BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S birth
day, January II, is to receive more
than usual attention this year.
Franklin was the many-sided
American. And so, various kinds OF
trades and industries, professions and
organizations claim him as their
patron saint.
The printers and publishers make
the first claim. Poor Richards
Almanac was written by Richard
Saunders (pseudonym), but printed and
sold by B. Franklin, who cast the first
type, planned the first magazine and
printed the first novel in the colonies;
also establishing the Pennsylvania
Gazette, Of which the Philadelphia
North American is direct descendant
The booksellers claim him. Franklin
made books, but books made Franklin,
they say. And did Franklin not pub
lish the first booksellers catalog and
found the first circulating library?
Educational and literary interests
claim hin1-did he not found the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania and Franklin
College, the latter now absorbed in
Franklin and Marshall College at
Lancaster, Pa; and is Franklin's
autobiography not a classic of
classics?
Science claims him as the mo,, aOho
snatched lightning from the skies.
Philosophy claims him. Even
music claims him as the inventor of
the armonica, an instrument that gave
music from glass discs. And state
craft acclaims him for his profound
and patriotic craftsmanship at home
and his marvellous diplomacy abroad.
But above all, the people-those
who read and think-find in Poor
Richards sayings the fountain of
common sense, sage counsel, homely
wisdom, and philosophy that helps
them over many rough paths in life.
Yes, Franklin was the many
sided American, and perhaps in
honoring his birthday we may find a
way to present some of the many
sides of the Wanamaker Store. Who
knows?
Keep thy shop, and thy shop a0iU keep
thee, is Franklin's first injunction to
the storekeeper. Drive My business;
let not that driue thee, is his second
The first saying is proved by our
more than 60 years of continuous
storekeeping. The second explains,
perhaps, our sometimes energetic
merchandising and advertising
methods
The New York herald., 1922-01-12

We have just mentioned hospital
ity. There is more to business
than the mere buying and selling
The use Of money as all The advantage there
IS IN haUing money, says Poor Richard.
And again: The noblest question IN the
world as: What may l do IN it9
The New York herald., 1922-01-12

All of which is perhaps summed up
in this apt saying of Poor Richard: he
that arould be beforehand IN the lUorld
must be beforehanded aoith his business
the constant urge that keeps this Store
alive and ahead is the inherent stimulus:
do a little better each day; keep before
hand!
The New York herald., 1922-01-12

An empty bag cannot stand uprigW,
It's true; and store that Is not well
filled with good merchandise is an
empty bag of wind.
Nor can poor stocks, high prices
and inferior service be overcome by
advertising, however large or bold or
plausible. Many aoords pon't fill
blshel, says Poor Richard. And, Well
done IS better than aceU said. And, The
arorst wheet Of The cart makes The most
noise. And, Great takers, lille doers.
Our theory of advertising is that it is
to acquaint the people with the news
of the store-with its goods and SER
vices, It's hospitalities, its helpfulness in
the home. Wanamaker advertising is
not designed to sell goods, but to en-
able people satisfactorily to buy
goods.

Americas Prehistoric Inhabitants
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90. -
Visiting prehistoric ruins is now a
popular pastime with vacationists who
believe in seeing America first. Out
in Colorado in the Mesa Verde Ma
tional Park we have prehistoric re-
mains that compare favorably with
ruins anywhere, both in pictures que
ness and mystery. The governn ent
has for some years been engaged in
eXcavating and repairing them and
they show promise of becoming one
Of the standard sights of America, in
class with the Washington Monu-
ment, Niagara Falls, the Statute of
Liberty and Pixies Peak.
Only recently have Americans been
awakened to an interest in home
grown antiquities. In 1907 when the
Mesa Verde reservation was estab-
lished by the Government % tourists
came to see its wonderful cliff dwell
ings. Last year $500 visitors were
shown the sights of the park.
Each year more of the Mesa Verde
ruins are in shape for public inspec-
ton. DR.. Fewkes who is chief of the
Bureau of American Ethnology of the
Smithsonian Institution, spends his
summers directing excavation and re
storation work, with the twofold pur-
pose of promoting scientific knowl
edge and of interesting Americans in
the remarkable past of their country
Scientists have never been able tC
prove definitely whence the cliff dwell
lers of southwestern Colorado came
or how they learned to be stone ma
sons of such skill, or why they at leas
abandoned their stone towers an(
temples and disappeared.
1t is supposed that they were the
ancestors of some of the moderI
southwestern Indians who live il
pueblos, or community houses. A
one time some scientists though
that the Aztecs of New Mexico taugh
the Mesa Verde cliff dwellers to buiI(
with stone. But now it has beer
/ practically agreed that these prehis
toric Americans developed their owl
| building craft.
! At first they were cave men, seek
( ing shelter in natural caves in tht
sides of the canyons. Then they be
gan to pull stones about and plac,
them for greater protection. Wha

GOSHEN, Ind, May 29.-While a
somewhat smaller crowd than usual
attended the Goshen Memorial Day
program Sunday, the event was de-
clared very successful. Frank Strayer
of Richmond delivered the principal
address of the program. and T. Q.
Addleman served as chairman OF the
meeting.
Nine Civil War veterans occupied
places on the speakers stand. Each
old, soldier was given flowers by Mar
garet Muckerige and Mariette David
son. Sons of Veterans wore flag EN-
bIems on their coat lapels.
After the program the old soldiers
and the Sons of Veterans, followed
bv children with flowers, marched tc
the graves which were decorated. \
salute was fired over the graves anC

al purpose. 1t is at present a pile
of stones % feet high waxh a depress-
ed center. No walls rise above the
surface of the ground, but all the
stones covering the mound show ar
tificial work indicating fine masonry.
The size, shape and past use Of the
structure can be determined only by
removal of the accumuI ated debris,
laying bare the rooms now concealed
by fallen stones, drifting; sand, and a
dense growth of vegetation. 1t is
proposed to strengthen and otherwise
repair the shattered walls so that
tourists may behold one more of the
great prehistoric Mesa Verde build
ings somewhat in its original condi-
tions.
Mesa Verde excavations are of
great interest to science. A number
of scholars have made different de-
ductions and set forth different theo-
ries from the evidence so far unear-
thed.
Unfortunately the Feueblos of this
section had no system. of writing be-
yond a few rude symbo scratched on
cliffs or painted on their earthenware
jars. From remains found in their
buried dwellings it is known that they
were farmers, coaxingl a scant living
out Of the dry mesa country. Bits Of
pottery and decorated fabrics tell us
that they had a strong sense of beau
ty. By such random clues the lost
| Mesa Verde tribes intrigue scientists
| to further effort in the solution OF
! their mystery.

MAINTENANCE OF way
WORKERS FACE WAGE
CUT OF S48,OOO,OOO
CIV Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, May 29.-Maintenance of
way employees of the nations railways
today face $4S.0OO.000 wage reduction
effective July l. The railroad labor
board last night promulgated the order
which affects 100000 men.
This order, the $500, 900, 900 slash of
last July and pending orders affect
ing other glasses, jf they. carry the
same ratio Of reductions, would place
railroad labor where it was before the
100000, 900 in increase of May, 1920.
Impending decisions governing the
wages of 100000. railway shopmen,
100000 clerks, telegraphers station EN-
ployes and other classes, were expect
ed to follow closely upon last nights
order, which cut the pay Of mainten-
ance of way workers from one to five
cents, an hour.
With~their settlement over working
rules still pending the big Four
brotherhoods, and the switchmen are
not vet involved in any wage dispute
before the board. These classes re-
ceiVed a II percent reduction last July.
s..'s To Consider at Once.
Immediate consideration of last
nights order by the executive council
of the United Brotherhood of Mainten-
ance of Way employees was in prospect
today with the prediction by B. M.
JewelLSshead Of the railway depart
ment of the American Federation OF
Labor, that the decision will be reject
ed when submitted to a vote of the
men. s-r
brotherhood officials characterized
the cut as ''indefensible," asserting
that the case they presented to the
board did not warrant the reduction.
The~three labor members of the
board returned a dissenting opinion
to that order. The wage cut decision
was signed by the three members rep
resentfng the public and the three
railroad members.
s..- Use of Money Saved
Money saved by the wage reduc'
tions will besexpended in much need
ed maintenance work, according to re-
ports of the roads to the board. Start
ing of this neglected work will Offer
employment to 100000 additional men,
it was said.
Wages of maintenance of way EN-
ployes, now ranging from 28 to DC
cents an hour, after July will range
from % to 35 cents. Common labor
suffered the biggest cut. This class
numbers about $4,000 employees, who
face a reduction of cents an hour
along with $1,000 men who work at
shops, rouRdhouses and yards.
Section, track and maintenance
foremen will take a three-cent reduc
ton, while mechanics not under the
shop crafts agreement were cut -four
cents, and mechanics helpers one
cent.
In it's order the board expressed the
belief that after the reductions are
made common labor on the railroads
will be receiving higher wages than
similar labor in most other industries

are supposed to be their early at
tempts at building are simple shelters
made of huge stones set on edge.
From making these rude huts the
builders progressed until they were
constructing horizontal masonry with
stones laboriously fitted into place.
at least, this is the story read by sci
entists in the varied types of ruins
which plainly illustrate different
stages of skill.
Ancient Communists
Circular, square and semi-circular
towers, some 25 feet high, were built
by these Indian craftsmen. Rooms
were arranged in tiers to form com
munity houses. There were temples
with affairs and outlets for smoke.
Then the stone builders vanished, and
so complete was their disappearance
that even the Indians of the region
have only vague traditions as to their
existence.
A clue to the age of the Mesa Verde
cliff dwellers was noted by Dr. Few
kes in excavating the Sun Temple
ruin in 1915. A great red cedar tree
was growing in the annex to the tenn
pie. Its roots had penetrated into
the rooms, so that it was necessary
to cut them off and to fell the tree
in the work of restoration. A stump
of the tree was left, however, and
$50 annular rings can be counted. DR.
Fewkes adds 250 years as a conserva
tive guess for the time Of the temples
construction and use before trees
would have grown in it's deserted
rooms. From such evidence he thinks
it likely that the ancient Pueblos were
in existence about 1900 A D.
After the disappearance of these
early communists the rock villages
were left to be gradually worn dowr
and buried in sand and debris. Ir
1888 two herdsmen who were hunting
lost cattle discovered among the cliff:
what seemed to be towers and wall:
of city. Closer inspection showed
| that the structures were the remains
of an old cliff dwelling, a community
house with 200 family living room:
and % rooms for worship The herds
men named it Cliff Palace.
Soon after their discovery the Mesf
! Verde remains were found to have
! commercial value, and vandals begar

looting the rooms of pottery, bones
and bits of fabric The walls were
badly damaged and foundations un-
dermined by the reckless collectors.
In 1907 the Government reserved
the tract of land to protect it from
further plundering. Congress made
appropriations, and DR.. Fewkes at
once began to restore the damaged
ruins and to put them into condition
for visitors to see. Horseback trails
were the only way of reaching the
ruins at first, and few tourists had
sufficient enthusiasm to make the 80
mile trip from Mancos. Since then
automobile roads have been built, and
small hotel has been opened. Ran
gers act as guides, and Americans
can visit the prehistoric ruins of Col
orado in modern comfort.
Work Just Begun
Almost every year some new type OF
ruin is salvaged from the debris Of
the centuries. In 1910 the Cliff Palace
which is the largest cliff dwelling in
the southwest, was eXcavated and re-
paired. In 1915 the D-shaped Sun
Temple was brought to light. The
next year large community of new
! type was unearthed and in 1919 one
of the best preserved cliff houses in
the southwest was added to the list
| of Mesa Verde's attractions. Even
the wooden beams of the room of this
| house were still intact.

Scramble For Chairs

DOUGLAS-To vary the monotony of the many mad dogs, or perhaps it was merely feline jealousy oyer so much publicity for canines, a scrawny cat yesterday made things interesting around the Y. w. c. A. for few min utes by throwing fit which had all the earmarks of an attack of hydro phobia. Several visitors at the insti- tutionl spent an unhappy 15 minutes on chairs waitingtfo the police to ar rive and put a stop to the gyrations of the rabies-infected feline. When the first alarm was sounded over the telephone Sergeant Murchison was the only one present, and before he could get in touch with an officer he received four more riot calls. After the officer had left the station for the Y. w. c. A. six different individuals made 2 personal visit to the city hall tc spread the alarm.

inc judge that probably the young wo- man knew more about grammar than he did and she passed the examina- tion without further trouble.
 The school house at that time was located in Tombstone Canyon a short distance above Castle Rock two room frame building. This was con sidered too far from the city on ac- count of the various Indian scares and the school was moved to where Toy rea's market in Brewery Gulch now stands. At this time there were but four schools in the county, one at Tombstone, one at Dos Cabezas and one at Tres Alamos, about nine miles below Benson on the San Pedro river
 There were about IS pupils in the Bisbee school when it was moved to Brewery Gulch. From here the school was moved to small adobe building erected by the Copper Queen company near the present site of the Central school building. From this building the present Central school was the C tcome and the present splendid sys- tems built throughout the district.
 Miss Toles related one instance where small boy had gone home and secured supply of liquor and came back to the central school in an in- toxicated condition. He Sas sent into the basement by the principal Miss Reilly to sober up. In the basement he got hold of some matches and set the house on fire. He was sent over to one of the adjoining rooms to noti- fy them the building was on fire. He cautiously opened the door and said: Excuse me for interrupting you and your class, but the school house is on fire" She told how the pupils all came out of the building, down its mar row wooden stairs without one being injured.
 She paid glowing tribute to the late Professor Chas. F. Philbrook for his foresight in providing the excel lent systems of schools in the district and for the substantial buildings that had been erected through his efforts.
 As a tribute to the memory of the late Professor Philbrook, Dean F. c. Lockwood asked those present to stand in silence a moment.

Truck and Sedan Collide on Curve;
 Occupants Escape

The delivery truck of the firm of Hogan x Itzweire, driven by Ferdi- hand Itweire, and Ford sedan driven by Miss Geraldine Hogan, met in a head-on collision last night on the curve near the Gibson-Hines Lumber Company yard in Tombstone Canyon.
 Itweire was driving up the canyon and Miss Hogan was coming down with her mother, Mrs. H. l.. Jenkins and her brother, Elmo. In making the turn the front wheel of the truck struck the sedan and turned it over on it's side, the occupants being thrown out. None was seriously in iured.
 The sedanwas badly damaged. All of the glass in the witdowsf broken, as was the windshield and the top demolished. One of the rear wheels was damaged. The truck had one front wheel taken off ltzweire es- capped with few slight bruises.
