ALASKAN INDIANS ORIGINATED SOUTH
 SAYS SCIENTIST
NONE OF THE LEGENDS HEARD BY DR. sHoTRiDGE, REFERR-
 ED TO NORTH

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12. (P)-Al- aska Indians originated South around Puget Sound, and not from Siberia, Is the belief of Dr. Louis Shotridge, as- sistant in the American Section Mus cum of the University of Pennsylva- nia. Shotridge who Is member of the Chilkat Indian tribe, native to part of Alaska along the coast, returned from a five year expedition to Alaska and brought back many ancient ob- jects including war bonnets, ceremon- ial mats, and house screens some 800 years old.
 After studying the Indians in Alas ka for five years and living with them and listening to their legends, l came to the conclusion Alaska Indians came from the S0utn aTound ruseL 0ounu' do not believe the theory they came across a strip of land, now Boring Straits, because all Indian legends are from the South and I did not find any of the legends even alluded to the North" He believes the Chilkat and Navajo tribes are related as many of their words and language is similar.

These cars all have many miles

For a day or two Downy couldn't be

Never once did he see anything that

But Downy had Geyer seen Mr.. Black

Of course, Chatterer the Red, Squirrel

In fact, he got hack just as Mrs.
Downy returned. She whisked in

Uses of Extra Hair.

Some women dislike the idea of
wearing transformations or switches
and vet there are times when the
use OF extra hair is very desirable. In
fact there are at least two cases in
which it is necessary to supplement
ones own hair in order to have
becoming coiffure.,
Many girls and women are strug-
Cling with the problem of the coiffur-
ing of hair that was bobbed, but is
now being allowed to grow. Hair
that is neither long enough to do up
nor short enough to pass as bob
presents many serious difficulties to
the home hairdresser unless she uses
switch or q cluster of puffs to hide
the rough end at the back of her
neck.
This extra hair may, of course. he
discarded after ones own hair has
grown sufficiently long to arrange in
coil or twist. While the switches
are being used, however, they should
receive the same care that is given to
the growing hair. When the head is
shampooed the switches should also
be washed. They must be handled as
carefully as delicate silk goods, SO that
the hair will not become matted. The
