"The ancient Inhabitants of the Bering Sea coasts and Islands who developed the 'fossil Ivory culture' reached a degree of Industrial drXerentatlon and' art so high that we have nothing to compare with them In America except. among the more highly developed tribes of the Northwest Coast and those of Mexico, Yucatan and Peru" Is the way he sums up the matter. "We cannot be sure yet who thes people were." said Dr. Hrdllcka. "though It Is probable that they were the ancesters of the present Eskimo or Indian or both. However, 'there seems to be a distinction between their art ind that of the Eskimo of today. The outstanding characteristic of the for mer is their mastery of form and line in curves; of the present day Eskimo It is the geometric design, with the drawing and carving of animals In their natural form. "This might indicate that some other people were responsible for the older culture. But when we examine tae skeletal remains, there Is no Indica tion that any other , people except Eskimo and Indian lived In these re gions at any period thus far represented In the collections. EXTENSIVE AREA "The area over which evidences of the old culture are fouud Is very 'extensive. Traces of it are found 'far down the American coasts.' But It is not certain that It wai) actually practiced everywhere along these coasts. In those parts of the world one' of the most striking phenomenon Is the evi dence of extensive trade carried bn in mplements and other cultural objects.

Members of the House of Common who can't xng are at a disadvantage. roiiuciana can no longer git oj many of their constituencies on lengthy speeches on the coal situation and the land problem. Crowds, which desert '.hi cinema to hear a spell binder, de mand entertainment. While the voters do not actually level guns at the feet of tbe spellbinders and shout "Sing, sing." they do almost as bad. After the speaker has had a Uttle fling on political problems the crowd (at provincial gatherings begin to clamor for a song. It used to be that polltl Clans took their wives or daughter or paid entertainer with them to sing But that doesnt go anymore. The British like to hear politicians try to rtxg. They have learned this from the Welsh, whose politicians can all alng. and sing pretty well. Even Lloyd George Is not above breaking Into song, and the Laoor M.P." from Wales are many of them so good their octette has been offered professional engagements in the raosle halls. Crowds even specify the song they want their parliamentarians to sing, "The Froth Blowers' Anthem" Is now the reigning favorite. Candidates and House members of sll parties are taking singing lessons In an effort to meet this extraordinary demand on the part of the voter. Sir Austen Chamberlain has not yet broken into song, "tout Sir Harry Brit-tain, Conservative member for Acton, often sings "John PeeV to the delight of his political gatherings. British political gatherings are not the sober, reserved affair that Brl tinners might be expected to stage. Men and women of all parties Join In the heckling.
