SHRINE OF LOST RACE FOUND IN SOUTHWEST The Kire temple of the "Lost Hace . of the Colorado," where prehistoric Americans invoked their Kods with mystic rites has been discovered, scientists believe. The temple is a building in the Mesa Verde National park, erected by cliff dwellers, the earliest race on the continent and one that vanished before the Indians appeared. I>r. J. Walter Kewkes. chief of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institute, has just returned to Washington from the Southwest, where lie niadn extensive studies of the ancient structure. The cliff house shows no signs of habitation, Imt seems to have been where the ritual of the lire cult was enacted. The building, which formerly was known as a painted house, had been buried in a well known place, somewhat resembling Parts debris, but it now lias been com pletelv excavated. The architectlire I is simple. There :ire two massive walled buildings. <if mod iiiasoiirv. RCpi'iraloi) by a court f?n Poet long and 2R feet wide. Karli of these buildings Is two stories high. The rear of the court is formed by the upright wjill of the cliff anil a bank of masonry with walls plastered white above and red below. < >11 this plaster are numerous triangular ligures. Around the court are stone banks, which it is presumed served as seats for spectators. In the middle of the court is a la rue circular pit. tilled with ashes, a thing without iluplicat ion in other cliff houses that have been found. The absence of any domestic utensils, the presence of large amounts of charred wood and ashes, and other evidences of lire, add to the belief the tire cult practiced its rites there. In a room at the west end of tincourt was found a painting. now much mutilated, representing a supernatural being which still has a part 111 the ritual of the present-day llopis in their worship of tire or "l.ife." It is believed a tire dance was performed about the pit iu the court The lire is supposed to have been 'made in the painted room with lire I drills, :iitil then transferred in th? |>lt.

A sun temple insists in another part of the Mesa Verde, and additional dis coveries are predicted. An interesting ceremony among thr llopls of northwestern Arizona is the survival of an ancient rite connected with lire worship, occurring every November.

Salvation Xnnv Seeks Men Who Stayed in tlic Cities. What lias liecome of Hie American youilis wlio left homes and farms in cities and in the country districts when the call to arms came, and who. though not reported killed or missing, have failed to return to their homes" This is the igticstion that the Salva tion Army is heing called upon to solve almost daily in every section of this country. If statistics issued by governnien' departments at Washington are to be believed, less than a per cent of tli" boys who left farms in America to enter the war have returned again to the soil i if course the majoritv of these youths have returned safelv to this country, hut the lure of the hig cities has proved loo attractive to them. Thousands of farmers, troubled over the present situation with farm help almost impossible to obtain. have turned to the Salvation Army for help. The Salvation Army, in so far as il can do so.
