They lived in open caves and hunted with the throwing stick. Lat- - er they learned the art of pottery making, acquired bows and ar-rows and built simple pit houses. About the time that Charles Mar-te- l was defeating the Moors at Tours, or roughly in the Eighth century, a new people joined the Basket Makers on the Mesa Verde and together they made remark-able cultural progress. On the mesa top they built hundreds of villages, some with buildings of mud and others of stone. They improved their pottery and began the weav-ing of cotton cloth. These people apparently were peace loving, and in the 11th century about the time that Wi-lliam the Conqueror was land-ing in Britain, they also were beset by enemies. Many of them, therefore, moved off the open mesa top and constructed their villages in inaccessible caves located high in canyon walls. These villages, many of them well preserved today, are astonishing both for their size and excellence of building tech-niques. Toward the end of the 13th cen-tury, a drouth forced these people to abandon their cliff cities and move to more favorable lands.

Nurse Is Heroine in Railroad Disaster Helped Doctor In Caring for Dying and Injured. i ALTOONA, PA Two motion-pic- - ture executives aboard the l'ennsyl- - vania railroad liver, tlie American, wrecked near Huntingdon, named a registered nurse as the "heroine" of the crash. John R. McCrory and Julian Bry-an, both of New York City, said they were passengers on a sleeping car to the rear of the coach which was telescoped. They said all lights were knocked out in the crash and that trainmen rushed through asking for medical aid. An unidentified doctor and the nurse, Myrtes Carlo of Bronx, N. Y., hurried to aid the dying and in- - j jured. Miss Carlo said that there were "no plasma, no sulfa drugs and no morphine aboard the train. "We had to work only with band-ages until a doctor arrived with mor-phine a half hour after the wreck. The railroad aid car came from an hour and a half later." Miss Carlo said she and the doc-tor had to work by lantern flares. She said most of the injured sulTered shock and had had bad cuts. McCrcry said the freight train car-rying sheet steel on two gondolas had stopped on a westbound track, The steel cut loose from its moor-ings, striking the baggage car be-hind the American's engine as the American flashed along an adjacent westbound track, he said. "Then," McCrory continued, "the steel bounced back, slashed across two cars and cut through the fourth car like a knife." "It hit the upper part of the win-dow of that coach," he said, "and ripped the entire side of the coach to pieces. Then the steel caromed through a washroom into another couch." gflnHHgjBn'gfl BflSHflHs?9lii HbsKSxSERl i. MAN OF ACHIEVEMENT . . .

Recurring reports of a midnight "ghost plane" swooping out of the east at tremendous speed gave the British press a sensational aviation mystery, but the royal air force, while admitting the whole thing was "slightly mysterious," re-- i fused to get excited. Eyewitness accounts said the mystery craft, first plotted by radar early in January, zooms over the east Anglia coast as though it came from the continent and dis-- I appears inland at a speed of 400 miles an hour or more. What is even odder is that the plane never has been seen making the return journey from England to the continent. RAF night fighters have tried regularly to intercept the "ghost plane" but so far have been unsuccessful. "Radar has plotted some strange things in its time, from children's kites and raindrops to formations of geese, but it surely never plotted a stranger thing than this," said the Yorkshire Post, adding: "Is it a diamond or drug smug-gler? Is it conveying a secret agent from one foreign power to another? The only version we have not yet heard is that the aircraft's wings have been seen to be covered with snow." BROTHERHOOD . . . Radio song-stress Kate Smith received 1947 American brotherhood arts and sciences citations for her work. The award was given by the Na-tional Conference of Christian and Jews. 'Watchdogs' Left to Guard Home Just Dupes to Burglar CHICAGO. William Offerman's two Boston terriers proved useless as watchdogs. OfTerman, 52, a tav-ern keeper, left the dogs to guard his home. During the evening a burglar broke into the second floor apart-ment through a bedroom window. Swiftly he locked both dogs in a bedroom. After searching the apartment at his ease, the burglar started to leave with a wristwatch, a pistol and $60 in other loot. On the back steps he met Offerman and his wife, Grace, who were returning home. The Offermans stood their ground until two bullets from the thief's gun crashed into the stairway. They stepped aside as he fled. ASKS MORE PAY . . . Engaging in serious discussion of mmey matters arc (left to right) Secretary of State George C. Marshall; Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N.
