"The protection Of foreign

That projection is now needed,
due to the Japanese aggression.
Japan can cease jeOpardizlng
foreigners by ceasing its artil-

Recounting the incidents lead

UN.SO. - Successful scientific
efforts to correct natures failure

American Medical Association.
The effort were based on re-
cent discoveries about the duct

only initiate the development OF
adult sex characteristics, but also
fix generally the quality of mental
and emotional responsiveness.
Treatments of 25 abnormal or
supnormal children we're reported
by Drs. Louis A. Lurie and j. Vic

Eighteen of the youngsters were
abnormal in behavior and were
headed for Jail or corrective in
Stitutions. Fifteen were COM
pletely reclaimed and established
with normal emotional and men
tai characteristics by treatment
with extracts Of the pituitary
gland, a small mass of tissue at

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE SITUATION

When the question of transportation over the Rlcf ardson Highway embodied on matter of agreements between the Alaska Railroad and Oscar Breedman 1t was only proper that the controversy should be confined to these conflicting interests But gauged by portents the full purport of which may say at the present tme there appears to be movement in Washington to dis cpine this portion of the Territory because it's people have the courage protest against what they believe to be unfarness
 From time to time hints have been thrown out by Senator Howell and other enemies of Alaska that such reprsals would be taken In the face of this evidence somebody in Washington has substituted for free and honest government petty despotism below the dignity of the United States.
 A former Delegate to Congress from Alaska once remarked the floor of Congress that it unfortn ate that he had to stand and fight against repeated saults on the Territory. These repeated calls hampered him in securing needed legislation We find the present Delegate James Wckersham in the position From the moment he entered Washington he has been on the defensive against what appear to be studied efforts to throw every handicap in the way of Alaska and it's pro- gress Not only has this had the desired effect of it's spon sors but has gone far toward keeping capital out ot Alaska and all but discourage those who have refused to be beaten against such odds.
 Apparently,n the desire to continue governmental extravagances flor those sections having votes behind their Congressmen, Alaska has been picked upon smoke screen blind the public to governmental neci ency.
 The pairing down of road appropriations to a point where it becomes necessary to all but abandon manten of the Richardson Highway appears to be some thing involved besides merely protecting the Alaska Rail- road against competition
 Thus the federal government would nullfy every dol- lar of investment along the ghway isolate that immense region congruous thereto and all because of puerie peeve occasoned by the people of this portion of the Ter ritory exercising right guaranteed under the Constl- tution-that of petition.

lies of prehistoric times left by the early islanders are conducive to their best preservation.
 Being imbedded in volcano ash and lava from cataclysmic erup- tions on the main land across She'll kof straits, during which lava and ash in huge masses were thrown across that vast stretch of intervening waters destroyed not only countless island inhabitants in early times but covered whole villages with debris
 Except the great Katmai eruption of 1912, when Kodiak island was completely covered with ash from the main land wiping out many vil- lages, it is impossible to locate with accuracy the time of these earlier and fearful eruptions
 All along the northeastern side of Kodiak island, where extensive areas of volcanic ash and blocks of lava and conglomerate are found, many of these ancient village sites remain intact, hidden from view under many layers of ash and sphagnous growth.
 Kodiak island offers an interes- ting field for the labors of students of North American ethnology.
 Early Russian excavators on the island disclosed deeply constructed caves containing in some instances countless objects of antiquity in- cluding bones and skeletons of a race of people much larger than the present islanders.
 The Russians found on elevated spots, and often far distant from the sea, signs of ancient dwellings, such as barbaras constructed of whalesribs, large logs of drift-wood 1 indicating that these elevated po- SitionS showing remains of dwell ling places, were on the seashore, and over the places where these village sites are found at the pre- sent time, the sea once extended. Nature has spent thousands of years hiding signs of early primi- tive life in Alaska, and it will re- quire many years to wrest from her the secrets she now holds.
 Dr. Hrdlicka will spend the en- tire summer on Kodiak island. He will receive the cooperation from l the islanders who are familiar with ] the topogr raphy and who have knowledge of the location of the old , village sites.

ALASKA SCENE 0F SEARCH FOR ORIGIN
 AMERICAN INDIANS

Dr. AleS Hrdlicka, eminent an- thropologist of the Smithsonian Institute has arrived at Kodiak island where he vii continue his archaeological research into the or igin and antiquity of the North American Indian.
 This is Dr. Hrdlicka's 5th jour- ney to Alaska in quest of scientific information of ancient civilizations of the North. He is confident of adding an interesting chapter this year to the solution of the moot question whether or not the Ameri- can Indian owes his origin to mi grafton from Asia across Boring Straight to Alaska.
 Experts and authorities of the in- stitute are convinced, in spite of the recurring denials sponsored by various parties, that there is no doubt of the truth of this theory.
 The traditions of the Aleutian islanders, chiefly trasmitted in songs, say they came from the west near the great land, which was their original habitation, and that they wandered from there to the Aleutian islands, and then gradually extended to the eastward and fin ally penetrated to the present Alas ka peninsula
 The Russian priest Veniaminoi who resided on the Aleutians and at Sitka between the years 1924 and 1888, most careful observer of the Aleutian people wrote:
 Concerning their knowledge ol the future the old Aleuts assert that some of the most prominent shamans had foretold, long prior to the arrival of the Russians, that white men with strange customs would come to them from the sea.
 At any rate the Aleutian islanders bear a close physical resemblance to the Japanese and Siberian Els kimo.
 Many ornaments and other ob- jects found on Kodiak island bJ previous expeditions resemble very closely those found in Aztec, Inca and Maya sepulchrals and exca' vated cities pointing to the trenc of these ancient migrations.
 The Kodiak group of islands, the largest of which is Kodiak, contain innumerable ancient village sites
 Old mounds from 15 to 20 feet high and covering areas from 50 t( 200 feet have long been known tt exist on Kodiak and adjacent is. lands. These mounds contain waste material of every description dis. carded by ancient peoples inclu ding carved ivory, bones, carved stone, spearheads, wooden bowls spoons and stone vessels.

Fierce Tasmanian Wolf
Doomed to Extinction ?

The Tasmanian wolf is one of
the rarest and most extraordinary
beasts in the world. The species
is said to be nearly extinct, and the
few remaining specimens are rigor-
ously protected. The first of the
many extraordinary things about
the Tasmanian wolf is that it is not
wolf at all, though it looks
more like wolf than anything
else. The animal is really more
akin TO the kangaroo and wallabies,
for 1t has large pouch to carry
the litter of young. Curiously
enough, both the male and the fe-
male are equipped with one of these
pouches. The Tasmanian wolf does
not bark, but gives a series of
Wheezy coughs, and it is said that
when pursued it will get up on its
hind legs and jump like kanga-
roo. They are fierce, and some
years ago when they were plentiful
there was a bonus of S25 offered
Tor every head, because so much
damage was done to sheep and
cattle.
