In .New Mexico, Is heaped the ruin of a prehistoric apartment house, the communal dwelling of an un nameu Indian tribe, probably the direct ancestors of the Hbpl Indiana of the present day. Kxcavatlon of this ruin for yeara has formed the moat exten alve scientific undertaking of Its kind In the country. As yet It ha? only been partially explored and scientists hope that further examination will re veal the history of Jthe West as It, was more than ten centuries ago. Name Is a Mlsnemen .Its name, Aztec, given by early ex plorers who thought the ruin a relic of the -Aztecs of Mexico, Is a ifls nomer. The people which It designates are a vanished race, and though their name is unknown, anthropologists are confident that they represented the flower of prehistoric Indian culture According to Dr. R. Linton, assistant Curator of the anthropological depart ment of the Field museum, these In dians, living In the United States 1,000 yeara ago, were even then heirs to a^ culture 8,000 years old. Doctor Linton, who has worked in Axtec ruin, glvea the following descrlp t on : "The pueblo is rectangular, with a court and kivas (underground cere monial rooms) In the Inper quadrangle. The outside walls made from quar ried stone, were perhaps four stories high and fAm three to six feet thick. Carefully cut timber formed the ceil ings, some of which 'lire still In ex cellent condition. Although openings In the upper stories were plentiful, the ground floor rooms had none he cause of the fpar of an enemy. Yucca leaf ladders furnished access to the higher stories, and when these were withdrawn the tribal home became Impregnable to outside -attack. Grouped for 8afety. "It was probably this fear of a com mon enemy that drew the prehistoric pueblo dwellers together and farced them to live In a community, rather than as separate families. Api>arenM> their homes were built and occupied In common and their Irrigation system and agricultural activities common en terprises. '?TheTF government evidently was semi-republican. We have nothing to show that^any North American Indlanf ever ? developed a moparchlstlc form of government. In this they differ greatly from, the Kgyptluns and other ancient peoples. The tombs which have given us bo muc4i of our knowl edge of ancient Egypt are the sepul chere of klnga built by slaves; while the pueblos were constructed by a peo ple drawn-together through sf comfhon need for protection/' . _r Differ From Egypt'a Relies. Doctor Ltntftn pointed out the dif ference In the quality of the treasures which Investigators are finding In the ruins of the American sborigines and In the tombs of old Crypt's Pharaohs. Those found at Luxor Include many precious stones and metals. Seashell necklaces, calcltj and quartz fashioned Into beads, turquoise beads and little frog effigies, curved gypsum and lime stcpe, beayer tooth pendants snd gil sonlte earrings form the* only spoils discovered in the debris-filled Indian ruins. Discovery In Egypt of preserved foodstuffs which even after centuries are still edible is paralleled by ths prehistoric corn fodder, taken from the Indian ruins, from which a 1922 mule made a satisfactory meal. The great heap of corn husks was' quite soft and much of the fodder as green as If it had been placed thers only a few days before. The dry air of New Mexico has served the some purpose as the elaborate embalming agents emploj'ed by the Ingenious Egyptians. Had No Metal. Again, unlike the people of Egypt, the Indian had no metal. A small cop-' per bell, supposed to have been traded in from the Mexico tribe, la the sols piece of metal found In the 'Indian habitations. All of their tools were of wood, bone or stone. No skeletons of beasts of bnrden have been found. Con sidering the fact that the stone quaf rlea were fire miles distant and the forests even further away the artistic culture of these prehistoric redmen Is surprising. In artistry and handi crafts they excelled the cliff dwellers, who are usually thought to have lived -In a much later period. "Comparison with the Egyptians," said Doctor Linton, "recalls the Maya Indians of southern Mexico and Cen tral America, who, so far as degree -6f-tt?Hfaatlow aad wlturt ?>?? wa earned, were much nearer the ' Egyp tians than any other tribe of American aborigines. ?how Csnturfee sf Culture.

Their polit ical organization, too, was centuries In advance of other Indian civic de velopment. 'The Mayas lived in cities Instead of being contented with a nomadic existence. "Years before the time of the Span ish Invasion this civilization began to disintegrate, and when the con quistadors arrived on the new con tinent they found only the remnants of a once magnificently cultured race."

From Laundress to Life of Grande Dame One of the most sensational of the romances that oil has been writing In the mid-continent oil pool Is that of Mra. Laura Endlcott, sixty-five y4ara old, of Ttonkawa, Okla., who at the, close of a life of . hard work and pov erty has suddenly become phenomenal ly rich through an oil strike on her farm, whlcb up to three years ago she had leased because the land was too poor to afford a living. For years she had suppled herself by taking In washing, but a year and a half ago an oil company brought in the Discovery well on Mra. Bndlcott's farm and now she has an income of over $5,000 a day, drives her own car, has diamonds galore and leads the life of a grande dame. Soviet Russia Is Ruled by Very Small Faction Moscow. ?
