WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-tP)-Un-
usually clear evidence Of the effects
Ct surroundings and associations in
shaping the development Of peoples
over long periods has been brought
back to the bureau Of American Eth
nology by ]. p. Harrington after a
summer Of investigation among the
Indians Of the southwest.
Harrington has devoted several
years to intensive study of the sur
viving groups Of primitive Indians
in that region, which was the prom
ised land" Of their ancestors and, be-
fore the white man came, supported a
larger native population than any
other section of the continent. HIS
hope is to obtain a comprehensive
record Of the native languages, cul-
lures and histories before death re-
moves the few remaining, rapidly
aging Indians who can furnish the IN
formation.
Studying III exceptionally primitive
generations in the Taos ~pueblos IN
the heart Of the Rocky Mountains
about 60 miles north Of Santa re,
n. NJ, he discovered this summer that
their language Is Enthusiastically re-
lated genetically TO that or the
Kiowas of Oklahoma. These tribes
which are the same size with about
900 members each, have widely d.
vergent cultures, but he is convinced
that they are descendants from the
same ancient stock.
1.-THE Kiowas," he relates, have
throughout historical times followed
che customs Of the Indians Of the
Great Plains, hunting buffalos, using
skin tepees, and practicing the re-
ligion OF the wandering prairie In
dams. But they originally came from
what Is now Montana, and may at an
earlier time have lived in Canada
"The Taos Indians. who speak the
same language, lived by raising corn
and beans. made permanent villages
Of mud houses and followed the re-
livion of the New Mexico Indians,
which is very different from that OF
the prairie tribes.
ave therefore have, in the COM
parison Of the Kiowa and Taos tribes,
a fine example Of how contact and
association, if carried on long enough,
make the man or tribe. In this IN
stance. IL IL bad not been for the
retention Of the old language, IT
might never have been known that
these tribes are in part descended
form the same people and have taken
on their peculiar cultures because
of separate histories and surround
ings.
"Similar developments can be
pointed to in the Old World and else
where. but nowhere more strikingly

Morrow Winning
Fame With Ham,
Egg Breakfas

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 15.-(R-Ham
and eggs diplomacy goes marching on
successfully in Mexico M Dwight w.
Morrow rounds out his first year NJ
American ambassador.
During that year he has ended,
as an international issue, the long
vexing and sometimes threatening
old controversy. Seemingly, he has
paved the way for gradual adjust
ment Of the land question, in the
sense of its adverse effect upon IN
dividual American interests. he
has brought about an era Of good
will. Acting in n purely private
capacity, he once had the religious
question approaching a modus vi
vendi between the Mexican gov
eminent and the Catholic church.
Untoward circumstances interven-
ed and the prospect was not realized.
Morrow's good offices rs an indl-
vidual, not as ambassador, are stu
being exercised and persons IN toucn
with the situation have not aban-
doned hope Of an improvement
When Morrow reached Mexico, DC
tober 20, 1927. the relations of the
two governments were not the best
and had been, during preceding years,
sometimes strained and nov and then
acutely so. Morrow has succeeded IN
substituting the friendliest relations
the countries have known for many
years.
He has done this without writing
a note. Morrow's year in Mexico Is
one Of the few periods in history,
and the only twelve-month in decades
devoid of q single note from n gov
eminent to the other over some seri-
Gus issue or general question Of pol
icy. Notes are sent almost every day
over routine matters Of business. But
Morrow has sent no notes involving
general important questions of rela-
tons. His method has been personal
discussion with the man running
Mexico. made possible by his friend
~ contact with that man, President
Gales. IL seems he will have similar
relations with Emilio Portes Gil, pro-
visional president elect, who will sue
coed Gales November 80. And. of
course. he will lcontinue to be q friend
Of Gales. who will remain in Mexico
City after he leaves the presidency
and who. in or out of office, will be
a powerful figure in Mexican affairs.
Morrow began his goodwill work
al a ham and egge breakfast with
President Gales at the latter's ranch,
near Mexico City, less than a year
ago.

General Motors Gives
Large Cash Dividend;
Follows Hoover Vote

General Motors corporation yester-
day, evidently feeling assured from
the election of Hoover that hog prof
its would be guaranteed for some
time to come, declared not only the
regular quarterly dividend of $1.25
a share on common stock, but an
extra dividend of $3.50 a share in
addition.
Further, the directors authorized
stock split. The stockholders will
be asked to ratify a change in the
par value of the stock, which is now
$25. AS the directors do not wish
to change the capitalization of the
company, it is expected that the par
will be lowered to $40.
On this new stock, the General
Motors Company statement said that
there would be an annual dividend
basis of SO. "The directors feel that
the condition of the corporation is
such that it is prudent to look for
ward to this contemplated increase
in dividends"
Today's profit payments sets
new record for General Motors which
has reputation of paying out about
60 per cent of its net income to it's
common stockholders. In the first
nine months of this year, net profits
were S13.42 share, compared to
S12.99 share for the whole year of
1927, itself a record year.
