| Summary: | How the Indians came. - Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, noted ethnologist and explorer of the Smithsonian institution, returns from Alaska with further evidence that the Indians descended from Asiatics and came to this continent by way of Bering strait. But he finds that Alaska, although it was a port of entry for the Asiatics who were the forefathers of American Indians, was not peopled until the Americas farther south were inhabited. They landed and passed on to a more congenial climate, manifesting better judgement in that respect than the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed on the stern and rockbound coast of New England and stayed there.
