 The burials, first reported last year by a former missionary, were found from five to seven feet in a bank of the river.

SECRET OF UNKNOWN, ANCIENT RACE
 TO BE SOUGHT ON BANKS OF YUKON

present time, the earth is perpet- ually frozen beneath the two and one-half foot mark.
 Historic even before the days of the gold rush, the Yukon may have been the devious avenue travelled by an ancient Asiatic people into North America.
 A second object will be the ex- cavation, as far as the river may permit, of the old site in the bank at Bonasila. Human remains, un- like those of the present Yukon Indian, have been found. accom- panied by semi-fossilized bones of animals, good many of which no longer live in the region.
 Another object will be to explore briefly the sites of six or seven dead villages on the Shageluk slough. They were, according to early Rus sian accounts, of considerable inn portance.
 More than 2,000 miles of the jour- ney will have to be made in small boats

SCHOOL BOARD BANS
 TRK TEACHERS UNION

CHICAGO, July 1.-The right of school boards to prescribe a curfew for teachers, determine the length of their skirts, ban cigarets, danc- ing and bridge, will be assailed lustily at the convention of the American federation of teachers in Chicago, beginning today and end ing next Saturday.
 Delegates likewise will attack the policy of school trustees to separ- ate women from the payroll when they acquire a wedding ring
 Tt certainly is a joke that wom- en employed in the very profess sion that seeks to dispel ignorance, prejudice, and raise life's stand ards, should need emancipating, " observed Mrs. Florence Curtis Han son of Chicago, national executive secretary, but they certainly do.
 Chambers of commerce don't prattle that marriage lessens the girl stenographer's proficiency when she is Mrs instead of Miss Why then the attitude that matrimony decreases a woman's value as a teacher?"
 Many of this years resolutions will deal with the principles of academic freedom" an outgrowth of the query, Are teachers peo- ple?" propounded by the federa- tion.
 These resolutions will tell the world and school boards that a teacher ought to be permitted to stay up as late as she likes, write fan letters to movie heroes, wear unfastened galoshes and get mar ried if she wants to.
 Mrs. Hanson said it is expected that the Brookwood Labor College of Kendona, N. Y, which was de- nounced by the American Fedora tion of Labor as a radical school spreading communist propaganda, will be discussed. Teachers at th3 Brookwood college are members of the teachers federation, and the federation is a member of the American Federation of Labor.
