Our five cent pieces. Of course. are

only about ID cents hundred. When
the expense of stamping the designs
upon them is added they come to
something like $3.50 million-that Is

This mace is always an emblem OF

duty Of one employee to look after It.
Just before session Of the house be-

while the house is in session and is
taken out and stood beside its pedes-

the whole. When the house adjourns
the mace Is carried back to the office
of the sergea nt-at-arms.
This ancient emblem has not thing
to do with the order of business Of the
house, save as one Of the old time reg

house is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speaker

1T has been observed" he sad. that
while immigrants have large families, the

into our material has shown that the re-
duction of the size of the family goes hand

It is worthy Of mention that Prof. Mason
thus defined the width OF the head of the
american type as so per cent. of its length,
whereas Prof Boas finds 1t In tho prelim-

way that they differ in type. essential
~. from their foreign born parents
said DR.. Boas. These differences seem
to develop during earliest childhood
and persist throughout lite. 1t seems
that every part of the body is in
fluenced in this way, and even the
form OF the head, which has always
been considered Is one of the most
permanent hereditary features, under
goes considerable changes"
The two Municipalities which have
been flocking to our shores In by
far the greatest numbers were the
first studied by the anthropologist.
These arc the East European Jews
and the Southern italians.
Now a remarkable change is found
TO take place in those two types as
soon as new generations arc bred ON
American soil. The Jew Of Eastern
Europe arrives here with head az

tically long. Although each Inarries

In America, the offspring of the round

headed. III other words. each Uranium
approaches an american type OF skull
one required by our environment--
which is neither as round as that OF
the Eastern Jew or as long as the
south Italians. Here are the figures.
The south Italian comes here with a
head whose width is IS per cent. of
It's length. while that OF the east Eu-
ropean jew is 81 per cent. of it's
length; yet their children born in
America have heads whose widths are
respectively SO and sl-per cent OF

Jews Faces Grow Narrower.
THE faces OF the Jews are pressed
narrower when the diameters of their
heads are shortened In this mysterious
American mold. And at the same time
the faces of the Italians become
broader when their heads are rounded
out.
How the Jew thrives here. in spite
of all obstacles. is well illustrated
by the statistics collected by this an
thropologist. They show that even
in the congested parts of New York's
ghetto the American environment

show small loss of vigor, indicating
that their race suffers under the In
fluence of American city life.
Mature Earlier Here.
That American-born boys mature earlier
than foreign-born boys is another interest
ing condition shown By the statistics col
lected.
The stamp of the American mold becomes
deeper with the length of time that tho
immigrant parents spend here before the
birth of their children. The professor
proves this by comparing the features of
three clases-those born abroad. those born
here within less than ten years after the
arrival OF the immigrant mother, and those
born here after more than ten years follow
ing her coming.
Thus it is seen. for example, that Jewish
children born soon after their mothers
