1 Like music? Not the poundings percussions. blasts, blares and var ious confused noises evoked frora different kinds of hardware and ltinware, and commonly character ized as jazz, but sweet and tune ful melody on an instrument that has stood the test of ages. Here's the chance.
 Miss Aleece Graves will giys harp selections from the stage of the Capitol theatre in connection with the presentation of the regu- lar photoplay programs tomorrow and Friday nights. She is Alas ka's only harpist. She is on a visit to her parents, MT. and Mrs. H. S. Graves of this citly, and has been engaged by the management of the theatre for these two ap- pearances only.

Father Bernard R. Hubbard's il- lustrated lecture on his explora- tions of Western Alaska volcanoes at the Capitol Theatre last night attracted capacity audience. The speaker told of his investigations this year of the famous Aniakchak crater His motion pictures depict ed it's eruption and gave spectators some idea of the perils he en- countered in making his study of the great natural wonder
 Told of Work This Year
 The Glacier Priests address was devoted almost entirely to his ac- tivities last spring and this sum mer. Many of these recent ex- periences were made vivid by mo- tion pictures that he had developed since his arrival in Juneau from the Westward ten days ago. In ad- dition there were pictures of much lof his research work of last year In connection with these he gave interesting explanations. These pie lures had never been shown before in this city.
 Show Professional Skill The pictures abounded in artistic effects and prove that Faths, Hubbard's photographic skill has attained professional standards. The lecture kept the interest of auditors sustained throughout. Haz- ards and dangers were frequently relieved by humorous incidents. The address with it's illustrations was so entertaining that virtually all who heard it would have been de- lighted if it had been twice as long as it was.
 The Catholic Church of the Ma tivity, for which the lecture was given, benefited handsomely.

in which the best of soviet food supplies and manufactured art,- cles, are sold to foreigners only Here prices are on par with those in other countries and often lower than those charged for in- ferior merchandise in stores oper- ated for soviet citizens.
 Heretofore, Russians were not permitted to use "Torgsin" stores because the law prohibited them from owning foreign money and they therefore, theoretically, lacked means to buy there.
 The situation now, however, is different. They are encouraged to trade in '"Torgsin" provided they exchange gold coins or. jewelry for credit there. A special office has been opened before which long lines of persons stand awaiting their turns to trade in valuables.
 Eight assayers weigh the brace lets, chains, crosses, rings and oth CT knickknacks and. issue credits good for wearing apparel not to be had in other stores, or food deH- cacies such as ham, sausage, eggs, butter cheese and white bread.
 One gram of gold brings 73 ko- pecks tabout 47 cents) and the total is entered in book en- titling the seller to spend that much in roubles in "Torgsin."
 Wide Price Ranges
 A comparison of prices in "Torg- sin," the "open' stores where any one can buy, and the closed" CT ration shops where only those with ration cards may trade, shows q wide variation.
 Butter costs 52 cents a pound in 'Torgsin," $400 in the open stores and $1.l2 in the ration shops; ten eggs bring 30 cents in "Torgsin,' s1 50 in the open and 50 cents in the ration stores; pair of shoes. $500 in "Torgsin," $2500 in the commercial stores and $500 in the ration stores.

ANCIENT ALASKANS
CULTURED RACE
Or. HrdIicka Says Kodiak
Islanders Were Like Gen.
trail Americans.

The prehistoric inhabitants Of Kodiak
Island, off the southern coast of the
Alaskan Peninsula, possessed culture
traits definitely linking them with the
great aboriginal civilizations which de-
veloped later in Central America and
Peru, Dr.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator Of
physical anthropology of the National
Museum, said last night In a public
lecture under auspices of the Smith
sonian Institution.
The first evidences Of this culture
were found last Summer by DR.. Hrdlicka
in his search for the routes by which
the North American continent was
settled by the immigrants from Siberia
at some time during the neolithic
period The ancient Kodiak islanders,
cannibals who had developed such ad-
vanced artifacts as artificial eyes, rep
resented one stage Of the settlement, DR..
Hrdlicka believes, which is probably the
most ancient that has been uncovered.
Figurine in Design.
In some of their graves he found
figurine executed in designs strongly
resembling those which appear much
later in the art forms of the Mayas
Thus, he believes, the Maya and Aztec
civilizations did not represent complete
developments from state OF savagry
but began as revivals of culture which
had been brought from Asia many CEN
turies before but largely given up be-
cause of the eXigencies Of the new en-
yironment.
DR.. Hrdlicka insisted that there is
little basis for the theories which hold
that the aboriginal American population
received large incrementS from the
South Sea Islands and from Australia
The whole development he insists, had
its roots in Siberia and any accretions
from other sources were OF little conse-
quence.
Once primitive man had reached the
desolate East Cape of Siberia, he said,
the progress to North America was in
evitable. The coast of Alaska could be
seen on clear day. The ancient people
had boats in which they were able to
cross the narrow Bering Strait and they
would be driven to make the crossing
by the scanty food supply. especially as
new coners pushed them from behind.
Alaska More HospitabIe.
Alaska, he said, must have appeared
to them as a much more hoSpitable
country than Siberia. They were largely
a race of fishermen. continually seeking
a fresh fish supply. From Alaska, he
believes, the progress was down the
Pacific Coast, SO that the great devel-
opments of Indian culture in the South
may have come comparatively early,
while the ancient culture exemplified
by the Kodiak Island finds was not
great many generations behind them.
Physiological data, he insisted, show
that the whole Indian race, together
with the Eskimos, is essentially homo
geneous, so that there is little likeli
hood of any large accretions from any
other source.

CHICAGO, February 25.-A dra-
matte story by woman who said she

police hunt today for Ralph Root, 49,

WANTS SWORD GIVEN
PERSHING RETURNED
Venezuelan Appeals to U. S., but
Is Advised to Turn to Own
Government.

Any protest against the six-year-
gift Of the sword of Venezuelan patriot
presented to Gen. John j. Pershing Is
a matter to be taken up with the
Venezuelan, and not the American Gov
eminent, State Department officials said
today in reply to Rafael de Nogales,
Venezuelan soldier Of fortune.
Nogales had protested that the sword
of Gen. Paez was relic of such historic
interest to Venezuela it never should
have been permitted to leave the
country.
The sword, used by Gen. Paez, one Of
the heroes of the Venezuelan War of
Independence, was presented to Gen.
Pershing with decoration and other
momentoS of his visit to Venezuela by
President Gomez through the Minister
in Washington, on June 25, 1925.
Gen. Pershing turned the historic
sword and other gifts over to the State
Department, where they will be kept,
under the laws governing such gifts,
until Gen. Pershing is authorized to ac-
cept them.
Nogales, who took part in the revolu-
ton Of 1911 against President Gomez, IS
now in Washington, and not only wrote
a protest, but called at the State De-
partment in connection with the mat
ter.
They advised him to take the matter
up with the Venezuelan government.
