AMERICANS TO Be
like The INDIANS
Facial Features Of the Race
4 Changing.
EXPERTS DESCRIBE TREND.


High Cheek Bones, Coarse Black
Hair, InmobiIity and Other Aborisi-
nal Characteristics Are Coming In.
Other Races Affected.
English physiognomists assert that
Americans as a nation are going back
to first principles in the matter Of
facial appearances. In other words,
instead of progressing in the line of
Anglo Saxon beauty they are gradual
ly but surely beginning to look like
Indians.
Not only are they becoming to look
like Indians as race, but the resi-
dents of each section Of the country
are taking on the facial traits of the
particular tribes that originally roam
ed over the territory in which they
were born.
The physiognomists in question in
commenting upon these changes say
in substance that the American face
is steadily changing; that it is curl
Gus fact that the typical American
face is becoming to resemble more
and more closely that Of the original
resident of the same land. The In
dams high and prominent cheek
bones, lank hair thin lips and i'm
pressive expression are some Of the
noticeable changes that are being
brought about.
They assert that the American blond
is now passing into history and that
in few years the wire haired, beard
less individual will take up the center
of the stage as the distinctive Ameri-
can type.
other Nations Changing.
The future cartoon of your Uncle
Samuel, according to their figuring, in
stead of being the fine old gentleman
with the slippery elm cud hidden
away in his cheek, the long hirsute
draperies on his chin and the rosy
face that reflects all there is in good
nature and Yankee humor, will be re-
placed by a solemn individual of cop
per hue, with as much expression in
his face as a pan of milk and with
hair that suggests barbed WIRE Why
all this change they know not. Suffice
it to say that such is the decree.
Not only are Americans changing in
type, but so also are the Japanese.
the New Zealanders, the French, the
Italians and even our British cousins
themselves.
The change in the Japanese is due.
so they say, to the change of diet.
Where formerly every visit to the ta-
BILE was met with a bowl Of rice, now
pork chops, butchers tenderloins and
veal outlets Dreaded greet them.
After several years of experimenting
Japan decided tc put meat on the daily
diet Of her navy, with the result that
where the experiment was made the
lucky ones who were chosen for the
test began to sprout in two directions
up and across. 1t was noticed that the
men of the ships where beef was serv-
ed grew about three-quarters of an
inch on the average. Throughout the
island empire entrees and roasts have
been taken up, with the result that the

United States consuls report that 10
cal tailors complain that since the in
PRODUCTION of meat there has been q
general demand for more cloth in
making clothes. Another noticeable
change that has been brought about
is the condition of their hair. Hereto
fore their hair has been as upright and
as bristly as a galliwog's, but now II
is becoming as smooth and lank as the
average Americans. Hair oil and hail
brushes, as a result, have become
standard articles of sale through the
country where only a few years age

"BottIe" Nose Coming.
New Zealanders are taking on the
"bottle" nose, not as a fashion. but be
cause changes are also coming abou
down there. The "bottle" nose is the
style of nose that spreads across the
face rather than stands out from it
sometimes referred to by physiogno
mists as the "squat aquiline." This
