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

VICTORIOUS
VITALITY
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
The fatalist believes that, regardless
of our best efforts, conditions occur
according to the de-
crees of fate. Fruit-
less are all efforts
to alter that de-
cree, We may as
well accept the In-
evitable without ar-
gument or explana-
tion. If the
crees of fate
thus final and irre-
the only
alternative iswhole-
hearted acquies
cense, But is fa.
talism the true in-
terpretation of val-
ves? Is there not some other ex-
planation of the ills of life? Is a com-
plete surrender to fate the only way

would be near at hand.
A man must either drive his work or
be driven by it. The latter may pro-
duce the fatalist but never the former,

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

Liquid Laxatives
Do You No Harm
—
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you peed not take a
“double dose™ a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liguid laxative irritate
the kidneys
The right liquid laxative will b
a more natural movement, and w
no discomfort at the time, or after-
ward.
The wrong eathartic.may often do
more harm than good.
An approved liquid laxative (one
which is most widely used for both
adults and cf ) is Dr. Caldwell’s

based on senna—a nofurel laxative.
