PRE- HUMAN HABITS
 OF INFANTS STUDIED
 BY ANTHROPOLOCIST
By COLEMAN 3. JONES

 Associated Press Science EditonJ
 WASHINGTON. April 12-Look at the littie Goggie'
 Little bear!
 The little savage,
 Such exclamations, drawn from fond mothers and pleasant callers by the behavior of young children. have a deep significance 10 Dr. Ales Hrdlicka. noted anthropol ogist of the Smithsonian lnstitu- tion
 Along with his major stedies Of the American Indian and other ab- original races he has been gather ing data for years on manifesto. tions of the survival of pre-human habits in the children of civilized and uneiTilized families Many re- ports have come to him from mothers, fathers and missionaries ill all parts of the world. and he hopes 10 have enough evidence of this kind soon to warrant a book on the subject.
 Nearly all of the cases reported have to do with children between birth and two years of age. and the most frequent manifestation of pre-human habit seems to be the natural adoption of the quad fuped mode of loeomotion With one exception, he says, these quadruped youngsters have been above the average in health and even in mentality.
 Instead of creeping. or crawl ing, before they take an upright position. they seamper about on all fours. with the knees usually bent slightly and their hands and feet firmly on the ground. They move much faster than their more usual cousins who crawl about on hands and knees. and, Dr. Hrd- licka remarks, ii is evidently the easiest and most fit mode of loco motion to them at this time of their muscular, ligamentous and skeletal development
 Tt would seem," he adds that there must be in these cases all additional factor. usually dormant. connected with the nervous sys- tenn. Such a dormant impulse may perhaps be aroused accidentally by some chance trial, but il ia more likely that in instances this impulse is stronger than in the general run of infants, resulting in the quadruped progression.'
 Other types of pre-human be- havior brought to the attention of Dr. IIrdlicka are equally striking but perhaps less frequent than thu running on all fonrs. One little American girl early began to climb

sition than 10 expose the less pro. tected stomach. Sometimes, too. infants whose bottles are too heavy for their arms bring up their feet to support them, much as young bears and kittens do. Dr. Hrdlieka has photograph showing a baby in this position and another of a kitten holding nursing bottle in exactly the same posture.
 Just where the study will lead in the way of conclusions he is not ready to predict, but it is plain, he says, that there are many curious and highly inter- esting manifestations in the be- havior of the young child with which science is not sufficiently acquainted. A remarkable feature is the fact that the peculiarities of behavior that are seemingly Of atavistic nature, he asserts, do not occur in defective or subnor- nal but rather in the physically as well as mentally superior chil- dren.
 'The intelligent mother, rather than the father or even the doe tor he says. may render a great aid to science by reporting care full and detailed observations

NEW VARIETY SHOP
 OPENS TO PUBLIC
 SATURDAY MORNING

Opening Saturday with com plete variety line of goods, Kanns Variety Store will be ready for business at 10 a. III. Saturday, at it's home on Seward Street, l.. kann, proprietor. announced to- day.
 Although variety stores are not new to Juneau, the system under which the shop is To he operated is different than now used here. As in the big stores i'll the States. everything in stock will be on dis play and plainly marked in price. The use of numerous glass parti- tions on the counters. giving each class of articles a separate booth, is the feature of this system.
 Several weeks ago MT. Kann began the remodeling of the space which his store is to occupy. Two small offices in the building were made into one large room for the store. and renovation made things like new.
 Dry goods, novelties and num- erous other articles will he on sale with the opening of the shop. Mir Kann expects large ship ment on the steamer Alameda, and more later in the month. Much of his stock is imported  through a firm with which he wa5 associated for some years prior 10 his coming to Juneau.

Tomorrow will be the second Friday. the Thirteenth. to oseuf in 1928. The first was in Jauu- ary and the next one will be in Jnly All who believe in super sfilions. and many who claim not to, will exercise particular care and caution upon these days. as Friday, unlucky in itself. accord ing to tradition. is deubly cursed when il falls upon the thirteenth of the month
 The ill-luck associated with Fri. day is thought to have originated with its association with the Cru eifixion, as the ancient scandi- nayian peoples thought of Friday as the lueklest day in the week. Certainly t is that in England in the past Friday was known as Hangman's day and often today hangings take place on Friday.

FALLING ROOF LEADS
 AS HAZARD IN MINES

WASHINGTON, April 12-It is not the sudden, terrifying, spec tacular explosion which kills most of the miners who lose their lives in accidents. but the more prosaic falling of parts of the roof of the underground passages in which they work
 The latest complete compilation of mine fatalities in the United States discloses that out Of 2,605 deaths in 1925. more than 1.2a0 were caused by roof falls. With this situation clearly pointing D the mine roof as the greatest sin gle safety problem in the indus try. the bureau of mines is con- dueting special investigation un- der specific appropriation from congress in an attempt to reduce the hazard.
 The investigation includes a study of methods of mining as they affect roof action, methods of roof support, methods for testing l the soundness of the roof, and state laws and local regulations as they affect the exercise of pre-. cautions.
 The work was begun in the coal mines of West Virginia. with the cooperation of the state depart ment of mines. After one wear ot this co cooperative effort, it was found that the number of fatali- ties from roof falls had been largely reduced in comparison with previous years while the pro auction of coal had been material ly increased.
