Dr. Ales Hrdlicka,, curator of phys ical anthropology, National Museum. left Washington for the West some days ago, and on May IS sailed from Seattla on his. fifth trip to Alaska. He will go directly to Kodiak, where he will spend the summed excavating an- cient village sites. These prehistoric. sites, he believes, were once inhabited by people who migrated across the ice from Asia and became the first human beings to set foot in North America. From these people descended the North American Indian and the Es- kimo. flater years, it is thought
 Dr. Hrdlicka will seek to confirm evidence found last year of a new art-a prehistoric culture which may link the two main. branches of migra- tors to North America. These two branches, both. originating in Asia, entered the continent by different routes and became separated. One, it is believed, came down the west coast of Alaska. while the other crossed Northern Canada and then moved southward. As these migrators de- veloped, they diverged, and until re- centl yit has heen thought they never came together until they merged in the region which is. now the United States. Dr. Hrdlicka believes, how ever, he has discovered a culture which reveals a connecting link be- tween the. two branches. It is to confirm this belief that he will study in Alaska this summer. Should fur ther study of this culture reveal a definite connection, Dr. Hrdlicka will have given to science new clue in the dark mystery of prehistoric North America

The bill that would give the Inter- for Department authority to receive competitive bids for coal needed by the Alaska Railroad and to award contracts to more than one operating company at the lowest bid had hear ing before the House committee on territories on May 9 The Depart ment favored the bill in the belief that the present methods would eventually result in monopoly, for if one company continua.v receives all railroad business competing mines must inc 5itably close or remain un- developed. Moreover, if surviving mine works out, the railroad and local communities would be left with out a source of supply of the certain grale of coal now i1 demand. The bill would also prove stimuus to in- duce companies to develop coal for sources other than the railroad, which would contribute to the development of the Territory. The bill was in- dorsed by Bartley Howard. The com mittee finally decided that sub committee should be appointed to fur ther consider the bill and make some changes in it.

In the revenue and taxation bill as it passed the House there was pro vision that coal imported into the United States and Alaska should be subject to tax of 10 cents per 100 pounds. When the Senate considered this bil on the night of Mag 20 there was persistent effort to cut out this tax on coal, but it failed by the close vote of 39 to 35, when Senator Walsh of Massachusetts chaiged his vote from nay to aye, making the result 39 to 34, in order to later move for a reconsideration. It is considered that a tax of $2 per ton on coal will prove on impetus to the greater mining of this fuel in Alaska.
 The Bureau of Indian Affairs, un der the directionn of Dr. Carson Ryan, Jr., is carrying on an attempt to encourage the production of ivory work among the natives of Alaska. This is being particularly handled by William Medley, of White Mountain. It is sought to have the work sand ardized and to be produced in regular quantities, so that ivory work of a definite pattern could be handled by firms like Bullock's in Los Angeles, Marshall Field in Chicago, and Wan amaker's in Philadelphia and New York.

MiIlers Assist
Low Rate Plea

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20. (U.P =
Efforts of three railroads to reduce
freight rates on grain and grain
products from Amarillo, Tex, and
other points to California were
given support today by Los Angeles
milling interests.
In the hearing being conducted
before examiners of the interstate
commerce commission. c. c. Con-
molly, traffic manager for Albers
Brothers Milling company; Y. Fl.
Sparrow, Great Western Mill and
Elevator company. Amarillo, and
M. H. Strohman of the Tex-o-Kan
Milling company of Dallas, Tex,
supported the plea for lower rates.
Such reductions would benefit
both the mill and poultry interests
here and the farmers in the area
affected, Connolly told the exam
liners.
The railroads seek rate Of SO
cents from Amarillo and nearby
points instead OF the present rate
of SO cents per 100 pounds. They
cited that rates from Dalhart, Tex,
are SO cents, while Amarillo ship
pers, so miles away, pay the higher
charges.

ATLAS MOUTAIN
NATIVES BATTLE
FRENCH SOLDIERS

RABAT, Morocco, Aug. 20. U,P
Along the upper slopes of the
Atlas Mountains French troops are
moving forward to bring the few
remaining outlaw tribes under
French control.
Although driven to the most re-
mote mountain fastnesses, a few
fierce Berber chieftains still defy
the French advance. The burn
ing sun. impossible mountain gull
lies and treacherous passes are
their allies.
Some of the best troops in the
French army are taking part in
the subjugation of the Atlas tribes.
They include General Girauds
corps. which recently closed in on
the fertile plateau of the Tafilalet
and took it by surprise without
struggle.
Weeks of geographical and to-
biographical study precede each
troop movement. When officers
and men are thoroughly familiar
with the ground they are to trav-
erse. an objective is set and the
order is given to advance.
During the day, the troops re-
main hidden under trees and in
rocky decliyities. The march starts
at twilight and is completed bT
fore dawn. Defenses are immedi-
ately erected to ward off the guer-
lilo attack which invariably fol-
lows.
Every day new chieftains sub
nit peaceably to the French rule
A few years ago they were power
full enough to cut communications,
kidnap Europeans and massacre
small bodies of troops.
When the present campaign Is
terminated, it is believed that all
Morocco will be pacified.

BRITISH OPEN
LARGEST RADIO
SHOW IN WORLD

LONDON, Aug. 20. W.P)-what
is claimed to be the worlds larg-
est radio exhibition. with displays
valued at S25 100000, opened here
today at the Olympia exposition
hall.
Fully 250,000 people are ex-
peeted to visit the show in the
eight days before it closes, with
special excursions from most of
the large provincial cities.
The exhibition incidentally Gel
ebrates the end of the first 10
years of British broadcasting. 1t
was in 1922 that six pioneer man.
ufacturerS pooled s250,000 to COM
mence the domestic broadcasting
system which, four years later,
passed under semi government
control. Radio in Britain today
is a S4o0, 100000 industry, en-
ploying a million people.
Delegates from IA broadcasting
nations are visiting the Olympia
exhibition to observe British radio
improvements and innovations.
The industry has increased its
turnover by so per cent in the last
u months on the strength of i'm
proved production and seryicing
methods.
Many of the novelties have been
kept secret. but it is known that
they include, among other things.
a new radio-television outfit, and
various refinements of the battery
sets which still are necessarily pop
ular in Britain because the diSGrib-
ution of electric current to the ma
tion's homes is far from complete.
The great exhibition is to be a
literal festival of music. The spa
cious National hall has been cleared
for all-day dancing to radio tunes,
and visitors are invited to partici-
pate without charge. There will be
continuous concerts in so sound
proof theatres, and equipment will
be on display at 300 separate
booths.
Weather will be unable to affect
the show. A color scheme of silver
and blue has been devised to sug-
gest coolness If the days are warm,
but if, on the contrary, there is a
nip in the air, floodlights will
transform the color plan to one of
crimson and gold, suggesting
warmth.
The exhibition will reopen on
September % in the city hall at
Manchester.
