BLEND FAR FROM COMPLETE
Expert Finds Descendants Of First
American Families Little Affected
by the Melting Pot.

Through an extensive study of mem
bers of some OF the oldest American
families, America as the melting pot
of the nations" proves to be but con-
venient expression for writer's and ora
tors-merely a picture drawn by those
who do not trouble themselves about
the precision of their figures of speech.
myth without foundation Of fact.
For four years DIR. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator Of the division of physical an
t.iropology of the United States Ma.
tional museum, has had under way an
investigation Of the blending of the va
rious types of humanity in America,
which, though not yet fully completed,
has resulted in the inevitable concu'
sion that the force of heredity is too
strong to be radically altered in Il cen
tury or two and that we must wait
centuries longer to find a type which
will justify the statement that Amerl
ca is in reality melting pot" Of the
nations. Doctor Hrdlicka finds that
even the first material that went into
the pot" has not melted yet.
Several hundred members Of the old
white American stock have been meas
ured most carefully and examined in
many ways to find If the people max
ing up this stock are tending to be-
come alike-if a new subtype of the
human race is being formed here in
America with intermarriage, environ
ment and under the pressure of out
ward circumstances. Doctor Hrdlicka
finds definitely that, as yet, such is not
the case. His investigation shows that
the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers,
the Virginia cavaliers, the Pennsylva-
mia Dutch and the Huguenots. while
possibly not as much alike as their an
cestors probably were, are still far
from a real Observation-Disclosures Rec

Americans and Tanks.

BY inventing the caterpillar device
for motors. American ingenuity has
played vital part in the war. says
Boys Life, the boy scouts magazine.
The success Of the tank lies in the
fact that it lays its own track, so to
speak, and after rolling over it, picks
il up. Now the track is merely belt
made of fiat links Of steel. This belt
fits over large wheels at either end OF
the tank. much as the chain is
stretched around the wheels of an au-
tomobile. On the outside Of the belt
ere fixed a series of broad links called
track plates. which take firm grip
on the earth. The tank itself rests on
rollers which in turn rest on the In
side of the belt. 1t is equipped with
two belts on either side of the car,
10th of which are connected with the
driving machinery. When the tank
moves straight ahead, both these belts
are driven at the same speed. 1t is
possible, however, to drive the belts
independently. 1t usually travels Mt a
speed of about half a mile an hour.

COUNCIL TALKS
over PLANS FOR
WAR MEMORIAL
Ure FavOrS RemodeIing Mu-
niCipal Auditorium; Want
City Ownership of
Public Utilities.

Plans for memorial to the men
and women of Douglas county who
entered war service were discussed
informally yesterday afternoon by
the city commissioners. They all
agreed that the memorial should not
be mere monument of stone. These
ideas were presented:
Mayor Smith-A museum of war
relics, posters, photographs of Oma-
ha war activities. This building to
be in connection with an auditorium
seating about $500 people.
Commissioner Butler-An athletic
field for all sorts of events and In
Guiding a mile track.
Commissioner Falconer-A small
err athletic amphitheater, to be built
on the park property between Har-
ney and Jackson streets, between
Thirtieth and Thirty-third streets.
Commissioner Ure-Finishing and
remodeling the Municipal auditor
ium and equipping it with movable
walls so that it can be divided into
two or three smaller auditoriums,
the whole to be called the Soldiers
memorial hal"
The other commissioner were not
present.
The commissioners agreed that
bill now in the legislature providing
that the Omaha Gas company shall
be operated by the Metropolitan
Water District of Omaha after it
his been acquired by the city shall
be endorsed by the city commission
ers.
They also agreed that eventually
the other publicly owned utilities
shall be operated by public SER
vice commission" which shall be
the outgrowth of the present water
board and shall be elected by the
people. #.
R. B. Howell, general manager of
the Metropolitan Water district,
said the plan is good one.
ut is necessary to manage such
public utilities separately from the
other business of the city," he said.
IF they are not managed separately
there is danger that their earnings
may be diverted to other uses than
those to which they belong.
Earnings of publicly owned
utilities should go to only three
uses: First, to pay the running ex-
penses of the utility; second to cut
down and eventually extinguish the
debt of the utility, and third to re-
duce rates. In the water works we
have paid our expenses, cut down
our debt from year to year and re-
duced rates SIS per cent"
Mayor Smith declared that he be-
lieves when Omaha owns the gas
plant it can supply the people with
gas at "a great deal less than ST a
thousand feet"
Commissioner Butler favored the
creation of a loop" by the street
railway company in the downtown
district.

Bluffs Boy Finds
Cousin With Hun Prisoners

William ]. Greulach, Council
Bluffs, Company L boy and son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John N. Greulach, 302
West Pierce street, in the Bluffs, has
written to his parents detailing the
unusual experience of finding his
cousin among Hun prisoners he had
helped to capture in the St. Mihiel
drive. The cousin was in squad of
the Seventeenth Uhlans, and the
Bluffs boy met him casually while
looking over the prisoners.
Speaking German fluently he talk
ed with a number of them in their
native tongue. One young man was
particularly interested and asked the
Bluffs boy his name. The interest
visib1y increased when the name,
Greulach, was mentioned in connec-
ton with Council Bluffs.
why, I've got an uncle, Andrew
Greulach, living in Omaha" he re-
sponded. Further conversation dis
closed that the boys were first cou-
sins. The cousin had risen above the
ranks in the kaiser's service and in
troduced himself as Capt. Philip
Greulach. A cousin, Louis Greulach,
vas killed in the drive few days
before. The old world cousin ex-
pressed his intense desire to get to
America and said he was coming at
the first opportunity.
