Chicago U Professor Lays Blame for
Race Weakening on the Women.

Chicago, Dec. II.-William =

ology at the University OF Chicago,
docs not have a high opinion OF the
present state of American society
Prof Thomas addressed the mem
bers of the Chicago Woman's Club
on the Present Condition and Des-
tiny of the Family" and in the course
of his paper made several statements
which are decidedly discouraging t.
any feeling Of national pride that
may have been troubling us.
Briefly. Prof Thomas believes:
That the insane and habitual crinli-
nal classes in America are increasing
more rapidly than the normal popu-
lation; in the more intelligent classes
the birth rate is lower than the death
rate.
This, which means rapid radical de-
terioration, makes the question of
white or yellow supremacy i'll the near
future a great one.
They are few middle-class Amer
can families whose dress and mode
