American pep" is a mockery. To
put it in scientific language, which is
at the same time perfectly good every
day American, the national hustle, in
stead of being a virtue to be cultivated
and handed down to generations that
they may rule the world. Is nothing
but neurotic irrita bility. 1t is
sign of mental and physical deteriora-
ton, to check which all the knowledge
of the man of medicine and science is
powerless, for the simple reason that
mankind has not yet reached a stage
of intelligence that would make it pos
sible to prescribe for a nation.
The foregoing is but one of many re-
markab BILE conclusions reached by one
of Philadelphia most eminent scien-
lists, Dr. Austin O. Malley, widely
known physician. former professor of
English literature at Notre Dame uni
versity, and author. DR.. o. Malley
has been making a study for years OF
the effect of climate on races. Already
equipped with a scientists knowledge
of archaeology and history, he has
traced the movement of all known
races from the times of the earliest
civilization. Most of these movements
have ended in extinction within few
centuries. And on the basis of that
fact DR.. O'Malley is now convinced
that:
The Irish, English, Scotch. Germans
and all other north Europeans will be
| extinct in this country within one or
| two centuries, unless there is constant
immigration from their native lands.
The United States, with European
immigration cut off or reduced, will
become a land OF southern Europeans
within a few generations.
North Europeans can not exist, as a
mass, for more than a few genera
tions in most parts of the United
States. AS quickly as they migrate
into such sections as Philadelphia
they shall perish, literally burned UP
| by the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Irish Families Dying Out.
| Enough proof of these assertions
to fill a library has been obtained by
DR.. O. Malley But the most outstand
ing piece of evidence, because it is
available for the study of every one
is the record of the American revolu
ton. According to record of the
testimony given by Major-Genera
! Robinson the English commissioner
sent to this country during the revo
luton for the exchange of prisoners
George Washington's army consisted
of "onehalf Irish, one-fourth natives
and the rest were Scotch, German anC
English"
During the war Of the American
revolution" says DR.. O'Malley, "al
most the entire Pennsylvania anC
Maryland line in the American army
was made up of Irish; there are nov
almost no Irish names among the
Daughters of the Revolution, the Gin
cinnati and similar societies made VI
of persons who had ancestors in the
revolutionary war, because the Irish
OF the revolution are extinct. l re
Gently examined fifty Irish families il
northern Pennsylvania, who are nov
in the second American generation.
These families were of the best i'm
migrants that came here just after tn,
famine in Ireland of 1S47. They CAV,
their children the best example; the.
all succeeded financially, so that thei
children were we'll fed, we'll house,
: and educated; nearly every family wa
able to send some of their sons t,
college. In the first American gener
alton there were a little over Ave chill
dren as the average to each family
. 276 in all. If these 276 people ha,
J the number of children their parent
had. they would now be Represented
by at least a thousand descendants.
What Plots Of Work Curve Show.
"They are actually represented b.
less than 200 delicate, neurotic child
rem. These families will be extinc
in few more generations. One groul
Of seven families in the list had forty
nine children the first American
generation, of which per cent be
came insane, but the second American
generation consists of six delicat
children, and there will be no more
) Instead of progression in the secon,
generation there is retrogression b,
more than SO per cent.
