The average American has been
described as eXtravagant and waste
full, but this was at the time of the
First Liberty loan. The war situation
taught us a lot of things about fnan-
cial matters. The increased cost of
food and clothing forced many of us
to think of money matters as never
before. Then the War Savings Stamp
and Liberty Loan drives came along
and taught us many things about
saving and investing.
Before the war there were less than
10000 bond holders in the country.
After the Fourth Liberty loan there
were over 100000 war savers an

An ArtfulLy Simple Beaver
Tdffetd Design.
A Little Long WASTED and Finish
ed with "a Covered Cord.

Women have learned a lot about
economy during the war, when dol
lars slid down the hill of value and
would buy only half of what they used
to, and now when the tension of war
is over it is human nature to relax,
and if one does not keep strict watch
of oneself, alas how easy it is to slip
over into the opposite extreme of in
diligence.
Women who have had to quell the
recklessly, paying prices they can,
not afford. but easing their con-
sciences that they have waited long
enough" These women might better
put their ambitions in the direction of
making a few pretty clothes when a
reasonable outlay of money will go

PRIMITIVE ART OF THE CAVE
JEWELLERS AND PCFBIOS.

1t was a double header at the Santa
Fe Print Shop on Wednesday after
noon, when Kenneth NJ. Chapman as
well as Mrs. William PenhalloW Hen
derson spoke on Primitive Art of the
Cave Dwellers and the Pueblos" Mr..
Chapman had covered two of the
walls with reproductions of the draw
ings discovered by the Springer eXpe-
dition three years ago in the REto de
los Frijoles, and Mrs. Henderson gave
d third wall to colored drawings by
the Pueblo Indians of today. Mr..
Chapman in his talk told of the dis
cOVery of the 200 or more drawings
on the walls of the Rito de los Fri
ioles Some of these were hidden
under as, many as 20 coats of plaster.
He would venture no guess as to their
age, but most of them We're obviously
pre-Spanish-that is, more than three
hundred years old, and may easily be
a thousand or two thousand years in
age. A few, again. were just as evil
IDENTIFY post-Spanish.
The drawings were divided as to
their character Most of them are
geometrical designs, in part symbolic
and in part decorative, such as are
! found on pottery. in hasketry and in
weaving. Some of them are masks
such as are still found among the
| Hopi A comparatively few are real
| istlc, animal and human figures, com
! positions such as from the standpoint
| of the artist are truly admirable. The
| relationship of these pre- historic
drawings with the art of the Pueblo
Indian is very apparent. Thus far, the
wall drawings of the Rio de los Fri
! joles are the best, although at the
Puye, in the Otowi and elsewhere they
are also to be found. There is album
dant evidence of the use of color in
some of the frescoes. Exact squeegee
copies of the drawings were made
with tissue paper being held over
/ them against the wall and gently
rubbed until the impression had been
| transferred.
Mrs. Henderson in her talk spoke
of the Renaissance of art among the
Indians. She traced the beginnings
of this renaissance to San lldlefonso,
where few years ago one of the
younger men began drawing The ex-
ample he set was soon followed by
! others, and the result was the crea-
! ton of drawings and paintings, unique
and beautiful, absolutely Indian in
| spirit and execution, winning the ad-
miration of artists and connoisseurs.
| They create a significantly new note
| in American art. There is nothing
quite as fine of the same character by
any paleface artist. Mrs. Henderson
made an eloquent plea for the en-
enlargement of this art and protested
against its destruction by well-mean-
ing but unappreciative officials. The

ideals of the Bible in an appealing
manner, taking the student into the
life experiences of a highly religious
people; it developers individuality, i'm

LITERATURE IN THE COMMON
LIVE

Mrs. Mary Austin held the closest
attention of her audience with hI
lecture, Literature in the Common
Life" on Tuesday evening at the new
Museum. 1t was the second of a
series of talks on Literature" and
was replete with anecdotes from the
speakers large experience in literary
workshops and workmanship. She en-
phasized that literature is part of the
common life and traced it back to its
beginnings, even before the days of
Homer, in fact. to animal life, for
Mrs. Austin maintains and apparently
proved, that animals tell stories and
stories. In fact, it was
from the psychological side that the
lecture was especially worth while.
Those present fully appreciated the
fact that the evening was a treat such
as seldom comes to a gathering any
where, for Mrs. Austin is not only a
postmaster in literary craftsmanship,
but also a speaker who knows how to
hold the interest of her audience.
