Skeleton Shows Cliff
Dwellers Were Dwarfs

Prescott, Ariz.-Scientists who will
visit Prescott next summer to attempt
to clear the mystery Of the ancient
cliff dwellings on the Verde river will
be asked to give their attention to a
skeleton found recently by Morris and
Howell Payne, ranchers, living a few
miles north of this city.
Although the skeleton is apparent
ly no larger than that Of child Of
four or five years, the skull contains
a fully developed set Of mature teeth.
The Payne brothers unearthed the
skeleton while excavating for road
in Granite Dells, vast granite for
nation near Prescott.
The skeleton has excited lively in
terest on account of the size and the
maturity Of the teeth and skull bones,
which, one physician said, showed
none Of the evidences of immaturity
such as would appear on an infants
Uranium.
Prints Of the hands of the builders
of the well-preserved prehistoric
dwelling known as Montezuma's
castle are still seen in the mudlike
mortar holding the stones together,
and these prints indicate that the
jewellers were persons with very
small hands.
The tiny ,doorways and low ceilings
seem to bear out the theory that the
neoDle living there were Of small
stature.

Tucson, Ariz-Henry Bode, a min

the desert region that lies along the
eastern shores of the Gulf Of Califor-
MIA. Their supply Of water gave out
in the hills, where no springs could
be found, while the nearest settle
ment was several days travel away
So, seeking the shore Of the gulf,
they improvised crude distilling ap-
paratns, mainly from q five-gallon oil
can and several tomato cans. Thus
they obtained enough water for them
selves and four burros for ten days.
Then the party sighted small

MADELINE

ID IBLE history 10 responsible for
-. origin Of Madeline. The only pos
sible source Of the name Is the New
Testament story Of the tragic figure,
Mary Magdalen. Magdalen, it seems.
II not q surname, but merely trans
lates into "of Magdala," the village of
the scarlet woman's birth, and 10 re-
garded az an adjective Of place. '
So the soft harmony Of "Magdalen"
was not employed as u proper name at
that time, but history records that
various institutions, or rescue homes
for unfortunate girls, sprang up under
the name, until 1t began to be used as
synonymous for fallen women. Writers,
artists, and poets, who find fascination
In portraying the type Of Mary Mag.
dalen, with her luxury, her embroid-
cred robes and flowing hair, and her
inevitable tears as a repentant sinner,
kept the two names In vogue. But
finally the "Mary" was dropped COM
pletely and only Magdalen persisted
and waxed popular.
Each nation has taken the name
Magdalen and placed upon it the
stamp of individual spelling. England
calls her Madalene, eliminating the
"g'' for the soft sound; Madeline,
Maudlene, and Maun are other Eng
lish derivations. France prefers Made
leine; Spain and Russia. Madeline.
The French also claim the derivations
Magdalene, Maiden, Lene, and Len
chen. Maddalena is the italian YER
sion and Len is Swiss.
Despite the story of Madeline's orr
gin, the poets have chosen her name
rather to portray the shyest and most
virtuous of maidens, the typical sweet
heart~to whom young lovers write
odes. The best known poem to Ever
Varying Madeline" runs:
Smiling, frowning, evermore,
Thou art perfect in love-lore.
Revealings deep and clear are thine.
OF wealthy smiles; but who may know.
Whether smile or frown be sweeter.
Who may know?
Madeline's jewel is the moonstone,
that gem so potent for lovers who may
read their future in its Opalescent
depths. If she wears her talismanic
stone, Madeline may have her hearts
promises. The poppy is her flower, 8
is her mystic number and Saturday
her lucky day.
