Colorado Guards to See Service.

Hope Of going to the border, once
more has been inspired in the hearts
Of the militiamen at the Golden rifle
range by a news dispatch from Wash
ington, reporting that Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker had determined
that every unit Of the national guard
should see border service before being
mustered out of the national service
The dispatch said that all the troops
not now on the border probably would
be there or on their way there within
two weeks, and that troops now at the
border, whose places they would take,
would be sent home and mustered out.
The Colorado militia is ready to go
now, said Capt. w. T. Bates, COM
mandant in charge. II the call comes,
approximately 1900 men will entrain
for border service, the captain
thought. Two companies of the mill
tia, composed of college men, Battery
A of Fort Collins and Company A, en-
gineers, of Boulder, were mustered out
and the men left for their homes.

ing their ancient community houses,
filling their ancient fields and tena-
ciously observing their ancient customs.
The route from Colorado down
through northern New Mexico to old
Santa Fee traverses the most fertile
and picturesque section of this storled
Pueblo country, where the work Of the
living and of the dead are alike prOml-
nent, and supplies easy access to that
one greatest of these Indian communl-
ties in all the Southwest-the Pueblo
Of San Geronimo de Taos.
Northernmost Of the Pueblos it Is by
map 65 miles northeast of Santa Fe,
and by wagon and auto road only 25
miles east from the railroad station at
Taos Junction, where automobile
stages meet the trains. The Pueblo
was visited as far back as 1910. by the
Spanish explorer fernando de Alvar-
ado. of Coronado's army. 1t was made
a Spanish mission, given priest, and
chrlstened San Geronimo (Saint Je-
romeo, as early as 1917, and since
those dates has changed little.
Here. annually, on September 30.
the 800 Inhabitants of the two massy
terraced clay community houses.
which rise tier on tier to the height
of five stories, celebrate the most i'm
portant Of their tribal feasts and
dances-the festival of San Geronimo
Day; dedicated. ostensibly, to their
patron saint. but really n thanksgiving
to the sun-god for the harvest.
This festival, SO old that the patri-
archs Of the Pueblo know not Its be-
ginnings. each year attracts spectators
from all over the United States, and Is
attended as well by other PueblOs, by
Apaches and Navajos. Accommoda.
lions for the Americanos are found in
the adjacent town Of San Fernandez
de Taos, two and a half miles by q
good road. where the Mexican popula.
ton Of the surrounding country add
their fiesta merry-makings to those of
the Taosans.
Beyond the observance of those or
binary politenesses, which devolve up-
on any intruders into private grounds
(for the Pueblo owns ITS lands), guests
are unrestricted; and therefore, rarely
is such opportunity given to witness
q truly Indian celebration. Spectators
should arrive on the morning Of the

abled to see the daily life Of the
Pueblo and In the evening will witness
the ceremonies by which the feast it.

These are the raising Of the 60-foot
offering pole, In the Pueblo plaza the
gayly attended mass In the little chapel
and the mystic sun dance In the twi-
light, by trained dancers waving yell
low aspen boughs and chanting the
sun dance song.
At night sacred rites, to which none
but Initiates are admitted, are per-
formed in the underground estufas or
council chambers; and In the town Of
Gan Fernandez Is held a grand bale
or ball to which all strangers are in
