Thus writes one of them.

Powder.

Nevada for years has been min
ing silver, copper and gold, but
now it has turned to mining tooth
powder. Twelve years ago, Mack
Foster, an old desert rat" and
big game hunter, discovered Mt.
Superdent, and found its peculiar
mineral would take the tobac-
co stains off his teeth. Other pros
pectors took to using it. but no.
body thought of stalking out
claim there. Eventually Foster
told a man named Fenwick about
the mountain. Fenwick' secre-
tary, a Western girl named Jose
phine Robinson. tried some of the
material and found 1t most effec-
tive. Fenwick staked the claim
in a hurry and now he and his
associates are sweating to keep
ahead of the orders.
The material mined from the
mountain not only cleans teeth
but polishes silver, manicures
nails, shines up optical goods,
whitens shoes, and makes a fine
shampoo. Physicians are using
it. too, for a surgical powder.
Science calls the material "diato-
maceous deposits" The noun
tain is out in the sagebrush
desert, about thirty miles from
Tonopah.

TT0NOLULU-Belief that the
Polynesian race came out of
.4A southeastern Asia Is expressed
by Forrest Brown, botanist Of the
Bishop Museum, who. with Mrs.
Brown, has just returned here aft
er spending seventeen months in
the Marquesas Islands. Brown
also expressed the opinion that
residents Of the Marquesas during
some pre-European period went
back and forth between that island
group and the American Cont
nent. He bases this theory upon
the presence in the Marquesas Of
the sweet potato and the papala,
which, he says, probably came
from semi-tropical Central Amer
lea.
Browns studies in the Marquee
sas have convinced him that the
food plants most common to the
native agriculture came original
ly from southwestern Asia. This,
he says, appears to be the most
conclusive sort Of evidence that
the Polynesian race originated
there. He believes that, forced
to abandon their Asiatic homes
because or pressure or tribes from
the interior, they were literally
driven into the ocean and obliged
to seek new homes on the islands
of the Pacific.
The taro and the breadfruit,
food plants common to the Mar
quesas. are those which Brown
believes were brought from south
eastern Asia by the early Polynes-
ians. Evidence similar to that
found in the Marquesas is pres
ent on practically all Of the other
islands in Polynesia, Brown adds.
