NINE SMITHSONIAN
 EXPEDITIONS II SEEK
 KNOWLEDGE OF WORLD
INSTITUTION ENGAGED IN sciEN- TIFic RESEARCH NEAR AND
 FAR, DISTANT COUNTRIES

WASHINGTON, Aug. G. (P)-The Smithsonian Institution is engaged in a busy summer scientific research, with nine expeditions in various parts of the world. Their studies range from delving into the life of the early races in America to collection of min- ute sea mollusks and insects of the air.
 Two expeditions are analysing phases of ancient life of American Indians which have counterparts in modern times. One of these is trying to gain more knowledge of the League ofNthe Iroquois, the astounding organ ization of primitive people designed to do away with the shedding of hu-
 man blood for all time. The other seeks more light on the written lan-
 guage of the Fox Indians of Iowa,
 which is not unlike a distorted Eng fish alphabet.
 The League of Iroquois was formed l by five nations living in what is now New York State and Canada. The in stitution's workers have determined
 that the league was organized about 1870. They hope, by the end of this
 summer, to complete a study of it's inception and operation which has been in progress, under direction of J. N. B. Hewitt, since 1898.
 The life and civilization of early h. dians in Alaska and the Southwest are being investigated by four expedi- tions. One ehnologist Is attempting to trace a tribes migration from the lower Yukon to Arkansas and Ten nessee. Traces of the migration of prehistoric man from Asia into the North American continent are being sought by a group of scientists now on Nunivak, an isolated island on the edge of the Arctic Circle. In the Southwest, Dr. Neil H. Judd is com pleting study of the century old Pu- eblo Boniot, while another group is excavating the slab-houses of the Post-Basket Makers, Indians who an tedated the Pueblo dwellers, in south eastern Utah.
 F A study of small mollusks of the ocean. including the ship worm which causes damage amounting to millions |of dollars annually in the United States, is being conducted under the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator

MilliOn,D0llarS,a.Year Measure
Passes House

State Capitol. Hartford April 7 fP,
The bill appropriating 100000
annually from the receipts Of the
motor vehicle department for the
construction Of state aid roads was
adopted by the house today. The bill
was passed last week by the senate.
Attempts TO amend the bill and to
have it recommtted failed. The vote
was by reclamation.
Mr.. Clark OF Haddam. In explain
ing the bill called it a bill unsur-
passed this session as a center OF in
terest. l. substitutes average annual
taxation receipts for the grand list
as basis for state aid. fixing the av
erage annual tax receipts Of 100000
instead OF a grand list of sl,250,000
as the dividing line between towns
being reimbursed for seven-eighths
OF the cost from the state and those
receiving a return OF one-fourth OF
the cost.
The bill took the place OF a sub
stitute house bill, which appropriate
ed 100000 for state aid construc-
ton for the next two years.
In the senate the house subst-
tute was tabled on motion of Senator
Hall OF New Britain, chairman Of
the appropriation committee, who
later reported in the senate bill from
that committee to take the place OF
the tabled house measure.
Mr.. Lynch of Orange who sub
mitted the amendment OF the orig
inal dirt road bill when the house
was debating the matter before. de-
clared the bill up today had been
drawn with intent to beguile,"
The house had voted 100000
for construction Of roads in its gravel
road substitute. This bill, he said,
left no fund to reimburse towns
which had anticipated state aid
and an injunction could tie up the
entire fund. He moved the bill be
rccommitted.
Mr.. Averill charged Mr.. Lynch

gravel road proposition.

and the bill was adopted with no
audible opposition.
