NEW HAVEN, Conn. Fos. L.
Edward Moffatt Weyer, anthrc-
pologist for the Stoll-MCbcraeke
expedition which explored the
Arctic last summer on the schoon-
er Effie Morrissey, last night de-
scribed the discovery in Alaska
Of the buried prehistoric villages
which yielded hundreds of relics
new to science.
Talking before the Yale Anthro-
pology Club, Weyer described AL
aska as the probable gat e way
through which passed the early
Asiatic immigrants and where the
first scene in human history OF
America took place.
Find Mummios
For one month Weyer and two
companions were encamDed on the
site of the ancient village on the
Alaska Peninsula. During IL days
of this period, with provisions for
only four days, the group was iso-
lated by storms, digging clans
from the mud flats.
On the almost inaccessible sum

cation.

Weyer told the audience that the
American continent is younger
with regard TO human occupation
than the eastern hemisphere. He
said the very first immigrants
we're forerunners of the American

from Asia thus to Alaska which
lies closer to Asia than any other
part of America. Alaska is prob

which q genial smile set oddly
staggered into the room, his sur
prisingly falsetto greeting accom-
panying an enormous hand thrust
out toward the detective in charge

of Henry P Borden:

bumped off, and that you was anX-
ious to have chat with me. Any

don't need me after all, Capt." he
broke off to exclaim when, on reach
ing Borden's desk and shaking
hands with McMann, he got a view
of the face of the woman whose
back had been turned toward him
as he entered the room. "So--you
got him, did you? Minute my back
was turned"
Just moment, Baileyp' McMann
interrupted sharply. "You identify
this woman?"
Sure know her! Harry pointed
her out to me not a week after he
took me on to look after him. Jake,
he says, take a good look at that
woman and don't let her get any
nearer to me than she is now, or
you'll lose your job, jake he says"

Mann interrupted impatiently.
''Now-lemme see!" Jake Bailey
