 PAINTINGS AND MOVIES
 A very valuable collection of water colors, painted by an Es- kimo woman on St. Lawrence Is land, were purchased; these de- pict the life of the tribe.
 A series of moving pictures showing the many ceremonies, worshiping and idols, all in de- tail, were obtained. The Eskimos on this island are so-called moon Worshipers. The old superstitions are still clung to by the old folks

Small land mammals were col lected. Baby seals have been sent three Arctic white fox and three baby WalruS and sealions. These latter will be in group mountings.
 Several species of fish, pre- served in alcohol, were procured in Boring Sea, and the insect life is fairly we'll represented. The collecting of these were a side issue as Mr. Geist carried on this work to fill in odd time.

PREHISTORIC MIGRATION

A new light as to the migra- ton of prehistoric races was dis covered by Mr. Geist in exca- vations last year on the island. Implements such as axes made of granite which very greatly .resembled the work of the North American Indian, were dug up The Eskimos of the island know of no legend dating bac kany- where near that age but the dis covery throws, perhaps, an en- tirely new light on progress of mankind from Asia to North America. The scroll work on cul- tural implements are represent ed by severay well preserved spe- cimens. The scroll work is the handiwork of real artists, MT. GeiSt added

 He admitted. however, that if the proposed Canal "were to be used exclusively for the exportation of wheat and four" the St. Lawrence route is superior" but he argued that "unfortunately water traffic cannot succeed on a one-way basis" and that within a very short time the United States will disappear as a wheat exporter" because Great Britain will prefer to import Cana dian wheat almost exclusively.

Senator Copeland, democrat, New York, in an address before the National Rivers and Har- bors Congress yesterday said that "sclfish interests who favored the St Lawrence route were seeking to corral the water power resources of the country"
 The New York senator advocated development of the So-called all American" route through New York state to the Hudson river and thence to the ocean.
 Water Power Scheme
 Frankly" he told the congress. T regard the St. Lawrence water way as a Water-power scheme. The navigation feature is merely inCidcn- tai to hydro electric development
 Copeland said the St. Lawrence waterway, approved by wheat grow CTS of the west, was "out of the question:"
 Tt does not compare in value to the United States with the so-called all- American canal" he continued "The latter is capable of accom- plishing for the great lakes and the west all that the St. Lawrence can give.'
 He added that the latter route would run to an American port carry domestic freight to and from the Atlantic seaboard, give the man. ufacturers and farmers of the west access to Central and South America the Panama Canal, the West Coast of Africa and the entrance to the

Diamond Cutters to
 Accept New Scheme

Brussels, Dec. 12 GP-The 2,500 workers in the diamond industry in Antwerp and neighboring localities have accepted a recent decision of the Diamond Cutters syndicate to cease work completely for two weeks of every month until the diamond markets complete recovery.
 All diamond plants have come 10 a standstill since Tuesday, which means a loss of $450,000 salary monthly to the employees, of whom only 15,O00 receive a regular relief payment from their unions. An emergency fund was instituted. how ever, to pay special allowances to the most needy among the non-union workers.
