Effect Of Immigration

"The second fact is that the i'm
migration to any country of Il given
stratum of population tends to sterilze
all strata of higher social and eco
nomic levels already in that country.
So true is this that nearly all students
of the matter are agreed that the
United States would have larger
population to-day if there had been no
immigration since 1920; and. it is
needless to add a much more homo
geneous population"
The writer, Mr.. Prescott F. Hall,
believes that SO long as the COM
munity is relatively homogeneous
differences in wealth and social po-
sition do not affect the birth rate,
or do SO "only after a considerable
time" 1t is when the mentally in
ferior enter by immigration that
the natives are unwilling to have
their children associate with the
children of these immigrants in
work or social life, thus lowering
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

the birth rate. New England has
proved this, the writer says.
Continuing:
" This is not to say that other causes
do not contribute to lower the birth
rate of a country; for that is an al
most worldwide phenomenon. But the
desire TO be separated from inferieva
is as strong q motive to birth ccn.-cl
as the desire for luxury or to ape one $
economic superiors.
Races follow Greshams law as to
money; the poorer Of two kinds in the
same place tends to supplant the bet
Ter. Mark you supplant; not drive out
One of. the most common fallacics is
The idea that the natives whose places
are taken by lower immigration are
driven up to more responsible posi-
lions. A few may be pushed up; more
are driven to new locality, as hap
pened in the mining regions; pur most
are prevented from coming into exist
ence at all"
Mr.. Hall then proceeds to con-
clusion:
What is the result then of the mi
grafton of million persons Of lower
level into country where the average
is of a higher level? Considering the
world as whole, there are, after a
few years, two million persons of the
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

from half a million to a million less
of the higher type. The proportion OF
lower to higher in the country from
which the migration goes may remain
the same; but in the country receiv-
ing it it has risen. Is the world as
whole the gamer?
,"Of course. the euthenist says at
onco thet these immigrants are I'M
proved. We may grant that. although
the Improvement is probably much
exaggerated You cannot make bad
stock into good by changing its merid
ian, any more than you can turn a
cart horse into hunter by putting it
into a fine stable, or make a mongrel
into i fine dog by teaching it tricks.
But such Improvement as there is in
wolves time, expense and trouble; and,
when it is done, has anything been
gained? Will any one say shat tho
races that have suppianted the Old
Nordic stock in New England are any
better, or as good, as the descendants
OF that stock would have been il their
birth rate had not been lowered?
Further, in addition to. the purely
biological aspects of the matter, there
are certain psychological ones. AL
though cosmopolitan atmosphere fur
nishes a certain freedom in which
strong congenital talents can develop,
it is a question whether as many are
not injured as helped by this. Indeed,

mer and widely known as an au-
thorlty on overcoming difficulties in
the water. Describing the best re-
suscitation method, he says:
"Taken out of the element which
causes smothering, the patient, in
the case of drowning, should first be
held upside down at an angle, of
about 45 degrees, and the float
ing ribs pressed and released sew
eral times, allowing the water to
run out Of the mouth. Then the
patient should be placed face down.
ward on a flat surface, the hands
pulled from under the body and left
higher than the shoulder level, this
action raising the chest walls. In
this position the tongue will drop
forward out of the throat and the
fluids will continue to run out of the
mouth. The back Of one of the pa
TENTS hands may be placed under
his cheek to protect it from the dirt.
"The operator kneels astride the
hips Of the patient and rests his
hands over the patients floating
ribs. BY leaning the weight for
ward, straight-arm pressure, out
goes the water. The pressure is re-
leased suddenly, and in comes the
air. Repeating this from twelve to
fifteen times a minute gives more
air than natural breathing, and
three times as much as any other
method of resuscitation.
when the patient is sufficiently
resuscitated to be able to swallow
in other words, is conscious-it may
be necessary to give Stlmulants. If
the patients hands are cold and
clammy, he should be covered with a
blanket, coat, canvas sail, or any
thing that will help to increase the
body temperature. A cup of hot
black coffee or hot tea is safer
stimulant than any alcoholic liquid.
One on two teaspoonfuls Of aro-
matte spirits of ammonia in half a
glass of water is another stimulant
that can be used
Work of resuscitation after the
rescue cannot be begun too quickly.
No patient should be carried any dis
tance for shelter or to a doctor, but
efforts to resuscitate should be be-
gun at once. Send for a doctor at
once. but begin work on the patient
at once, also"

and resuscitation. The Fort Tilden
station is in charge of Commander
+. w. Cabaniss, U. S. N.
So successful was the demonstra-
tion that it is possible the Red Cross
will give similar instruction to all
naval and army aviators, among
whom such knowledge is not only
desirable but essential. The recent
experiences of the men on the NC
flying boats, near the Azores, where
members of the crew were a long
time in peril from the water, is a
case in point.
At Sheepshead Bay exhibitions
were also given recently of rescue
and resuscitation work, showing,

doing precisely the same thing as to
races considered as wholes Immigra-
tion restriction is a species of segrega-
tion on a large scale, by which inferior
stocks can be prevented from both
diluting and supplanting good stocks
That this subject has a relevant
bearing OF current world politics
the writer maintains IN the follow
ing:
This result IS not merely d selfish
benefit TO the higher races, but a good
TO the world as a whole The object is
TO produce the greatest number of

but d1test Tor all purposes. The lower

To-day in Troy

Now two hundred thousand wards
of goods are used in a day by one
factory in the town where Hannah
Montague used to toll away on con-
siderable less than one yard an en-
tlrs working day. One ton Of
thread is used every week in the
town now to make collars. One spool
used to last Hannah two weeks.
But the business was hardly a
lucrative one for Mrs. Montague.
She could grind out only about one
collar day, and what with all the
labor 1T took there wasn't much
profit in the small amount she could
cnarge for those she sold.
1t remained for an enterprising
townsman, the Rev. Ebenezer
Brown, to commercialize the affair
Mr.. Brown conducted store in
Troy cat the corner of River Street
and the shipyard," and it wasn't
long until his window contained a
display of the articles. That was
1819--one hundred years ago.
To-day in Troy there are seven
square blocks Of collar and shirt
factories within a mile radius and
capital to the sum of $4,000, 900
has been invested in the proposition.

'Soired BY q Woman

twas woman who solved it, Hannah
Montague was the wife of big,
husky blacksmith. 1t is hard to
Imagine any one who could get a
collar more thoroughly soilcd than d
blacksmith. Mrs. Montague used to
lie awake nights trying to figure out
la way to keep her husbands collar
|clean and her washing down.
Finally one night it came to her.
She conceived the idea Of having d
collar separate from the shirt. She
lost no time, and the next day made
her blueprints and set to work. That
night the blacksmith tried it on.
That week she had the lightest wash
ing that had ever been known in
Troy up to that time-for it ,was in
Troy, N. Y, that the Mon'aguos
lived and blacksmithed.
Montague was proud of her handi-
work and lost considerable time at
the anvil, because he stopped to show
1t to every one that passed.
There have been hundreds Of
changes in that old-fashioned stock
that Hannah Montague made. The
stiff linen collar finally came and it
is considered the standard of the
present day. In itself it represents
hundred more changes.
Not the least of the developments

subject dealt with by "The
journal of Heredity," which
goes on to say:
"There is one aspect of immigration
restriction in the various countries
which does not often receive much at
tention, namely, the possibility of its
use as method of world eugcnics.
Most persons think of migration in
terms of space as the moving cf u
certain number OF people from one
part of the earths surface to another.
Whereas the much more important
aspect of it is that of functioning
of time.
"This comes from two facts The
first is that the vacuum left III any
country by emigration is rapidly filled
up through rise in birth rate. There
are more people in England to-day
than in the time of Elizabeth, in spite
of the enormous emigration from that
country to all parts of the world; and
there are just as many sparrows in
England to-day in spite of the. un-
fortunate spread of those birds in the
