historic event. Bv that time
the new world had been
populated for several thou
sand years.
“Judging from the recep
tion given the first contin-'
gent of the whites”, ho says,
“what chance would there
have been for a small stray
group of any other people,
and especially one not sup
erior to the native Ameri
cans?
“To leave any trace of
their type, and especially
any plain trace, the Ocean
ic blacks would either have
to reach America in respect
able numbers of both sexes,
which, considering the dist
ances they would have had
to cover and their means of
transportation, appears im
possible, or they would
have had to reach the con
tinent before the Indians
did, which borders on the
fabuious.”
1 he idea of an Australian
colonization is even more
absurd, Dr. Hrdlicka said.
There is reason to doubt
whether Australia itself
was peopled at the time of
the earliest Asiatic coloni
zation of America. If they
came here, how did they
get here? It has been pro
posed that they came along
the shores of Antarctica and
Antarctic islands at a time
when that land was much
warmer than at present.
But to have done so they
would have had to come to
America before there is the
slightest trace on earth of
human beings.
3 GOOD REASONS
FOR HER DIVORCE
Des Moines, la., Jan. 8—
Helen Edwards Eifert of
Des Moines, seeking a di
vorce, told the court the;
other day, “I haven’t seen
my husband since I marri
ed him in 1930.” “Why
not?” the judge asked.“For
three reasons,” she replied,
one year he served in a Ne
braska prison for forgery,
one year at Fort Leaven-1
worth federal prison for au
to theft and now he’s serv
ing a sentence in a Colora
do prison for operating a
confidence game.” Her pe
tition was granted.j
