INDIANS ALL OF SAME RACE
Differences in Type No Greater Than
Among the Whites, According
to Scientist.

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 !

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.
Mentioning the treatment the n?d j
men have received from the whiter j
Poetor Monsen said: "The Pilgrims i
debarked ob Plymouth rock and fell j
* unon their knees. Then thev fell UDOn I
the aborigines and we've been fsjling

Any Eventuality to

V I ~
' ,.At Trengganu (Malay Peninsula)
the. native sultan welcomed me and
* I ^pent several days with him, telling
hfth What was happening in the world j
and discussing his problems. The i
problems were- largely financial. He '
owea some money, ana, snowing mat i
be' had something in the treasury, 1 |
4 asked why he did not pay his debts, j
' \ . lie thought for a time and then re- j
pilled: "Well, I'll tell you. If 1 pay j
those people, they will forget about ,
the sultan of Trengganu. If 1 don't j
pay them, they'll never forget me."
2 The conversation turned to the sub- i
jict of prisoners. On my way to the j
Palace 1 had passed the cages where j
the prisoners were kept. Many of \
them were starving to. death, for unless
their friends or family eared for
t&em they got no food.
| "Why don't yo? > feed them?" I
asked.
t "Why shouid 1?" he ieplied. "If I
feed t?em, my whole country will want !

! Point of Honor.
' - Samuel Cntermyer, the brilliant New j
York lawyer, who probed the building j

honor:
j r "Business men are honorable; or |
V they don't get on. Even big business j
J men are honorable. - Of course, few !
. business men are as punctilious about |
a point of honor, though, as Honest
John Jones was.
"Honest John Jones, you know, I

Koguchi's recent discovery of the
