eastern Siberia and that on the
Alaska side it reached up to Point
Barrow, which is the northermost
point on the American contin.
ent. We are now extending the
work to Point Barrow in an effort
to find out more exactly the rela
tion between the old Bering Sea
culture and the ancient Eskimo
culture called Thule, which some
centuries ago existed in the vic
inity of Hudson Bay in northern
Canada.
“The Thule culture was closely
related to that of Alaska, being
in fact an offshoot of the old Ber
ing Sea culture. We hope to clear
up in a more detailed way the j
relationship between the two thru
excavations in the vicinity of
Point Barrow, in which work Mr.
Ford is now engaged.
“An interesting side result of
our last year’s expedition was the
discovery on St. Lawrence Island
of the fossil leaves and wood of
the sequoia or giant red wood,
which is at present restricted to
California. The presence of fossils
of such huge trees on this now
barren sub-Arctic island is re
garded by paleontologists as fur
ther evidence of an early land
connection between Asia and Am
erica.
“Over this land bridge many
mammals such as bison, horses,
mammoths, mastadons, and camels
passed back and forth from one
continent to another. But this was
mostly during the Tertiary period,
millions of years ago, and it is
somewhat doubtful whether man
figured in this migration, even in
the later stages of it which took
place during the Pleistocene or
Glacial period.
“More likely man—that-is the
Indian—entered America at Ber
ing Strait after the subsidence of
this land connection and soon af
| ter the recession of the ice sheet
| that covered the northern part
i of the continent during the Pleis
tocene period.
“Man’s arrival in the New World
should probably be placed there,
fore at somewhere between 10,000
j and 20,000 years ago. As for the
i Eskimo, all the evidence points to
j a still later entry, long after the
j Pleistocene land bridge had dis
j appeared not more than 5,000
| years ago.” —U. S. Daily

Col. O. F. Ohlson, manager of the

Jack Lincke has gone for an
outing to the Susitna Valley. With
him he took a friend just returned
from New York who is not averse
to such an outing himself, being,
it is understood, not a stranger
to Alaska and these parts. It is
surmised that they went on a dou

not looking for trouble, some of

Matchless economy
with six-cylinder smoothness
“Better than 20 mites to the gallon*99 “its cost-per-mile Is the
lowest of ang ear*99 “Never have to add oil between crankcase
changes*99 “Drove from Ohio to California on a repair expense
of $1*05*" “itInst runs and runs and runs*99
—typical comments from owners of the Chevrolet Sis
Why is it that Chevro
let — a big, powerful,
smooth - running six—
actually costs less to
operate and main
tain than any other
car you can buy ? The
answer lies in five outstanding factors of
Chevrolet economy!
I. Efficient Engine Design makes
Chevrolet fuel consumption so low that
20 miles to the gallon of gasoline is
nothing unusual for a Chevrolet owner.
2* Modem Chassis Design - as
evidenced by Chevrolet*s long heavy
frame, four parallel - mounted
springs, and smooth-running
six-cylinder engine—increases
the ability of the Chevrolet Six
to run dependably, day after day.
3• Excellence of Manu
facture also adds to Chevrolet
dependability and long life.
Chevrolet pistons, for instance,
are built so carefully, and held
true to such close limits of pre
cision, that many
owners have gone
20.000 miles or more
without having their
motors opened for
major servicing.
4* High - Quality
Materials are used throughout the
Chevrolet car—costly nickel steel, chrome
vanadium steels, chrome-nickel steels—
to assure trouble-free, low-cost service for
tens of thousands of miles.
5. Economical Nationwide Serv
ice, with its low flat-rate charges on
labor and genuine parts, is available at
10.000 dealers throughout the country, who
also offer the protection of the
most liberal owner's service pol
icy ever to back a low-priced car.
Remember—in addition to all
these basic economies—Chevrolet
offers the extra dollars-and
cents advantage of one of the low
est delivered prices on the market.
And this cost may be spread
over a period of many months
by the liberal G.M^A.C. plan.
