old CIVILIZATION
DISCUSSED IN n, Y.
Scientists Hear Of Prehistoric
Times on American Continent

New York. Sept. II LP-Two pre-
historic civilizations existed in the
western hemisphere and were not di-
rectly connected with each other. the
international congress of American
lists was told today.
Meets For Week
The congress is meeting here TO ra
week, attended b. delegates from a
score Of foreign nations. to discuss
the origins of American inha bitants
and compare notes on evidences that
they migrated from the old world
thousands of years ago.
The cultural relations of North
and South America We're traced
through archaeological remains by
Professor A. l.. Kroeber of the Uni
versity of California. The two civili-
zations. he said. were in Mexico
Guatemala" and in Peru. In the in
tervening regions he found evidences
areas, and said.
"The inference is that the cul-
tural peaks of Mexico and Peru
are on the whole not specifically in
terconnected but are localized de-
velopments, out OF a common cul-
/ tural soil. due to unusual density of
population. or possibly broader po-
litical organizations"
Professor Kroeber said that al
legged conceivable connection with
the eastern hemisphere does not
explain what is now known of
these two civilizations.
Culture From Asia
DR.. Max Uhle, of the Academy of
History. of Ecuador. said he believed
that the culture in these civilizations
is Of Asiatic origin.
He said that he believed Ameri-
can civilization originated in Central
America.
A feminist custom that came from
America, after Columbus day. was
described by DIR. Melville j. Herko-
Wit of Northwestern university,
Evanston. Ill. He and DIR. Morton c.
Kahn of Cornell university medical
college, spent this summer among
the bush negroes in Dutch Guiana,
South America. Their purpose was
to learn the amount of African ma
terial culture and ceremonial sur
viving in these South American
tribes.
1.-THE social organization of the
individual villages is partly African"
DIR. Herskovitz said. "A captain,
subordinates and female officer
are to be found In each village as
well as a council which finally de-
cides with regard to all their af-
fairs"
He found reminders of Africa in
dances, religion and carvings. These
bush negroes are descendants of
survivors of slaves from Africa, who
revolted against their Dutch masters
and took to the jungles. They have

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. G. A. i. Reed

VOUR baby. like yourself, has
i q protective outside layer to
its skin. But this layer. called
epitheliam, IL very soft and I'm.
resistant in the baby's skin a.
compared with the adult skin.
Every mother knows that the
baby's skin needs protection.
Doctors and welfare-clinic super
intendents are full of good advice
to young mothers about the care
of their babies, but are often quite
offhand on the subject of the
prevention Of chatting and other
minor ills of the skin. There 10
such q wide divergence Of opinion
on the value of busting powders,
oils and ointments that the young
mother Ii liable to become ex-
tremely confused. The ante-natal
clinic win tell her one thing. the
lying.in hospital another, and the
baby clinic q third.
The right care OF the Infants
skin Is q serious matter although
it is often thought to be Of minor
importance. Much OF the child's
comfort depends on the care given
to it's very delicate skin. Much of
the fretting, irritability, sleepless-
ness and inflammation attributed
by the mother to collie or teething
NAV be the result of faulty care
of the skin. II the skin IL cor
rectIy treated from birth the
usual result IL a normal, happy
infant.
The following are the con.
densed results of q QUESTIONABLE
sent by Coolidge (Archives OF
Paediatrics) to one thousand Spe.
cialists in child health, one thou
sand general practitioners, one
thousand hospitals and one thou
sand registered nurses all over
the United States:
Authorities are tending to use
more busting powder and, to q
lesser extent, more oils and ONT
ments. In other, words, they are
realizing that the infant should
get as careful external as he does
internal care. Oils and ointmentS
cannot replace busting powders.
One baby may tolerate oils AMI
ointments and another powder.
Neither method should he used
arbitrarily to the exclusion of all
others. Oils or ointments are
the better for premature infants
and for the first fortnight of the
life of an ordinary baby, or for
children suffering from certain
kinds Of malnutrition or from
some definite skin disorder that
REQUIRES oil or ointment.
For children over a fortnight
old with normal skins. busting
powder is generally better. The
reason Is that oil may prove too
heating, may soften the skin
unduly and cause an eruption, and
may retain moisture, collect dirt
and grow rancid in the skin folds.
1t may also tend toward general
irritation by spreading an existing
infection which might otherwise
have remained localized. The
mother regards 1t as a nuisance
because it soils clothing.
On the normal skin the proper
powder usually prevents or allays
friction. absorbs superfluous or
undesirable moisture. tends to pre-
vent infection or keep It localized.
