What Tough Meat Did to the Eskimos

the great amount of tough meat
consumed by the Eskimo is re-
sponsible for these massive jaw
bones and the extra bony growth.
These groWths are benign. hard,
permanent and never inflame or
decay.
DIR. Hrdlicka has evidence that
shows these enlarged jaws are
not a throwback to primitive
man. The courageous Vikings,
followers of Eric the Ped and
other Morse legendary heroes,
prove that.
In the skulls of the old Morse
colonists who settled Greenland
and Iceland and are believed to
have discovered North America,
anthropologists found the extra
heavy jaw bones. These strange
formations were much more COM
mon among the Morse colonists
than their stay-at-home relatives.
No evolutionary change could
have accounted for this differ
ence. DR.. Hrdlicka argues. Rather
it must have been the food in
Iceland and Greenland. he be-
lieves.
In the Scandinavian countries
at the time of the Vikings grains
+ and cereal grasses and cattle,
sheep and other domesticated
animals were raised for food
None of these. except some cat
tie that may have been brought
over, were present in Iceland and
! Greenland
In these new lands the Morse
colonists found little soil suitable
for growing grains and what
domesticated animals they may
have brought. with them were
few In the end it was much
simpler TO follow native Eskimo
custom and live off the seals,
bears and other beasts With
each day their jaws grew
stronger and thicker and better
adapted TO their diet.

anatomist and anthropologist.

The pavilion roofs and gates are

Survey Of Structure Finds Building
in Good Condition

The Wesley Collegiate Institute
building at Dover, due to reopen
September, 1912, has withstood
nine years of idleness with COM
paratively little deteriorating eff
feet, according to a report of a
committee following days survey
of the structure. The Rev. DR..
John ]. Bunting, promotional edu-
cation director of the Peninsula
Methodist Conference and former
district superintendent of the Sal
isbury Methodist District, announc-
ed the findings of the committee
this week. The walls of the build
ing, which, with campus and recre-
ational ground, occupies the entire
block, were found to be in remark
ably good condition, but numerous
improvements in the interior will
be necessary. DR.. Bunting said
that a small amount of re-painting
of the walls will be necessary
where leaks have occurred, but
only one loose brick was discovered
in the entire exterior. The plaster
ing, he added, is in excellent condi-
ton. The plan is to clean and
scrub the building within thorough
ly anS repair and scrape floors
wherever needed. The plumbing
will have to be given attention and
the lavatories improved, with con-
siderable tiling to be done. These
parts of the building will be made
attractive as well as completely
sanitary. The woodwork of the
structure will have to be repainted
inside and out, according to the
committees report. Floors will be
scraped, sanded, and shellacked,
New equipment will be required for
the scientific, music, and CONNER
cial departments.

USE INHALATOR
FOR FIRST TIME
InhaIat0r Used to Save Life
of Boy at Woodland
Beach Sunday
COLLAPSES ON BEACH

For the first time since it was
purchased last fall, the inhalator
belonging to the Citizens Hose
Company was used Sunday to save
life, and was summoned the very
next day to perform the same mis-
sion. The scene of both accidents
occurred at Woodland Beach, to
which place the inhalator was rush.
ed in one of the cars belonging to
a fireman. Francis McCarey, Jr,
age four, was carried unconscious
from the water Sunday by an un-
identified woman. The child's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Carey,
Philadelphia, were unaware of the
boys danger, although they were
on the beach at the time. The
father applied artificial respiration
until the arrival of the inhalator, in
the hands of Wilson FAIRIES, Harold
Hufschmidt and Julian Stats, and
the child was quickly revived. The
Smyrna American Legion Ambul-
ance, driven by Grant Garis, was
called, and the boy was taken to
Kent General Hospital, Dover,
where he was treated for shock and
released. The second accident at
Woodland Beach on the following
day occurred when William Miller
4S, of Claymont, dropped dead on
the beach after swimming from a
boat anchored short distance
from the shore. Both artificial
respiration and use of the inhalator
failed to revive Miller, though the
firemen worked one hour and a
half. According to a fishing party
nearby, Miller was working aboard
the boat when he apparently lost
his footing and fell into the water
