Queer Japanese Race
Perplexes Scientists

Like a man who has lost his memo
ry and cannot explain to what family
he belongs or whence he came, the
mysterious Ainu race of northern
Japan continues to perplex and fasci.
nate scientists. How scientists have
been giving the Ainu blood tests. and
have studied their language and their
art, and have measured their heads
and bodies was reported to the Pan
Pacific Science Congress in Toxic.
The curves, spirals and loops shown
in the art OF the Ainu have been
studied by DR.. n. Utsurikawa, who
considers that the Ainu must have
gradually developed their ideas from
the new stone age art of Japan.
Measurements Of ITO living Ainu made
by DR.. George Montandon of Paris
have led him to the conclusion that
the Ainu are connected with the
ancestors of the white Eurasiatic race.
Blood group tests made by two doc
tors from the Kanazawa Medical
College revealed similarity to the
Senegal negroes, Sumatrans, Sumatra-
Chinese and Madagascans. But two
other scientists who studied the blood
group of other Ainu communities
found evidence to support the idea
that they are an "island race" A
scientist of Toxic Imperial University
who studied the language of these
strange people has reported that,
after all. the language of the Ainu
is quite isolated from their neighhors
all around, and forms a linguistic
island, so to speak. like their island
home"

Paleozoic period, when all life
existed only in the warm water
Of swamps. He says that
visitor to the world in those days
would have concluded that "life
was absolutely confined to the
water, and that it could never
spread over the land"
Doubtless the tadpoles and rep
tiles of that swampy era were
greatly concerned when they saw
some of their number crawling
out and growing legs and learn
ing to live in the air. Such fools
would certainly come to some
bad end. Far better to let we'll
enough alone. Life could never
be any better than it had been;
indeed, the indications were that
it was going to get steadily
worse.
Nevertheless, the hardy, hope
full ones crawIed out, and laid
the foundations of the Mesozoic
period and of all progress since
while the Paleozoics stayed
behind and stewed in their warm
water and fears.
There are Just two classes OF
US: the Paleozoics, who think
we are going to be lucky u
things don't get worse; and the
Mesozoics, who push ahead, as
Stunning that a better future lies
beyond--the believers and the
fearers, the Roger Pepyses who
ask for nothing but a good warm
cyclone cellar to crawl into.
BY birth or training, or the
state of your liver, you are IN
one class or the other and prob
ably cannot be changed. But if
you're a Paleozoic, don't expect
US Mesozoics to grow gray-haired
listening to your prophecies OF
ruin. The world has been tren'-
bling on the verge Of destruction
ever since the very first day.
And up to the minute of going
to press the crash was still COM
ing, but had not arrived.

What Are You-Paleozoic or Mesozoic?|
BY BRUCE BARTON

"HE other afternoon ] met
six pessimists in success
sion; and at the close of
u rainy day said to my
self: III better get away from
here-a couple Of hundred years
away" So picked up Pepys'
Diary.
Before I had read half dozen
pages, was startled. Except
for the quaint English and the
mention Of such antique curiosi-
ties as kings, queens, dukes and
lords, Pepys might have been
writing yesterday instead of
more than two hundred years
ago.
He said that Parliament was
about to investigate the depart
rnent of the government where
he worked, and he was very
worried. He said the nation was
in a bad way, business depressed
and men concerned about their
taxes. And on November 26,
1866, he made this intensely hu-
man entry:
"Into the House Of Parliament
where met :. .. with
my cozen Roger Pepys, the first
time | have spoke with him this
Parliament. Roger babe me help
him TO some good rich widow;
for he is resolved to go and re-
tire wholly into the country, for
he says he is confident we shall
all be ruined very speedily by
what he sees in the state
I'VE shall all be ruined very
speediIy!" Pick up the history
of any generation since the
world began and you find that
half the members of that gen.
GRAFTON went through life expect
ing ruin to be visited upon them
at any minute.
And the number of such folks
today is larger than ever before,
because there are more people.

AT the Corcoran Gallery of Art
- there is now to be seen a fascinat-

Visitors Find Sarajevo

Sarajevo is probably the most incon-

Europe. 1t lies deep in the Bosnian
Mountains. a hard "a hours by narrow.
gauge railway from the sea, an
equally hard day by bad automobile
road from Belgrade. And wandering
through this most casual and incon.
spicuous Of cities, one discovers what
is certainly its most inconspfcuous and
casual street corner.
A street car line loafs down to the
river; bridge crosses the river; at
the junction there is an open space.
A grocery store is on one side, bar.
Der shop on the other.
But all Sarajevo knows that spot.

T<HE Black and White Exhibition
by contemporary Italian artists,
organized by the Italian De-
i partment of Fine Arts and
shown under the auspices of
the Italy America Society, which
opened at the Arts Club week ago,
is an extremely interesting display
and one which well merits and re-
wards careful study and inspection.
Unfortunately. only a portion of the
collection can be hung because Of lack
of space. but a large number of pic
lures, contained in portfolios, may be
examined by those who are willing to
linger.
The general impression one gathers
from this exhibition is not only favor
able, but memorable. 1t is an impress
sion of strength and stability. The
artists who are represented have back
of them a great tradition and their
works show this influence. The Ital-
ians have always been great engrav-
ers, and in etching they for the most
