labyrinthine passages, sculptured
rocks, a sun Photograph, and an en-
bedded fossil palm leaf which, from
its resemblance to the sun, had been
preserved as an object Of sun-worship.
Dates Back 600 Years.
Appropriately, this is christened
Sun Temple. In addition to the value
of the sun-worship symbols, it affords
also an estimate of the age of the
Mesa Verde ruins. BY record Of the
annual rings of a large juniper tree
that had fOrtuitOusly grown upon the
mound Of debris, at least $50 years
had elapsed since the tree took root.
When the temple was abandoned is
difficult to declare, for such debris
gathers slowly; but conservative esti-
mates place the construction Of the
remarkable building back to the year
1900 A. d. And this Sun Temple, as
betokened by its superior workman
ship and the trails of the builders lead
ing to and from the Cliff Palace, was
one Of the more recent structures. The
date of the occupation Of the known
older structures, as the noted Cliff Pal
ace, therefore, far antedates 1900.
Still later researches on the top of
the mesa have uncovered another ruin
near the old reservoir of Mummy lake,
to which the name Far View House is
applied, and there are countless
mounds only awaiting the scraper and
spade to yield up their enchanted Sc
crets.
The Mesa Verde National park now
includes q square miles, or almost
$4,000 acres. Under the personal d.
rection of Doctor Fewkes, the explor-
alton has been systematically carried
forward. The ruins already cleaned
out have been skillfully repaired with
their own material as much as pos
sible, charted and even numbered so
that their various phs ses of hooks
and inches and passages and chambers
explain themselves to the visitor.

There are both double and single
forms of the French marigold. The
named varieties are especially good,
but very satisfactory results are OBJ
tained from mixed seeds.
The African marigolds frequently
grow two or more feet in height, and
for this reason are better suited for
planting in mixed borders or along
belts of trees and shrubs than in beds
or masses in small areas This Is,

ANY OLD CANES?

The American Girls Aid society,
which has devoted itself to the cOllec-
ton of clothing and other materials
for French victims of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavor to
collect canes to be used by the MANNED
and crippled soldiers. There is big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands of canes in the United States
which are not in use. II the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters of the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue, News
York city, they win be appreciated.
1t is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes and
can develop artistic ability In making
up this material In serviceable form.

THERE ARE NO BAD BOYS"

There are no bad boys. We make
this statement confidently, knowing
that 1t will be indorsed by educators
and all those who have spent their
lives in working on the boy problem.
We will defend 1t in spite of all the
broken windows, stolen oranges and
canned dogs in Christendom.
There are weak boys, boys who lack
fesOurcefulness, boys whose ideas OF
right and wrong are distorted, but
there never was a boy who did not
naturally-cOnsciOusly or unconscious
ly-do the things which he believed
to be right.
The trouble comes when parents,
teachers and the others who are re-
spOnsible for the youngsters develop
ment fail to fill his time with useful
activity. The forces Of nature must
operate. We cannot stop them while
we take our afternoon nap. The wind
must blow, the water must flow, and
the boys brain and muscles must
work. We put windmill in the path

ously as it upsets the chairs on the
veranda and whacks the family wash

with the energy which it would other
wise dissipate in washing out it's
banks and roofing out the trees. These
things we know, yet we too often per-
init youthful energy, our most valu-
able asset, to run riot. We even at
tempt to dam it and then complain be-
cause it slops over and does dam
age.
The program Of the Boy Scouts Of
America is the mill in the stream Of
boyhood. 1t provides something use
full for every boy to do every minute.
Knot-tying, first-aid- and bandaging,
signaling, trailing and tracking, fire
building and extinguishing, camp cook
ing, swimming, earning and saving
money, hiking, mapmaking and map

MARIGOLD
(TaQetes)

There are two distinct types of gar
den marigolds, each with numerous
horticultural varieties, derived from
two distinct species.
The French marigOd, which is the
most compact and regular in growth.
and consequently the most valuable as
a bedding or a border plant, has been
developed from tagetes patula. while
the African marigold, which is Of a
more spreading and open habit of
growth and therefore less suited for
bedding purposes, but well adapted for
herbaceous or shrubbery borders, has
been developed from tagetes erecta.
