viii Study Odd Race

Strange midget people who live in
the Kalahari desert, Bechuanaland, are
the objective Of a scientific expedition
which has started from New York
The expedition consists Of three Colo
RADIO anthropOlogists, who explain that
as 'the lowest people on earth the
natives Of the Kalahari bush offer q
subject for study peculiarly fitting
Though these natives do not actually
swing from trees. their resemblance to
highly developed apes Is remarkable
They are the only race on earth that
have failed to acquire a single habit
from white men," The anthropolo
gists propose to spend a year among
the small people, studying their Gus
toms. religion and daily life. Their
practical immunity from western civ
ilization the experts ascribe to the fact
that in the wet season when reptiles
and insects swarm, the desert is very
difficult Of access, while in the dry sea
son water is almost Impossible to OBJ
