DR.

"I had fine results,” says Dr Hrdlicka, "location of scores of dcac villages with some older sites alotif both the Yukon River and coasts the finding of a hitherto unknown etone industry on the lower an. central Yukon, gathering of man; archaelogical objects, particular!; fossil ivory, which show collective!; a remarkable and rich old cultur with indications of connections dee; into Asia and the American Nortli west Coast.” One of the interesting entries a tlie International Livestock Exhibi tion at Chicago was a litter of hogs 17 in number, which weighed 5,11 pounds at six months of age. PRESIDENT AND FRONT v YARD TYPIFY AMERICA WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Sundays and holidays excepted, Calvin Coo lidge is “at home” to the American people between twelve and oije o’ clock. His front yard, at 1000 Pennsyl vania Avenue, also Is accessible to visitors at any hour of the day. It s the only private lawn in the United States which may be invaded anl trampled on without regard for the feelings of the occupant of the premises. Unlike Other Republic* The President’s daily receptions and the right accorded freeborn Americans to walk unmolested under the portico which shelters his front door, and even peep Into the wln t [flows of the White House parlors, are striking symbols of democracy as practised in the United States and by the head of the nation. They have no counterpart in Republics the world over, and suggest a unique parailox to the almost autocratic authority vested by the Constitution in the nation's executive. Marshal von Hindenburg is by comparison a legendary figure in the popular mind of Germany, and loiter ers in front of the German Whhe House in the Wllhelmstrasse are firmly requested by t lie uniformed patrols to "move on.” It requires a cabinet order to get within hand shaking distance of tile head of ihi (Continued ca lage Three) i AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER SAYS EUROPE HAS FORGOTTEN II HAT l S. 1)11) l\ II ORLD II 1R; SERIOl S THING NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Prime Minister Bruce, of Australia, told the Pilgroms' Club, last night, that Europe has forgot ten all America did during the World War. Eurcpe sees the United States glutted with gold and bent cn holding every country to the lansom, said Bruce. The Prime Minister arrived from England yesterday morn ing. "Knowing America as I do. the misunderstanding in Eur ope with regard to your na tion,” said the Prime Minister. “is to me a matter of deep re gret. “Misunderstanding is partly due to Europe’s failure to ap preciate America’s history, her traditional policy, her demo cratic aspirations and ideals. “Europe still regards herself as the whole world. Europe forgets American money and materials kept the war going until victory was assured. "Europe forgets, too. the de- 1 cisive effect cf America's in tervention. She thinks only that America was enriched at the expense of the Allies.’’ I Shenandoah Widow to Wed j$

The Piesiaent declared that the United States and other countries must be prepared to make the same sacrifices in be half of amity that Washington and the Colonic made to es tablish an independent Amer ica. He declared that the world has been striving toward peace by seeking to lely cn reason rather than force but “wc are in dangei cf slipping back into the old formula. We cannot es tablish a new principal unless we aie willing to make some sacrifices; unless we are will ing to put some courage into our convictions." Speaking for America, Presi dent Coolidge s.ud "We arc strong' enough and brave enough to resist another domination of the World by military spirit through our own independent action."

America’s I.tieic u ill choral singing is being v:v( .1 after a period in which il almost disappeared, asserts Stephen iv.tie' ini. chorus master of tlie friends of Music. Townsend believes that eventually .here will lie in connection with every symphony orchestra in this country a body of singers to lie known us llie symphony chorus. If an orchestra can get a good conductor and adequate soloists for a chorus it can get all the choristers it wants." he said. "Tile regular chorus of tlie Friends of Music num bers approximately 100, but we ul ways have more applications than we can accommodate. Many of them volunteer their services without ask ing pay.” He lliinks it is possible to develop a chorus in tlie same manner as an individual singer, pointing out that Ethel Hayden. Reinnhl Werrenrath. Lambert Murphy, Meller Olcott, Mine. Charles Caliier, Mme. Scliu nianti-Heink, Richard Crooks and a host of other artists of today passed a lot of time Hinging in choruses.

In New York, Commissioner of Correct Ion Frederick A. Wallis reports that it has heen used with good results upon .‘Kill cases studied in the Correctional Hospital on Welfare Island, and Drs. Alexander l.amherl and Frederick Tllney sign a favorable report in the New York Medical Journal {and Record. In Chicago at the same time the Journal of the j American Medical Association counsels caution in the use of the new remedy until it has received a thorough trial under controlled conditions and until j il shall have been considered by the council of the association. The product was rejected in 11121 by the Council of Pharmacy and Chemistry of the asso ciation because of "unknown composition and insuf ficient evidence" of its value. Objection on the source of the unknown nature of the remedy has heen met by the patenting of the preparation by its developer, 1 A. S. llorovitz. Proof of its value in the experi ments under Commissioner Wallis cannot he accepted as linal and conclusive under eighteen months. Society would welcome any specific useful in I meeting the problems of drug addiction. While the number of addicts in I be community is often sen sationally exaggerated, there are no doubt many I of them, and the use of drugs among criminals hue a chapter to itself. But for the typical patient, not I a criminal, often led into the trap by medical use 1 of the drug in illness, it is important that hi? state should he recognized as an illness requiring cure, not an offense requiring punishment. Howevet successful any new specific may prove it can nevet replace, though it might supplement and aid. com j pett-111 care of the patient by a physician who knowi his individual needs.

Humor is America’s only original contribu tion to literature, declares Donald Ogden Stewart, the author, win sug gests more of it as a remedy for the people who take life too seriously. "What’s the use of waiting until one has accumulated his pile before he begins to play?” he asks. “Lot's have a lot of ‘crazy fun’ in acquir ing the significant tilings, even the occasional and figurative 'sock in tha eve’. Don't look for significance in everyi liing.” The humorist is somewhat out of patience with the novelists who see only the dark side of American lite. "We are giving too much atten tion to books about people who ha e no fun.” Stewart concludes. "My Idea of an Amei ican story is one in which the guy lias avgond time. 1 started a serious novel once but li.e hero kept having a better time in I made tilings more troublesome f- r him so I gave it up.” SHOWER FOR MISS BROWN Mrs. Norman Sjursen entertain'd last night with three tables if bridge and a kitchen shower for the bride-to-be.
