L SYMBOL USED IN KIDNAP NOTE DR, A, HRDLIGKA COMES NORTH T0 TRAGE INDIAN Emment Anthropologist Says Red Men Cross- ed Bering Sea (Continued 1rom Page One) they came across Bering and moved south, and the is that they came from the h Seas to South America and spread north. Dr. HrdlicKa's studies and re- gearches have persauded the great- er part of scientific opinion to t the Bering Strait theory. chool of anthropogists that to the belief that natives South Seas or of the Japan- e swept by storms accident- the coast of South America om there covered all South, Central and North America comes m conflict with one stubborn fac at refutes the theory, as: Dr Hrdlicka Conditions Years Ago Indians were present in America long before the natives of the Seas or of Japan were suf- 1aly advanced to invent the simplest navigable craft. Indians were in America 10,000 or more b @ago, and at that remote period neither South Sea Islanders ¢nor Japanese natives were hollow- ‘m,»; out logs or making rafts that would carry human beings with |supplies of food or fresh water. On a log, without food or water, par- ticularly water, no human creature |could survive an ocean drift lasting |several weeks at least. The South Sea or Japan theory is preposter- |otas. | The Bering Strait idea is plaus- |ible. . Between the Asiatic Coast |and the Diomede Islands in Bering | Strait, the distance is slightly more than 20 miles. Between the I)iomedes nad the American Coast {the distance is also slightly more |than 20 miles. Islands Plainly Visible From either the Asiatic or the American side the Diomedes are inly visible on clear days. Asiat- iics, tempted to explore land they could ses, would be able to cross |the straits on either logs, crude rafts or in primitive skin boats. No supplies of food or fresh water would have to be carried. Also the trait freezes over. Asiatics could walk to the American side. Thousands of years ago, just as today, the inhabitants on both sides the Strait inter-traded, inter- married, had much the same lan-' zuage, wore much the same style of clothes and had much the same ustoms. In the course of years—thou- |sands of years—parties of Indians migratnd south, formed settlements, | along the coast of Alaska and |along inland rivers, reached what lis now British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest States, and grad- |ually made their way to all parts' » y | science. 5 globe.

A native of {Cape Prince of Wales on the Am- erican side of Bering Strait and a native of Tierra Del Fuego at the extremity of South America are sufficietly alike to impress a child with the fact that both are In- dians.
