Of the daily lives of the people at the giant pre-Columbian apart ment house at Pueblo Bonito, as at many other Indian ruing in the southwest, scientists long have known much. As travellers stood in amazement before one or another of the ruins of theso marvellous civilisations their al- most invariable question har

Back To A.D. 700
Dr. Douglass in his report to the National Geographic Society, writes:-
"Just as the far-famed Rosetta atone provided the key to the written mysteries of ancient Egypt, so the collection of an unbroken series of tree rings has mado clear the chronology of the Southwest.
**These researches have carried the calendar back to A.D. 700. in
the Southwest and they have pro- vided the beginnings of continu- ona weather chart for 1,200 years. "Through this work we have learned of some outstanding events in America which were contemporaneous with the ‚ ̈ con- quest to Spain by the Moors and we know that certain Pueblo In- dian settlement were enjoying their golden ages when William the Conqueror faced Harold the Saxon at the battle of Hastings.

Freedom from Disease The ethical aim of the movement is obviously directed towards adolescents whose records in the world outside have been peculiarly satisfactory. Four thousand ad- harents of the cult, young men and women, have been medically examin-
