Tallest Blends Are
"Nordic-F alians''
of North Germany
By EMILY G. DAVIS

New York.-Tallest blond
communities in the world, is
the distinction claimed for
three isolated villages in a
marshland district near
Bremen. Nevertheless, they
are not classified as pure
Nordics by DR.. Christian Won
Krogh of the Munich Anthro-
biological museum, who has
just completed a special study
Of them. He calls them "Nor-
die Falians" - by analogy
perhaps with the tall, me-
aiun-blond, but rather round
headed Westphalians.
This group of people are land.
holding peasants, and they have
held the same land for centuries.
Two of the villages, Arsten and
Habenhausen, have been in exist
ence since prehistoric times; the
third is comparatively new, having
been founded in the Eleventh CEN
fury on land that had just been
drained. Its name, Neuenland, Eng
fishes as ''Newland."
They Are Exclusive.
The farmer families marry only
among themselves, keeping the
tandless workingmen of the towns
excluded from their family circles.
A considerable degree of inbreed-
ing has naturally resulted. Tracing
family trees back four generations,
DR.. Won Krogh found only 1914 per
cent as many ancestors as there
would have been had no intermar-
rying occurred.
That inbreeding to this degree
has not harmed the stock physically
is evidenced by the condition of the
people. today. The average body
height is five feet nine inches; it
is the greatest group height known
in Europe. The people have big
heads-high, long, and wide-with
large faces to match.

Tree Rings May Solve
Mayan Calendar Puzzle

Washington. Tree rings of the
Southwest are now expected to solve
the puzzle of the Magyar calendar,
enabling psychologists at last to
date the magnificent ancient civili-
cation that fourished in the Amer.
lean tropics before Columbus.
New discoveries in Magyar ruins
in Guatemala, which bring the solu.
ton definitely nearer, were an.
nounced here by DR.. A. v. Kidder,
archeologist of the Carnegie insti.
tuition of Washington. DR.. Kidder,
who led the institutions latest ex.
petition to Guatemala, told Of find
ing pottery there, which was clear
ly brought down to the Magyar cities
by Toltec Indian traders from their
own great city OF Teotihuacan, far
to the north near Mexico City.
DR.. Kidder finds that these Mayas
and the Toltecs who traded with
them were living either about 700
A. d. or $50 A. D., but which Gen.
fury is correct, Psychologists can
not agree. 1t is the two conflicting
ways of translating Magyar dates in.
to our modern calendar, one shifting
Magyar history about $50 years later
than the other, that DR.. Kidder
now sees hope of Strengthening out.
Archeologists must now seek the
missing link, DR.. Kidder foresees,
to settle the Magyar civilization iii
historic centuries. And that link is
pottery or some other trade object
linking these Toltecs with the south
western United States, where pueb.
los built by Indians are precisely
dated in centuries, and even exact
years, by means Of the tree ring
calendar evolved by science.

LIDO

"Clolstered," one of the most suc- cessful pictures of the present day. ic coming to the Lido theater on Wednesday for three-day run. This new film has won the wide ac- claim of critics throughout the na- tion, and it's fame has also spread to foreign shores. Strangely enough, "Cloistered" boasts none of the usual attributes that go to make a well received picture. It has no love story, unless you can call the love of a woman for her God a love story; it has no hero and no william; for no male save priest enters the film; and, it has no actresses for the complete action of the pie ture takes place in the convent of the Good Shepherd, and 1t is a ture picture of the daily life of the Good Shepherd nuns. And the Sis ters do not act. They are imposed and go through their normal rou- tine with simplicity and an inspir- ing naturalness.

After winning the first trick, North continued with another club, which was ruffed in dummy. West now led low diamond and went up with the ace. He returned a small spade and finessed the ten, South winning with the ace. South returned the heart four and dummy's ace won. The diamond finesse was now taken, and when it held, low club was ruffed with the jack, and South's queen of trumps picked up. Then the los- CTS were discarded on the spades in dummy, thus fulfilling the con- tract. North and South could, and in several cases did, make four hearts where the bidding was less spirited.

M The Local Theate1:S
STATE

"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" CO., starring Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper depicts new type of comedy which has had capacity audiences at Warner Brothers State theater fair ly rolling in the aisles during every performance since its opening Sum- day.
 If you're looking for amusing en- tertainment of the Slap-stick variety don't fail to see Americas leading love team in the comedy hit of the current year. Make a date to see this picture before it's closing per- formance Thursday night.
 The story, adapted from the fa- nous play of Alfred Savoir, tells about much-married American multi-millionaire who is subdued and put into strait-jacket by his eighth wife, whom he marries for a new thrill. Miss Colbert is the same flip, ingenious girl who made screen history in last years q Met Him in Paris" Cooper, as the philander- ing American, plays opposite her in a role that fits him down ot the last stripe on his last pajama.
 After becoming the bride of the much-married financier, Miss Col- bert, penniless French aristocrat, starts out on campaign to bring him to his knees and humble his pride for the first time. A score of Europe's gay spots, including the Riviera, the Tyrol, Venice, Vienna and Paris, form the battle-ground, while the brides weapons are cool- ness, indifference and stubbornness. No general in history used his tac- tics to greater advantage, and before the honeymoon is over, Cooper is her obedient servant.
 There is here a lightness of touch and Spontaneity of humor which puts the picture out in front of other screen comedies of the season.
 Edward Everett Horton, David Niven, Elizabeth Patterson and Her. man Bing are included in the ex- cellent supporting cast.
 Akim Tamiroff, Hollywood's great est dramatic actor is cast in the ace role of his brilliant career in Dan gerous To Know" the shock studded story of a super-gangster who thought he could win a society girls love as he'd won control of the rack cts through violence and mur- der!

POLI'S

The gay, dignified swish of peer age and it's coming a cropper in a middle European New Deal offers a delightfully."- exciting theme fo1 "The Baroness and the Butler which opens Wednesday at the LoeW Poli theater, for a three-day engagement.
 This Daryl F. Zanuck production for 20th Century-FoX co-starS Will liam Powell and Annabella in a blithe screen version of the stage hit that had half of Europe agog.
 Annabella, in her first American made picture, believes buffers are born to obey-but debonar Bill obeys such un-butler- like impulses She's so proud; he's so proper . .. and you'll be so surprised!
 This film has caught the tone and flavor of an old regime-years ot tradition and generations of es- cutcheon worship-suddenly con- fronted with blue bloods' dilemma in which the self-effacing butler emerges rom his cocoon to assume social equality with his noble em- ployers.
 Powell, at his suave best, tries tc save the Counts family from the blow of learning that he has been elected to Parliament on the Social ist-Progressive ticket. By his very actions he brings down charges ot impoliteness, fraud and trickery on his head.
 The supporting cast of the Bar oness and the Butler" features Helen Westley, Henry Stephenson, Joseph Schildraukt, J. Edward Bromberg, Nigel Bruce and Lynn Bari.
 This picture is one that will give movie fans a treat, long to be remembered. Powell never was bet ter Annabella reveals the most glamorously exciting personality ever to grace the screen.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is Murder in Greenwich Village" with Richard Arlen and Fay Wray.
 Attractions ending their engage ment tonight are "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" starring Shirley Temple, and Maids Night Out"
 Attend Loew's Poli every Thurs day evening and join in the fun of "Uproar Hour" that sensational, laugh-provoking new entertainment.

one of major proportions. Such was the case on the hand discussed today, in which the eventual de- clarer found himself in doubled contract of five when he had been doubtful if he should make any bid.
 west has a doubtful two diamond bid after East's overcall and Souths bid of one no trump, and he was extremely unhappy when he found himself in a game contract in dia- monds. He regretted that he had not doubled the five club bid, which could have been beaten, as at least three tricks must be won by East and West.
