ANCIENT HAWAIIAN SKULLS
Find of Scientists May Explain Origin
of the Island Race.

OF the Island Race.
Information which may throw yalu-
able light on the mystery which sur
rounds the origin of the Hawaiian race
was obtained in explorations on the
Ma Pail side of the island Kauai BY
the party of scientists under the di-
rection of DR.. II. L. Gregory of the
Bishop museum.
The finest type of t~erracing for ag-
griculture in the Hawaiian islands was
found in the valleys on Kauai and the
irrigation system displayed great en-.
cheering skill on the part of the early
Hawaiians who lived there, Dr.. Greg,
DRY said. A prov Of an ancient out.
rigger was found in one of the
W. high up on a cliff. The prov
contained three skulls, which, on first
examination. appeared to belong to
some race other than the Hawaiian
probably to a race originating more
TO the south. The skulls may hold
the secret of the origin of the Hawai-
ians, DIR. Gregory said.

GOATS MOTHER ANTELoPEs
Former Were Hostile at First and
Then Showed Indifference.

Two goats at the Washington park
zoo. at Ell Paso, Tex, are now mother
ing a pair of baby antelopes captured
on the plains south of Juarez. The
antelopes are five weeks old and are
thriving.
The goats at first showed some hos
tility toward their charges. Now they
accept the two orphans as a matter Of
course, although they show little affee-
ton.
In striking contrast is the solicitude
of a monkey mother in a nearby cage
for her baby's digestion. Although he
Is getting to be a husky %youngster, the
mother still refuses to allow him to eat
peanuts offered by visitors. When he
slips by her and gets one in his mouth,
she grabs him, boxes his ears and
forces open his mouth, removing the
peanut. Then she gives him a good

FEW PEOPLE DIE OF OLD AGE
Only 7o7 Out of 12e,575 in New York
State During 1921.

Among the 129.575 persons who died
in the state of New York during 1921,
only 707 died of old age, although the
death rate was the lowest on record
and countrywide statistics show that
four years have been added 10 the av-
erage life through disease-preventive

PRESIDENT STILL I'LL

WASHINGTON Jan. 17-PresI-
dent Harding cancelled all OF his
engagements today in order to re-
main in bed on account of an at
tack of grip. 1t was said at the
White House that the day Of rest
was decided on merely as pre-
cautionary measure and that the
Presidents condition showed no Sc
rious developments.
Secretary Christian, after Visit
to the Presidents room, said the
chic felt "a very little worse than
he did yesterday when he attended
the cabinet meeting, but spent the
remainder of the day lying down.
He has been suffering from heavy
cold for several days.
Brigadier General Sawyer, the
| White House physician, described
| the Presidents indisposition as "a
slight attack of grip, such as about
everyone else is having around
| town.
The President has a little fever
! intermittently, such as one would
naturally have with the grip" DR.,
Sawyer said. He added that II Mr.,
Harding had followed his own inclin-
ations he would have spent today at
| his desk.

Board OF Aldermen Face New Fight on City Bill
COURT MARTIAL FOR Defiant GERMANS
Local Representatives
Invited To Tunnel
and Bridge Session

The proposition for tunnel under
the water or a bridge to span the
Staten Island sound between this
city and Tottenville, following the
talk before the Lions Club at the
New Packer House two weeks ago by
Dewitt Van Buskirk, of the New
York Port Authority has stirred res
idents of both this city and Staten
Island to take action in the mat
ter.
The Lions Club has gone on record
fss favoring the project and since
then the South Shore Protective AS
sociation composed of more than 200
members on the southern part OF
Staten Island have taken up the
matter. The latter organization at
it's meeting last week named a COM
nittee composed of James Nolan, d.
McAllister Mayne, Albert Ferguson,
Richard III. Britton and Stuart l..
Ritz, to bring the matter to the at
tention of the New York legislature.
With this end in view this commit
tee has arranged for a conference
with Senator Mark Allen and AS
semblymen Thomas Cosgrove and
William L. Vaughan, the three Stat
en- Island representatives at Albany
to be held at Borough hall, ST.
George, Staten Island, Friday night
at o'clock. to discuss the matter
of either a bridge or tunnel between
this city and Tottenville. Mr.. Ritz
who is acting as the secretary of the
Staten Island association is today

sending out invitations to Senator
Morgan f. Larson, Mayor William
c. Wilson, of this city, Assem- mblymen
Fred w. DeVoe, Harold G.. Hoffman
and Thomas L. Hanson, of Middle
sex county, and to representatives
of the Rotary and Lions clubs to be
at the conference. Borough Presl-
dent John A. Lynch, together with
other borough and county officials OF
Richmond, will be asked to attend
and to give their views on the sub
ject.
1t is expected that both the Ro-
tary and Lions clubs OF this city will
send over a large delegation to the
conference. The South Shore Pro-
tective Association, of which Au-
gustus G.. Marscher of Prince Bay,
S. T., is the president, are enthu-
siastic with regard to the bridge or
tunnel to connect Staten Island with
New Jersey, and are going down to
Borough hall, st. George, with a
large delegation of members. The
borough officials have been in con-
ference with Union and Hudson
county freeholders for the past
year or more in regard to tunnel
or bridge to connect Staten Island
with New Jersey at Elizabethport
and Bayonne. With organizations of
both Staten Island and New Jer-
sey working in harmony, it is be-
lieved that the legislatures of New
York and New Jersey can be in
Quoted to have some action taken on
the project.
