Others who have had occasion to meet and study the Eskimos have been equally flattering in their opinions of the Eskimos. Indeed, there seems to be general agreement on the kindly disposition and the hospitable characâ€" ter of the Eskimos. There has been no such agreement, however, as to their origin. The origin of the Eskimos has for long been the subject of controverâ€" sy among anthropologists. Dr. H. M. Ami, a wellâ€"known Canadian scientist, in the Doaominion service at Ottawa, has recently expressed the belief that the Eskimos originally came from what is ncw known as France. Their residence in France, according to theory, goes back to prehistoric times. Dr. Ami says that during the operations of the Canadian School of Preâ€"History, which he has been directing in France during the past eight years, many thousand specimens of art, pottery, and instruâ€" ments of warfare have been discovered, "which show the same characteristics as mark the work of the Canadian Eskiâ€" CANADIAN SCIENTIST SAYS ESKIMOS CAME FROM FRANCE mo. A skull that was discovered, too, shows identically the same characterisâ€" tics as the Eskimo skull. Dr. Ami‘s theory is that as weather and climate conditions changed, the animals which formed the food, and providéd the clothing and weapons of preâ€"historic man were forced from France, cross Europe, and finally into Northern Canâ€" ada, and many of the human inhabitâ€" ants followed the trail. According to statistics published by the Ottawa auâ€" thorities there are only about 7,000 Esâ€" kimos now living in Canada. Tubercuâ€" losis has taken a heavy toll from the Eskimos in the cases where they have encountered presentâ€"day civilization, soâ€"called.

Sr. Catharine Pritchard, the newlyâ€" installed Worthy Matron, was the reâ€" cipient of gifts and flowers from friends and wellâ€"wishers. In a neat reply she expressed the wish that the Chapter would show her the kindness and give her the same wholeâ€"hearted sitpport as had been givâ€" en her predecessor, and that 1930 would be as equally successful as the previous year had been.

Handicap There are very special reasons why there should be a big attendance at the Mooseheart Charity Ball to be held in the McIntyre hall, Schumacher, on Friday evening of this week, Feb. 14th, commencing at 9 o‘clock. In the first place the event is under the auspices of the Timmins Moose Loedge and it will certainly be a very pleasant evenâ€" ing for all enjoying. The event will be well worth while for itself alone, and in addition the purpose for which the funds are to be applied is equally apâ€" pealing to most people. The proceeds from the event are to go to the proâ€" posed new boys‘ village to be erected at Mooseheart at a cost of some $750,000. It may be explained that Mooseheart is a town established and maintained by the Loyal Order of Moose for the special care of dependents of the memâ€" bers of the Order who may have passed away. There are now some two thousâ€" and children at Mooseheart. They are receiving the finest of care and affecâ€" tion and their education includes a high school course. The directors feel that better training of the children and better administration of the child city of Mooseheart may be secured by buildâ€" ing a special boys‘ village where lads of 8 to 12 years will be lodged. The Order has taken up the plan and the lodges throughout Canada and the United States are providing the funds. The Timmins Moose are doing their part as usual, the Charity Ball on Friâ€" day being one of the methods adopted for raising the quota fio¢ Timmins M. Angelo ... W. McDougall E. G. Dickson A.

E. Dunn, Whose Home was in North Bay, Fell Under a Switching Enâ€" gine and Lost His Life Last Week at Cochrane, On Wednesday evening of last wee‘k at the T. N. O. yards at Cochrane, Frank E. Dunn, T. N. 0. brakesman, was instantly killed when he slipped or fell before a switching engine. The wheels of a Pullman car and the tenâ€" der of the locomotive passed over his body. While no one saw the accident and accordingly it is difficult to surâ€" mise just what did happen, it is thought that Dunn was either mounting the steps of the Pullman when he slipped and fell between the wheels, or that in passing across the track ‘he misâ€" judged the position of the approachâ€" ing train. The night is said to have been foggy and this might account for the unfortunate man making a misâ€" judgment in regard either to the posiâ€" tion of the train or in mounting the steps of the coach. A. Johnston, conâ€" ductor, and S. Bedard, enginger, of Enâ€" gine 154, were in charge of operations at the time. They were busy in switchâ€" ing the Pullman from Transcontinental No. 1. Dunn had apparently thrown the switch to let the engine and Pullâ€" man down to shop track and it was immediately after this that the acciâ€" dent appeared to occur. When Dunn fell beneath the car he called out and his cries were heard by the men in the engine but before the locomotive could be stopped the poor fellow was badly mangled under the wheels Death apâ€" peared to be practically instantaneous. The late Frank E. Dunn was a son of Mrs. Margaret Dunn, 321 Main street east, North Bay. For a dozen years he was a citizen of North Bay, residing with his mother. For eleven of the twelve years he was in the employ of the T. N. O. Railway. Two years ago he was transferred to Cochrane and had made many friends in that town. He was a native of Markdale, Ont., and at the time of death was only 29 years of age. A particularly sad part of the accident was the fact that he leaves a bride of only a few weeks to mourn his untimely death. It is only three weeks ago that the late Mr. Dunn was married to Miss Jessie Foster, of Cochrane, ‘a sister of littleée â€" Monica PFoster, the little girl was so brutally murdered by a man who was never apprehended for the fiendish crime. Besides the bereayâ€" ed widow and his mother, the near reâ€" latives surviving are two brothers, Rusâ€" sell, of Toronto, and Ettridge, of Iroquois FPalls, and three sisters, Mrs. J. W. Brady, of Toronto, and Mrs. Donald Martin and Mrs. A. H. Wall, of North Bay. Mr. L. Halperin is on a business trip to southern Ontario this week.

There was a funeral service at the house and then at the First Presâ€" byterian church, interment being made at the Terrace Lawn cemetery at North Bay, the funeral being under the ausâ€" pices of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Pleasant Social Time Enjoyed by Eaton Staff On Wednesday evening, Feb. 5th, the staff of the Eaton Groceteria enjoyed a jolly sleighâ€"ride party, and are unâ€" animous in declaring it a huge success. Despite the extremely cold weather, a crowd of twentyâ€"five assembled at the store at 7.30, and proceeded to the Hayâ€" den Mines, returning about ten o‘clock to the home of the manager, Mr. Elvin I.. Urquhart, at 113 Maple street, where a bean supper was served. The reâ€" mainder of the evening was spent at cards, music and dancing, and while news of the serious fire in the Ellies building, beside the Groceteria, interâ€" rupted the merriment for time, the event generally was a thoroughly enâ€" joyable one. Last week The Advance made referâ€" ence to the fact that hereafter fuller particulars would be required in cases where liquor was sought to be purâ€" chased from vendors by way of an agent of the person holding a permit. There has been a more or less common practice by some, especially those living at a distance from the liquor store to give taxi drivers or others orders to make purchase of liquor.

In the curling games on Saturday evening for the Englehart cup the following were the rinks and the scores:â€" S. Bucovetsky‘s Store at Kapuskasing Burned Kirkland Lakeâ€"Brower, Holley, Dogâ€" get, Elliott, skipâ€"17. Timminsâ€"Stokes, Jackson, Todd, Caldbick, skipâ€"9. Word was received here on Thursâ€" day that S. Bucovetsky‘s store at Kaâ€" puskasing had been destroyed by fire early that morning. Mr. Bucovetsky has a chain of stores in the North, inâ€" cluding stores at Timmins, Kapuskasâ€" ing, Cobalt, Schumacher and South Porcupine. In referring to the fire at Kapuskasing, The Northern Tribune issued last Thursday said:â€" Kirkland â€" Lakeâ€"Chisholm, Ryan, Hastie, Deveney, skipâ€"5. Timminsâ€"King, McCoy, Hunt, Drew, skipâ€"23. "Fire broke out in the early hours this morning in Sam Bucovetsky‘s store on the Circle, and was only brought under control when the preâ€" mises were completely gutted. The stock, which estimates rate as high as $60,000, was completely destroyedâ€"alâ€" though the usual industrious crowd of vyoungsters are delving into the iceâ€" coated charred ruins today, seeking what they can find. "It was just after 3 a.m. when the fire whistle blew. Jack Elliott turned in the alarm. The fliames had already made headway. "Chief Bernard was soon on the job, with his brigade, and no time was lost in playing on the blaze, which apparâ€" ently started in the rear of the store. Even at the early hour, a crowd of onâ€" lookers quickly «w@wppeared, and stayed until the last filicker of flame was conâ€" quered. Today only the shell of walls remains, and ice is in all directions. "The store was heavily stocked with goods, in preparation for another sale which was to commence tomorrow morning. Mr. Bucovetsky started this branch of his large Timmins business several years ago. He now has six stores in all in the North, handling men‘s and women‘s clothing. Moncton Transcriptâ€"Statistics show that nearly two million people in the United States cannot speak English; and a New York critic remarks causâ€" tically that of the remainder nine out of ten do not even try. "Mr. Bucovetsky was notified at once, and will reach Kapuskasing on tonight‘s train. T "Mr. Sam Prud of Kapuskasing ownâ€" ed the building, which was insured for $6,000. It is understood that the goods were also well covered by fire insurance. "There is a basement in the premises, used for storing some classes of merâ€" chandise, but no heating apparatus. Ordinary box stoves were used, and it is thought that the fire originated from the one in the rear of the store. The Timmins curlers who were ai Sudbury last week for the Northern Ontario Curling Association bonspiel were pleased to meet number of forâ€" mer residents of the Porcupine camp now living in Sudbury. . There are large number of oldâ€"timers of Timmins and district living in Sudbury now and many of these were warmly greeted by the Timmins curlers. Among those who were noted by the Timmins curâ€" lers during their stay in Sudbury were the following:â€"Ralph Parker, formerly of the McIntyre; Harry Webb, formerly of the Hollinger and the Hollinger Stores; J. P. Taillon, for many years manager of the Bank : Commerce here; Dr. R. H. Brown; Mrs. M. J. Lawlor, Art Lawlor; W. MclHwain; Art Sauve; Mr. and Mrs. A. Stevenson; F. E. Loney, and others. MINES ACT BILL SET OVER FOR STUDY BY LEGISLATURE "It will be recalled that this store barely escaped a year ago from the disâ€" astrous fire which burned out a whole block. The Eaton Groceteria was ruinâ€" ed then, next door, and last summer was rebuilt of fireproof construction. This time it escaped a scorching, and business proceeded as usual there toâ€" day." MANY OLDâ€"TIMERS FROM TIMMINS NOW IN SUDBURY At the annual meeting of the Mutual Life Assurance Co. of Canada, the prés- ident, Mr. R. O. McCulloch, in moving the adoption of the direciors‘ report, said in part:â€" Fine Progress Made by Mutual Life Company The Directors‘ Report just read covers the operations for the past year, and shows that 1929 was another year of satisfactory growth and progress. The amount of new paidâ€"for business was $67,359,410, and was again the largâ€" est in the history of the company, being an increase of $10,286,620 over 1928. The business in force is now $461,310,653 and there is every prospect that the half billion mark in Assurances in force will be reached during 1930, which by happy coincidence is the Dtamond Jubilee Year of the Company. The net earnings of the year have again shown a substantial increase, amounting to $5,043,035.40, representing $46,95 per $1,000 of total assets, which now aggreâ€" gate $107,408,986.43, and the special reâ€" serves and surplus funds have increased to $12,311,529, which amply provides for possible adverse contingencies. The expense rate continues low, which is especially commendable in view of the relatively large increase in production This item of stocks is made up of an investment in preferred stocks, and in some common sMares of two of our leading Public Utilitiesâ€"The Bell Teleâ€" phone Company of Canada, and the Consumers‘ Gas Company of Toronto, neither of these companies having any preferred stock outstanding, and in the case of the latter, the common shares being the only obligation in the hands of the public. Our aggregate investâ€" ment in stocks, both preferred and comâ€" mon, amounts to $433,482.00, and it is the conviction of your Board of Direcâ€" tors that, ‘as our funds are trust funds. the interests of the policyholders will best be served as in the past by inâ€" vesting in the safest securities of the highest grade and by largely omitting common stocks from our investment policy. I am sure that our policyholdâ€" ers will approve of our conservative policy and also that the public will be glad to know that life insurance generâ€" ally was not seriously affected by the violent disturbance of speculative seâ€" curity values which occurred last fall. Either a serious mistake was made last week or else someone in Sudbury has a very perverted sense of humour. Last week some person unknown called up one of the undertaking firms in Sudbury and ordered a casket sent to 121 Bloor street, the residence of Mayor Fenton, of Sudbury. "I‘m far from teing dead yet as you fellows will learn before the year is out," was the comâ€" ment of Mayor Fenton on this grueâ€" some type of alleged humour. The last thing on earth that the mayor of Sudbury will need is a coffin, according to The Star. In view of the current discussion as to wisdom of life insurance companies investing policyholders‘ funds in comâ€" mon stocks, I deem it advisable to inâ€" form our policyholders respecting the principles which govern our Board of Directors in the investment of our funds. We still adhere to our mottoâ€" "Safety First"â€"and the invested assets of the Company, which now amount to $102,807,468, are distributed as follows: 40.5 per cent. in Bonds and Debentures, 39.1 per cent. in First Mortgages on imâ€" proved real estate, and 18.2 per cent. in policy loans, which offer undoubted security. Thus, 97.8 per cent. of our invested assets has been placed in seâ€" curities of the strongest type, and strictly nonâ€"speculative. The remainâ€" der, 2.2 per cent., represents an investâ€" ment of 1.8 per cent. in Real Estate, which includes our Head Office preâ€" mises, and only 2â€"5 of 1 per cent in Stocks N order to keep your eyes in good condition your lenses must be in perfect focus.
