Doctor Al'cusen declared the diligences in type found in Indians of tbe Ttirious parts of the continent are bt* coming manifest among us today. He ! recognizes people from Maine as typi- j cal of that section of the country, and j says a southerner or westerner dm j be easily distinguished by one familiar . with the types of American people. "Th? fihnripihPQ /if Amprirn nr#> all ! "- ? J red men," Doctor Monsen said. "The ; Eskimos have- flatter noses and oily j Hkins, due to their diet-and the eli- | mate." He found corresponding differences j f amOng the Indians of the Eastern j ceast, the West, Mexico and other I parti Off the country, but other indica- j tiOBt prove the distinguishing char- j acteristlcs were the product of food, ! environment and methods of living.
