TREES TELL STORY OF PUEBLO CULTURE Developed in 150 Year*, Ac cording to Scientists. Washington.—The great Pueblo cul ture of the Southwest—the highest de velopment of aboriginal' civilization north of Mexico at the time of the dis covery of the New world—rose to the apex of Its greatness in not more than 150 years. \ . Such Is the story told by tree-ring chronology, according to Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., of ' the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution, in a report on the present status of southwestern archeology pre pared for the American Anthropologi cal association. In the past it has generally posed that this remarkable and highly characteristic Indian culture was the product of a slow growth which must have extended over many centuries. The positive dating made possible by the tree rings of timbers used In the construction of the pueblos shows, quite to the contrary, that the Pueblo I period, during which this civilization attained its characteristic form, ex tended only from about 800 to 900 A. D. The Pueblo IT period,’when the prog ress continued at a somewhat accel erated rate, lasted only from about 875 to 950 A.

Third Period bang. Then came the Pueblo III period when, apparently, the people settled down to enjoy what they had achieved and this lasted, with various periods of depression and prosperity, almost up to the time of the arrival of the Span ish explorers. During the long Pueblo III era there was considerable refine ment in the patterns painted on pot tery, and other artifacts were per fected, but there was not much original development.” ATthoagtr' - 'turner—strut*- Washington discusses a “West Point Tor war ou crtmp,*^~g" Kemi-Tii Hilary school under the attorney general to train fighters to meet the national crime army, that collects almost as much money as the national govern ment Itself takes in.

Both of the southern civilizations were re ligious-aristocracies. The great build ings were temples or religious monu ments in Yucatan. In Mexico there were elaborate dwellings for the nobil ity. But In both cases the common man lived in a thatched hut, and prob ably lived miserably. For “Common Man.* 1 But the Pueblo culture developed for the benefit of the “common man.” The great aboriginal apartment houses were erected as homes, .not palaces or tem ples.

The whole trend of this culture was apparently to better the lot of the ordinary family. Conse quently, Its rapid rise, Doctor Roberts points out, is the more remarkable since it was not the result of some great emotional wave. I. The Baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3:13-17). 1. His request of John (v. (3.). This was in acfc, lf not in word. He came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized of John. 2. John’s hesitancy (v. 14). He perceived something in Jesus which impressed him with the impropriety of such an act even moving him to hin der the execution of his demand. 3. Jesus’ explanation (v. 15). He Insisted-upon John's compliance on the ground that it was a method of ful filling all righteousness. 4. The heavenly acknowledgment (vv. 1G. 17). As Jesus emerged from the waters of the Jordan the heavens- were opened, the Holy Spirit descend ed, and a voice from heaven declared, “This is my beloved Son, in whoqj I am well pleased." It. Jesus Enjoins tBaptism (Matt. 28:10,. 20). . In Christ's commission to the apos- tles he imposes the following obllga- true that disturbance In either realm affects the other. Unnecessary clat ter, for example, Is annoying and dis tracting alike. It Jars the nerves and turns the attention from what one Is doing, or diverts a train of thought which may be arriving at an important decision or discovery. _ It is not the ordinary hum of sounds which prevail in certain lo calities which Is bothersome, b^t sud den racket or a perslst^R introduc tion of an unaccustomed noisf which permeates and Increases it. Such hubbub may be Impossible to avoid, as It is present in city streets and cannot be entirely eliminated in dwellings In crowded areas. Soci eties are formed In metropolitan cities for the suppression of unneces sary noise, and they are helpful In reducing the uproar. In the quiet of the country such societies seem amusing to the Inhab itants. Bur fp pcncefnl is the atmos phere in small villages not on the Very had news for this country.

Great Britain Is excited about the Germans buijding submarines, especial ly annoyed to learn that the submn- ‘rlnes are of a “super" type, carrying guns as well- as torpedo tubes, able . to hunt British or other ships any where on earth, some alleged to carry a small airplane, easily launched.

Refuse From Sugar Cane ^ to Produce Cellulose Washington. — Cellulose wrappers now can he made from bagasse, refuse from sugar cane mills, according to D. K. J.

It comes from the mill as a by-product which In the past has been used mainly as fuel." 11-Year-Old Boy Learns to Talk All Over Again Port Clinton, Ohio.—Jack Fleckner, eleven-year old youth of Oak Harbor, near here,- baa been obliged to learn to talk all over again.

' To teach, to make disciples of all the nations (v. 19). They were to make-known to the world that Christ had died to save sinners and that God had committed to Jesus the re demption of the world. ( 2. To baptize those who believe 1 (v. 19). Tills is the divinely appoint ed way of making a public confession of faith, in Christ. This baptism is to be in the- name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Indicating that the believer has been brought into definite relationship to each member Qt the holy Trinity. • 3. To teach the disciples obedience, (v. 20). Profession is not enough. It must issue in obedience. This com mission Is preceded by the'assurance of the divine authority of Jesus (v. lSL AU authority was given him in heaven and eartb and was followed by an all- sufficient promise (v. 20). _ III. Baptism Practiced in the Early Church. L At Pentecost (Acts 2:38, 41). This was the first baptismal service in the Christian church. Multitudes were brought under conviction of sin as a result of / the apostolic preaching and thousands were baptized. Baptism was administered in the name of Christ, which doubtless refers to thr author- ity of Christ. 2. The Samaritans under the preach ing ot Phyip" (Acts 8:5-12). As a re sult of his preaching men and women believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; Their profession of faith was followed by baptism. 3. The eunuch (Acts 8:26-39) In the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch the Lord’s work is seen broad ening in its scope. The gospel was first preached to the Jews, then to the smifrfran# who nattona+ly ' the borderland between the Jews and the Gentiles. This Ethiopian was in all probability a Gentile, a proselyte to the Jewish faith. The Spirit of God called Philip away from the great work in Samaria and directed him to go near and join himself to the chariot of the Ethiopian treasurer. This prov idential meeting gave Philip the oppor tunity to pregeb to the Ethiopian. Philip preached to him Christ as the Savior, who through suffering and death saved from the guilt of sin. This resulted in the eunuoh’s request for baptism. 4. The baptism of Paul (Acts-9:18, 19), The great apostle to the Gen tiles, before entering upon bis work, received baptism at the hand* of An anias. who was not even himself a church official. 5. Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:47,48). When God would •end the gospel upon its world wide conquest, he providentially brought Peter and Cornelius together. Peter preached to Cornelius the sacrificial death of Christ for sih and his Trium phant resurrection. Seeing the visita tion of the divine Spirit upon the Gentiles, Peter proposed baptism. IV.

Movement to Preserve Totem Poles of Indians One resplt of the opening up of the further retfehes of Canada Is that the old-primitive life of the Indians la fast disappearing, and with iL^their customs, traditions, and folklore. An effort is now being made to preserve the family trees, commonly known as totem poles, of the various tribes. These ancient heirlooms carry the tribal histories of more than 100,000 Indians. It was the custom among the red Indians for each tribe to choose an animal to represent them, and thus , Rash x Disfigured Face Dismppmm$*4 Aftmr Using Cotfeiff» \ was Dorn The Science of totemlsm.

The akin was red, and the rash burned and itched so that I scratched night and day.
