KODIAK DISCOVERY

Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, the noted anthropologst of the Smithsonian Institution has perhaps achieved his greatest discovery in his field of science Kodiak Island Alaska
 The Institution at Washington has just been informed that Hrdcka has unearhed skeletons and other relics of prehistoric peoples the bleak island after four years of excavation.
 His reports indicate that Kodiak in the very ancient past inhabited by succession of different peoples each with different cuture".
 It is the Hrdcka theory similar to that of Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn that the human originated n Central Asia, whence it slowly overspread the earth
 In this direction Kodiak Island a stepping stone between Asia and America
 The thus presented is of countless centuries o time with slowly developing and two great streams of humanity flowing eastward and westward.
 The westward Aux continued far down into the hstor cal period-the barbarans who the Roman Empire and created modern Europe among it's last currents
 The migration to the Americas ceased far earlier when the Aleutian land bridge was broken down by geologic change.
 But while it lasted-probably at its height-t poured into these continents the ancestors of the cultured Azec Mayas and presumably, after these intelligent races came the less developed tribes whose descendants Columbus his successors found living here in various stages of savagery h
 Dr. Hrdcka's discovery is evidently one of the most important links in chain of evidence to sustain that par ticular theory of evolution which most interests mankind the evolution of man himself.

 Mr. Pegues explained that the Administration hopes to accomplish threefold purpose with FHA ito bring i'm mediate unemployment relief promote business recovery and reform the home mortgage market
 In Alaska the working out of FILA will without doubt be effective in fulfilling the hopes of the Administration in regard to the foregoing as it will in the states
 In Alaska through the improving of homes, apart mens office buildings and business places the sutng benefits each community will transcend situations outside Because of the pioneer nature of the country and the former practice of great many who came to Alaska merely to exploit it for gold fur fish, to make stake and get out every community has suffered from lack ot building for permanency This applies to living quarters and generally to business quarters as we'll
 Alaska for sometime past has been slowly working out of this of temporary camps toWns communities.
