SUCH IS LIFE—The Rubber Snake Bt oiari.es sughroe vooM*rrir Gives Partial Answer to t" r Biological Race Enigma Scientist Measures Bones and Discovers Link. Washington, D. C.—Knots tied in the threads of life as they stretch from generation to generation con stitute a partial answer to the bio logical enigma of race. Such is the conclusion of Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution, from the study of many thousands of hu man and animal skeleton remains in the coUection of the national mu seum. Biological measurements, Dr. Hrdlicka explains, tend to arrange themselves in normal distribution curves. The greater the number of FOR CLAMOUR l that all human races and types be long to one and the same species. Quite different is the result, Dr. Hrdlicka finds, when one plots the form or shape of different parts of the body, or even of the body as a whole, of thousands of specimens. One is no longer able to get a uni form distribution curve but a curve in which there are various nodes, or points of aggregation. These form the focal points of forms or types which differ substantially from each other. This newly discovered phenome non of biological differentiation Dr. Hrdlicka calls “typogeny.” Hither to the ever-present “normal distri bution curve" has been a serious barrier to differentiation of human groups. This barrier is now largely broken down. “This process of typogeny,** Dr. Hrdlicka says, “is apparently of wide biological extension, but is es pecially obvious in man. It is ob servable in probably all the more important and larger organs of the body, and also la the body as a whole. It Is most obvious In the so • called *body constitution.'

BARRETT Three men went to Alaska in the early history of that newly pur chased territory. One, in search of gold; another, a scientist in search of Mother Nature’s secrets; the third, a rep resentative o f that idealism which endeavors to reform human life and build up a new social or der. Immediately upon the dis covery of gold, thousands rushed to the far away and almost unknown country, in the hope of finding their fortune. They endured great hardships. Many suc cumbed to intense suffering. But they got their gold and took it with them. They brought little or noth ing Into the country, but they took away much of its precious metal The second man waa a scientist end explorer. Hie name was John Muir. Ha went to Alaska in lift.

We’ve had glimpses of her through the trees that dip between her house and our study window. So we were dying to go by and get a good look at things. We found that she had bought two new porch chairs—reed with beige cushions—a new green porch rug and a new green slat-type roll awn ing for one side to complement the beige and green striped canvas awning that she already had. She had kept her old wicker settee, mak ing new beige cushions for it, and had brushed up the wicker table to to Ct*fl AT TOT Of WORLD match It Rbr this aha a saw tray, quite a Mg A * * •# tee gtamaua—-eat fee war—<a «■ n dkaom te hsriSw*-^«4- ased atee aas war a chaaMbkAa tea ■sal fimaa af prtaied aatm The teag • i s-qh aavfiad wap «awkgaa tea 4«’ ■ ■'w , 0 gwa a*es a damar deaaa iaa eatere te tea draaa ara atea aad fuefiaaa aa a pate arvaad Created. eparauwa maaaaead tee amaeihec eaw* a carve Ateag teach a carve, races aad ah aatear greece aiwde tee* parcagtehfy atea each ether Iter aa- esapte. d tea teacte af the teaCe haaee af eeery teaaee hecsd aa aarte eeteM ha awaatead aad tea awaateraanaaaa ptected tea raaah wewld aadawteadly ha vary cteaa la aa ahaahrMy aaaaaeh carve.

Gold copper- Copper sheets are now MADE AS THIN AS PAPER AND TO APPEAR. LIKE GOLD- Pleas on monkeys Monkeys rivers and made ether arteatdlc dis cover tee which helped la the geo graphical and physical expunaiao af lha new country Tha third man was a represents- live of organized Christian forraa. His name was S. Hall Young. Ha did not go to Alaska in search of gold or glaciers, but in search of tha hidden inner resources of hu man lives. Ha was interested in moulding high and noble citizen ship. He founded churches and es tablished schools, and in this im portant work encountered more ob stacles than the gold diggers. Ha braved all the adverse conditions that tried the scientist, but he left in the hearts of the people of Alaska an influence which lives today. The world will forget the names of those who took from the soil nuggets of gold. It may forget the name of the scientist. Perchance it may forget the name—S. Hall Young—but the leaven he put into the measure of human life will go on spreading its power to other lives. The reason for this is very simple, yet it will ever remain one of the cardinal virtues of essential living. S. Hall Young took something to Alaska. He went to give something to Alaska, and not to receive a reward. That it is “more blessed to give than to receive” sounds like a trite and fanciful saying. The spirit of our crass materialism interprets as visionary and impracticable any ef fort which seeks first to give before it receives. Tbe history of bonus experience testifies beyoad all doubt that oaly bo who gives first, receives. Service is always the criterion of profit.
