Whence Came the'Clift Dwellers of Mesa Verde * and Where Did They Go? Dy CONGRESSMAN E. T. TAYLOR, Speech in the House. A T LEAST a thousand years ago—maybe 2,000 and possibly during the Tut-Ankh-Amen period—there lived in the Mesa V erde jpssjk region a large population of. human beings who flourished and disappeared. We call them the Cliff Dwellers because we know of no other name or race. Who these peculiar people? Where did they come from? When did they live there? How long did they live there? When did they leave there? Why did they leave? Where did they go? Echo answers, “Where?'* We know they lived in large communities. They must have had some kind of organized government. They were not a warlike people in the sense that most other Indian tribes were. They cultivated corn, beans, cotton and squash. They had domesticated turkeys, but apparently no dogs. Their cultivated lands were upon the mesa, high above most of their reservoirs, and there was no way of irrigating theit crops by ditches. They had no sheep or horses or burros or any beasts of burden, so the women and children apparently followed the custom of the present Pueblo Indians and carried jars of water on their heads up over the foot trails for domestic use and also for the irrigation of their scanty crops. We know these strange people were artisans. They wove cloth of cotton and of the yucca plant fibers. They appreciated the beautiful. They made fire by twirling two sticks. They made quite a variety of pottery. They made many wooden utensils. They had no metals or glass. They had no written language. They wove sandals and baskets. Their weapons, hammers, axes, spear points, arrowheads and tools were made of stone. Their implements were mostly made of bbne. They quarried and shaped the stones into regular form and laid good masonry that has defied the ravages of time ever since hundreds of years l>efore Columbus was born and before the Spaniards ever touched f<.»ot upon this continent. There are many thousands of their ruins and relics of various kinds throughout southwestern Colorado and in New Mexico and Arizona. But the largest and best preserved, the most notable and finest of the prehistoric cliff dwellings in the United States, if not in the world, are in the shelter of caves in the sides of the high-walled canyons of Mesa Verde National park. ‘‘Enough of the Italy of the Hotel-Keeper, the Resort of the Idle” By PREMIER MUSSOLINI, in “Political Speeches.” Enough of the Italy of the hotelkeeper, resort of the idle with their odious Baedekers in their hands; enough of dusting old piasterwork; we are, and wish to be, a nation of producers. We are a people who will expand without aiming at conquest. We shall gain the respect of the world through our industries and our work. And again: Every man must raise the standard*of his activity, both in the office and in the factory. ♦ ♦ ♦ The government, which I have the honor to represent, is the government of siieed. • • ♦ We belong to the generation of builders who, by work and discipline, with hands and brains, desire to reach the ultimate and longed for goal, the greatness of the future nation, which will be a nation of producers and not of parasites. The twenty million Italians wlio work with their hands have the right to defend their interests. What we oppose is the deceitful action of politicians to the detriment of the working classes; we fight these new priests who promise, in bad faith, a paradise they do not believe in themselves. • • • Once there were courtiers who burned incense before the kings and the popes; now there is a new breed, which burns incense hypocritically before the proletariat. • * * Me say that the proletariat, before it tries to govern the nation, must learn to govern itself, must make itself worthy technically and, still more, morally, because government is a tremendously difficult and complicated task. The nation is composed of millions upon millions of individuals, whose interests clash, and no superior beings exist who can reconcile all differences and create unity of life and progress. No Nation Has Adopted the Sermon on the Mount as a Rule of Life By A. MAUDE ROYDEN, English Woman Preacher. If religion is going out of style, it deserves to. For only those things go out of style which meet no real human need. But in fact—and just because it is an eternal need of the human spirit, religion never can go out of style. All that is happening is that the need for religion, which is simply the need of God, is changing its forms. The change, in this generation, has perhaps been accelerated by the war. There is an uneasy wonder whether a religion that has proclaimed for nearly 2,000 years apod who is the Prince of Peace ought to have been .able by now to put a stop to war, at least between nations who profess belief in it. 1 must admit that if I found nations and individuals pertistently living up to' the tenets of the Sermon on the Mount and finding tLit the house of their civilization, far from being founded on a rock and standing, was really founded on sand and fell down, 1 should hold myself excused from trying to be a Christian any more. The difficulty, however, has only to be stated to disappear. No nation and very few individuals have persistently adopted the Sermon on the Mount as a rule of life. you City People and Country People Have Largely the Same Problems By ARTHUR C. PAGE, Chicago Editor, by Radio. You people in the city, and you in the country, have largely the same problems, whether you realize it or not, and if either one of you should attempt to put yourself ahead by pushing the other one back, you might succeed for a little while, but not for long. Chicago is built on agriculture and a great deal of agriculture depends on Chicago. Thousands of farmers within the radius of my voice make their living by producing and selling food and other products to people in Chicago, and thousands of people in Chicago make their living from the things they help to produce that are sold to farmers. There ought to be the closest bond cf sympathy between this great city and the great agricultural territory which surrounds it, the greatest agricultural territory in the world. It is a most excellent sign of national health folk in Chicago and vou folk out on the farm begin to understand each other, to realize there should be no antagonism between you, but that you are in the same l^pat—that when one profits you both profit; when one loses, you both eventually lose. Frank 0. Lowden—What bas come to be known as “pork barrel” legislation is generally condemned. However, whenever it is proposed to expend public money upon any object whatsoever in any community, we find the people of that community as a whole back of the project. The people seem to act bu the theory that it is always laudable to get whatever money they can from the public treasury for their own community. ? • I Glenn Frank.—The religion of Jesus must function today in a changed world, and ft is the business of the church to show men what thf Mlttrinn nf .Tocna moana in terms nf life in modern America.

New Primrose At the famous Kew gardens In London a new primrose of great beauty has recently been exhibited. It Is the Primula rosea, a beautiful primrose from the Himalayas, which has been flowering profusely at the foot of the dripping well in the Rock garden. It has rich carmine-pink blossoms, which are very effective, particularly when viewed from a short distance. This new primrose ranks among the best ot all waterside plants, but It is said to be equally happy in other situations. It will grow it. almost any soil, but preferably in a rich loam that contains a slight mixture of peat.

Will blind confidence lead you to physical disaster at age 31?
This is the experience of the average American, United States Life Tables, 1920, indicate
For the average person, health—physical freedom ana full rigor—-ex-tends only from age 18 to 31. Then the slump. After 40, earnings foil off rapidly. What do theae startling facta (taken from the United States Life Table#, 1920) mean for you! It is time to eheck up. It is time to take stock of the present, and face the future with open eyes. Blind faith in the power of the human body to absorb punuhment has failed miserably. Unwise eating, stimulated nerves, sleeplessness; disregard of the simplest laws of health; the lashing of the overwrought body to new exertions by the use of drugs—physical decay beginning nt age 31! This is the tragic chronicle. ' j Nature provides a danger signal—fatigue—to warn when the body needs rest. Certain drugs have the power to deaden the fatigue signal One of the most common of these drugs is caffein —* drug classified an a poison. The average eup of coffee contains from 114 to 3 grain* of caffein—a dose equal to that often administered by physicians in cases of heart failure. Caffein, by deadening the danger signal of fatigue, appears to give new strength. Actually, this strength is robbed from the body’s own resei stored up for life's emergencies.
