RELICS IN NATIONAL PARK
Sacramsntal Towers Built by People Probably Contemporary With
 the Cliff DWellerA

The new national park recently set aside by President Harding will have an unusual interest for tourists in that within its confines there are numerous relics of prehistoric race who probably were contemporary with the cliff dwellers. These consist of ruins of towers. believed by experts to have been used by the ancient peo- pie in their religious ceremonies.
 The new park Hes largely in Mon- tezuma county in Colorado, about 30 miles west of Cortez, extending into southwestern Utah. Most of the tow. CTS are in Colorado. They are lit- tie known outside Montezuma county. and are seldom visited by tourists. as they are 90 miles off the beaten paths of travel. They differ from similar ruins at Mesa Verde, which were built on uplands, and. or were, mainly used as watch towers or for astronomical purposes while some of the Montezuma towers are found in canyons.

BY MILTON BRONNER
Service Staff Correspondent.

LONDON,-If you want to keep
your husband happy, refrain from
asking him about his business.
Take this as a tip from Mrs. STAN
ley Baldwin, wife of the man who
probably has the biggest job in
Europe. As British premier he is
concerned not only with the per-
picking problems of his own nation,
but the leading affairs of the whole
world. He knows the inne most Sc
crets of diplomatic situations upon
which the destinies of millions may
hinge.
Yet when he sits down by the fire.
side after a hard days work, his
wife, no matter how curious h may
be, never tries to probe the secrets
that are his.
"I think it a great mistake on the
part of a wife, Mrs. Baldwin told
me "to start talking to her husband
about his affairs the moment he en-
ters the house. If he wants to talk,
well and good.
But as a general rule, what a
man needs more than anything else
Is to be taken put of his workaday
| world-be it bitches or diplomatic
| circles-and he able to put aside the
| cares that weigh on him.
at is the greatest mistake of mari
| tai life to try to bring the husband
| back to his business and professional
worries. Home should be a refuge
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-21

from these cares"
But although Mrs. BALDWIN never
forces political talk upon her hus-
band, he has great faith in her judg-
ment and frequently consults her in
regard to matters affecting his politi-
cal life. When he hesitated about
breaking with Lloyd George over the
question Of protection, 1t was his
wife who finally decided him, and
that decision turned the scale against
the Lloyd George administration.
But the first qualification for the
premier's wife," says Mrs. Baldwin,
lis that she should not be too much
of a politician. The prime minister
Is something more than a party
leader. He, next to the king, is the
head of the nation, and as hostess.
his wife must be ready to receive
people of all shades of opinion.
when a m is a politician,
she is generally more partisan than
a man. 1t would therefore be next
to impossible for a keen woman poll
tician to be successful as a premier's
wife. That's why I'm glad l am not
a keen politician. OF course l have
followed politics during my hus-
bands campaigns, but 1 am more al
home in the domestic sphere"
When Is her husband happiest?
when he Is by the freside," says
Mrs. Baldwin, with his favorite
pipe and a book, or surrounded By
his family. l am sure that were he
! left to a free choice, he would prefer
