DR. HRDLICKA
PASSES AWAY
ILL ONE WEEK
-
I.
Claimed Human Race Came to
America, Via Bering
Strait, Alaska
-—
WASHINGTON — Dr. Ales
Hrdlicka, who came to America
as a Czechoclosakian immigrant
i boy at the age of 13 years and
won world renown as an anthrop
ologist. died Sunday at his (home
here. The scientist, who was 74,
one of the leading exponents of
| the theory that human life did
not exist on the American con
tinent in the prehistoric days,
| died of heart disease after a
I week’s illness.
Many Trips to Alaska
Dr. Hrdlicka made many trips
to Alaska and Russia in support
; of his contention that the first
: inhabitants of the American con
i tinent came from Asia by way of
Bering Strait. He made dozens
| of trips t-< the Aleutians and Si
| beria in ’pursuit of evidence to
‘support-his theory.
Found Human Traces
New finds of human traces on
(tihis continent convinced an ever
! A. J
growing number of scientists that
man lived here at an early pe
riod, possibly 20,000 years ago,
some said. But Hrdlicka did
not retreat an inch from his
original thesis. He saw Alaska
j and the Aleutians as “race nurs
eries” and traced the migrations
eastward to New York.
Stoned and Jeered
1 He was bom in Humiboletz, Bo
j hernia, March 29, 1369. His fa
j ther, a cabinet maker, brought
him to this country when he was
13. Stoned and jeered by street
urchins in New York for his Eu
ropean appearance and unable to
speak English, he spent his first
years here helping his father in
his shop and studying in evening
glasses. He had received an acad
1 any education in Bohemia, main
I ly through the aid of a Catholic
priest.
A Jew in New York, his fam
ily physician, induced him to
prepare for a medical career, and
he received his M. D. in 1892
at the New York Eclectic Col- I
lege. Two years later he was j
graduated from the New York
Homeopathic College.
Practiced Medicine
He practiced medicine a short
time, but circumstances soon
steered him into his career as an
anthropologist. He became an in
terne in the New York State Hos
pital for the Insane in 1894, and
, in 1896 was made associate in
anthropology in the New York
State Pathological Institute. Be
; fore settling down, after he ac
' cepted the latter appointment, he
spent a year in anthropological
study at the medical school and
the school of tanthroplology at
the Sorbonne (University of
Paris), France.
. In 1903 he was appointed as
sistant curator of the division of
physical anthropology at the Na
| tional Museum of the Smithson
| ian Institution, and in 1910 was
made curator of the division.
In his youth he loved outdoor
A Jtu ALAA A A AJ
sports and games, but in his la
ter years lived almost as a re
cluse with his second wife in a
suburban home adjoining Rock
Creek Park. There his diver
sions were gardening, reading ^
and music.

TOO MUCH MAN ^ *
FOR THE ARMY
CAMP LEE, Va. (AP)—Here is
one fellow the Army didn’t have
a suit to fit.
William A. Sackel, Jr., wan$fe3
to get into the quartermasters,
so he told recruiting officers he
was six feet, six inches tall. He
found the longest shirt sleeves
struck him about the elbow,
Army cots were much too short,
the trousers were too tight, the
shoes pinched his toes. 9
The Army gave him an honor
abl edischarge. The tape meaa?
ure showed he as six feet, 10
inches—too much of a man for
the quartermaster corps.
DUCKS STOP TRAFFIC
LONDON AP)—A mother duck
and her family of ducklings stop
ped traffic when the mother es
corted her youngsters from the
grounds of Buckingham Palace
to the lake in St. James Park
for their first swim.
