YOHNNY CHUCK and Jimmy
Skunk had known each other
, since they were very little fel-
~ lows. Always they had been
neighbors. If not exactly friends,
they hadn't been enemies. OF course.
Johnny had always had great deal
of respect for Jimmy. as has every
one else. So he had always taken
care to avoid any trouble with Jimmy.
II is that way with most Of Jimmy's
neighbors. Perhaps this is why Jimmy
sometimes seems selfish. Whatever he
wants he takes. because he is very
sure no one will attempt to stop him.
That is what he had done this Spring
in the case of Johnny Chuck. Johnny
had dug himself new home. Jimmy
had come along while Johnny was
away, had examined that new home.
had liked 1t and had taken posses
sion of it. What could Johnny Chuck
do about it? Nothing.
Johnny had spent that night in an
old house of his not far away, one
that he had abandoned long since
The next morning he was back at his
new house. From certain sounds he
knew that Jimmy was still in there
Johnny clashed his teeth together ald
made a lot of threatening sounds,
but that was all he did. Firally he
gave up and went away to try to find
something to eat He was getting
thin these days, for there were few
green things to be found. He was
living on the fat that he had stored
up under his skin in the preceding
Fall.
Johnny didn't go out Of sight OF
that new house He was hoping
against hope that Jimmy Skunk would
come out.
IF he does. he won't get back in
there again." said Johnny to himself,
and he said it very f1ercely.
Jimmy didn't come out until late
in the afternoon, when Johnny was
almost ready to give up. Then Jimmy
came out, shook himself and waddled
of in the direction Of Farmer Brown S
barnyard. He didn't even bother to
look around to see If he was being
watched by any one. He just waddled

out of water in this way, but would
die very quickly If he had to rest on
his plastrOn or undershell. Most of
those We see are bought for the pur-
pose Of being made into soup and are
heavy creatures. If they had to rest
upon the undershell their weight
would press so heavily upon their
lungs and internal organs that they
would soon pass out. Living in the
water so or a 500 pound turtle never
rests upon anything solid.
Longevity and endurance are gifts
the turtle possess under most condi-
tions, in spite of the fact that in their
natural home grounds they have no
restrictions for exercise and long trips.
You can with little difficulty keep a
turtle for years in tank. The water
kept slightly salted and food in suffi-
cient amounts to appease hunger at
mealtime apparently satisfies this
turtle.

(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Jan. The theory of Melanesian or Australoid origin of the American Indian was cont radicted by Dr. Ales Hrd- licka, anthropologist of the Smithsonian institution, af- ter an examination of all available evidence.
 Dr. Hrdlicka, who per- sonally examined more than 10000 crania of North and South American h. dians, as well as a large number of Australian skulls said he could find nothing that represented the true Melanesian or Australoid in new world remains. A type of skull crops up oc- casionally, he said, that might be mistaken by an amateur, but which on ex- pert inspection represents
 
 one of the distinct cranial types of both the Indian and the Eskimo.
 True, he said, skulls are sometimes found that seem to fit into a Melanesian ser ies, but they are not be- yond the normal variation of members of the yellow born race of which the h. dians admittedly were a part.

 The theory of a Melane- sian settlement of the new world is inherently self-con tradictory, said Doctor Hrd licka. According to various . indications, he said, the spread of the Melanesians into the South Seas belong ed essentially to the last millennium before the Christ ian era. It was almost an
