The Eskimo Mystery.

A University of Pennsylvania expedi-
fion announces the finding of valuable
deposit of Eskimo relics in Alaska, and
the news prompts revival of interest in
the fundamental problem of the origin
of the Eskimo race The subject has
not had much study. Ethnographists
generally have concentrated upon Eski-
mo culture as they found it, not upon
the elements from which it has de-
Seloped
The word Eskimo is not their own
they call themselves "Innuit-Yuit," or
SYou-Kouk, signifying the people"
their Indian neighbors to the south of
the Arctic Circle invented the title by
which they commonly are known, and
the term meant those who eat their
food raw"
For generations they were classed as
Mongolians, and no more accurate clas-
eification was attempted. But anthro-
biologists now regard them as merely

Slum Clearance Advances
From the Cleveland News.

From the Cleveland News.
Ohio now has an enabling act making
it possible for housing corporations to
borrow Federal funds and to receive
outright grants from the Government
on slum eradication projects.
In spite of tine fact that Cleveland
has been leading the country in plans
for the reclamation of ''blighted areas"
there has been no State authority pro-
vided by means of which the full bene-
fit OF Federal aid could be secured. A
housing corporation could borrow from
the Government, but it was not eligible
for 80 per cent direct grant until the
machinery for negotiating such an ap-
preparation, through creation of public
housing authorities. was set up by the
special session of the Legislature in its
closing moments.
The difficult problem of financing the
city's reclamation program in the slum
areas now seems on the way to solu-
ton. Selecting the best plans for the
extensive building operations in pros
pect is the next step.

Boos for the Mayor.

Yesterday New York paraded in
honor of the N. r. A. A quarter of a
million people massed in line and four
fifths of them covered a long route,
marching for ten hours. The remain

owing to the lapse of time, the hour of
midnight finding them waiting for a

of New Yorks greatest demonstrations,

The person who, through lack of
self-assertion, is unable to hold the
interest of those with whom he con-
verses, will look with sort of awe
upon the man or woman who is able
to do it.
Such persons, he will conclude, are
able to dramatize themselves.
That must be the secret.
They seem to be talking, but really
they are acting.
What they say Is speech; they
are parts" for the time being.
These subtle characterizations often
are done with more skill than many
professional displays

him-is two persons in one. the real

He rants, he roars, he minces-yet

a most ordinary conversational tone
He struts the boards as truly as If
the foOtlights shone in his eyes,
His gestures may be no more than
the lighting of cigarette. but he
manages to do 1t deity, with an air
and an art about it.
Those who would initiate him long
in vain, because it is something one
is born with, like the ability to write
really well.
Yet no doubt there are hints which
the admiring observer may take from
him and his work, in order that he,
in his turn. may practice upon others
For there are always others, even
less gifted in these things than ones
self. There always are others who
are tongued-tied. more dumb, more
unable to hold an audience. even if
that audience" be only one single
person.
IF the actors of the everyday are
studied at close range, and that is
the range they like best to be studied
at. of course, they will reveal in time
some OF the secrets of their ability.
In the first place. as stated, they
are foremost and above all born actors.
The histrionic temperament is part
of them.
1t is in their blood It crops out
at the very finger tips. as a cigarette
will be enough to show.
They are actors. VINO consciously or

talker" is interested in the mechanics

certain precision. in most instances: is
interested in usage and pronunciation

If many of these persons be studied
closely it will be discovered that often
they are interested in acting itself
wherein clarity and diction are es-
sentials.
The little theater" groups claim
many of them. Amateur theatricals

apparently, they moved north till they
struck the Canadian Arctic Coast some
where between Coronation Gulf and
Boothia Peninsula, splitting there into
two main streams, one flowing north
east across the islands and then south
east into Greenland, the other west
along the North Coast of America and
around the West and South Coasts of
Alaska as far as Prince William Sound.
A few hundred. apparently in fairly
recent times, crossed over to Siberia
and occupied the immediate corner
around and a little beyond East Cape.
The theory, so delineated, is as good
as any thus far formulated, but it does
not attempt to explain the earlier his
tory of the race The question still re-
mains as to when the Eskimos came to
North America and from what section
of the Asiatic Continent. There can
be no doubt about their ethnic rela-
ton to the Monaghan parent stock;
they are. certainly, cousins Of the mod
ern Chinese as well as to the modern
American Indian.
However, it does not seem possible
that their distinctive culture can be Of
such recent origin as Mr.. Stefansson
and other writers believe. The migra-
tons to America. it may be, began
much longer ago than two thousand or
four thousand years. Otherwise it
would be difficult to explain how the
peoples found in North and South
America were so vastly unique in their
cultural character. And the ESkimos
were early corners, rather than late.
Perhaps the University of Pennsyl-
vania scientists will solve the mystery
If so, they can count upon an appreci-
ative reading of their report.

Offers Plan to Make
The n. r. A. Effective

To the Editor of The Star:
I hope that you will grant me space
in your paper for the following sugges-
lions regarding the N r. A. and what
I think should be done to make 1t a
real success.
Being in business for myself and get
ting in contact with various manufac-
turers and business people gives me a
fa!r chance to learn what is going on
in the business field. The factories are
very busy because the merchants are
buying heavily. Not because they arc
having demand for their merchandise,
but because the factories are advising
their prospective customers that prices
are going up.
But what will be the result after the
manufacturers have filled the orders fer
their customers, which I presume will
not take much longer for them to fill?
The people that have been employed in
the N. R. A. are not enough to slim
ulate business, so therefore after the
factories will have completed their Or
ders they will be forced to lay of pcs-
sibly more people than they employel
under the N. R. A.. and this viii. be
due to the merchants who stocked up
and have not disposed of their mer-
chandise
Now to make this N. R. A. to 60 oyer
big there is left one thing to 90 and
that is that the Government should ask
every business man, small or large, that
they must employ from one Or mole
persons in their various kinds of bust
nesses. The small merchants can take
one person on to work and let their
wives 60 home and attend to the house
work. The larger merchants can employ
more than one regardless of whether
they need it or not. If they should
know that it is total loss, they must
do SO. 1t is bitter medicine to take,
but Is only for short period of time
1t is gambling to take. but to my mind
it is less gambling with a real prospect
to win than to let things go as they
are now.
To arrange which merchant should
employ employees and which should be

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

exceptions. Of course. here as else
where.
The mouth is straight, usually some
what compressed. with one lip likely
to be rather narrow.
It is when we come to the eyes OF
the exceptional talker that we hit
another lead" The eyes of such a
person almost always are a bit un-
usual.
Here is a good conversationalist who
has a sharp, eager, inquisitive eye
Few things escape him. He Is able
to take in a great many things at a
glance and, as likely as not. something
or other which he should not have
seen. some might think
He has the eagle eye" the eye OF
the hawk, the glittering orb which
holds the attention of the person to
whom he Is talking.
Sometimes this magnetic eye Is the
whole stock in trade of such a good
talker. He is. in sense not a good
conversationalist at all but is like the
mariner in Coleridge's famous poem
who held the wedding guest with his
glittering eye.
A good woman talker Is likely to
have really beautiful eyes, maybe of
the Greta Carlo type.
There are many fluent speakers. of
course, among the ladies. but this does
not mean that they are really good
takers.
They just use a great many words,
that is ALL
The woman able 70 hold the in
terest of those with whom she con-
verses does something more than talk
She acts, she projects herself, she
dramatizes what she is telling, SO that
somehow or other it stands out as If
on stage and within wings.
In this interesting feat she uses her
eyes as only good-looking girl with
pretty eyes can.
X
An exceptional! speaker, of the type
we are considering, whether man or
woman, has two other great aids, and
We are not sure they are not the
greatest of all.
The first of these is conceit,
The really exceptional converse
tionallst never has any doubt what
ever that he is interesting. that he
knows a great deal. that others will
be interested, that they must be in
terested
Intersections he brushes aside, or
politely tolerates until the unwanted
noise subsidies
He knows 1t all and others should
be- willing to learn something from
him.
Now, this is perhaps the most valua-
BILE asset any one can have, this sort
OF conceit, If he attempts to interest
others by talking to them.
The modest, the humble man fails
to secure interest, f1rst of all. because
ne is not enough interested himself in
himself.
He is afraid of himself and his
abilities, but the real talker never is;
he Is quite sure that what he has to
say will interest, and this attitude
makes an impression. It is a sort of
super-salesmanship of the sort dis
played by some of the most modern
rulers in Europe.
And then there is energy. mental
and physical which gives the real
speaker his grip.
human energy is a peculiar thing,
not studied half enough, or one-tenth
enough. This big man, physically, has
1t not. but this shrimp possesses it.
Whatever energy is. electricity, maybe.
1t helps the good conversationalist
more than any one thing. except the
ability to dramatic ones self. Every
good talker is good actor.

British Farmer Gets
Chance at Home Trade.
Irish Independent. Dublin-Only a
few years ago the reduction in the i'm
port of foreign supplies of chilled and
frozen beef and frozen mutton and
lamb announced by the minister of
agriculture, Maj. Walter Elliot, would
have been good news for Irish farmers
and graZierS. But in the changed cir
cumstances of today it can bring no
satisfaction. for it is merely an effect of
the minister's policy, which is to give
the British farmer a chance in his own
market
The encouragement Of British agri-
culture has, after many years of agi
ton on the part of the farming COM
munity. begun to take definite shape.
1t required the world economic depres-
sion with its train of consequences
declining exports. unemployment. and
impoverishment-to lead British gov
eminent to consider seriously to what
extent this country could produce it's
own food and reduce the amount spent
in buying its food from overseas
countries.
Maj. Elliot seems determined to cap
ture the largest possible part of the
British market for the home farmer
in the shortest possible time, SO that,
even if the Anglo-Sarostat dispute came
to an end tomorrow. the Free State
farmer cannot hope that this country
will buy as much from him as formerly.

traffic signal invention which expert

ment on the present road control
system.

three green electric lights symbolizing

three reds for STOP" in place of the
three existing single lights. It gives
both motorist and pedestrian a more
effective indication of his traffic bear
ings at crossroads and makes for greater
safety while actually speeding up traffic.
The single-light robot has the dis
advantage of causing approaching
traffic to accelerate to get through on
the green" whereas three greens fad

ing into the yellow afford a clear view
of the time margin available.
