force of the Bureau of Police increases
needed would total S3S 900 more. The

Van Valin, Head of Wanamaker
Expedition, Brings Back
Big Collection
BABY BORN IN NORTHLAND

Five thousand specimens collected III
Arctic coast Of Alaska. and n baby son
born in the frozen north. are among the
treasures brought back by William Il.
Van Vain, the explorer, who returned
yesterday after an absence from Phil
adolphia of two years.
He is preparing today for more work.
This will include plc0ing his collection
in the University of PENNSYLVANIA
Museum. and lectures on what he saw
while in the region OF the North Pole.
MIR. Van Nalin was leader of the John
Wanamaker expedition.
He says the ESkimoe arc diving of
rapidly, chiefly from tuberculosis.
which is making widespread ravagcs.
During the influenza epidemic OF Il
year ago, there was danger of the com
pctc wiping out of the Eskimos. He
says that to prevent this threatened
determination of an interesting race.
guards were placed on all trails who
turned back all travellers, white or
Eskimo. This kept the influenza out Of
the Eskimo country and saved the dying
race from quick dcStruriiun
l'Nl'lN lSlI lll'NNlll'H NITF taken To
protect the Eskimos, he says. there
were many deaths. At Cape Prince
Of Wales, only Il few children are left
of an Eskimo population of 30. At
other coast points the entire population
of villages disappeared.
Modern conditions arc against the
survival of the Eskimos, says Mr.. Van
Naliu
lie was accompanied by his wife. his
eighteen months old Snow baby" and
n six year old daughter, Dorothy Van
Nalin. all OF whom bravcd the Alaskan
cold with the explorer.
Among the most interesting articles
in his collection are specimens takcu
from six ancient iglooS which he found
buried bcncath the snow and ice. I'm
these ruined old buildings he found the
bodies of 100 lskimos Of all ages, some
of them well preserved after having
been hidden for centuries
The discovery of the iglooS enabled
Mr., Van Nalin to gather specimens of
the garments and utensils used BY
Eskimos--or their prcdcccssors-in pre-.
historic times. For it is not known
with certainty whether the occupants
of the glOos discovered were ancestors
Of the present Eskimos or another race
