Prehistoric Armor
Of Eskimos Coes
To Museum
ESKIMO FROM CAPE
PRINCE OF WALES
BEING SENT—POINT
OF ORIGIN FOUND—SEV
MOUNDS OF LATER DATE
(By The Associated Press i
WASHINGTON, D. C., <AP)—
A shipment of ancient Eskimo
armor, worn in battles in prehis
toric Alaska, thousands of years
ago, along with many articles of
household use unearthed in the
"Far” North are now installed
here, the National Geographic
Society has announced.
The shipment includes much
that adds greatly to the myster
ious history of Alaska in the
times before white men began to
jot dowh history the Geographic
says. Plans are now being made
to exhibit the discoveries here.
The relics of prehistoric “civil
ization” were unearthed during
last summer near Cape Prince of
Wales, westernmost point of the
North American continent by a
joint expedition of the Geogra
phic and the Smithsonian Institu
tion under the direction of Henry
B. Collins, Jr., of the Smithson
ian. Chief assistants were James
Ford, of Louisiana State Univer
sity and Harrison Pridle of Wash
ington, D. C.
Bone for Armor
The party found weapons, tools
and household articles which had
“■ been preserved for centuries in'
the perpetually frozen Alaskan j
soil and which furnish valuable j
new knowledge of two ancient j
Eskimo cultures of Alaska and
All in many gaps in the history of
the ancestors of the modem Es
kimo.
The armor, which was uncover
ed in mounds of ancient rubbish
accumulated over long periods
from villages long since abandon
ed, was made of slats of bone,
the Geographic says, and is sim-!
ilar to the slat armor used by
jscme Asiatic tribes.
Also discovered were harpoon
and arrow heads, fish lines of
whalebone, fragments of clothing
cooking utensils, combs, awls,
needles, ceremonial masks and
j even toys. The toys, officials said,
I are most interesting, being carv
[ed out of bone in minute imita
tion of boats and animals.
Find Point of Origin
The mounds were of good size,
the expedition reported, one of
them being eight feet in depth.'
The digging process was extreme j
ly slow it was said, because the,
frozen soil thawed only a few
inches each day.
The archeologists are believed
by the Geographic to have un
covered the first site of the old
Eskimo “Thule Culture" ever to,
be found in Alaska. Thule culture
was a stage of development just
prior to the civilization reached
when white men first found the
Eskimos. It is characterized
pretty definitely by certain types
of tools, weapons and art objects
Geographic officials explained.
Thule culture spread over the
entire Arctic as far east as Green
land,and while it has been known
for some time to have existed in
those regions, the new finds, the
Geographic thinks, confirms the
important archeological fact that
it spread eastward from Alaska.
Strangely enough, the Society
points out, many of the proofs of
this anciemt culture were found
in a mound previously uncovered
by Dr. Diamond Jenness of the
Museum of Canada, first explorer
to make systematic excavations
in Alaska.
More Recent Mounds
e In the mound Mr Jenness had
abandoned the expedition dug up
evidence that Thule Culture was
derived from a still earlier stage
of life known as Birnirk Culture.
This Birnirk age, according to
the Geographic report, once flour
ished in the region surrounding
Point Barrow.
In successive layers downward,
the expedition's excavators found
arrow heads gradually changing
from the Thule style to that of
the Birnirk type. Two miles

from this mound, the archeolog

Near Walla Walla
Murdered Today
(By Tne Associated Press*
WALLA WALLA, April 23rd—
Frank Dooley, aged 46, a wealthy
farmer and member of a pioneer
family, was found dead Thursday
in the garage of Marvin Evans,
on a ranch seven miles northeast
of here. Upon examination it
was determined that bullets were
fired at close range from a thirty
eight caliber revolver, and had
entered the temple, abdomen and
chest. Deputy District Attorney
E. W. King said that none of the
bullets could have been self in
flicted. He was dead several hours
when found, after failing to ap
pear home. Dooley owned the
ranch at Prescott and farmed by
Evans, to which place he had
gone Wednesday night.

OSHAWA, April 23—The strik

Perkins cautiously remarked some
time ago that the legality of the
sit down strike had yet to be de
termined.
j And you can find many a New
Deal lawyer who will privately
talk your ear off to demonstrate
that the sitdown striker and his
strike usually have as much
standing in the courts as the em
ployer and his property.
Prof. Green says, in his magazine
article, that the case for the sit
down strike “rests upon four
fundamental propositions:
“1. Employes have an interest
in the industrial relations dis
tinct from any property interest
or interest of personality. Such
interest is a valuable one of the
same dignity as that of property
and is given the recognition and
protection of the courts as pro- \
perty.
2. Disputes between employ
ers and employes with respect to 1
industrial relations, invoile econo
mic and political questions out
side the jurisdictions of courts; |
the problems involved are of
such great difficulty administra
tively that courts will not under
take to adjudicate them but will
eave them to other agencies of
government, and to the parties
themselves in the absence of such
agencies.
“3. Courts will not prejudice
the issues between industrial em
ployes by assuming jurisdiction
of differences growing out of the
industrial relation and in no
sense unlawful.”
“Courts have shown no ten
dency to follow the legal philo
sophy of Professor Green. Crises
in sit-down strikes come when a
judge formally orders strikers
out of a pliant. It then becomes
the legal duty of law officers to
evict the strikers. The only rea
son strikers haven't been evicted
in certain conspicuous cases, has
been the unwillingness of officials
to take a course khich would lead
to bloodshed.
