listed and in every place prc-his
toric items to modern cultural
implements, were obtained; but,
as has been stated, the bulk of
the specimens came from St.
Lawrence. Island. While the col
lection, as above stated, was the
anain point in view Mr. Geist
also collected a splendid variety
of geological specimens, miner
als and ores, for the mines de
partment of the College, as well
as zoological specimens.
RARE SEAL SPECIE
The bird life on St. Lawrence
Island is very well represented
by several hundred varieties suit
able for either mounting or
' scientific exhibition studies. The
animal life is represented by
practically every known specie
| of seals including the almost ,
extinct “Ribbon” seal which hsa ;
stripes ruinning around the body.
Small land mammals were col
lected. Baby seals have been sent
three Arctic white fox and three
baby walrus and sealions. These
latter will be in group mountings.
Several species of fish, pre
served in alcohol, were procured
in Bering Sea, and the insect
life is fairly well represented.
The collecting of these were a
side issue as Mr. Geist carried
on this work to fill in odd time
A special permit from the De
partment of Agriculture permitted
him to collect bird and animal
life without hindrance.
PRE HISTORIC MIGRATION
A new light as to the migra- !
tion of prehistoric races was dis
covered by Mr. Geist in exca
vations last year on the island, j
Implements such as axes made
of granite which very greatly
resembled the work of the North
American Indian, were dug up.
The Eskimos of the island know
of no legend dating bac kany
where near that age but the dis
covery throws, perhaps, an en
tirely new light on progress of
mankind from Asia to North j
America. The scroll work on cul
tural implements are represent
ed by severay well preserved spe
cimens. The scroll work is the
handiwork of real artists, Mr. !
Geist added.
The stone implements are not
of jade but were made on the I
island from the native rock as
chips of granite were found this
year as well as other many brok- I
&n pieces. A fine collection of
native baskets were also obtain- J
cd, from all points in the North,
and these will be turned over to
the home economics department
at the College.
PAINTINGS AND MOVIES
A very valuable collection of ]
water colors, painted by an Es- j
kimo woman on St. Lawrence Is- !
land, were purchased; these de
pict the life of the tribe.
A series of moving pictures!
showing the many ceremonies,
worshiping and idols, all in de
tail, were obtained. The Eskimos
on this island are so-called moon
worshipers. The old superstitions
are still clung to by the old folks
but the younger generation are
rapidly becoming modernized
The Bureau of Education is <
performing a very, wonderful
work among the tribe. Of their
ancient customs, beliefs and sup
erstitions, space does not per
mit at this time to relate in de
tail this interesting phase. An
account will appear in a later
issue.
TRIBE ADOPTS HIM
In 1927 Mr. Geist was adopted
into the tribe with fitting cere
mony and given the name of
of Aghvook, meaning “bow-head
whale.” Years are required to
master the Eskimo language so
Aghvook, though not conversant
to any great extent, understands
it fairly well. After his long res

AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE has cultivated the fertile field of opportunity and invites everyone to roam in search of
desired pursuits. Nothing remains of that ancient prejudice which bound the apprentice, without choice, to his career.
Gone is that ancient prejudice against cigarettes—Progress
has been made. We removed the prejudice against cigarettes
when we removed harmful corrosive ACRIDS (pungent irri
tants) from the tobaccos.
YEARS ago, when cigarettes were made without the aid of
modern science, there originated that ancient prejudice against
all cigarettes. That criticism is no longer justified. LUCKY STRIKE,
the finest cigarette you ever smoked, made of the choicest tobacco,
properly aged and skillfully blended—uIt’s Toasted'*
“TOASTING

the most modem step in cigarette manufacture,
removes from LUCKY STRIKE harmful irritants which are pres
ent in cigarettes manufactured in the old-fashioned way,
Everyone knows that heat purifies, and so “TOASTING"—
LUCKY STRIKE'S extra secret process—removes harmful cor
rosive ACRIDS (pungent irritants) from LUCKIES which in the
old-fashioned manufacture of cigarettes cause throat irritation and
coughing. Thus “TOASTING" has destroyed that ancient preju
dice against cigarette smoking by men and by women.
“It’s Toasted”—the phrase that describes the
extra “toasting” process applied in the manu
facture of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. The finest
tobaccos—the Cream of the Crop—are scien
tifically subjected to penetrating heat at mini
mum, 260°—maximum, 300°, Fahrenheit. The
exact, expert regulation of such high tempera
tures removes impurities. More than a slogan.
