New Discovery Aids in
Tracing Indians Origin

PALO ALTO, CALIF.-Further
support of the theory that the Amer
lean Indian originally came from
Central Asia was produced recently
by DIR. Franz Weidenreich, of the
Peiping Union Medical college at a
scientific meeting at Stanford uni
versity.
DR.. Weidenreich revealed the re-
cent discovery Of bones of a family
of seven persons in the so-called up
per cave of Choukoutien, in remote
western China. Beside the bones
were remains of fossilized animals
and cultural objects which indicated
the group belonged to the Upper
Paleolithic, or Stone age.
Three of the skulls, DR.. Weiden-
reich reported, were SO well pre-
served that it was possible to de-
termine their racial affinities. The
skull of an old man looked in gem
eral like the Stone age man OF
Europe, but showed some special
features characteristic Of Asiatic
races Of today.

MAKERS-
Tip on Doors:
They Can Make
Or Break You
BY GEORGE T. EAGER

THE boiled down experience
4 of many grocers has proven
that a door swinging into the
store attracts more customers
than a door that swings out. A
double acting door that swings
either way is still better.
Narrow doors less than
three feet wide and doors
hard to open have been known to
actually send customers to some
other store.
Customers should be able to see
into a grocery store from the pave
ment. Strangers who might become
new customers like to look into a
store before they enter.
The store entrance should be on
the same level as the sidewalk. Ex-
perts in store arrangement say that

Old Fashioned
Hospitality

With Thanksgiving back Of us and
winter. ahead perhaps this is an ex-
cellent time to ask ourselves some
searching questions-to be answered
just by ourselves.
Do we az homemakers really en-
Joy neighbors and friends? AS they
pass our house on our street do they
think of us with a friendly warmth?
Or have we, perhaps unknowingly,
allowed ourselves to be so busy, so
concerned about the tasks of the
day that we have forgotten that aft
er all the biggest joy in living comes
because it is the privilege Of each
one to 'slive in my house by the side
Of the road and be a friend to man."
Let's entertain then, but let's en-
terrain simply, informally, inexpen-
sively. And thinking that you might
like to do just this, I have collected
for you this week a number of my
favorite recipes for just such easy
entertaining. Please note the little
hints that are attached to each Of
the recipes.
Spaghetti With Clipped Beef.

This recipe is particularly nice
for a one-dish meal when guests

beef in the fat until crisp and brown.

much as Is per cent.
When the store floor is three or
four inches up or down from the
pavement level sloping entrance
is better than a step.
Customers prefer to take steps
down into store as against step
ping up to enter but floor on the
exact level Of the pavement is still
best because customers can enter
without extra thinking.
Light always attracts customers
and the brilliantly lighted store is
usually the busy store.

right combination Of ingredients that

thin; too sweet nor not sweet

women; with boys as with girls.
