ARCTIC TRIBES OF PREHISTORIC DAYS HAD ART Scientists Find Carved Relics and Articles Unknown Today. Bn Science Sen ire WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—New evidence of man's prehistoric life in the Arctic has been dug out of the frozen ruins of a very large Eskimo settlement -on St. Lawrence island in the Bering sea by Henry B. Collins Jr., archeologist of the Smithsonian institution, and G. Herman Brandt of Cleveland. St. Lawrence island and the Diomede islands in Bering strait, may be called the metropolises of the prehistoric Arctic, said Collins, who has returned from his Alaskan expedition. At these two points the people who lived in the north many Centuries ago were especially interested in making their everyday possessions and ceremonial objects beautiful with fine carving. Here, too, ceremonials, the foundation of the social life, flourished judging by the quantities of carved ivory objects found. Found Many Relics Digging into the stiffly frozen refuse heap of the ancient village, Mr. Collins and Mr. Brandt unearthed ivory and bone harpoons, meat picks, and many strangely shaped carved objects which today have no conceivable use. Holes bored in some of these and the various shapes suggest possible use as caps for ceremonial wands, charms, and personal ornaments, but not even the Eskimos who occupy the same region today and live under somewhat similar conditions can help solve the prehistoric ivory puzzles. There are no such things in the modern Eskimo household. Three successive stages of Eskimo culture are traced in the possessions dug out of the hard earth, and the oldest, most deeply buried objects show the finest and most intelligent workmanship. The layer above this contains articles decorated in less esthetic fashion, and the topmost layer of earth and recent villages contain the craftmanship of modern Eskimos who have lived within the past 300 years and have forgotten the painstaking skill and the love of design that their distant ancestors had. It all show r s, Collins points out, that the Eskimos white men never met were of a higher state of culture than the Eskimos of today. Lived 1,000 Years Ago The age of the most ancient Eskimos never may be determined, but at a rough guess they may be said to have lived at least 1,000 years ago. “It is becoming evident beyond doubt,” the archologist stated, “that the oldest articles found represent the most ancient Eskimos in the world and they are older than the Eskimos of Central Canada and Greenland. Somewhere on the shores of northern Alaska or eastern Siberia some members of the Asiatic race adapted themselves to the Arctic conditions and here appeared the tyoical Eskimo.” Skulls of the oldest Eskimos have not yet been found, but the expedition has brought back skulls of the later prehistoric stage of Eskimo culture.

BOULDER DAM POWER SPLIT IS CONTESTED Congressman Will Ask U. S. to Operate Plant or Adjust Division. i [tn Scrivps-Hotcard Xcicxpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Interior j Secretary Wilbur will be asked to revise his plan for disposing of Boulder dam power, it was indicated today. Protests against his decision will be made from a number of quarters. They will be heard Nov. 12 and signing of the contracts may

be delayed until some of the com- j plaints, at least, have been adjusted. 1 Representative Phil Swing, author of the Boulder dam bill, expressed dissatisfaction with three points of the secretary’s decision today. particularly with his announcement that the federal government will not equip and operate the Boulder dam power plant. Swing still hopes the secretary may be induced to let the federal government operate the plant and wholesale power at the switchboard. This would be a much more flexible operating arrangement, he argued, and would save power consumers the difference between 7 and 4 per cent interest on the investment. If the government is not to operate the plant, private power companies are given too large a share in its management by the Wilbur plan Swing feels. Wilbur announced that contracts for power must provide for a board of control to "act with” Los Angeles and the metropolitan water

i district in operating the plant. He ■ plans that one member shall represent the federal government, two | the metropolitan water district and two the power companies. Swing believes that if there is to j be such a board, power companies, who receive only one-fourth of the power, should have only one-fourth of the representation. The amount of power reserved for small cities is not great enough, Swing feels, and he will ask that this be increased. Wilbur reserved 4 per cent of the power for cities that have filed application for small quantities. Nevada is dissatisfied with the 18 per cent power allocation she has j been given, and also with the ruling that all power the state gets must be used within its own borders, not resold.
