win 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 a
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 $
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

Missionary Tells OF
Cold Spells in Alaska

Watching the thermometer, shovel
ing coal. and listening to ones breath
crack as he breathes, are the exciting
current events in the life Of Rev.
Robert r. Marquis, a missionary at
Nenana, ALASKA. according to a report
received by the Presbyterian board of
national missions.
Mr.. Marquis had been a Sunday
school missionary in Wyoming, but
took his wife and child to Alaska last
summer, and now tells the board he
likes his new work, despite the Arctic
conditions.
I'VE are experiencing some real
Alaska weather" he writes. IT went
down to 70 degrees below last night
and has only warmed up to 60 below
in the middle of the day, SO we are
spending most of our spare time carry
Ing coal. When it goes down to be-
tween 40 and so below zero. a fog de-
velops; that Is, every bit of moisture
freezes. and the colder 1t gets, the
more fog. so that at night one can
hardly see a light a block away. On
the higher elevations they do not
have the fog. ,
"The sled trail has drifted a good
deal. On the last trip the mail stages
had to break trail first, with one horse
and then another, and then take the
sled, which made slow going. On the
outgoing trip they had a school
teacher, a middle-aged married wom-
an. She froze her nose. She was
determined, however, to go to the
next road camp, even though the
driver wanted to return to the one he
had left.
ION the return trip he brought a
young woman with a three-months-old
baby. While the driver was break
ing trail she would go along with a
lashlight to show him where the trail
was. She had the baby wrapped up in
a rabbit-skin bag in the sled near a
footwarmer, but 1t became too warm,
50 that she had to take some of, its
wraps off,"

Agnes Herbert TELLS Of Restoring =
Tiny Creature to lie Mother.
A native hunter In 9omaliland

The hunter had declared that 1t 1t

took the timorous creature across
my saddle-it seemed all struggling
legs and arms-and made for the
place, some two miles off, where he
first started the oryx.
I'VE set the baby down alone, so
fragile and small it looked, and then
hid ourselves in a great thorn-brake.
The little oryx did not wander far.
Sometimes 1t bleated a little ire

ing It's long legs beneath 1t, to rise
and wander, all lonely, among the low
thorn bushes. Two hours or more we
waited, and then a gentle whinny,
and almost before we realized 1t q
perfect oryx doe cantered toward
the fawn. She nosed it all over, and
her Joy expressed itself in every lima
ginable way. 1t was a beautiful and
pathetic sight. We made some move
