Culture Related to That Of
Moyds, A=tecs and Incds
Found on Alaskan Island.
TOR many years, Psychologists
L have studied the marvellous In
dian civilization of the Mayas, the
IncaS. and the Aztecs.
There is exceptional interest.
therefore, in the announcement OF
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, famous anthrop-
ologist Of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, that he has found evidence OF
a culture related to these famous
Indian civilizations on Kodiak is
land, just south of the Alaska
peninsula.
For a number of years, DR..
HrdHcka has been carrying on
studies in Alaska to prove his con-
tention that the American Indian
entered this continent from Siberia
some $4,000 years ago by way Of
Alaska.
DR.. Hrdlicka is of the opinion
that the Kodiak island remains may
prove to be the oldest upon the
American continent.
So far he has found various
weapons and objects of art upon
the site of an ancient village.
He believes, however, that the
surface only has been scratched and
that further excavations will reveal
objects of great interest.
He says that some of the art OBJ
jectS found to date bear striking re-
SemblanceS to the art which later
developed in Central America and
in Yucatan.

Across Bering Strait

THE probability, according to DR..
Il Hrdlicka, is that the original
migrants of the Mongoloid stock
from Siberia brought across Bering
strait to the coast of Alaska cultures
which we're developed highly IN
some lines.
They pushed their way south
ward, across the narrow Alaska
peninsula. to Kodiak island, Cooks
inlet, and thence to the coast OF
what is now British Columbia" he
says. Then they pressed, according
to all indications, southwark to
Mexico and Central and South
America.
only during the latter parts OF
this process, divergent bands have
gone eastward, over the mountains,
becoming the ancestors of the great
body of North American Indians.
During this prolonged migration,
which lasted for several thousand
years, some of the culture elements
brought originally from Asia de-
Perforated or were given up, as the

new environments.
When they arrived in an envir-
onment favorable for cultural de-
velopment, however, they were able
to revive and improve upon these
old elements.
1T is noteworthy how close are
the parallels Of the Kodiak island
remains with the cultures of the
northwest coast Indians.
Kodiak island was a thickly
populated center in the distant past.
Every favorable part of it is COW
cred with buried village sites.
1.-The largest thus far encoun-
tered covers more than forty acres.
1t appears to have been the metrop-
oils of this Arctic culture"

A Stupid Course

nUR government has been stupid
~ and short-Sighted enough in
its attitude toward Russia without
reading strained meaning into any
section Of the absurd tariff law.
The wonder is that we have any
Russian trade left. We wouldn't if
a most unfortunate economic situa-
ton hadn't placed Russia, as we'll
as some other nations, virtually at
our feet.
We still are favored by the effects
OF war, though one never would
guess it to hear some people talk.
Much that We have gained is a
matter OF good luck, while most that
we have lost is a matter of our own
folly.

o. March a. 1882 just fifty
~ years ago, Robert Koch, the
famous German medical investiga-
tor, announced before a physio-
logical society the discovery of the
germ that causes tuberculosis.
Announcement of that discovery
represented the beginning of the
control of this disease, once called
captain of the men of death"
Since that time the death rate
for tuberculosis has been reduced
more than one-half. With the ap-
plication of all knowledge that we
possess today to every case of tu-
berculosis, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that the death rate again
could be cut in two.
However, modern economic con-
ditions are such that it is not SIM
pie to apply scientific knowledge in
every instance.

More than 1000 German shock

machine gun fire.

Secondhand knowledge

a ND SO he must get his informa-
4 Ation diluted and secondhand.
His only recourse is to say to Mr..
Wickersham: Here, George, is an
appropriation. Would you mind
running around the corner and
finding out for me what infringe
ment is like?"
Naturally, Mr.. Wickersham goes,
but he doesn't come back for
months, and when he returns the
findings are set down in hundreds
and hundreds of pages of printed
matter.
You can't expect busy President
to wade through all that. Nat
urally, he turns to one of his secre-
tarieS and asks him to tell him the
story. How does it turn out? Has
1t got a happy ending?
The secretary is q Friday, and he
knows what the current executive
wants to hear. He reads the book

Thereupon, Herbert Hoover heaves
a sigh of relief and sits back I'M

has been solved and that he need
not worry about that any more.

President to learn even little

T DOUBT that it is a good thing
i for anybody to be President
very long. I mean think it is bad
for the President as we'll as the
people.
You see, it is almost impossible
for a chief executive to get frank
advice and comment. Even his best
friends won't tell him.
The dignity of the Office gets in
the way. Speaking to the man in
the White House is not unlike COM
municating with some convict
through a grating. There can be
no free flow of ideas.
All of us look back at some situa-
ton in our lives when we were
saved from disaster only because
some kind friend said, Don't be an
utter idiot"
But nobody could say anything
like that to a President. Not even
to an obscure one like Martin Van
Buren,.
A Man Thursday

his college days came to Washing

of the nation is, Eyes, Mr.. Presi-

Like Crusoe on his desert island,
every White House hermit has been

five years to get flowers, and they
will not be the same variety as the
parent. The seed should be plant

cold frames during late winter.
Plant at least as deep as four times
the diameter of the seed.

ROOSEVELT HITS
UTILITY PLAN

Vigorous opposition to the
Niagara Falls Power Company'S
plan to permanently divert addi-
tional water from Niagara River
and add $1,500,0O0 to its fixed
capital was expressed by Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Of New
York, today.
He addressed a letter opposing
the power company's application
before the Federal Power Com
mission, on which hearings were
begun today.
The power company asked the
commission to authorize perma-
nent diversion of 275 cubic feet
per second Of Niagara River
water which was formerly licensed
to a number of independent
power concerns on Eighteen-Mile
Creek in New York State. The
Niagara concern purchased the
Eighteen-Mile Creek properties in
1928 and since that time has been
diverting the 275 feet of water
for its own use under temporary
license.
The application would add ST.
500, 900 to the fixed capital Of the
power company.
