BUIT BEFORE SUN TEMPLE That Building in Mesa Verde National Park Wa Inhabited I Shown by Household Utensils Find Ancient War Club. Denver, Col. A ruin more than l.WKl years old the most ancient ol nil the ruins discovered In the south west has been unearthed In Mesa Verde National park, Colorado, by lr. Jesse Walter Fewkes of the Smlthson luu Institution. Doctor Fewkes started to excavate on July 'M a large mound live miles from Spruce Tree camp, on top of the mesa. He has made Milliclcnt prog ress to show the outlines of a huge building of the pueblo type of architec ture, 11J feet long und l):t feet Able. Including. u plaza. The iniiln bulidlhg contains u large court und at least three circular klvua, or ceremonial chambers. Doctor Kcwkes says the bulldi.ig Is much older than Sun Temple, wli'ch be excavated In Mesa Verde National park last year. In fuct, It Is by far the oldest building uncovered In the southwest, und shows Hint the people who Inhabited Mesa Verde National park must have nourished ut least l,(HKl years iil'o. t News of Doctor Fewkes' discovery was brought to Denver by Dr. Elmer E. Illgley. pastor of a church In Des Moines. In. He takes a keen Interest In archaeological subjects, particular ly those concerning the Mesa Verde, on which be lectures. He wus one of the first to explore the cliff dwell ing now known us Daniel's House, which was explored for the first time last summer. Building a Distinct Type. "Doctor Eewkes has made n wonder ful discovery this season In Jlesa Verde National park," said Doctor Illg ley. "He hns uncovered u new type of building. The ruin which Is now being uncovered Is situated about thir ty rods south of the large circular res ervoir known ns Mummy hike, which is close to the uutomobile rood lending to Spruce Tree camp. Everyone who visits the ruins has Mummy . hike pointed out to him. "There are nine large mounds ncnt Mummy lake and It Is one of These that Doctor Eew kes has excavated this season. Probably It will be late In September before the work W complet ed. The building Is rectangular It shape und the masonry work Is not so good us that In Sun Temple, w hich Doc tor Eewkes excavated last year. !oc tor Eewkes Is of the opinion that the building which Is being excavated tills season Is much older than Sun Tem ple, which probably was built n limit A. D. The building on which he Is now working evidently was In habited, while Sun Temple was not. The workmen are finding broken pot tery in great quantities and household Implements ns well. Evidently the building was covered und was very Imposing. "About a dozen men are working on the building and ull lire keenly interested, feeling thut valuable dis coveries may be made at any time. Tbe building represents a distinct type, en tirely different from the cliff ruins, themselves, which me built In caverns in the cliffs. The buildings around Mummy lake were built In the open much on the lines of modern sirue tures. The building being uncovered commands n view for ninny tulles In till directions, and for this reason It has been suggested that the run be named Prospect House. Finds Ancient War Club. "As is the case of Sun Temple, thfc walls of this building are two or three feet thick. Double walls extend all the way around the building, probably for purpose of defense. Probably n roof will be put over this building, but I: !s the Intention to make the cov ering strictly nioderu and not to at tempt to conform to cliff dwellers or mesa dweller type. "It Is Doctor Kewkes' Intention to do some work this season on Mummy lake, which has been the cause of much speculation. It is the general opinion that Mummy lake was it reservoir suh plying water to the group of buildings In the Immediate vicinity und perhaps part nf un Irrigation system. The mound Is circular und has n depression In the middle. The structure covered by earth evidently Is double walled al:d of grout sine." Doctor Illgley entered n cliff dwell ing which, It was MipMised, never bad been explored before. It was m-ces-snry for blm to be lowered IK) feet over the side of a cliff to get Into the building. He found thut one of the Wetherills nnd a companion had beer In the building In the eighties, about the time the cliff dwellings were dis covered. In this building Doctor Illg ley found nn Implement which Do tor Pew keS pronounced a sort of war club. It '-(insisted of a stone to which was attached a short bundle.

It bus severul points of ndvantago over the hoop. The flare In tbe frill results from the stiffness of the taffeta and Is anpported by pnrullel corded tucks. The tuck are run In at two-Inch Inter vals and a cord Is run In the narrow bera which extends about the bottom end sides of the frill. The petticoat Is finished with shal low Bcullops about the bottom, outlined with nurrow frills which are extended Into rosettes. It Is shirred In at the waistline to n bodice and fastens In the bock. The frill may be separate und fastened on at the wnlstlltie with snap fasteners, so that the petticoat will serve for wear with other gowns as well a those with a wide flare about the hips. With frocks of this character the frill Is more graceful than the hoop nnd easier to manage. It Is acceptable to women who will not go to the extreme of tbe hoop end Is especially effective with dancing frocks. Taffeta Is not the only silk used for pcttlcouts but Is the best choice for one of this particular kind.

The cont of peat powder Is estimated at $1.02 a ton compared with the price of conl $0.03 per ton. Tbe committee lias asked In appropriation from the Swedish government of $350,000 to be used to erect a pent powder factory, acquire peat bogs, and convert the locomotives of one railway line Into peat powder burners. There Is an Immense quan tity of peat In the bogs of the South, estcclally In Virginia and Florida. Some Anna have been mining tbe peat and using It under boilers as fuel with satisfactory results nnd at a cost fur below that of other fuel. It Is nlso pointed out that the raw peat, cheup ly prepared, might be used In gns pro ducers. Tho process to be used in extracting the gus would be very sim ilar to the process used In the extrac tion gus from coal.

Wall Street Journal. Rewarding Italian Soldiers. A salary scheme Is being worked out In Italy, whlcb promises to hnve good results. Suluries will be paid by employers to their employees, who are on active service the continuation of which will be reguluted according to the number of years of previous serv ice. The first clause provides for the reinstatement In their former posi tions of all employees having served for at least one year with the firm for which they were working nt the entrance of Italy Into the war. The clauses relating to snlurles during the war are as follows: All worklngmen with the colors who huve been with firm for at lenst five jears are en titled to a third of their usuul sul uries during the continuation of -the war. This applies to ninrried men with families. In all other cases the employers shall pay the meu at the rate of a quurter of their former sal aries. Men with ten years' service to tlielr credit will receive, If married, with families, one-half of their sal aries, nnd If not married a third. The decree only applies to firms employing nt least three workmen. Oxygenerator Is Popular.
