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.

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

race hail advalieeil to a condition
higher than other prehistoric
hotisehnililers of the Southwest. 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. I'lre ceremonies also stir
vivo among the Nava.ios and Pueblo*
hut t lie existence of a lire cult among
the cliff dwellers has not lieen detuonst

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. Is'urging the return of
men to the farms. This is being done
through the various soldier clubs and
hotels whirli are slill heinc maintained

associations with many men who
have hern discharged from the service
hot have not yet retnrneil to their
homes.
With the formation of county advisory
hoards throinrhont each eonniv
in the States, the Salvation \rniy is
lea vine no steps nntnrneil to locate
these men and to do till in its power
to induce them to return to their

South Carolina is faced with the j
most acute fuel shortage in its his- <
tory, in the opinion of B. B. Gossett . ;
of Anderson, former fuel adniinistra- ' |
tor of this State. |<
Mr. Gossett has written a letter to j <
Governor Cooper in which he reviews | j
conditions as regards the supply of N
coal and he urges that the South in
sist that it he furnished with its full
percentage of coal cars, lie suggests j ^
that tlovernor Cooper call a confer- :
once of committees from North Carolina.
South Carolina and Georgia to <
consider the matter of coal shortage ^
and to decide upon some practical ?
plan to meet the situation. 7

It is next to impossible to hny doto

Mr. Gossett. ami doubt is expressed l<
is to whether or not the dealers in
this State have as much as a two |
