SCIENTISTS OBTAIN " PRMITIVE FLNS Remote Australia Is Stil Habitat for Stone Age ¢ Man, Uncivilized. By the Associated Press. SYDNEY, Australia, January 10.—In remote Australia, untouched by civiliza- tion, man still exists in the stone age. A few years more and the opportunity he presents for sclentific study will probably have gone. Under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute and at the invitation of the | Australian Scientific Research Associa- tion, a party headed by Dr. Porteus, {professor of racial physics of the Uni- | Versity of Hawali; Dr. Paul Withington of Honolulu, and Raiph King, a pho- | tographer, by penetrating inland from the far northwest coast of the conti- nent, have obtained more than 25,000 feet of extraordinarily valuable films and a mass of data. The natives were shy and hostile, and goveral times spears were thrown at the party, but no serious opposition was met. Great difficulty was encountered in coming into contact with the natives, but films of high scientific value were | obtained, mainly at Osborne Island. Here the party succeeded in winning over a native, through whom _they gradually won the confidence of the inhabitants, who had taken to the bush, but who drifted back in bunches and | dropped their weapons as a sign of friendship. Mr. King, who has been on many ex- peditions and who has studied the cus- toms of the natives of Tibet, Africa, China and Peru, says never before was he so fascinated, and often he beccame so interested that he forgot to operate his camera. The expedition also made a | large collection of native birds, animals | and reptiles for scientific purposes. In Western Queensland the expedition came to an unfortunate conclusion | when Dr. Withington'’s hand was_poi- #oned by a piece of rusty wire. Under the greatest difficulties, he was rushed | by air and rail 2,500 miles to Sydney | for special treatment. His life was | saved, but he was on the point of death | soveral times en route. - TUSKEGEE LEADER CLASHES WITH SMUTS| Remark Likening Negro's Patience | | to That of the Ass Is Explained | by Scuth African. i By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 10.—A remark | by Gen. Jan Christiaan Smuts, South African leader, that the Negro was, | “next to the ass, the most patient of animals” last night drew a request for #n explanation from Dr. Robert Rosso | Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute. | ‘The exchange occurred at a meeting | in Town Hall, where Gen. Smuts was | one of the speakers. He made the re- | mark in describing the Negro's fortitude | under hardships. i Dr. Moton rose and said the general's | words “cut like a two-edged sword | Ahrough the heart of every Negro in this audience.” Gen. Smuts replied: i “I used those words, Dr. Moton, in: the spirit of admiration. I have all} yespect for the patience of the Negro, race. I think that it is something that | wve white people might learn from the | Negroes. We would be much happler if | e did.” | - { Directions Given | - For Capturing Big " Pacific Leviathans, Crew of Motor Ship Usesi Sand Barrage to Catch Three Sea Elephants. By the Associated Press.
