The First Americans.

Ethnologists, have long court
eously disputed the question, Who
we're the aborigines of America9
For a Tong time it was believed
that all the tribes and nations that
the early discoveries found here
were variations of a single stock,
of which the Red Man Of North
America was taken to be the
characteristic representative. Most
students of ethnology thought he
was more closely to toe Monaghan
races of Asia than to any others,
though there were many ingenious
guesses at his origin, among them
one that supposed him to be the
descendant of the ten lost tribes
of Israel.
But modern research holds that
there we're many waves of migra.
ton from Asia into America, most
and perhaps all of which came
across at the latitude of Boring
Strait, possibly at the time when
the two continents were joined at
that point. 1t is not probable that
that the Eskimos of Greenland,
the Iroquois, Sioux and the Chip
pewas of North America, the
cultivated and artistic Mayas of
Yucatan and the Incas of Peru,
the savage blackfellows of the
Amazon Valley and the nomadic
Patagonians we're ever of the Sane
stock. , 49,. ~.....'
At the recent meeting of scien-
tific societies in Cambridge one of
the speakers startled his hearers
by suggesting that one of the
early stock to find its way into
America was of a negro type,
similar to- that of the primitive
Australians. The same speaker
thought that the Eskimos are
probably the remnant of the
earliest Americans, and in spite of
a certain resemblance in features
between the Eskimo ard tie Mon
golian people that the nearest
relatives of the Eskimo were the
Nordic ancestors of the Scapdinav.
ian aid the German people.
According to that theory black
or nearly black wave succeeded
the first white emigration and
was in turn followed by an Aryan
and Mongoloid stock. The last
mentioned was the latest and in
many respects the most advanced
and has plainly left it's mark on
many of the most virile aboriginal
tribes of America.
What was the origin of the re-
markable culture of the Mayas
and the Incas, who we're the most
advanced of all prehistoric Ameri-
cans, no one knows with certainty.

NINE MILLION DOLLARS
 DISTRIBUTED BY JEWS
American Jewish People Contribute More Than S5,OO0, 900 Toward Non-
 scctarian Relief in Russia,

New York, March lG,--Moro than 1 s5,7O0,0O0 has been contributed by American Jews toward non-sectarlan relief in Russia. and further s3,- 300, ,OO0 mostly for their own people through the American Relief Admin istration during the year 1929, ae- cording to q report of the American Jewish Joint Distribution committee.
 The report was made by Felix M. Warburg, James N, Rosenberg and Lewis 1. Strauss, the three represen- tatives of the committee who in Aug ust, 1921, concluded the agreement on the combined work in Russia with Secretary Hoover. chairman of the American Relief Administration.
 About $4,000.00O of the s5.700, 900 was directly contributed toward Rus sian relief from the organizations own funds, while the remainder was made up of the 25 per cent deducted by the American Relief Administra- ton for general relief from approM- mately s7,000.000 in food packages sent by American Jews to Russia.
 Most of the funds expended by the American Jewish Joint Distribution committee, according to the report, are now being used for construction rather than for relief, such as fur nishing farmers with feed, cattle and implements, and providing capital to numerous small cooperative loan banks

He came over to see me that evening, solemn, ponderous and unimpressed.
 I dismissed him after the usual re- treatments had been proffered and accepted. A few further inquiries which I myself made in the neighbor- hood led to nothing. .....
