'.TEETH OF INDIANS SHOW j<
ANCESTORS CAME FROM ASIA, •
MINNEAPPOUS.—The American; i
i Indian, the orphan of mankind, soon j
a may trace his ancestry back to Asia
, through the efforts of PProfessor ,
George A. Montelius, University of
Minnesota, who finds his historical!
.material in the teeth of the aborig
ine.
Professor Montelius, back from hia
. studies on the plains of the Dakotas,
> declared that the teeth of the early
. American Indian are almost identical
with those of the Mongols of Asia.
Ancient skulls found by excavations
on the prairies were compared with
, Mongolian skulls by the Minnesota
, professor, who said “the teeth and
general jaw development were virtu
ally the same as those of the peoples
, of .Central. Asia, whereas they differ
in m%ny respects from the teeth for
mation and the jaw bones of the
white race; the most important differ
ence .being that the teeth of the In
dians do not overlap as do the teeth
. o£ white men,, but meet on edge.
.“The Indians had wonderfully de
veloDed teeth.” Professor Montelius
continued, “there being virtually, no
signs;of decay in any of the skulls
that I. studied. One peculiar feature
of - .those skulls, not ordinarily found
in others, was the small bone at the
. back.of the head for the attachment
of the-jaw muscles. The Indians had
. wonderful bone development. The
jaws were enormous.”
By studying the teeth it was found
. that'.- the principal diet of the plains
Indian was men.* with some fish to
balance the meal. Small grain, rice
. and corn were added,in season.
The red man from this region was
a giant, apparently* as .was indicated
by the length of thd thigh bone. He
and the Indians < of . Patagonia, inj
South America, the; scientist said,
were no doubt the biggest men of the |
New World.
ATTORNEY general is less
TALKATIVE THAN HIS CHIEF
\ WASHINGTON.—There is one man
in official life in Washington beside
whom Calvin Coolidge is garrulous, a
veritable gossip. His name is John
Garibaldi "Sargent, and his title is At- t
orney General of the United States, s
iVhen he and Mr. Coolidge get to
gether the silence is said to be deaf- <
;ning. j i
Sargent, long, lean and craggy, 1
;ook charge of the Department of (
rustice at a time when that Depart- *
nent needed a long period of quiet 1
ind absence from the front page. 1
For two years it had been hammered;
from pillar to post, in Congress and , 1
the press, and it yearned for quiet. :
[f it didn’t bring anything else to the
Department, Sargent did bring quiet, j 1
One of his first rules was that no !
employe of the Department should be j
;aught conversing with a minion of
;he press on pain of instant decapita
tion. He directed that all newspaper
men be directed to him when making
inquiries about the Department.
Whereupon he retired to his office 1
and refused to see inquirers.
The result of all this is that you
.■an walk into the Department of Jus
tice today and say to the elevator
starter:
“Good morning; nice day, sir?”
The starter will look carefully
around, and if he doesn’t see the
lanky figure of the A. G. camouflag
ing himself as a pillar, he may reply
nervously:
“I can’t say; you’ll have to see the
Attorney General for all informa
tion.”
If, perchance, he should see one of
the pillars move, he won’t even say

hat. He will just preserve a haughty

Mr. Sargent has many critics in
Congress. Occasionally they break
orth and charge that Mr. Sargent
tas never done anything else but be
juiet since he assumed control of the
ederal prosecution machinery. He is
rom Vermont, and he and Mr. Cool
dge are close friends.
The Attorney General is said not
,o be enamored of his job. It is gos
siped in the inner circles of Wash
