Early "Portraits"
To Be Described
By DR.. Hrdlicko
Kodiak Island Finds Are
Put in Foyer of
Museum.

The earliest portraits" made in
North America-actual representations
of individual men and women who
could be recognized were they to
arise from their graves after 5000
years-have just been placed on ex-
hibition in the foyer of the New
National Museum.

these particular portraits" at the
lowest level of occupancy of the
Kodiak Island site.
They are efhgies carved of bone.
wood and ivory. Most aboriginal art
work is standardized, but these
statuettes evidently were carved to
represent real individuals. In some,
one might suspect, there was touch
of humor, so faithfully did the ancient
artists adhere to the physical Pc
culiarities of their subjects. The
portrait" of one old man shows
clearly that he had lost his teeth.
Another, with a sort of crown about
the head, reveals the stern, strong
face of a man who may well have
been a great leader. Still another
has a chin beard, a rarity among the
Indians. The portrait of Kodiak
Island beauty of 1000 years ago is
detailed enough to show her eye
brows.

Auenue Held by Starlings
As Fund Need Is Debated

With rattles and sticks and toy bal
looms, they frightened the birds away
from their favorite roosting places.
Toy balloons on strings were let to
float to the treetops and the cornices
of buildings repeatedly to make the
birds move. They did.
Weeks ago, Commissioner Allen sent
to Works Progress Administrator Hop

A survey of the need and possible
source of income for proposed new
Washington auditorium was decided
on yesterday by a subcommittee OF the
Board Of Trades Committee on Public
and Private Buildings.
C. Melvin Sharp. chairman. said the
demand for a new auditorium is be-
coming increasingly evident.
Our present auditorium facilities
are inadequate" he declared, 'and
practical steps must be taken soon. u
He added that although numerous
large national organizations find
Washington a desirable city for con-
ventions, they frequently choose other
cities because the Capital cannot pro-
vide an adequate central meeting hall

Curtis Hodges, chairman of the
Greater National Capital Committee,
was delegated to study auditorium
possibilities here in comparison with
those in other cities. He will make his
survey by questionnaires and by per-
sonal interviews at the convention of
the International Association of Con-

Possibility of constructing an audi

containing inhabited alleys which will
offer the proposed auditorium every
advantage in the way of adequate

Expected Results.
The new fever machine is designed
to be effective in two different types
of illnesses.
In the first type, it is able to produce
a temperature in the human body so
high as to kill directly certain germs
which cause disease.
In the second type. the machine
is able to raise body temperature
of the patient, so as to increase
his resistance. so that the body it.
