OLD TRIBE OF
ALEUTS Barred
Old Civilization Revealed In
Study of the Eskimo
Ancestors
ASIA AMERICAN LINK

Washington foggy, desolate,
1,500-nile island chain of the Aleu-
tians was second important
bridge between Asia and North
America for later stages of the mi
grafton of the ancestors of the In
dians and the Eskimos. the first be-
ing the Bering strait, further north.
Such is the conclusion of DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, curator Of physical an
thropology of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. who has just returned to
Washington after a summer spent
in an archaeological reconnaissance
Of these rocky, volcanic. inhospi-
table islands. Today but a few of
these islands are sparsely popu-
lated, many of them being com
pletely uninhabited; but DR..
Hrdlicka obtained abundant evil
dence that at some time in the past
they had many villages. some of
them Of considerable size, covering
acres of ground.
The probability is, Dr.. Hrdlicka
says. in a Smithsonian bulletin, that
the islands We're not used in the
earlier stages of the coming of man
into America and that the Aleuts
themselves. the inhabitants of the
islands when the Russians arrived,
were among the latest of the Mon
goloid groups TO come out of Asia
probably just before the ancestors
of the Eskimos.
DR.. Hrdlicka, with his students.
made excavations in old village
sites on several now uninhabited
islands and assembled a large col
lection of material of all sorts.
The richest collection was that of
mummies, unique feature of the
prehistoric Aleut culture. They are
desiccated bodies wrapped in hides
often elaborately, with inner
wrappings Of fur or grass mating
which were stored tier upon tier
in almost inaccessible caves and
rock crevices and which have been
preserved there for centuries.
The method of preparing these
mummies was so elaborate and
specialized, DR.. Hrdlicka says, that
the custom almost certainly must
have had long development in
Asia and eventually may be an i'm
portant clue in tracing the Aleutian
migrants to their ancestral home.

Portland, Conn. Edward L.

Of 116 rifles and pistols used in the

JESUS: ALL IN ALL
BY w. D. Greene

By w. D. Greene
Oh! I have got Jesus! what more
do I need?
To drink Of His blood; on His
body to feed,
Though bodily hunger and want
may abound.
In Jesus my soul has rich feed
ing ground.
No sparrow without His notice can
fall,
Then why should I fear to trust
Him for all?
He will never forsake me! of that
I am sure.
With such a Protector, what can
I want more?
Ye wealthy, who reveI in comfort
and ease,
Who feast on the best and do
just what you please,
you go or whatever you
do,
If you live without Christ I am
richer than you.
My wealth is eternal; but not Of
this earth.
Where you squander millions in
pleasures and mirth.
I have treasures in heaven, eternal
and real,
Which no moth corrupts or petty
thieves steal.

With Happier Results.

coaches have schemed with hap
pier results than that. Once
there was coach who found he
couldn't steam his players up for a
game with minor foe Their eyes
were on a major game scheduled for
the following week, but the coach
knew that. unless they could be
shaken out of their apathy, they might
very we'll lose to the little fellows and
so ruin their season.
There was backfield star on this
team from village close to the seat
of the small school, and, the day
before the game, the coach showed a
friend of his a letter which bore the
postmark of the stars home and
which described him as an overrated
player and yellow one, to boot. The
coach pledged the friend to secrecy,
but, of course, the friend was so
incensed that he rushed to the player
and told him about it. And the next
day the star ripped and battered his
way through the small college team,
tearing off yards at a time and never
failing to snarl to his bewildered op-
ponents:
yellow, eh? Tell those cracker
barrel buns about that one Yellow,
eh? Well, how did you like that?
Don't forget to tell them about that
when you get back!"
The star didn't know-maybe doesn't
know yet-that the coach wrote the
letter to himself.

Mystery Fish in Patuxent.

THIS week an angler appealed to
us for help in identifying fish,
and We are passing the problem along.
Last Sunday Harold Singer and Ben
Goldstein were fishing the Patuxent
bit below Marlboro, bringing in 100
white perch and about dozen of the
yellows. They also had one small
blue, rare catch in fresh water.
Smelt and bloodworms were the bats
used, and it was a good catch, but
that is beside the point.
What worries these anglers is
nine gigantic strikes they had,
every one of which got away by
breaking lines or leaders.
Mr.. Singer declared that he would
stake his reputation as an angler
on the fact that every one of those
fish weighed over IL pounds They
saw none of them as they did their
fighting under water and none were
boated. They might have been pike or
pickerel, which have at times been
taken in that locality, but they could
not have put up the big argument
which resulted in so many fish get
ting away.
If anyone knows what these fish
were let us know. and we will pass
it on to Messrs. Singer and Goldstein.

THERE he was credited with giving
the South its first taste of Notre
Dame foot ball. The Rockne system,
now firmly entrenched in the South,
was brought there by Shrewd Tommy,
as he has become known.
In 1925, Thomas moved to the Uni

He stayed there four seasons, during
which time his teams won 20 games,
lost and tied l. Chattanooga was
Dixie Conference champion in 1927
and 1923.
Before succeeding Wade, Frank went
back to Georgia to his old job for

Thomas had become known in South

STEPPED in Golf Lore.

RUT Estelle also had the advantage
of living near Pinehurst, where
they eat, drink and talk golf all day
and half the night. Golf is about
all they talk about at Pinehurst, and
the entire atmosphere revolves around
mashie shots and putting and tee
shots and more golf. Chapel Hill isn't
so far from Pinehurst and it wasn't
long before the national champ was
running over to win North and
South women's tourney once in a
while, and to sharpen up her COM
petitive edge.
She also thrice has won the cham
pionship Of the Carolinas, and all
in all she isn't a bloomer in golf in
any sense Of the word. She hadn't
lost her way when she drove up to
the Memphis Country Club and she
knew what it was all about when
she started going to town against the
best of the Nations female golfers.
The new champion is no freshman
in golf and she can win again. You
don't win two successive qualifying
rounds in the championships she
has done-without having something
on the ball.

Is the element of psychology, which
wise coaches try to twist to their own

And there have been times when a

to a high mental pitch for a game
with dangerous rival, has overplayed
his hand-with disastrous results.
Such as the time coach sneaked
into his own teams dressing room a
couple of hours before a game with

pants and jerseys out of the lockers,
tied them into knots and scattered
them about the floor. When his play

It was swell psychology. At least
he thought So But, by the time his
players reached the field they were
in such fury that they were pen
allied for slugging on the first two
plays and blew up completely when
the other team, making the most of
their blind rage, rushed through them

All the glow is furnished by the
red faces Of people who laughed
when Coach Morley Jennings told
them he had a real foot ball team

have played only one league game,
but they won it against the de-
Tending champion Arkansas eleven
a week ago and they're the only
outfit Of the five that has been in
action in conference competition
without suffering tie or defeat.
The ease with which Baylor
took Centenary, which Is nobody's

urday, proves that to win over
the Porkers must be attributed to
more than plain luck.
Also in Baylor's favor was the

ference Is counted IN the standings

Every few days this department
