DEFINITE TRACES OF ANCIENT DESERT PEOPLES DISCOVERED
 ON MOUNTAINS NEAR TUCSON

An archaeological triumph, it is said, has been accomplished by c. s. Sarle, professor of geology of the Uni versity of Arizona, who has located and surveyed thirty-six sites of pre- historic villages in the vicinity of Tue son. Through the efforts of Profes- sor Sarle new prehistoric culture has been brought to the notice of scien- lists, it is stated by Robert F. Glider, Sc. D., archaeologist, University of Nebraska, who has spent much time in Tucson Investigating the discoveries of Professor Sarle.
 While Arizona has long been recog- nized by archaeologists as one of the richest states in the yielding of pre- historic treasures, almost all of the prehistoric research by various insti- tutions in this state has been done north of line drawn east and west through Phoenix, which comprised chiefly explorations of cliff dwellings and adjacent pueblos, according to Professor Glider.
 Desert Overlooked
 The desert region, the present hab- fiat of Pima and Papago Indians, had been overlooked, mainly because lit tie of archaeological interest had been discovered there. To professor Sarle belongs the credit for proving the southern Arizona desert, especi- ally that section lying about Tucson, richer in the remains of prehistoric tribes than any other section of the entire state, Professor Glider says.

No doubt the disarmament confer
ence was the source of many fine
ideas; no doubt many hard problems
were settled, as the conferees thought,
for good and all. That fact remains
TO be proved. Only time can tell.
To our minds disarmament means
something more than formal meet
ing when very wise lawyers expound
ideas, to them perhaps, but to the
layman they are Greek. And disar-
mament means something more than
the iunking of few battleships. Be
fore we believe too strongly that the
junking of battleships is straw
showing which way the wind blows
we should realize that in all prob
ability future war would not be
fought with battle ships. If it is
fought it will be with poison gasses
aud aeroplanes, II will be a chemical
war. Consequently we were not throw
ing away any very real implements OF
warfare when we junked sixty some
battle ships.
While not wishing to minimize in
the slightest degree the responsibility
of the German War lords in precipi-
tating the recent war, anyone who
has studied the causes leading up to
1t, who has read the history that pre-
ceeded it, cannot but know that every
nation bore it's share of responsibility
for the World War. The war was in
the minds and attitudes of men before
it became in reality in flesh and blood.
Disarmament means the junking of
hatreds and jealousies and until that
is accomplished we cannot hope for
peace.

NeW Year's.

Hope is, fortunately. one of the
strongest characteristics of the hu-
man mind. No matter how troubled
the sea may be, there is always hope
that the morrow will dawn bright and
cloudless. No matter how many SET
backs hope may have, it springs eter-
nal in the hannah breast. This tend
ency TO look for better things in the
future is always more noticeable on
the New Year than at any other time.
We may sigh over the past year and
regret many of our words and actions
but we always hope that the new year
will bring us prosperity and happi-
ness. We may have failed many times
before but the new years always seems
to inspire us with fresh courage.
II is well to hope, but we must not
forget that effort on our part is neces-
sary to bring our hopes to fruition. If
we want the new year to be full of
blessings we must strive TO make our
selves receptive. If we expect to live
better lives we must exert every effort
to overcome our faults. Rare indeed
is the man who does not know what
those faults are. He may strive to
ignore them-but deep in his heart he
always knows just where his weak
nesses lie, he always knows the point
where he begins to give way to them
though he may strive to convince him.
self that wrong doing steals upon him
when he is not aware.
The new year is pregnant with pos
sibilities and ii is our duty to make
them realistic. Whether or not :he
future is an advance over the past will
depend on our efforts. We can get out
of life only what we put into IL; only
by giving our own best can we hope
to receive the highest good lie who
is niggardly in his giving can expect
nothing but niggardly returns.

OF his life we learn how he spent some
of his Christmas days.
1t was very cold Christmastide in
1777 at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
Washlngton's army was in great need
of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions of parties Of men to go
foraging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.

present for Washington and his men
at New Windsor in 1880 when a big

who were cheerfully suffering all sorts

Reason is supposed to be the most
distinguishing mark between man
and animals. Yet do we use o6r rea-
son so much. The reason for most of
our actions is arrived at through habit
and not through reason. For example,
man who cannot swim falls into deep
water. lie has always been told that
few motions with his hands under
the water will keep him up Instead
of using his reason he throws his
hands above his head and sinks.
Our daily lives AS well as our minds
run in nets which deeper as we grow
older. 1t is SO much easier for us to
think in TuJ that very few of MS,
even the brightest, use our brains
efficiently. Unless we have some in
ceutiye for thinking out a problem il
slides by Most of US are too content
with our situation Sometimes we
realize that we have unused POSSIBLE
ties, bnt we measure ourselves by
those about us, satisfy ourselves that
we are doing as we'll as the next one.
and allow our unused powers 10 nt
dormant until they finally rust from
disuse and can never be utilized.
