CARVING Of SNAKE
PUZZLES SCIENCE
Ivory Relic on Exhibit Here
Was Found by DR.. HrdIicka
in Alaska.

The scaly ivory head of snake or
lizard found buried deep in the frozen
soil Of Alaska may indicate an ulti-
mate Southern origin for the prirni-
tive population of North America.
The strange relic has lust been
placed on exhibition in the roycr G.,
the National Museum by DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, Smithsonian Institution
curator of physical anthropology, and
constitutes an outstanding archeo-
logical conundrum.
It's maker was one of the old "ivorg
culture" people who preceded both
the true Eskimos and the true Iva
dians in this part Of the world They
were the earliest Alaskans and un-
doubtedly came to the New World
from Siberia. But, DR.. Hrdlicka
says, the maker never could have
come into contact with such a reptile
either in Alaska or Northern Siberia.
He never could have sculptured so
accurately purely from imagination.
Two Conclusions Possible.
Only two conclusions are possible,
he says. Either the ancient migrants
to the New World brought with them
. strong tradition of an ancient
Southern home in which such rep
tiles may have abounded, or some
emigrant from the South came among
them. The latter hypothesis is high
ly improbable.
The reptile head is a priced part
OF the exhibit arranged by DR.. Hrd-
licka to illustrate his annual lecture
this evening on his nine summers of
intensive archaeological work in the
Far North. The public is invited to
this lecture, which will be held in
the National Museum auditorium.
Many Articles on Exhibit.
In addition, the exhibit contains
hundreds of articles obtained from
the graves and habitation sites of
one Of the most remarkable primitive
cultures ever uncovered There are
artificial eyes, finely carved ''por-
traits" snow goggles, an amazing
variety of knives, adzes, axes, spears,
arrow points, kitchen and eating uten-
sils, seats, etc. Among the choice
articles obtained by DR.. Hrdlicka last
summer are number of battle shields
carried by the ancient Northern war
riors. These we're richly decorated
with symbolic designs. One Of them
carries marks where it was struck
with two arrows
In his lecture DR.. Hrdlicka will tell
not only of his finds this summer
but Of the entire cultural complex
which he has uncovered in the Far
North and its bearings on American
archaeology.

NTH the duty OF handling the
money which each year IS donated
to the Community Chest.
ETWE e EN- June and Septem-
X Der more distressed travellers
reached Washington than in
any other period OF the city's
history, according to Mrs. Margaret
Ford, executive secretary of the Trav-
elers' Aid Society, one Of the 81 WASH

buttons to the Community Chest.
Every year the number OF persons
needing help from the Travellers Aid
shows a sharp increase during the
Summer" said Mrs. Ford, "but this
year we reached the unprecedented
high of 1856 in the single month of
July" about twice as many people as
come to us in the normal months Of
winter"
Lowered train fares, the fact that
children are out of school, better times,
which gave people the hope that there
might be job for them some place
if only they could travel far enough
to find it, were given by Mrs. Ford as
the reasons for this increase in power

Figures of the society for the past
six months, submitted to the Commu-
nifty Chests volunteer Budget Com
mittee, show that almost $4,000 tray
elers have been served during this
period. In many cases only advice or
information were needed, but over
1000 needed either relief or some
other specialized help. OF these 1000,
almost half were children who were
travelling alone. Old people and i'll
people travelling alone numbered over
400.

"Amphitryon," a soucy Movie,
Opens At the BeIosco

"Amphitryon" is a movie cock
tail that has sparkle, a delicious
bite and a powerful kick. In
fact if Hollywood had made the
new picture at the Belasco Theater
the critics would be shining
new medal for the industry.
I have never seen a finer pic
ture issue from the foreign
studios. The music of Francois
Doelle alone makes it distin-
guished and the melody back
ground has been delightfully."-
woven into a saucy fantastical
story told with skill and projected
with a lyrical beauty.
Full of Music
Many movie patrons stay away
from the French pictures because
they are unfamiliar with the
language. To these I say the
English sub-titles have been so
cleverly synchronized on the
screen that they maintain an even
pace with the action of the
characters and one is seldom con-
Scious of an alien tongue.
"Amphitryon," called in English,
1.-THE Gods at Play" has been
adapted from AriStophanes
naughty story with a clever pen.
The dialogue is in the up-to-date
vernacular and the acting IS
thoroughly modern.
Briefly, it tells the result Of q
visit by Jupiter and his pal, Mer-
curry, to the sphere of mortal man.
Jupiter comes to earth to play
around and he picks Amphitryon'S
lovely wife, Alcmene, for a roman
tic partner. He has to transform
himself into a double for the war
rior in order to get a response
from the lady, who is faithful to
her Thebian general. The compi-
cations come when the war be-
tween ThebeS and Boetia is ended
and the triumphant Amphitryon

A Grand Cast
A snappy story, full of zestful
wit, moving fast, sprinkling laughs
all the way, when it is not charm
ing the ear with tuneful music.
The main roles are played by
Henri Carat, Jeanne Boitel, Ar
mand Bernard, Odette Florelle and
Marguerite Moreno, and they are
all magnificently capable. The
direction of Reinhold Schunzel has
mass scenes that De Mile would
envy, the production is in every
way up to the best Hollywood
values.
You may be interested to know
that "Amphitryon" will be the
next play of Alfred Lunt and Lynn
Fontanne under Theater Guild au-
spices. I can only say that they
will be lucky indeed, if they get
as rollicking a comedy out of Arts
