Deafness Prevalent Among Indians

WASHINGTON, May 11._—Tl1c old Indian warrior, traditionally famed for keen cars that could detect the faintest russle of a lurking enemy in the bushes, actually was often deaf. - Studying old Indian skulls, Dr. Alex Hrdlicka of the Smithoninii In- stitute has found that this deafness affected as much as 30 per cent 0f the Indians over large parts of Can- ada and United States before the coming of the whites and existed us far back as 2,000 B. C. in Egypt.

The deafness was cixuseci by bony, tumor-like growths in the car, which often closed il. entirely.

Dr. Hrdlicka. discovered’ its pre- valence in ancient times through study of thousands of skulls from ancient graves ranging from Peru to Northern British Columbia. It in- cludes a large Percentage aborigines were hard of hearing nnzl many probably were completely; deaf, for flu: growths in some. skulls coni- plctely filled the ear opening.

The 01d skulls reveal the disc apparently was much more prev-ul- ent among ancient peoples than modern whites. IL was first report- ed. in modern times about I00 years ago in Austria and has jinzczlcd physicians ever since,

One theory was that the growths resulted from bathing in sea wai r, but Dr. Hrdlicka found it pir-vnhx most among inland Indians,

Ilunr the less intriguing dist rvs in lite new section of the Royal ‘pull .. Museum which ivas opened to the. public yesterday."

The new section. which traces lln- development of civiliktitinii tlireilgh the Babylonian, I-Jgyptiah, Pnllslm- inn and Rome-Britain 110114105‘ from about 4,000 BC. to 200 A i)., is lo- cated in the renovated old wing of the Museum and has been tleuignnt- cd by line, layout and color tn give an innisually pleasant scLIiIig to the displays.

Large arched rooms radiate from a central section devoted to ‘the old and new stone age, each runm de- volcd to a separate llllliSl‘ of ('i\'iill’.ll- tion. The design 0f each room is dis- tinctive, eliminating "museum fung- ue." Slight differences in the shading of the wall color, in the design of ("is- cs, and in the placing of exhibit." give each room B. distinction without. dis- tracting attention from exhibits to setting, yet. at the same time giving restfulness to the visitor.

The largest display in the seciion is the reproduced interior of the Temple of Hotshepsut, designed in the 18th dynasty. It occupies the walls of an entire room and was re- produced by C. T. Currelly, director of the museum. Figures and hiero- glyphic: tell the story of the expedi- tion to Punt in 1492 BnC. of the merchant ships of Queen Iintshep- sut of Egypt.

Mrs. Herridge Lent Her Wrap

Grattan O‘Leary, a. well known Ol- tawa newspaper man, was in Wash- ington the other day during Pre- mier Bennett's visit. Here is what. he has to say in the Ottawa Jour- nal about the Canadian Legation:

"The Canadian Lcgation appears to be popular, even outside govern- ment circles. On Thursday after- noon Mrs. Her-ridge gave a tea for Premier Bennett, and I don't think I have ever seen such a gathering of the famous. All of Washington appeared to be there, Ministers‘ and plenipotentiaries and cabinet min- lsters and diplomats and people whose names one sees constantly on the front pages of the news papers. Minister Herridge (he seems to be "Bill", or “William" to nearly everybody here) appeared to know everybody and to be every- where at the same time; and he introduced me to so many tremen- dous looking diplomatlsts and ‘their wives as “a famous Canadian jour- nalist” or something of the sort, I almost began to think I was the reincarnation of Delano.

Mrs. Herridge (this is beginning i0 sound like the society pngcl was quite charming, and I thought that one little incident revealed just how genuine is her charm. The wife of one of the Canadian news- papcrmen had an invitation to a reception at the White House that night, but felt she couldnt go be- cause sho didn't have a suitable wrap. “Oh," said Mrs. I-icrridge, "you simply must go, and you may have my wrap," whereupon she disappeared to come back in a. few moments with a. gorgeous looking thing. which the newspapermank wife sported proudly that evening as she shook hands with the Pre- sident.

“Taken all in all Canada secms to be served well at Washington and to be thought of and treated differently by Washington. some- how, in some almost indcfinablc way, we are part of tho family. There are bicker-lugs, to be sure, but they are not the sort of bick- erings that happen when the bick- erings are with some nation in Eu- rope. Geography. as well as blood, does make a difference."

(Mrs. Herrldge is a sister of Pre- mier Bennett and Capt. R. V. Ben- nett of Sackvillc.)

THE STATES REVIVAL

Premier's Optimistic Statement

1n a. speech in February the Pre- mier of New South Wales gave a cheering picture of the P108115‘? made towards recovery since the new Government took office last year. He asserted that although the State was not yet out of its troub- les it was "well within grasping distance of the solution of them.” Since the accession to power. he said. unemployment had been xe- duoed by 35 per cent and the ex- penditure on food relief to the workless was 50 per cent less. largely as a result of the meas- ures adopted, and because of the

fro-operation of Federal and State

Governments and leaders of industry in a reconstructive policy, onc- third of the factory cmployes who had been unemployed since the bc- ginning of the depression had got their jobs back ona pennant basis. The returns showed an Increase of more than l3 percent in the number of factory omployes since June, 1932. In the metal trades the em- ployed increased from 8400 a year ago to 11.200, and there was 1655 rationing. Employees in leading rc- tail shops had increased by 10 per cent. There had been an appreci- able revival of building and prac- tically every official record avail- able showed a. recovery in the half year.

Economy and Enterprise

Mr. Stevens pOillilfid out that one of the factors in the recovery had been reduction in Government ex- penditure of £2,000,000 durin the seven months under review as om- pared with the corresponding per- iod of the previous half year. There had been no artificial stim- ulus, he said, and the improvement had come from sound causes. prin- cipally from closer harmony be- tween costs and prices, reduction or taxes and charges by Govern- ments, and arresting the drift of national finance. There had been a. revival of the spirit of enterprise and a. greater velocity of spending. He had every ground. he affirmed. for definite confidence, so far as expanding trade was concerned. Such a. degree of faith in Australia had been gained that it had been possible to convert a 5 3-4 per cent loan overseas at 3 1-2 per cent. Furthermore. he was satisfied that a further relief from taxation would be possible.

The Light Ahead

With the change of (‘mvernmcnt in New South Walcs last year traders and manufacturers were more disposed to anticdraato for- ward requirements than in the Dorlod of dislocation and uncer- tainty of the previous administra- tion of the Labor Party under Mr. J. T. Lang. Their anticipation were justified. and for some months the best trading season they had had for a long time sol: in. Con- ditions for very favorable, prim- ary production were indicated by good seasonal weather. There have been record wheat harvest, heavy Production in the dairy industry, steady clearances at tho wool sales in Sydney, and the effects reflect- ed in greater transport activity. Confidence was increased by the reduction of unemployment, as stated l/y the Premier in his speeches, which brought further trade recovery.

Subjugaton nf the Cactus Pest

' A great biological control oper- ation is being carried out in the subjugation of the cactus pest in New south Wales and Queensland. Known as the prickly pear, the cactus was brought to New South Wales many years ago for the cochineal insect , which thrives on some kinds. The insects died. but the cactus survived and found the country so much to lts liking that it spread northwards in an amaz- ing manner. Emus and other bird; and animals, driven in from the western country by dry weather. would feed on it. 31nd carry the WW1‘! 1011f: distances, where they would Minx up as by magic. and soon the proportions of the pest became something quiw out; of the Ordinary. By the year 1900 ‘it was estimated that 109001000 acres of land were infested in New South Wales and Queensland, and by 1920 the area was cstima.‘ ‘ at 80,000,000 acres-not much lens than the area 0i’ Great Britain. Every means w" tried of checking the spread. The settlers did nil that was possible. Just before the War n Commission introduced the oochincal insect, which wiped out one kind but did not affect the main pest. That. however. led to further investiga- tion in biological control, with the

result that the cactoblaatic insect was introduced in I925.

The Ravenous Cactobfastis

The Under Secretary for Agri- culture (Mr. G. D. Boss) that the work of the cacboblastis is so effective that 80 per cent of the primary plants In New South Wales have been destroyed. About 3,000,000 acres have been made available in Queensland for culti- vation or grazing. and there are now farms and stations where for

yam was an impenetrable jungle

of cactus that had overwhelmed the lands and in some cases swal- lowed up farm houses. The prim- ary growth killed, succeeding growths have to be coped with, which is done by putting in more cactoblastis, until the growth fin- ally dies out. The Department of Agriculture of New South Wales. which manages the work. consid-

ers it tho greatest instance oi control by introduced insects known. '

DISCOVERY SUPPORTS (XIMMUNITY LEGEND

NORWICH, Eng, May 11. — A strange legend which is said to have given its name to Fiddler's Hill, u spot near Wells-ncxt-Sca, Norfolk, has been to some extent proved to be founded in fact by u. discovery Just made by roadmcn while carry- ing outra. road corner improvement for the Norfolk County Council.

The legend concerns a travelling fiddler and his dog, and an under- ground passagc that is supposed to have connected Walsingham Abbey and Binham Priory, which are in the neighborhood.

The story runs-and it is implicit- ly believed in the neighborhood -- that the fiddler, accompanied by his dog, attempted to explore this tun- nel. The occasion was one of great interest to the villagers round about, and the entry of the fiddler, follow- ed by his dog, into the entrance was watched by many of them. He was soon lost to sight.

As the fiddler penetrated farther into the tunnel he played his fiddle and so enabled the people at the mouth t0 judge of his progress.

At a.‘ certain point the fiddling suddenly ceased, and neither fiddler nor dog reappeared.

Such was the legend. Whilo round- ing off the corner of Fiddler's Hill, the workmen have come upon the skeleton of a man-mud a dog. The bones will bo examined by an ex- pert.

The villagers are now convinced that the discovery confirms the le- gend in every detail.
