New Speed Records Lieutenant Maughan of the United States States army, with his 400-horsepower Curtiss plane, is king of the air. Driving his plane through the air at a speed of 248.5 miles an hour, he moved faster than any human being has ever traversed space. No mode of locomotion has ever approached this record. ; But how long will he hold the palm? Continental flyers assert that within six months the record of the new American speed demon will be broken by some daring pilot of the sky.

More About Cliff-Dwellers New Explorations Add to Knowledge About Early Dwellers of Southwestern Regions.

By FREDERICK J. HA8KIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 20. The discovery of tobacco pipes In the ruins of the Colorado cliff-dwellings this summer by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology, adds another bit to the accumulation of data on which arclieologisc; are building up the history of the prehistoric people that inhabited the area now set aside as the Mesa Verde National park. It had not been known before that the cliff-dwellers knew the solace of that weed which Columbus discovered the West Indian savagec smoking three hundred years after tho cliff-dwellers attained the Bummit of their civilization. Each summer the government explorers excavate in the ruins on Mesa Verde only during the summer adds more to the knowledge of these remarkable people. It is possible now to give their civilization an approximate date. We know fairly well now how and why they rose to stand so much higher in intelligence and In tribal achievement than the savage tribes that eurounded them We have a good idea of their communal life. What brought them to disaster, where they went, and whether they have left descendants, are still matters of conjee ture, but investigation is going on in a direction that may some day give a complete picture of the cliff-dwellers. Enough is known now, however, to make it certain that theirs was much the highest culture developed in prehistoric times on this continent nortti of the Rio Grande. South of what is now the Mexican border there were Indian civilizations even higher those of the Aztec3 in Mexico, the Mayas ir Central America and the Incas in South America. But the culture of the cliff-dwellers was a development independent of these others. The cliffdwellers were probably a timid, unadventurous people; and, according to Dr. Fewkes, they knew little of the world outside a radius of hundred miles or so from their own narrow province. There was probably no communication between them and the Aztecs to the south. The opening of automobile roads in the Mesa Verde park and the increase nave mvae tne maenifiopnt ruins n the cliff-dwellings familiar to thousands of Americans. We are called a young nation, yet in these ancient structures we have antiquities which in age rival those of northern Europe. Thousands of Americans looking at the ruins cf the cliff palace, the sua temple, the spruce tree house, and other remains must have wondered what sort of people they were who could build structures of such durability and imposing size while all about them stretched a continent peopled with men of their own racial blood, but who nevertheless had never been able to rise much above the plane of naked savagery. Indian Corn Civilizing Influence. The spade of the archoologist is gradually revealing the cliff people to us. Year after year the excavating goes on, more structures are uncovered, and the museums at Washington and elsewhere are further enriched by Implements, utensila, ornaments, and other artifacts taken from the sites of these buildings. Along wit these discoveries come new deductions about the cliff-dwellers themselves. According to Dr. Fewkes, the maizo plant Indian corn explains the superior civilization of the cliff-dwellers. A Emall-statured, nnwarlike people, in the first place they found in this unpromising region of windswept canyon and tableland a refuge from the stronger and more warlike tribes who preempted the regions of plenty. The game in the Mesa Verde district was scarce. The streams were little more than the channels for periodical freshets. A few fish conld be caught, but not enough to support a population as large as one which dwelt there. There was no natural food supply at all such as other Indian tribes enjoyed, and so the cliff people were forced to create ii "ood supply by their own Ingenuity. They grew corn oa the mesas. And this was no easy thing. There nFTYYEARS AGO a woman la Lynn, Mass., was steeping herbs In her kitchen 6tove according io a recipe of her own, to furnish medicine tor the women of the neighborhood.

Will Russia Work? The Russian soviet has an army of a million men on the west front and thousands of soldiers stationed in the interior to maintain order and check uprisings. All these men are from, the ranks of workers, whereby the production of Russia is reduced in proportion to their number. One wonders if Russia's economic plight would not cease if she put this vast number of men at work in gainful pursuits and if she taught the industrial laborers the necessity of working enough hours to sustain themselves. So long a3 idleness is at a premium and mil

lions are kept in

tary purposes, the productive ability of the country will suffer. There is no military need for a

vast army, as

European country is anxious for a war now. It seems inconsistent to feed millions of men in the military establishment when they might

be working in the factories or in the agricultural districts to produce commodities and food, thereby becoming real producers. . If the soviet has money to maintain a large army, it ought not to expect other countries to feed the hungry in the

was not enough rainfall at the proper seasons to insure good crops. So they turned to irrigation and built their reservoirs and ditches. By this means they were able to grow corn not in abundance but still in sufficient quantities to eke out their thin supply of fish and meat. It was not enough to grow the corn; they had to store it for the winter. If they could not store It safely, they could not survive. Originally these people had lived in half-sunken pit dwellings on the top of the mesa.. Along the sides of canyons which cut into the mesa were high, shallow caverns, caused by the erosion of soft strata of rock between harder sorts. To these caverns, probably, they first took their corn for storage. This would not be good storage, for rains and snows would beat into the caverns and dampen the corn. The next step in their progress was to build dry graneries for the storage of their crops. Anthropologists have long observed that the only primitive peoples who have ever amounted to anything have been those who built of stone. The cliff-dwellers were the only prehistoric tribe north of the Rio Grande River that used stone as a building material. Beginnings of Communal Life. Thus these people gradually became skillful artisans in the use of stone. Eventually they left their earth lodges on the top of the mesas and went to live in the safer and more comfortable caves. Here they built themselves houses, and naturally built them of stone. A communal life began. At first, perhaps, only a single family occupied a cavern with a small house built on the cave floor. Family descent was through mothers. Presently a branch would break off the original family and become a clan. This clan built its stone housing to adjoin the original house. Thus the various cliff dwellings grew In size. Each clan provided itself ceremonial rooms and living quarters, and the house grew until it became a village in itself. The cliff palace, the first of these ruins to be discovered, is 300 feet long, nearlv XVV leet Wirt A find it ronto norl Ofirt four stories hieh. This sort of building developed for the cliff-dwellers a distinct type of architecture. The typical building was constructed in the form of a letter D. Tina corresponded to the shape of a cliff cavern the straight edge of the precipice in front and the curving wall of the cave behind. The cliff-dwellers became sun worshippers, and when they build their sun temple on the mesa top, each of the two sections of the temple followed this form. These people also became skillful and artistic potters. This in itself was a tremendous advance over tha most of the prehistoric people in America. The pottery of the cliffdwellers not only served its use but in form and decoration it was beautiful, judged even by our standards of beauty today. Thus necessity operated then as It has in historic times to advance civilization. The cliff-dwellers reached the top of their greatness about the twelfth century the time of the Crusades in Europe, when Robin Hood and his merry men held Sherwood Forest In England and the barons were forcing the Magna Charta from the tyrannical King John. At the same time the Indian tribes that ranged more favored sections of what Is now the United States suffered their occasional famines and advanced little in culture What happened to the cliff-dwellers' Nothing is known definitely, bnt there is reason to believe that the old story of Rome and barbarians was repeated there on the Mesa Verde. The conjecture is that the lite Indians drove He Is Looking 'Em Over Again "Eight years ot stomach and liver trouble reduced me to a walking skeleton.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason WRONG METHODS "Ton must pay me higher wages," says the toiler, Richard Roei, "or a dozen battle-gapes in your whiskers I will throw. You employers in high places try to bilk the men who sweat; you may grind some fellows' faces but you can't grind mine, you bet." Says the haughty, stern employer, "If you'd quit, why go ahead; you are but the fool destroyer of the job that brings you bread. You may quit and go to thunder, quit forever and a day; I will not be trodden under by you lads who work for pay." Thus they always rag each other, when some differences arise; they cant meet as man and brother, light of kindness In their eyes- We should meet as friendly neighbors when a grievance is in sight, and the artisan who labors might be friendly and polite; and the man who pays the wages might show patience In his gaze; that would beat the foolish rages that too often he displays. Energy is badly wasted when we kick each other's slats; let the golden rule be Dasted on the linins of our hats. GORDONI'S DIVORCE FROM NORA BAYES APPROVED NTJW YORK. Oct. 20.

Q. What does it cost on an average to haul freight by truck? K. D. G. A, Cost of transporting freight by truck Is affected by so many varying conditions that an average rate is difficult to arrive at. However, the cost peT ton mile in this country is estimated at 25 cents, while abroad the cost has been estimated at 12 cents, under favorable conditions. Q. Did Edison invent the graphophone? L. G. J. A. The graphophone, which is sim ilar in principle to the Edison phonograph, wa3 invented conjointly by "C. A. Eell and Charles S. Taintor. Q. What was the "Great Awakening?" 1. R. W. A. The Great Awakening was the popular name for a remarkable revival that swept over New England during the period 1740-45 under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield. Almost 150 towns were stirred to a veritable religious frenzy and in the end it was considered to have done more harm than good, having resulted in dissensions and divisions in congregations. Q. How long have there been trade unions in England? I. R. H. A. Trade unions were legalized In England in 1824, but such organizations or combinations of wage earners for the purpose of maintaining or improving the condition of their employment have existed continuously from the latter part of the 17th century. The earliest actual record of such a combination is that of the woolen workers of the southwest of England, which is mentioned as existing in 1700 and frequently referred to in Devonshire, Somerset, Wilshire and Gloucestershire throughout tne 18th century. The Iondon tailors can be shown to have been in continuous combination from at least 1720, when an Act of Parliament was passed to restrain them.

COL. JOS1AH C. WEDGWOOD "England and America!" Is the slogan of the British Labor party, according to CoL Josiah a Wedgwood, member of parliament and vice-chairman of the parliament Labor party. Colonel Wedgwood, labor leader and war hero. Is now In this country. He predicts that the Labor party will ultimately become the ruling power in England. Col on el Wedgwood has a long parliamentary reccord. For the lasi 17 years he has JOSUH C WEOffWOOO held a seat in the house of commons. Born In Staffordshire in 1872 of a long line of potters he began life as a naval architect. During the course of his work he visited the most important gigantic industrial workshops in the country. Gradually his sympathies were directed toward the working man. Colonel Wedgwood, typical of the new Labor party, is in dress, manners and amenities no different than any other British parliament member. He wears his recorations which Keir Hardie would scorn to do, but he wants to show that one of the creeds of the new Labor party is loyalty to one's country and readiness to serve it. 'Once the Labor party gets Into power the entire foreign policy of England will undergo a decided change, asserts the colonel. "There will be a complete reversal of the peace treaty. This will be accomplished by revising the Versailles treaty. We should hope to make of the league of nations a real league of nations with America In it. You can't call it a real league of nations without America, for America Is the only one that counts.
