CONSOLIDATION OF
CLUBS Is PLANNED

The Tulsa Traffic association and
the Commercial club will be more
closely affiliated in the future II the
informal ideas Of some of the direc-
tors of each organization are carried
out About a year ago the two or
ganizations split up through some
cause or other and since have con
ducted their business as distinctive or
ganizatons
Several of the directors feel that
both should work together and in close
harmony, with the traffic organization
as separate bureau of the CONNER
cial club. 1t would also be in the in
forest of economy to have both undel
the same roof.
It is likely that the directors of both
organizations will hold a me'tins IN
the near future and discuss the matter
in more formal manner.

A CRESCENT OF RUINS.
The Curious Old Cliff Dwellings Of tbs
National Mesa Verde.

National Mesa Verde.
In the Mesa Verde National park, in
southwestern Colorado. are 800 cliff
dwellings. of which only the three lar
gest have been repaired. The largest
ruin, called Cliff palace, stands about
thousand feet above the bottom Of
the canyon and 800 feet below the top
of the ledge. All the houses connect
and open into one another, the entire
settlement forming crescent about
800 feet in length from end to end.
As we contemplate these silent ruins
it is hard to believe that at one time
they resounded with the hum of indus
try, the laughter of children, the drOn
ing Of priests. and the strident cry Of
the sentinels calling the warriors to
battle. The jewellers Of these aban
doned communities have left no writ
zen record. but the shape Of the struc-
lures and the relics that have been
dug from the debris Of centuries give
some idea Of how these people lived
and moved and had their being.
The main houses were built on a
ledge close to Its front, and back Of
this was an open space that answered
the purpose Of court. a street. play.
ground or place for industrial pur-
suits, such as weaving and pottery
making. At intervals along the front
were towers and bastions. and in the
interior were kivas or secret chambers
used for religious ceremonies. In ev
cry village were storehouses to pro
vid supply Of provisions in times Of
war or failure Of crops.
