ATAVISM EXPLAINS
 BLONDE ESKIMOS
Only a Few of Such Types We're
 Found By Explorers N In Arctic
By Associated Prsss

Seattle. Wash, December D.-Atavism explains the discovery of blonde Eski- n,os,, in Victoria Land in the Arctic, re- norted by Viljhalmar Stefansson, in the opinion of James R. Crawford, member of the second Stefansson expedition, who has come out of the north for the first time in l5 years
 The blonde natives are 'throw-packs of carly white explorers, Crawford be- 1;eves He expressed surprise that the ,e~- istence of an entire tribe of blondes was generally believed. He was with Stefan son when the blondes were discovered
 aIn Victrola Land.'' Crawford said, "there are probably three tribes or vii- lages. comprising several hundred na- tives. in which these light Eskimos are found. But there are fewer than dozen of the blondes. so far as we were able to learn, in the entire land. They had gray eyes, light eyebrows, reddish brc@vn hair and their skins are slightly lighter than that of their brothers, although not inoticeably so
 saThe natives made it known that they had never seen white men before, anc probably they had not" Crawford safd aRut their ancestors did see white men, probably Joking for a new land, who never lived to get back to civilization. x

 reason for the reddish hair and gray eyes of their offspring"

The propensity OF the American peo-

For the sake of fairness in the arsu-

The present speculation Is going tc
