incident draws attention to the re-
markable growth of this breed and
it brings to light the story of a
South Carolina man who placed his
faith in dairying and has been most
successful in building up an out
standing purebread herd from a
very modest beginning.
The "millionth Jersey, as it hap

hClifto, S. c., who started a Jersey
herd in 1921 with the purchase of
one purebread heifer. From this
small start he has built up a fine
herd which is attracting much at
tention in the South, for Mr..
Wright has followed along lines
which insure constant improvement
in both .prodpctiOn and type. The
original foundation heifer has drop

given Mr.. Wright six calves, while

 of complete extinction, says Herbert w. Krieger, who has just returned from the Yukon, where he conducted investigations for the Smithsonian In- stitution at Washington. A statement recently issued conveys the news that the language, beliefs, traditions and primitive customs of the Alaskan h. dians are rapidly fading out of exis- tence-forgetten by younger genera tions that have come in contact with the current of modern life and are adopting modern ways.
 "Mr. Krieger," says the Smithso- nian Institutions report, found that the younger Indians have become thor oughly Americanized."
 Not many years ago as time is reck- oned historically the tribes of Alas ka lived life effectively cut off from the rest of the world. The natives of the icebound land knew nothing about the world except to the extent that ancient tales perhaps revealed it-in the usual fantastic form of race leg ends. They had a culture of their own, such as 1t was, and the typical Indian religion in which multiple spir- it's were seen ruling the universe. There were elaborate ceremonials de- signed to propitiate these spirits, so that members of the tribe might en- joy successful hunting and fishing and might be protected against all evil. They dealt in magic, after their fashion.
 But at length, we are told, they have forgotten their own magic and their tribal folklore. Only the old people remember these things, and if they are to be preserved these old people must be interviewed before they die." Radio and moving pictures and the accounts that come to them of exploits in aviation are proving, for the present citizens of the snow lands, more expressing than the mira cles of old
 MT. Krieger believes that any ar chaeologica1 evidences of ancient man that may exist in the interior of Alas ka are going to be hard to unearth.
