Lost Tribe?

Skepticism greeted a tale of Tibet brought to London last week by one Jill Cossley-Blatt, Englishwoman, and a Dr. Irvine Baird, Canadian. But the pair claimed that they had proof of a tribe who live in a cranny of the Himalayas and "are white and appear to belong to the earliest civilization. We were able to identify this race of people by their writings. Their hieroglyphics are the same as those of the old Chaldeans. It is possible that some 2,000 or more years B. c. they moved away from their home in Mesopotamia and traveled to the lands to the north of India. They live about no years, continue to marry at the age of 75 or 80, and are a very hardy people. Their girls are attractive and have good skins and long hair hanging in disorder down their backs. They know nothing of the use of cosmetics or perfumes. They use fats on their hair. They live as naturally as any race now left on earth and although the climate is very cold they go about scantily clad. . . . There is no nervous tension."
