GRAVEYARD RELICS
HERE FROM ALASKA
Henry B. Collins Returns
With Skeletons Found in
Northern Tombs.

Approximately SO complete skeletons
and 200 skulls taken from deserted
grayeyards have been brought to
Washington by Henry B. Collins OF
the National Museum after a Summer
of anthropological exploration in
Alaska.
Mr.. Collins covered approximately
400 miles OF the desolate, sparsely in
habited western coast from Bristow
Bay to Hooper Bay. He centered his
activities, however. on Nuniavak
Island, the second largest body of
land in the Bering Sea where the
conditions hardly to be found else.
where under the American flag.
Life Is Little Known.
Hitherto the life of these people has
been little known. Only four years
ago the first white teachers came
among them, after an influenza epi-
demic had almost depopulated some of
the villages of adults. Along the
whole coast covered by Mr.. Collins
there are hardly a dozen white men
and the Eskimo villages are far apart.
The people, he found, were almost
unaffected by white culture. Both men
and women still wear elaborate
labrettes1 of beads and ivory stuck
through their lower lip and observe
the religious customs of their ances.
tors.
Among the most curious of these
customs is that which causes all the
men of a village to leave their wives
during the sealing season and live
together for approximately five months
in a community house. They take the
little boys with them, prepare their
own food, and will allow no female
to come near them until the hunting
season is over. The women, mean.
while, group together in a few of the
houses and lead communal life of
their own. During the rest Of the
year four or five families live to-
gether in one house. The origin of
the custom is obscure. but is con-
nected in some way with the legends
connected with the seal-their chief
source of food and clothing.
Experts With Old Weapon.
These Eskimos are experts in the
use of the throwing board, primitive
weapon which, in the opinion of some
ethnologists. antedates the bow and
arrow. This weapon, carved out Of
wood, looks much life an old-fash-
ioned dueling pistol cut in half

the hollow groove, its head resting at
the end of the barrel. From this con.
trivance the native throws the arrow
with deadly accuracy. Actually the
device serves to make the arm about a
foot longer.
These Bering Sea islanders, says
Mr.. Collins, are an extremely peaceful
and friendly people who live under
very squalid conditions. They drink
great quantities Of native beverage
known as "Beewack," which is fer.
mented from sour bread dough and
which makes them gloriously drunk
Their houses are partly subterranean
with a superstructure Of driftwood
There is no timber in the country
only fat, desolate tundra which Is al
most impenetrable in Summer. Only
the children speak English.
These Eskimos have developed q
rather high culture of sort and some
Of their carvings on ivory are real
works Of art. They also weave splen
did baskets from the native grasses
One of their table delicacies Is seaweed
covered with herring eggs.
Mr.. Collins took anthropological
measurements of approximately 12s
of the islanders.

 So they stayed there all the after noon. but he did not come. At 4 o'clock they ordered tea and sand wiches and little cakes, which ncith- CT of them wanted or touched.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS EJSHBEiN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygcia
 the Health Magazine

A recent investigation of the req sons for lying by children indicates that the greatest cause is fear: sec ond, a lively inauguration: third fantasy and the desire for mimicry: fourth. weakness of will.
 A parent who is interested in con- trolling lying must be able 10 dis tinguish from conscious and deliher- ate deception for definite purpose and the lie that is merely told as d form of play.
 Parents should remember that prevention is better than cure and that they always should be careful to be truthful themselves before the child.
 Punishment
 It is not wise to cHaggcratc the importance of lying in the child's imagination by too severe a punish ment or by excessive questioning to get at the truth. The child will un- der such circumstances attach far too much seriousness to the possi bilities of what may be plished
