rope is a partly thawed sea; above
America hundreds of miles Of ics-cov-
cred land. The European mountains
are high and they lie east and west and
cut off the arctic Winds; southern
and eastern Europe is lpocketed behind
high mountains. The American noun
tains run north and south and Let
down the cold winds. When roses are
in bloom on the Italian Riviera, which
is up at the level of Lake Superior, the
frost may be nipping the Florida orange
groves, which are down at the middle Of
the Sahara Desert and almost within
the tropics.
"A man from the north Of Ireland
going to Philadelphia to live" says
Doctor O'Malley, moves southwark
1000 miles; if he goes to New Orleans.
be moves more than 100 miles. A
Norwegian going to Texas moves south
1000 miles, and fifty years ago a largo
Norwegian colony was actually foolish
enough to try this experiment. Today
there is not a single male. or female
descendant Of that colony in existence.
"The Lombards went from what 10
now Hanover and the Altmark Of Prus..
STA down to middle Italy. Their king.
dom began in italy in 568 and ended In
774; it lasted 208 years, and the
name alone remains; the people and.
their speech have disappeared. The
Teutonic Goths, who most probably
came. originally from the south coast
Of the Baltic, were important in the
fourth, fifth and sixth centuries. They
took Italy, Sicily and Dalmatia and ex-
tended their power over a large part ct
Gaul and nearly the whole Of Spain.
They lasted in Italy sixty-two years.
They lost Spain In 584, and BY COL the
Gothic language began to 20 out OF use

denburg and Pomerania, and about
428 some $4,000 Of them passed over
into northern Africa, at the level Of
Virginia. BY 536, that is 108 years
after they had left Spain, the vandals
disappeared from history, annthilated,
not by war or pestilence, but BY the
climate. Early in the thirteenth CEN
tury a body of Burgundians and Ger
mans invaded Greece. Two generations
after the conquerors had set foot on the
Peloponnesus many of their leadinS
families were extinct. There are ruins
Of old Frankish castles there now, but
nothing more"

These and other instances thickly
strewn through the history of the world.
Doctor O'Maley holds, prove that q
northern man cannot thrive anywhere in
the South. 1.-THE Yankee" he says.
"goes down to Georgia to take charge
Of a cotton mill there, and for nix
months he awakens the sleepers; then
he joins them" The doctor also points
out that the heavyweight pugilist com
mon here thirty or forty years ago was
a foreigner or a first generation man.
Now he has almost disappeared and 10
replaced by the lightweight.
''The hustle Of Americans, their
rapidity in business transactions, is not
a virtue but a neurotic irritability,"
says Doctor O'Malley. EVEN at a place
Of recreation, like, say, Atlantic City,
instead of strolling leisurely as people
do at Ostend, Americans run asS to .
fire; and the brighter the sunlight the
quicker they run. To one returning
from a long s%ojourn in Europe, the un-
natural hurry on the streets Of our cities
is the most striking fact.
From South Carotn9 10 near
Canada is the zone in light and summer
heat for the olive tinted white man, the
Mediterranean type" Doctor. O'Malley
says, 'tand this man thrives here fairly
well, despite the winter, which Is more
severe than that Of his European home.
If, however, a mar from Scotland,
which has an average Of 259 cloudy days
in the year, and a very slanting sun, ND
CRATES to Yuma, Ariz., where there are
about nineteen cloudy days annually,
a very slightly ~slanting sun, and some
times a temperature Of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit in the shade, or to Ell Paso,

cloudy days in the year, he IL stimu-
lated for a short time, then narvously

in Central and South America. The
Irish degenerate physically even in the
northern United. States."
