIANT PADDLE WHEEL STEAMERS used to take 20 days for a Mississippi voyage—which a modern jet plane makes in
two hours But these shallow draft ships were perfectly suited to the perils of the River. Even huge floating logs were
turned to splinters by their churning oaken paddles! The most famous of all Mississippi pilots was Samuel Clemens—
whose pen name "Mark Twain" means "two fathoms (12 ft.) deep water" in the fascinating language of the river boat men.

to acquaint you with a new program of things-to-know and
things-to-see in our wonderful country. Once you have enjoyed
your unique picture-tour of our National Parks, you can con-

You can learn fascinating historical facts about America's past
. ... visit out-of-the-way places . . . develop fresh understanding
of the customs and traditions of our people.
Here is how this new educational program works: Once each
month the Society issues a colorful, informative album contain-
ing a 7500 word picture-text on some aspect of America, espe-
cially written by an expert in the field. With each Album you
also receive a magnificent set of about 30 full-color photo-prints,

the text. These colorful photo-prints can be mounted right into
the Album — thus enabling you to gain a full knowledge of the
subject covered — and at the same time have a lot of fun!
You build a priceless collection of facts and folklore about
the people and places that make our country so unique ... a
collection that will help you at school and be a stimulating

obligation — and you may stop at any time.
