The Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings Are
Really Complete Towns.

Really Complete Towns.
Many visitors to tl@ prehistoric Cliff
dwellings OF the Mesa Verde National
park. in southwestern Colorado. says a
government publication. are astonished
to find that what is commonly de-
scribed as a dwelling is not properly
a dwelling at az. but village or city.
The celebrated Cliff Palace is not q
palace. Neither is Spruce Tree House
a house, nor Balcony House a house.
Each OF these is a complete town
which once, In the dina ages before the
earliest Indian tradition. was an or
ganized community. often of consider
able size.
The arrangement of houses in q elf
dwelling OF the siz~ of Cliff Palace. for
example. is characteristic and init
mately associated with the distribution
OF the social divisions OF the inhab-
itants. The population was composed
OF a number OF units, possibly clans,
each OF which had its own social or
ganization more or less distinct from
others. condition that appears In the
arrangement of rooms. The rooms oc-
cupied by a clan were not necessarily
connected. although generally neigh
boring rooms were distinguished from

Babies In Samoa.

Samoan babies can give points to
Europeans apparently. According to
A. S. Middleton in Sailor and Beach
comber." they are much pyettier and
very intelligent Moreover:
They can swim at three months Oh
talk, run and sing at a year old. and if
a Samoan had child that sucked a

About These IOO-Point Babies
hoard IS NOT THE PLACE FOF

THESE remarks arc intended solely Tor
j our readers who have baby. or have
had one.
We hope that every ono of our properly
married readers has baby, or dozen
babies or has had them. but doubtless there
are some poor uufortunatcs among our read
crs. and such will not be much interested
in pcrusing these lines
They had great better baby" contest in
Seattle recently. and the physical, mental and
eugenic experts. claiming to have found sew
cral Hotpoint babies, give us. for the first
time. clear disclosure of what scientific baby
points
We have seen a.picture OF one OF these 100
point babies.
We're not going to give the baby's name
for some day she's going to be grown up and
blush fiery red every time kind old friend
sends her copy OF that picture.
The phys experts accredit this 2omonth-
old baby with 100 physical points.
The picture shows that there isn't point
about her Shes a lat BALL with the neck OF

Al unnecessary tallow.
She passed this mental test. which. we arc
told, is the mental and eugenc test for child
two and one-half years old:
She spoke in short sentences She could
point to eyes. nose and ears knew the names
OF her folks. used pencil and paper recog
nizcd herself in mirror. and when she saw

OF course, it's all right. But is there a
posscssor, or ex-possessor, OF babies among
our readers who hasn't seen all that beaten to
frazzle? We venture to say nay.
Why. VIC can put Our hand on (figuratively
spcaking) 10 babies within mile OF this Of

sentences. at Is months OF age and you'll have
to listen, too.
As to using" pencil and paper, there isn't
