' Prophecy Relatinfi ‘to Pueblo GEOLOGIST'S VISION Bonito, in Chaco Canyon, . Held Marvelously Accurate. Seeing A 48year-old prophecy come true, is the priv: | of Willlam H. Jackson. veteran | geologist. who has heen the guest of | the National Geographic Society's expedition, which ix exploring the prehistoric Pueblo Ronito in Chaeo Canyon, N. Mex. | Jackson, with the Hayvden party/ fn 1877, scouted down Chaco Canyon and mapped the many deserted pueblos of this winding cut in the treeless hills. Pueblo Ronlto, he re- ported, was the largest in the canyon and the only one which still had walls standing higher than _two i steries. Jackson is an artist as well as @ geologist, photographer and ! plainsman. He drew a plcture of Pueblo Bonito as it might have ap- peared In its prime. Mind's-Eye Map Confirmed. Dr. Neil M. Judd, in charge of the | soclety's expedition, took with him Jackson's mind's-eve map, when the Aigging began four vears ago. Every | vear of excavation has confirmed th: Drophetic vision of his original con- ception of the prehistoric aApartment | house. | ‘““The ground plans and descriptive nformation prapared by Jacksen,” Dr. Judd says in a commication to | the society, “still atand as marvals | of accuracy “Revisiting the scens of some of hix earlier exploratfons for the first | tima in 48 ‘vears. Mr. Jackson. now | 83 vears old, enjoved himself fo the | ! ht out old stalr- aphic inscriptions remembered: he displaved | strong, active interest in the current ! explorations and devoted a portion of each day watching the work.” Instead of & ruin of broken-down walls, Jackson visualized in 1877 what exploration has:since revealed, & structure of trim bilck shaped like great stadium. From the interior arc of space left for games and religious festivals, the terraces rose, giving each apartment a view of the “play- ing field.” The outside wall of the arc was a sheer drop of four stories. The ends of the arc were joined by A lower defensive wall parallel with the dry creek bed. The whole com- munal dwelling law under the shadow of a huge cliff. i As In the adobe rooma of Pueblo v, ladders gave access o the prehlst By pulling up their oceupants could present a solid front fo an attacking enemy. Above a cer- tain. safe Hmit, all the walle Were punctured by windows to admit light to the apartments. Also indicated in Jackson's drawing And established beyond doubt by Dr, Judd’s excavation, are the estufas, or round subterranean religious rooms. These were the tribe's high places of worship. At Pueblo Bonlito ' Jackson found much of his prophetic drawing recreated in solid, durable stone. Dr. Judd has carefully cleaned out the de- bris of centuries from the great ruins, sifting it, spadeful by spadeful, for clues to the life of the dead, dwellers. Repairs Broken Walls. The breaking walls he and his work- men, many of them Zuni Indians and probably blood descendants of the | very oceupants of Pueblo Bonito, have repaired, using the same kind of brick. They are trying only to preserve the remains, not rebuild the vast dwelling, ut the work accomplished gives the visitor & clear idea of the original pueblo and the life its inhabitants lived. Jackson ix one of three survivors | of the Hayden expedition which went into Arizona and New Mexico in the late seventles, daring the danger of Indian attack to explore this _little. known territory of the United States. Dr. Willlam H. Holmes, now of Wash: Ington. D. C.. was associated with Jackson In this ploneer expedition. The United States now has 563 broadcasting stations.

LONDON, September 24.—Plans are well advanced for the annual confer- ence of the British Labor Party, which will he held late this month in Liver. pool. The executive committee cireulated A number of draft resolu- | tions which are remarkable, In Ehn'] they Indicate the decided tendency to- ward a modified form of imperialism, among Labor leaders in Parliament. Opposition will be encountered in this, however, and amendments al- ready have heen prepared disigned to bring the convention back to the old standpoint of Labor poliey, prom- inent in which are wuch tenets as nationalization and the capital levy. One amendment, for instance, asks the conference to “repudiate the im perialistic utterances of certain Labor leaders.” From Manchester is de manded the capital levy apd the sus- pension ‘of war loan interest on hold- ings more than 5,000 pounds sterling, with the raising of death dutles to three-fourths of the amount of estates. The Communist controversy again will be well to the fore. It is likely that while maintaining its refusal to accept the affiliation of the Communist Party, the conference will as a mat- ter of convenience relax restrictions on Communist delegates taking part in Labor meetings.
