Vets and Drys in Congress.
(NeW York World.)

Looking ahead to the fall elections, the Meth odist Board of Temperance is generous enough to admit that apparently "the present overwhelming dry majority in Congress will be slightly reduced y It is also generous enough to admit that at the present time this majority "s probably larger than the sentiment in the various districts would justify The Hoover landslide in 1928 brought into Con- gress some dry Republicans from districts normally Democratic and where the Democratic Party is wet The Board reason to fear, however, that the drys will lose more than a comparatively small number of seats that the authority of the friends of Prohibition will be seriously shaken
 No doubt the Hoover landslide is in part re- sponsble for dry majority larger than the sen- timent in the various districts would justify" A far more fundamental factor however, is the man. ner in which seats in Congress distributed among the States and within the States. For ten years Congress has chosen to nullify basic article of the Constitution rather than reapportion seats on the basis of the 1920 The chief reason for this reluctance has been the fear that reap portionment would increase the city vote. Mean time, the apporonment of seats within the States, as well as among the States, is so contrived as to give the rural sections representation in Congress out of all proportion to their population In Illinois, for example, Cook County has Representative in State has Representative for every 5000 people It takes three people in Cook County to equal two outside. Approximately the conditions exist in all populous industrial States Due to the fact that the reulSJrlDutOn or seats mas Ialieu to keep pace with population changes, the city vote, which is the wet vote is preposerously under on the floor of Congress. Until this fundamental
 injustice to the cities is corrected the makeup of Congress will reflect fairly the division of opinion on any question which like Prohibition, in- wolves a disagreement between rural and urban sections of the country. Meanwhile, the vets can gain a number of seats in Congress and will gain those seats as rapidly as the cause of repeal quires organization and effective leadership.
 For the present a majority of Congress will remain dry, but it's dryness is likely to mean no more in the future than it has in the past. Time and again the Methodist Board has appealed to this same top-heavy dry majority to take effective action to enforce the law yet the law has never been enforced. The dry majority in Congress is ready to pay lip service to the of Pro- hibton and let it go at that

VERY OLD RED WOOD LOG.

piece of 7-foot tree estimated to be 12,0o0,- 900 years old, which found 150 feet below the bed of the Yakima River in Washington, has been Identified by Arthur Koehler wood Identification expert of the United States Forest Products Labora tory, species of Sequoia.
 This ancient wood taken from log en- countered when United States Reclamation Service tunnel being driven under the river and was in solid basalt believed to have been poured out of one of the Columbia Plateau volcanoes 12,O00 O0o years ago
 "The wood is too friabe to be sliced thin for microscopic examination MT. Koehler says, but examination of the whole piece with a hand Tense leaves no doubt of its close kinship with Sequoia sempervirens, the red wood of today.
 The redwoods have not always been confined to a narrow strip in California, but throve at one time throughout what is the United States Canada, Alaska Greenland, Europe and Northern Asia Fossil Sequoia cones were found in rocks and swamp deposits in Europe in the nineteenth century before the only living representatives o the species were known to the white man"

ALASKA INDIANS IN LIMELIGHT.

Alaska Indians have reason to be thankful to the Federal Government. Their present and future are secure Provided with schools and hospitals, Northern natives be confident that the mental and physical development in progress now will be continued indefinitely. They are promised more They may be the heirs of a glorious past.
 Skeletons of 100 Alaska Indians have been sent to the Smithsonian Institution for examination and study They were collected by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the archaeological division of the Am erican Museum of Natural History When clothed in the flesh he believes they were representatives of an Arctic of remote antiquity Abor- ignes of day long since gone are no strangers to the doctor They have been subjects of research by him in every part of the continent for more than score of years.
 The origin of the Indian intrigues science By some savants he is believed to be indigenous to several of the countries where he has been found by white men. By other scholars, his source is ascrbed to Australia and the South Sea Islands, natives of which have many characteristics in com- mon with the aborignes of South America. In the opinion of other investigators he had his beginning in India and China, crossed the Boring Straits into Alaska, gradually migrated south and finally peo- pied in a sparsely way all of the American con- tinent.
 The Boring Straits theory prompted Dr. Hrdlicka to gather the Alaska skeletons. It may be substan- tiateds by tl1enfs The idea is reasonable. ResefnA blances between natives of the Arctic and those in this part of the Territory plainly discernibe and between the latter and those of the States of the North Pacific Coast there is greater degree of likeness than of difference When the coast aborigine left his and crossed the mountains, he straddled horse, which accounts for the long legged snewy- framed warrior of the plains.
 The genesis of the Indian, like that of humanity in general may be definitely ascertained; but if the truth is established it is likely not to advance the Alaska native to the fore front of his racial kind. In any event, he may rest assured a considerate government is doing every thing possible to protect his chance for prehistoric eminence.

BIG FOREIGNERS FOR THE PRIZE
 RING.

Primo Camera, sometimes called Canary" and sometimes appropriately the "Ambing Alp" the 65-pound Italian boy who is over in the United States menacing the heavyweight pugilistic cham ponsfiip is either having great line of luck or he is a real danger signal for those who would like to keep the big fighting belt an Irish Slavic Jewish or some other sort of an American. He is winning battle after battle and is willing to fight at the drop of a hat He is, apparently always ready and the higher they rate the better he seems to like them. He is regular one, two fighter-that is he puts them to sleep in the first or second round.
 The phenomenal success of the big Alp has sent managers and would-be managers scurrying to Eur ope looking for big to battle in the squared circle.
 The New York World comes to the front with a suggestion that the managers ought to go te Japan and try to make boxer out of one or more of her giant wrestlers. It thinks Nippon offers opportunities that likely of fruition thar the search for a Perambuating Pyrenne Cawine Caucasus or an Appetizing Apennine. Speaking oi

A "Padre of the Craters."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) )

Everybody has heard of Father Jerome Ricard, Santa Clara Universty's Padre of the Rains ' whose studies of sunspots and weather have added so much to scientific knowledge of solar influence upon terrestrial storms.
 Now the world will hear of the Rev. Bernard lJ. Hubbard of the schools geological de- lpartment.
 Father Hubbard recently passed through Seattle lon his way to New York with 1000 photographs and many rolls of films which he made this sum- mer in hitherto unexplored craters in Alaska.
 Alaska is of the richest fields of nvestiga- ton for the geologist and volcanologst, and the Padre of the Craters" has completed his second lseason of study there. All of us sit with more or less nonchaance upon craters economic, political, social and personal. That which cannot be seen does not appear dan- lgerous and few of see. But earth's physical safety valves are terrfy- ing, inspiring the which always follows upon demonstration of tremendous and uncomfortable natural forces
 l Those who study these manifestations must be equipped with physical stamina and high order
 of courage. If their studies are to reveal anything
 worth while, they must also possess scientific at
 tanments.
 Father Hubbard and his companions had these. | Just what their investigations revealed of scien-
 tific value is something which they must work out
 while we watch craters to keep them from
 boiling over.

he Japs, whom it regards as the best bet, Jew York paper says:
 This is the race of giant wrestlers that can make their living in the various cities of Japan. We are told that these gentlemen are bigger, stronger and more ferocious than any Alp, Pyrenee, Caucasus or Apen- nine that has come to light so far. We are not quite sure which of the Japanese strains has bred these wrestlers, although we have impression that it is the Hairy Ainu, race inhabting the Island of Yezzo and cele- brated in the Orient for its gorilla-lke appearance. But this is not important. Why not import few of them to have try at the title? Of course, as things stand they wrestlers, but for a consd- eration they might be induced to become boxers, or at any rate to say they had be- come boxers. They would be a pleasing novelty and we at least prepared to believe that they could break any of the current contenders in two
