NOTED SOCIOLOGIST WOULD BUILD
 UP SUPERMAN RACE WITH EUGENICS

Establishment of "eugenics registry" the purpose of which would be development of an "aris- tocracy of health" and the creation of beings possessed of superior char acteristics of mind and body, was advocated by Dr. J. H. Kellogg of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek. Mich., before the conference on race betterment at the Panama Pacific exposition.
 "The establishment of a registry for horses created a famous breed of English thoroughbreds," he said. "The object sought by the proposed eugenics registry is to accomplish for humans the same marvellous transformation, and to evolve the same b>,tterments that have been and still are being accomplished for pigs and cattle. We have created won derful new species of domestic anil mals. Why not have a new and in- proved species of man?
 ''The object of a eugenics registry is to create aristocracy of health. The world needs new aristocracy; not an artificial, blue blooded aris tocracy created by wealth or official authority, but real aristocracy made up of Apollos and Venuses and their fortunate progeny
 "Instead of such an arlstocracy we are actually building up an aristoc- racy of lunatics, idiots, paupers, and
