By JOHN DICKINSON 8HERMAN • JIERICANS who have already en . joyed the prehistoric mysteries of Mesa Verde National park should go again, for this Bummer there will be new things to see. Spruce Tree Camp hotel, with, all its appurtenances; has been moved to an admirable location overlooking Spruce Tree and Navajo canyons. This was necessary because of the steadily increasing attendance year by year and enlargement was not practicable on the old site. Mesa Verde can* never compete in tourists with other national parks like Rocky Mountain and Yellowstone for the reason that it Is tucked away in the extreme southwest corner of Colorado, 500 miles from Denver, the travel center. Moreover, it is an educational park, rather than scenic. Nevertheless, the attendance last summer was 100 per cent larger than in 1920. The picturesque Rock Springs Trail has been opened from park headquarters at Sprufre Tree camp to the west boundary of the park, opening up some hitherto inaccessible ruins of great importance, as will be seen later. These Include Mug House, Jug House, Kodak House, Long House, Double House, Ruin 16, Step House and Pinnacle Tower. This is the greatest group of ruins in the park, with the exception of the Chapln Mw croup. Visitors will find a new museum building--and In it some new exhibits of unusual interest importance. There will be plenty of water .on tap this summer-- thanks to the discovery of a system of prehistoric dams and reservoirs in a little canyon opening off Soda canyon. And .maybe this system la not interesting! t Of course Mesa Verde Is well worth seeing for Its unusual scenic features, aside from its antiquities. This public playground has real beauty, especially after the early summer rains when the Juniper and pinon trees are at their best on the Green Table Land. It is a high plateau, 15 miles by 8, from which the visitor looks over the variegated scenery of four states--Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Pbrk Point (8,575 feet) la the highest elevation in the park. Point Look* out (8,428 feet) tops the mesa. The northern edge of the mesa terminates In a precipitous bluff of 2,000 feet From it one looks over the great Montezuma valley, with its Irrigation reservoirs and fertile fields, as from an aiiplane. In the distance are shadowy purple masses--the Rico Mountains and Lone Dome of Colorado and the La Sals, Blues and Bears' Bars of Utah. To the south the mesa slopes to t*M> Mancos river and beyond is the Navajo reservation, surrounded by the deep blue Carrisos of Arizona and the Luka Chukas and Tunichas of New Mexico. And, 45 miles away, from the midst of a sandy plain rises Ship Rock, 1,004 feet high, which at sunset one is ready to swear is a great old-fashioned wind-jammer under full sail. Mesa Verde, however, was not made a national park because of its scenic beauty. Its primary purpose is educational. It is a museum of antiquities, in which all the archeological world has an abiding interest. Mesa Verde was the home of that mysterious prehistoric people we call the Cliff Dwellers. Its ruins and relics are the finest in all the American Southwest and in the world. The American Southwest was old in civilization many centuries before Columbus discovered America. Coronado, searching for the "Seven Cities of Cibola" in 1539, found the Zunl Indians of New Mexico living in great community houses or pueb» los, with not even traditional knowledge of the Cliff Dwellerp. Scientists are now of the belief that the cliff dwellings lh Mesa Verde were abandoned by the Cliff Dwellers aboht 1,300 years ago. Any estimate of how long they had lived there before they disappeared from the face of tho earth is guesswork. The mesa in Mesa Verde slopes'gradually from Its abrupt rise at the .north end to the valley of the Mancos at the south. Into this valley open many small, high-walled canyons. In the shelter of caves in the sides of these canyons are the best preserved habitations of the Cliff Dwellers In America. In prehistoric times a considerable pop- . illation lived there. They practiced agriculture on the mesa above, raising corn, often by irrigation. They worshiped the sun. They possessed HflMft-WWIKD i MNf WTOXW 0VS10USE HOG Georgia Man Shoots Brother-ln- Law Following Argument- Victim in Serious Condittajk Jeffereonville, Ga.--Shot in the diest with a shotgun said to have been fired by <5. W. Jackson, ft. L. Long was rushed to the Macon hospital from here. The shooting took place in the old Richland community, on the Jackson farm, and is said to have been caused by a dispute over a hog. Jackson was arrested and Is now in the Twiggs county jail here. Several score of shots penetrated Long's stomach, breast, arms and head. The two men involved in the shooting are brothers-in-law and live on ad- Joining farms. The shooting Is said to have been the immediate result of a quarrel over a hog belonging to Long that had escaped from the pen and Jtone onto Jackson's land. Long went to the Jackson home, it Is reported, and found that Jackson had turned a bulldog loose oo his bog. Long claims that the bulldog had torn the hog's head, and that he went to remonstrate with his brother-in-law. Long and Jackson were standing in the yard of the Jackson home, according to reports, and were disputing about the* bulldog's attack upon the hog, w.ien Jackson stepped back Into his house and secured a shotgun, firing upon Long through a window as the latter stood in the yard. The men live about eight miles from JeffersonviUe and are well known in this county. They were in town together here recently and friends report that they seemed the best of friends. •* SAY "BAYER" when you bixy-^gflubie Proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for p" Colds Headache Neuralgia Lumbago i Pain Toothache Neuritis Rheujnatism 'fe- Accept only "Bayer" package which contains proven directions.

They shaped stones into regular forms and laid masonry that has resisted the ages. They evidently advanced in civilization during their residence in Mesa Verde. There are hundreds of cliff dwellings In the canyons of Mesa Verde. Among the more famous are these: Spruce Tree House, with 114 roonip and an estimated population of 350; Cliff Palacil about three times the size of Spruce Tree Iiousef Balcony House, a remarkable defensive site; Fins Temple, a house of worship; Square Tower House. On the surface of the mesa several pretentious structures have already been uncovered and others await the excavator. Sun Temple has 1,000 feet of walls. Far View House, probably a pueblo, is 100 by 113 feet. * And now Jesse L. Nusbaum announces that ha has found in Mesa Verde relics of a people who' antedated the Cliff Dwellers. Mr. Nusbaum Is superintendent of Mesa Verde National park under the national park service, a bureau of the Interior department. He is also a£ archeologlst of note and has been Identified with researches in Guatemala and in various parts of the Southwest. He served a£~a major of ordnance in the World w ar. Visitors to Mesa Verde the coming season will have a chance to see these relics in the new park museum. And it may be tnat Superintendent Archeologlst Nusbaum will have more to show* He is now snowed in for the winter at Mesa Verdf, But he is not hibernating. On the contrary, encouraged by the national park service, he Is devoting every energy to the search for more relics. Here are some of the things Superintendent Nusbaum had to say about his discoveries at Step House, before he went into winter quarters: "The new Rock Springs Trail leading to the west side of the park has made it possible to visit many of the large ruins never before accessible to park visitors," said Mr. Nusbaum. "On this trail,, at a ruin called Step House, enough evidence was found on the surface to establish the fact firmly that even before the beginning of the Christian era, Indians made their homes In the same caves in which the Cliff Dwellers later built their homes above the ruins of this early civilization. "Evidence of this civilization, which Is known to archeologlsts as that of the post-basketmakers, has been found In northeastern Arizona and in northwestern New Mexico, but has never before been found in Colorado. 1 "These post-basketmakers were the first people to begin the making of pottery, and shreds of their crude ware have been examined. It whs found that cedar bark was used to temper the clay and prevent it from cracking during the process of drying. Naturally, In the burning, this was destroyed and as a result the pottery was of a more or less crude and porous variety. It is/'undecorated and is the earliest type of pottery now known to exist in the Southwest. It is of an adobe color with rather a pinkish or yellowish cast." Mr. Nusbaum has in his possession specimens of this pottery as well as specimens of baskets that thedfe ancient people made. Most of the baskets are of the fine-coiled variety. "There is only one culture in the Southwest at the present time that is known to antedate that of the post-basketmakers," said Mr. Nusbaum. "Already in the museum collection at Mesa Verde specimens are on exhibit which have been collected in the park and indicate that the earlier basketmaker people likewise inhabited this region. If such is the case, possibly this winter a basketmaker cave may be located and the history of primitive man id Colorado will be carried back to a period of possibly tea centuries before the birth of Christ," One Of the finds in the parte that makes Mr.. Nusbaum reasonably sure that that region was once inhabited by peoples of the earliest known were constructed la the bottom of the canyM and In nearly all the available draws leading into the main channel where flood waters could be In tercepted and stored. The highest dam so fa.' found Is a few inches over five feet In height, ant the extreme length of any dam is approximate!; forty feet. Tfcese were so built In a series (eighty six In quarter mile in the main canyon), that tht extreme water level In the lower one reached t< the base of the next dam above. Maqy of then are less than fifteen feet apart, and some an but a foot or two in height Water could have never been carried dlrectlj (Tom the reservoirs to the fields above becaus* \^jf the depth of the reservoirs below the avallabh farming land. Women and children evidently fol lowed the method of many of the present Puebl< Indians, carrying Jars of water on the head, ovet the trails to the crops to be irrigated. During heavy showers, the upper reservoirs wen the first to fill and as they overflowed, the lowei dams were filled. Since they were all for the mos> part built directly on the great sandstone cap whicl forms the upper 150 to 200 feet of the Mesa Verde the water was rapidly absorbed by the sandstoni and soon disappeared from the reservoirs above But it was not lost. ' Separating the upper ca| Of sandstone from the lower of equal thicknesi it an impervious seam of shale from a few lnchei to a foot or more In thickness, and since this hai a slope to the southward, the water seepini through from the reservoirs above, saturated th< •andstone to this Impervious shale seam, and fol lowed it southward with the slope of the coun .try to the point where it was exposed at Its con ftuence with the main canyon. Live springs wen maintained at the exposed tfiale seam, and onl] In this way could water be obtained through loni periods of drought which still persist on tbl llesi Verde. Adopting the methods of the ancient Cliff Dwell (It's, two large dams were constructed on the riu ' rock fct the head of Spruce Tree canyon, above thi old stock reservoir, and drainage ditches were con structed to increase the surface run off that coul< be conducted to these reservoirs. Four more res ervolrs will be constructed above this first serlei this coming season.

"To corroborate this statement' the state chemist at Boulder reported that ever when the water was at its worst and lowest stag< In the reservoirs above, only 426 bacteria wen found In the unit sample submitted, which is i remarkably low count.

The three women are Katharine Repp. Alice Leonard and Mae *Cuddy, all of 1826 Atlantic avenue. Massey said he met Katherlne Repp tat the hotel where he was staying, 'where she was employed as a telephone operator, and they visited some of the North side cafes. Later the .jJitwo other women joined the party. According to the testimony Massey lighted cigarettes for the women with $10 bills, threw a $100 bill on the floor, and i gave waiters $5 and $20 tips. The next morning he found his bankroll was missing and he went to police !headquarters. The arrest of the ^jyoung women followed, Tfhe police say that $285 was returned to Massey by one of the women.
