ANCIENT NORTHERN RACES
The discoveries of Dr. Alex Hrdlicka, anthropologist
from the Smithsonian Institution, who again is returning to
Alaska to excavate the sites of ancient villages, have a thrill
ing interest for the public.
Instead of a new country, with a history beginning with
the arrival of the Russians less than two centuries ago, the
coastal region of Alaska is revealed as the route taken by
ancient tribesmen in their march from Asia.
Kodiak Island, off the southern coast of Alaska opposite
the volcano Mount Katmai, was a favorite resting place for
the migrating people. Dr. Hrdlicka assumes they traveled
in skin boats and after negotiating the passages in the Aleu
tians. found a welcome haven.
Excavations on the site of one village of unknown anti
quity show the first arrivals to have possessed considerable
skill in making weapons and utensils. The implements bur
ied in their ancient village show a higher culture than that
possessed by their successors, the Aleuts.
Intensely practical persons will see no value in the
study of pre-historic peoples. Their craftsmanship might
be admired but would contribute no useful knowledge to
modern man.
Until the history of the human race which has wander
ed over the face of the earth has been pieced together, the
value of fragments of information cannot be estimated. Sites
of pre-historic villages are a constant challenge to science.
To Dr. Hrdlicka, Alaska is as interesting as Yucatan or
Egypt.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
“Did you ever stop to think that your newspaper is val
uable to you not only because of the news it contains, but be
cause of the advertisements it brings to you ? In fact, the
best news you will find in your paper are the ads because
they affect you and your pocketbook more than anything
else you will read there.
“A gripping murder or kidnaping story will interest
you, but what does it bring you from the monetary angle ?
The most intelligent buyers today are those who read the
advertisements. They know beforehand what they want
and they know where they can buy it to the best advantage.
Merchants who fail to realize that fact find cobwebs on their
shelves and a deserted atmosphere about their counters.
“Naturally the writer believes newspaper advertising
the best medium because it reaches more people in perman
ent form, but any kind of advertising is better than sitting
behind your desk waiting for the customer to decide to try
your store.
“Read the ads as you read the news and you get a com
bination of entertainment, information and education.’’
Mummified human found in London saloon believed to
have been there half a century. That’s what comes of wait
ing for the house to stand one.

66Victims” Extort
Millions In Rogns
Accident Claims
Racketeering (accident victims),
who extort millions of dollars an
nuually from automobile owners,
private citizens, property owners
and insurance companies are revea
ed in all thejr nefarious operations
in (Emergency Call), RKO-Radio
action film coming to Dream theatre
with Bill Boyd, William Gargan and
Wynne Gibson, tonight, at 7:30 P.M.
The film demonstrates how the
gutter-flopper plies his remarkable
trade. The gutter flupper and his
accomplice stand at the curb of a
busy thoroughfare watching traffic
until they see a promising car ap
proach. Just as the automobile is
passing, the gutter-flopper dexter
ously steps against a mud guard and
allows himself to be tossed to the
street. The accomplice starts an
outcry. A crowd gathers. Someone
summons an ambulance.
The owner of the car stops, of
course, horrified at the accident. Be
wildered by the accusations the ac
complice hurls at him, and much up
set by the adroitly emitted wails of
the supposedly injured man, he in
structs the ambulance driver and
surgeon to give the man the best of
care. Later, his concern for the in
jured man is used against him as an
admission that he was responsible
for the accident. Sometimes the
case comes to trial. More frequently
the unapprehensive car owner set
tles out of court if the gutter-flop
.per is successful in faking vague
internal injuries.
