DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical
anthropology of. the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, is now on. his way to the Aleutian
Islands for another summer of explora-
tion of the human remains along what
he regards as one of the original migra-
ton pathways of man into North
America.
Last summer he secured evidence of
the existence throughout the island chain
OF the separate type of people antedating
the present inhabitants, the Aleuts.
These were an oblong- headed people,
with both Indian and Eskimo resem-
blances. The occupation Of the islands
by this earlier element, as shown by the
deposits uncovered by DR.. Hrdlicka, was
considerably longer than that by the
Aleuts, and the race at one time must
have been rather numerous. Some of
the blood Of this oblong ng-headed people,
DR.. Hrdlicka believes, still exists among
the present Inhabitants. Remains of the
same type weresfound By him few years
ago on Kodiak Island.
Says DR.. Hrdlicka: "It is clear that
there were two physically distinct types
or Eskimo and it is now seen that at
one time there were two varieties of men
IN the Aeutians. Neither of the Aleutian
types were identical with either of the
true Eskimo types, and though somewhat
related to them they were equally related
to the Indians.
The Far Northwest of the American
continent contains no less than five dis
tlnct strains OF native man. The whole
region can be looked upon as a nursery
OF people, constituted by several related
strains OF Asiatics from which either the
pronounced Eskimo or the typical Indian
type could have developed

The country has Just come through the
biggest measles epidemic on record, with
more than 10000 cases reported from
January to mid-April, inclusive.
This was approximately three times
the rate for the same period in the two
preceding years. In 1884 and 1885, both
bad measles years, there were approxi-
mately $4,000 and $4,000 cases, respec-
lively.
While each section of the country re-
ported more than the average for this
time of the year, according to reports
tabulated by the Public Health Service,
the highest rate was in the East Central
States, where the incidence was four
times the seasonal expectancy, and in
the South Central States, where the rate
was three times normal.
A curiosity of the 1898 epidemic was
that it reached its peak early. The great
est number Of cases was reported about
the end Of March, whereas ordinarily
measles does not reach its highest Incl
dence until late April or early May. In
spite of the great number of cases, how
ever, the death rate was exceptionally
low. ~
This seems to be another smallpox
year, according to the Public Health Serv-
ice tabulations. For the first four months
of the year there were 4,068 cases, the
highest number on record since 1881.
The geographic distribution is very un-
even. The North Atlantic States are
practically free from the disease and the
South Atlantic States have had only six
cases. This latter figure is only about
half the expected number. But the small
pox rate was more than six times the
average in the East-South central region
and considerably higher than usual in
most of the country west of the Missis-
sippi.
The deadly dog tick, carrier of the
spotted fever virus, Is exceptionally
abundant through the East this year, 1t
is announced by the Bureau OF Ento-
mology .,t.
But there Is no need says Entomol-
ogist F. c. Bishopp, to be especially afraid
of it If some simple precautions are
taken First, children playing In the open
should be de-ticked at least twice a day.
Ordinarily careful examination of the
heads and backs of the necks will be
sufficient, since these are the favorite
feeding places of the insects.
It will help the cut down brush and
tall grass around houses and in vacant
city lots where children play, DR.. Bishopp
stresses. Also dogs should be .de-ticked
regularly-with pliers and not with the
fingers The CANNES are not subject to
the infection, but the virulence Of the
tick increases as it becomes gorged with
blood and 1t is more dangerous If 1t gets
on q human being.
Only one in several hundred Of such
ticks carries the spotted fever virus, he
says, but that one may well be the most
dangerous creature known. No cure for
the disease is known and one out Of every
five persons infected dies. An effective
vaccine is prepared by the Public Health
Service, but vaccination is an unneces-
sary precaution except for persons who
necessarily will be exposed to the ticks
for long periods, such as herdsmen or
hunters.
The dog tick Is widely distributed in
the United States east of. the Rocky
Mountains, as well as In Western and
Northern California and parts Of Oregon.

H STREET.

"Dear Sir:
Tom Jones once lived on q street in
the business district.
"He loved his little two-by-four front
yard with its iron fence.
"A few old-fashioued flowers to tend
were his hobby and Joy.
1T was his life.
Before the advent Of numerous traffic
lights the city officials reasoned that they
could make f1ne taxi speedway to the
Union Station. So, at cost OF hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars, the street
was widened.
with the passing of Tom Jones little
front yard, he was sad, and to add to his
misery the city officials charged him a
special tax as benefits derived from this
improvement.
80 he ups and gets himself place in
the suburbs, where he is really happy,
except in his mad desire to get home
early to his flowers.
He gets considerably irked at little
traffic delays, which he believes can be
corrected by the widening Of streets
leading to the suburbs.
HE proves to the city ofncials that If
Eleventh street is widened and no traffic
lights are installed he can get home one
minute sooner. (But II lights are in.
stalled he can 60 no faster than the
lightso
tom Jones is a fine speaker, and he
convinces the officials they should do
this.
Henry Jones lives on Eleventh street.
He loves his little front yard, ETC., etc,
etc.
Mad mad America!
"Very truly yours
Who but will lament the passing OF
the little yard with the iron fence
around it7
There are survivals in some parts of
the downtown sections, with here and
there good grass, and sometimes flowers
but In the main the strictly city front
yards are not things Of beauty.
1t is difficult, indeed, to grow flowers
in such places any more. The effect of
gasoline fumes has never been studied
sufficiently. There can be little doubt
that there would be no flowers or trees
or grass at all IN large cities If 1t were
not for the refreshing effects of the great
out-of doors.
The universe itself is pressing air dowr
into the caverns we call streets; If it were
not for this pressure effect many OF oui
most deadly gases would collect in oul
thoroughfares and stay there.
City living is convenient.
Those who have gone to the suburbs
miss that convenience.
But the modern blighting of the cities
now so much discussed, has driven thou
sands into the outskirts % ec
Dimculty of having gardens in town
was one of the reasons
Something always came along. or
cropped up, to make gardening dificult
There can be little question that how-
ering things help purify the air. The
age-old interchange of gases Is well
known. :.
Any one with nose can actually smell
In the morning what plant life and the
night, acting together, have done, even
in the city.

Hope for Victory Seen in
Finer Ideals of Chinese
To the Editor of The Star.

10 the Edtor OF The Star.
The destiny of China is to win No
nation can unscrupulously usurp the ter
ritorial integrity of another and hope
for ultimate victory. In all the scrolls
OF historical data can we ever find a
nation which ruthlessly subjected a
neighbor to It's will but what fell from
It's ascendency as an imperialistic power,
Japan has gained some maj jor military
victories and is in a much better position
militantly than China But there are
some things beyond which men, NUM-
tions and machines cannot penetrate.
This something the Chinaman possesses
and with it he is consecrated to the
ideals for which it stands. His morale
Is unbroken and he will continue in this
crusade until the plague of the Nipponese
Is driven from his shores.
1t Is most interesting to note some yery
startling figures made public by the
Foreign Policy Association. It is esti-
mated that since 1881, prior to Japan's
flrst invasion Of Manchuria the national
debt has increased from 5,900, 900 900 to
II ,893, 100000 yen at the end of 1887.
David H. Pepper Of the associations re-
search staff states that, "the prospective
increase in the public debt before April,
1939-6.00 100000 yen or more-prac-
tically equals the total increase in the
debt since 1881"
Japan is a nation which depends
largely upon imported raw materials for
her existence. Due to the general boy
colt against her, the export trade of the
Nipponese has been dealt Knockout"
blow. Without this export trade she is
at lost to offset the tremendous buying
she must do. Commodity prices in Japan
have risen sharply and there has been a
notable increase in the issue of bank
notes. These infiationary tendencies
must have q derogatory effect upon her
solvency.
We are acquainted with the gruesome
monstrosities inflicted by the Japanese
In their recent raids on Shanghai,
Peiping. Nanking and now Suchow. In
retaliation China sent her airmen 1000
miles across the Yellow Sea to bomb
Japan with paper leaflets. They might
well have been high explosives wreaking
havoc wherever they landed, but such
would not have been the spiritual phil
osophy of the Chinaman. AS the leaflets
pointed out, the Chinese people seek no
trouble with the people Of Japan
. Is not the pacific attitude of free
loving people urging for peace, praying
for tranquility much more victorious
than the scourge of death and destruc-
tion hurled against them by not wanted
enemy?
It would seem that in the last analysis
the infinite scales Of divine justice will
weigh definitely on the side of the little
yellow man with the lnagnanimous
ideals. BENJAMIN r. STICKNEY, Jr.

Shall one stay where it is convenient.
and try to get along, or 60 farther out?
It is personal problem, but the real
estate sales of recent years seem to
point to general solution.
Those who love plant life must admire
the man or woman who makes good
garden in the downtown section.
Years ago they were seen everywhere
in Washington. Today many OF them
survive in backyard Georgetown gar
dens.
The famous dooryard garden of Civil
War days Is seldom seen any more. Yet
they were very attractive, from all ac-
counts.
Occasionally one sees such a dooryard
still, filled at the right season with the
tall spires Of hollyhocks and the like.
The modern idea has been away from
this informal garden at the front and
toward a strictly formal foundation
planting, as 1t is called.
There can be little question that flower
beds and borders are at their peak of
appearance for only comparatively
short period of each year.
The remainder Of the time such plant
ings are likely to look messy"
That is one reason the more formal
evergreens have taken their place. These
give nice appearance the year around.
give 1t, that is, when they do; for 1t
must be admitted that many evergreens
are green In name only, being quite
brown a great part of the year. either
through neglect or poor situation or
poor material to begin with.

If progress as instanced by wider and
treeless streets, does nothing else for
U.s. at least it shows how fine trees are.
1t Is impossible for many older resi-
dents ever to forget what bower of
trees the National Capital once was
And how well worth while more trees
are.
Some ambitious person ought to start
a movement to put in trees where trees
once were, If at all possible In many
locations, alas, 1t is not possible. But
no doubt there are some streets where
trees still might be put, to take the place
OF the old giants.
What sad thing it Is to see the plan
ned destruction Of something which has
taken years to grow! Nation, family,
tree
Destruction of city trees has made
them seem all the more precious in the
suburbs.
Real steps have been taken in recent
years to preserve and augment suburban
tree paintings.
One step remains, that Of individual
interest.
The too common attitude is that trees
are long time a-growing and that it
Is not worth while for the individual to
plant them. ta-
But the years have way of passing,
and often one will wake up to realize
that if tree had been planted at the
right time it would be very fine speci-
men by now.
Let us hope that progress, as exempli-
fed in the cities will have many good
effects, some of them seemingly little
related to the city. City, suburbs farms
these are all inhabited by the same
kinds Of people: the tree and the garden
ought to be the binding link for all of
them. -ts eg.rt -
