The KITCHEN CABIMT of Indian* U Traced to Old World Berkeley, Calif.--in spite of the exvariety and dissimilarity of Inlanguages in North and South there Is evidence In their tribal initiation and secret society ceremonies to show that originally their culture was derived from the Old world, and that since that time their spiritual and mystic life has been dominated by the ancient civilization of the Mayas in Central America. These conclusions are reached by Dr. Edwin Loeb; lecturer on anthropology at the University of California, in an article entitled "The Religious Organizations of North Central California and Tlerra Del Fuego." From the work of Professor Kroeber and himself in California, and of other anthropologists In Tlerra del Fuego and elsewhere, Loctor Loeb has been able to show that the foundation of the ceremonies used by American Indians for initiating boys and girls on their approach to manhood and womanhood, Is essentially the same as the foundation of similar throughout the world. .'•iiVuw?
