NelD Mexico Boasts Four
Stages of Civilization

Four stages of civilization have ex-
listed in New Mexico The present or
American; back of this the Spanish,
which came with the Spaniards in
1910 When they came they found the
civilization of the Pueblo Indian, with
at least seventy villages, cultivated
fields and extensive irrigation. Co
existent with them were prehis-
toric race, living in well-built cities,
with houses of stone, some of them
four stories high, and they were cul-
tivating irrigated fields. Their bitches
and irrigated works were as we'll laid
out as If run by modern engineers.
They have entirely disappeared and
we know only that they were here
for an unknown period, beginning at
least 1000 years ago.
All that remains are the mighty
ruins, some are in cities down on the
plains and others are cliff dwellings,
where houses are built on the cliffs,
and some were cave dwellings. One
building at Pueblo Boniao, which is
one of the earliest apartment houses,
had four stories and covered greater
area than the capitol at Washington.
Today, remarks Adventure maya
zine, the traveller can see at one time
the nomadic Indian, the pueblo dwell
er, the Spanish occupation and the
present Anglo-American development.

Have You This Habit?
BY Margaret Morrison
JOHN STARK

"THE habit of regret is four-fifths
= laziness and one-f1fth self-indul
gence," was John Stark's slogan. John
knew something about the habit of re-
gret. Up to the time he was twenty
two years old, he had lived at home In
his fathers house. His fathers regret
was the good old times. John was
brought up to feel that the best things
the world would know had passed be-
fore he was born. With them lived
maiden aunt who kept house. She
was kind Of personification of re-
gret, but what she had lost John never
knew until he was big boy of six
teen or so. Then he learned that she
had been disappointed in love. Final
ly 1t turned out that Mr. Smith, who
Lived In the next town and had ten
children, was the living symbol of this
regret.
Then the boys father died, and he
started in upon his career as an un-
derclerk in the big real estate com
pany where, had his father lived, he
would have begun as q Junior part
ner. Some one remarked one day that
1t was a shame he should have to re-
gret all this when he was so young,
and John replied that he had no time
to regret it.
Eventually he worked up very near
to the top and then he was taken into
the firm. A month later the firm failed
Other big companies had no interest
In John Stark, and he could find no
opening with any one of them. Then
John Stark decided to make his own
opening. 1t was about this time that
some one suggested that life had dealt
him very hard hand his answer was
that he couldn't be bothered about that
because he had a job to put through.
In his real estate experience he had
noticed the need for firm to handle
small and inexpensive, but up-to-date,
dwellings, and such a company he now
started out to organize.
Little by little he not only increased
his own income but also was granted
the realization that he had made
crowded city more liveable for hun
dreds Of families. On the day when
he was fifty years Of age, a group Of
very old acquaintances had dinner
with him. Naturally they talked of the
past One was sure that If he had
had the money to 60 to college he
would have achieved his ambition to
become doctor. If another had been
one inch taller he would have gone to
West Point and risen in the army !;
barred that career, the world held
nothing for him. SO one after another
round the circle presented his excuses
and his regrets. But all the time John
Stark knew that, if the /would-be doc
tor had been endowed, Or if the would
be general had been giant, the one
would never have been awarded the
Nobel prize nor the other the Congress
sional medal. For the man who has
the habit Of regret is not the stuff of
which heroes are made.
HAVE YOU THIS HABIT?
