PA — M—— THE CENTRE REPORTER. CENTRE HALL, By Charles Sughroe LILY ~ZT OWNS EVERYTHING, d Al Scientists Find Skeletons on Kodiak Island. Washington.—Evidence of a prehls- toric “massacre” on desolate Kodiak island, Alaska, at a time when It was inhabited by an unknown race of ad- vanced culture, was uncovered this summer by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology of the Smith- sonian Institution, who has just re- turned to Washington. This was the sixth expedition of Doe- tor Hrdlicka to Alaska, and the third summer he has conducted extensive ex- cavations on this site, which in some respects probably represents the high- est aboriginal art in North America north of Mexico, although there ig as yet practically no clew to the exact identity of the people who developed it or brought it from Asia. “Nest Burials” Puzzle. In past years Doctor Hrdlicka has been puzzled by what he terms “nest burials,” where a number of skeletons would be found together, of all ages and both sexes and without. any of the | customary mortuary offerings which the ancient people ordinarily placed In graves. The clew came with the discovery that many of the skeletons had cracked gkulls and other evidences of combat. This is a strong indication that they were not wiped out by some epidemic and justifies a picture of a village mas- sacre from which a few escaped, to re turn later and bury their dead In heaps. Assisted by volunteer college students, Doctor Hrdlicka was able to five —————— — Aid in Housing hb} askan Race make substantial progress this sum- mer Io uncovering the remains of the old settlement—apparently the “metroy- olis” of the bay on which it is located in the days when the island was an important center of population.

ING TOGETHER PIECES OF COMMON ONES HAS i VICTORIOUS VITALITY By LEONARD A. BARRETT The fatalist believes that, regardless of our best efforts, conditions occur according to the de- crees of fate.

A man must either drive his work or be driven by it.

The buttons are of tortoise shell. The bright green scarf is worn twisted at the neck. From Dilkusha, him, he sees no way out but suicide, so the fatalist commits mental and spiritual suicide. The man who drives his work, however, substitutes for the law of surrender the law of control A sudden calamity will either par nlyze us or urge us on to “"vaster is sues” Much has been written about Theodore Roosevelt's “second wind” He never recognized defeat and the word failure was not in his vocabulary. This same philosophy of life which substitutes control for acquiescence is very greatly needed in the depression experiences through which many peo- ple are passing. Acquiescence kills pride, lowers the “morale” and makes one a prey to many of the false social theories rampant today. Control creates a victorious vitality which refuses to be mastered by out- ward conditions. Instead of surrender- ing to fate It uses every unfortunate experience as a means to higher ends, The loss of money may lead to the conviction that “life does not consist in the abundance of one's possessions” and that life should be counted by heart throbs and not dollars in a bank. Using misfortune for higher ends creates values which we may never have thought existed. An entire new world has been opened up to many who refused these days to surrender to the irony of fate. Victorious vitality may come to everyone who uses misfortune As a “stepping stone to higher things” and who hears, “A deeper volce across the storm,” ©.
