While this type of culture has been known, especially in Greenland and central Canada, Mr. Collins' latest expedition con firms the theory that this ancient culture spread eastward from Alaska.

He went to New York from the Middle West to help announce the World Series; and after his first appearance on the air the inner circles of the broadcasting business were running around in circles applauding his performance. Without any doubt he was the tops, so far as that type of broadcasting was concerned. Time has proved that he's just as good when it's football that he is talking about.

Only Sixth of Inch Long. Althoueh even the largest of these larvae are only a sixth of an inch of an inch long and a twenty-fiftin diameter, both scientists work at the same specimen at the same time. The oneratine table is a small elass laboratory dish, and the two biologists work with hollow glass fineneedles, drawn out to hair-lin- e ness. Each man watches through a double - barreled microscope. With the needles they pluck up the rudi mentary "buds" of organs which have been dissected out of one larva, and inject them into the body of another. The "host" larvae, with their added transplanted organs, are then placed in an incubator and kept at a temperature of 77 degrees Fah renheit for four or five days, during which time they transform themselves first into pupae and then fruit-flieemerge as Transplanted Organs Grow. Some of the transplanted organs. of course, are never of any use to the insect that has acquired them.

On the other hand, transplanted ovaries often successfully make connection with a female insect's apparatus, and these then function quite as well as the owner's original pair.

But certain tissue transplantation work, of value in studying these principles, has hitherto been possible only with larg er but less understood animals, like insects, fishes and frogs. n i l- o, Chanhu-dar- o had homes of burnt brick, and the brick was just about like modern brick In size. The houses bad bathrooms and drains that are pronounced superior to the sanitary arrangements In cities of other civilizations of their time. The people were industrious at many lines of skilled labor. They made toys for children of cities around the country. They were workers In bronze and copper.

It Is only within three years that the Indian government has changed Its law, to permit outside universities and archeological organizations to dig in this region. The Indus valley, where Chanhu-dar- o stood, had its trouble with floods, like Ur of the Chaldees and many another ancient town. The field director of the expedition, Ernest Ma ckay,. finds that at least three 'great floods attacked the city. After such a flood, the people were forced to leave the place entirely, and in some sequences of the city's history debris pile over the abandoned ruins before settlers came to re build. After the Harappa culture, as the oldest civilization at this site is named, there followed a people of about 2000 B. C. who lived in mat ting houses, and had only rough paving under their feet. These people made great quantities of pottery which archeologists hope will shed more light on the migraions and trade relations of their era.
