The world war. he says, has made
matters worse for the blonde because
It is the blonde Nordic element in all
peoples that invariably makes the
greatest sacrifices in war, while the

stronger In number than before.

part Of the breeding stock OF the
blonde races and the immigration
since then has been largely from the
Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.
Mr.. Grant believes Tint the 1esfruc-

or than that Of the brunette that q
great step has been taken In wipitg

THE world war will leave Europe

has been absorbed by the brunette Cyl
over the world, and cites the Aryan

In the darker stream of blood.
He thinks that the same thing Will

is suitable for the blonde types and
