Find Throws Light on
Early American People

Evidence has been found of three
distinct ancient American civiliza-
lions, the oldest about 5000 years, in
the Lowry ruin, southwestern Colo
RADIO. The excavations were made by
q Field museum archaeological expe-
ditiOn, under DR.. Paul S. Martin.
Two large kivas, best described as
Doctor Martin reports. One was con-
structed on the ruins of the other.
Material there found, with that from
several large burial places, will be
sent to the museum for a new hall
of archaeology. The ruins are the
largest in the Southwest, and were
untouched by previous explorers. On
the walls of the kivas were paintings
depicting the religion and domestic
habits of the people. "Great was
our surprise" writes Doctor Martin,
ito find fragments Of perfect paint
ingS still adhering to the walls Of
the upper room. They probably had
not been exposed TO the light of day
for 5000 years. All were perfectly
geometric, and were executed in
black and white. The information
obtained from the lower room was
of even more Importance. The paint
ings were in better condition, and
were similar in design to ancient
pottery, representing lightning, rain
and clouds. This is the first time
such designs have been found on
kiva walls"

excellent when ground and used In
various ways.
The method Of cooking a pot roast
is given in popular free leaflet on
the cooking of beef, prepared by the
bureau of home economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Choose a piece of beef from the chuck
From four to six pounds is good
weight Wipe the meat with damp
cloth and rub it with salt, pepper, and
-four. Next, brown the meat on all
sides in a heavy kettle, using about
three tableSpOOnfuls of beef fat. Slip
a low rack under the meat, add one
half cupful of water, cover tightly,
and simmer until tender. The time
required for cooking cannot be def
nitely stated, but it will probably be
about three hours. Turn the roast
occasionally. When the meat is done,
remove from the kettle, skim off the
excess fat from the liquid, and meas
ure the remainder. For each cupful
of gravy desired, measure two table
spoonfuls of the fat and return to the
kettle, add one and one-half to two
tablespoonful of -four and stir until
well blended and slightly Drowned.
Then add one cupful of the meat
stock or of cold water and stir until
smooth. Season the gravy with salt,
pepper, and chopped parsley. Serve
the pot roast on hot platter with
buttered carrots and stuffed onions
If desired, any of the following veg
etables may be cooked in the pot with
the roast: Carrots, onions, potatoes,
and turnips. Add the vegetables dur
ing the last hour of cooking the meat
if they are to be served whole or in
quarters. If preferred they may be
cooked longer and mashed and served
as PURGE in the gravy.

The Cited Captives

AS a tonic for morale which some
times needed stiffening, the German
"all highest" adopted policy of
praise for certain Austrian divisions
on the Western Front.
Among papers seized by Americans
from an Austrian regimental p. C. near
the end of the war was German
corps order which highly praised the
First Austrian division. The docu-
ment mentioned especially the heroic
and wonderful work against the
Yankees by the Fifth Austrian regi-
ment of infantry.
A short time later, the order was
sent to the front to be read to troops
of the Fifth Austrian infantry. And
on this occasion even the youngest
Austrian private of the rear ranks
roared with laughter-for the docu-
ment was read to them by an Ameri-
can captain as they loafed in an Amer
lean prison pen. The entire Fifth reg
iment, including 800 men and officers,
had been captured by the Yanks.
Several days later a message was
dropped from an American airplane
for the German high command. 1t
contained the reassuring information
that members of the Fifth Austrian in
fantry would continue their good work
mainly in building roads and in
other construction to which prisoners
of war were commonly assigned.

Hints for the Busy
Housewives

Bottles can be deodorized with pow
dered black mustard seed and water.
To keep butter perfectly sweet and
fresh the container should be washed
and scaIded for each new print
Chocolate stains can be removed by
soaking in cold water as soon as pos
sible after stains appear.
One can use ice received in the
morning TO make ice cream or ices
and afterward use the ice for keeping
the refrigerator cool.
To foster a love of reading in chill
dren, see that they are provided with
comfortable chairs and good light
placed conveniently near.
A palatable way to serve cold boiled
potatoes is to put them through the
sieve, season them well with butter
and salt, form into cones and brown
in the oven.
Kerosene or gasoline should be ap-
piled to the machine at intervals.
This cuts the hardened Oil that may
have accumulated.
Make baking powder biscuits in the
usual way, then when ready to roll
out mix with a cupful of clean dry
currants or chopped raisins.
When baking cookies turn the pan
upside down and bake them on the
bottom. They will bake more evenly
both on the top and the bottom.

Now that beads are accepted in the

An interesting new theme is the cowl

with matching wide beaded cuffs adds
charming note of color to any num-
her of the black or dark-tOned crepe
frocks which are now in the fashion

Since contrasting sleeves and yokes
are so important, designers are turn
ing to unique and colorful beadwork
as means of adding to the chic and
