AROWAK HISTORY TOLD
Or. Farabee, of University Museum
Tells How Tribe Came to Florida

DIR. William c. Farabee, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum, in a
report on his three years expedition
into the Amazon country, tells how the
Arowak tribe came to inhabit Florida.
Doctor Farabee found representatives
of this tribe in British Guiana, their
old home. 1t was from this center that
they spread to the coast and were i'm
mediately pounced upon by the piratical
Caribs, who chased them to the Carib-
bean islands and finally to Florida
reaching that spot just before Columbus
came. Otherwise the poor Arowaks
might still be heading for the North
Pole. chased by the Caribs, who would
rather fight for food and raiment than
work.
The second volume of Doctor Fara-
bees report is to be published shortly.

that the greater responsibility for the
elimination of the mosquito nuisance
