ST. LOUIS, Dec, 10, P)-Altho the Eskimos of Baffin Island and Greenland are very susceptible to the common cold and other infec- tions of the upper respiratory tract and live in a climate which might be expected to foster such condl- tions, they apparently never are at tackled by these diseases except when they come in contact with the less frigid outside world.
 This point is emphasized in a paper by Dr. Peter Heinbecker, fel- low of the National Research Coun- cil of medicine at Washington Uni- versity, who was a member ot the American Museum of National His tory n 1926 and of the Putnam Baf- fin Island expedition last year, in collaboration with Dr. Edith l.
