communities could be dispensed with.
Elections are becoming more numerous
every year, two and three being the

PROF STARR of the Chicago Univer-
slty has made a notable contribution to
the work of the bureau of publicity by
informing his class in anthropology
that the American people, 10 their
physical characteristics, are growing
more and more like Indians every day.
The only thing that prevents the
people of the United States from be-
coming similar to the nomadic tribes OF
Indians, says the Professor. is the In
termarrisge between residents OF this
country and immigrants from foreign
lauds. The people out 10 Chicago may
be becoming wild" like Indians, but
people OF this State who have from
generation to generation refrained from
intermarriage with immigrants from
foreign lands show no signs whatever
OF becoming similar to the nomsdic
tribes.
