Santa Fee, N. M.-Probably no more
important or interesting archaeological
investigation has ever been conducted
what is known as the Pajarito Park
district of New Mexico. about twenty
five miles west of Santa Fe, and not
more than five or six miles from
buchanan Station, on the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad. The work Is in
charge of Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, d.
rector of American archaeology in the
Archaeological Institute of America,
who is assisted by number of en-.
thusiastic students Of archaeology
Three or four months will be spent
In making explorations in this little
known region. The time In entirely
too short for an exhaustive examine
ton. which must be the work OF years
but 1t is encouraging to see some in
dication that the common. belief that
the Archaeological Institute of Ameri-
ca is interested in antiquities only pro-
vided that they are not American is
not entirely justified.
Pajarito Park is included in the
great Jemez National Forest - al
though equally interesting antiquities
belonging to the same group are also
found in the Santa Clara Indian Res
ervation and in the private land grant
now controlled by the Ramon Land
and Lumber company. To Prof. Hew
EFT belongs the credit for having the
ruins included. as far as possible. in
the forest reserve, In order that they
might be preserved from the thought
less acts of vandalism that threatened
the utter destruction of everything OF
an antiquarian value. The district is
bounded on the north by the Rio Cha
ma, on the east by the Rio Grande.
on the south by the Rio de los Frijoles
and on the west by the Jemez noun
tains. Much of it Is heavily timbered.
while its scenic features are of great
beauty and grandeur. The whole sur
face at one time was deeply covered
with volcanic tufa Through this and
through the harder rock strata below,
the intermittent streams that flow
down from the mountains have worn
deep canOns and gulches. The district
thus presents an aggregate of many
hundreds of miles of perpendicular
cliffs. gray, yellow. orange and salmon
colored. The mesas are nearly all
very narrow, some being mere tongues
of rock separating comparatively wide
valleys.

think every child. boy or girl. should
learn the art of swimming.
In connection with the effort of the
commissioners to secure these public
baths 1t is also likely they will en-.
deavor to establish one or two public
laundries In the District. This idea
is something new and novel In this
part of the country, although such
places are common throughout Eu
rope.
1t is the belief that public laundry
should be connected with every public
bathhouse erected in the District and
to have each laundry supplied with not
less than 80 stationary wash tubs
where the women of the poorer class
es can take their clothing to be wash
ed, requiring only trifiing sum for
soap and other incidentals. Connected
with each laundry 1t is the idea to
have "drying-room," where the WON.
en- can take clothes after the washing
to be dried. either by hot air or steam.

Lieut.. Sheridan was one of the
most popular aids at the white house
during the last two seasons. and it
was understood among his many
friends that he would be enabled to
retain the choice social position
throughout the coming season. Re-
Gently. however, 1t developed that

No less remarkable are the stone
tents of Otowi. in the canon of the
same name. These were originally
huge, solid. conical stone formations,
detached from the cliffs, although
standing near them. In all, there are
about fifty of them. In spiral arrange
ment, around the exterior are deeply
cut hand-and-footholds, making 1t
comparatively easy to ascend to the
top, although some are fully forty
feet high. In some of them, rooms
have been laboriously excavated. Elk
animation reveals the fact that some
of the stone tents used to be much
higher than they now are, and that
the elements have worn them down.
until the higher rooms have been
wholly or partially destroyed. Just
what was the purpose of these curl,
GUS places is purely a matter OF con-
lecture. Some suppose that they were
devoted to religious uses. or were the
dwelling places of the priests. Others
think they formed the abodes of the
chiefs and rulers. 1t is said that SINH,

A MOTHER matter which is to be
"a urged upon the attention of con-
gress is the liquor question. Every
year now for several years the Little
neld-Dolliver bill for the regulation of
the traffic has made its appearance,
but the National Association of Brew
ers. the National Liquor Dealers asso-
citation and various other organiza-
tons have always been on the look
out for 1t. and have always succeeded
in blocking its passage.
This year 1t begins to look as though
the liquor traffic which has been get

states lately is to get national shak-
ing up as well.

to get legislation through. The league
believes the time is ripe for the long
delayed federal legi-lation. With the
light against the liquor power raging
successfully in more than half the
states in the union. the league officers
feel encouraged to believe that con-
Eress will no longer refuse to enact
the desired legislation.

CONGRESS MAY SHAKE
UP THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

1t has, they say, been multiplying the
state laws in two ways. The offense
of which most complaint is made Is
that of permitting the shipment of
liquor in unbroken packages from one
state In the dry" territory of an
other state.
1t is also asserted that the federal
government is directly antagonizing
states by licensing the sale of liquor
in territory that has been made dry"
under state laws. In its anxiety to
swell its internal revenue receipts, 1t
is alleged. the government. through
its internal revenue department, ID
constantly recognizing the lawless
liquor element by issuing government
licenses.
The fight of the session will center
around the bill giving state control OF
interstate shipments of liquor into
dry" territory when they reach the
state border, but the temperance
forces may go further and demand
that the federal governments internal
revenue department shall not issue a
government license to any person who
has not first complied with all the re
quirements of the state law governing
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors. The
movement. in short. is to bring the
federal government to the support OF
the states in the effort that is being
made everywhere for the better reg,r
lation and control OF the liquor traffic.
