DIR, Evans Gives Talk.

DR. W. A. Evans, editor of the
How to Keep Well column of the
Chicago Tribune, spoke yesterday
afternoon before the members OF
the Davenport Woman's club and
visitors from other clubs in the
vicinity, the meeting having been
announced as an open one when all
club women were invited to be
guests. His subject Vas Health
of Some of Our Racial Stock" and
in discussing the health of differ
ent races, and their tendencies 10
disease. or strong racial character
istics of resistance to sickness. the
speaker explained the great waves
of immigration that have swept
over America in the past years. He
showed how the high birth rate Of
these foreign peoples. many pos
sessed of strong, healthful tenden-
cies, have given racial color to the
great industrial centers..
There have been $4,000, 900 i'm
migrants to the United States and
of these, 24,080,O0O have come IN
since 1885," stated DIR. Evans.
THE original stock was Eng
lish and .Scotch-Irish, the two
great waves of immigration prior
to 1880 were Polish, and Bohemian.
Italian and Scandinavian. The
heavy immigration since 1880, plus
the high birth rate prevailing
among these, groups, has given
them more than half the popula-
ton Of the great industrial centers
of the country.
Just prior to-our entrance to
the great war as many immigrants
were passed from Europe to Amer
lea as the number of soldiers car
ried to the old world from America
in any year of the war. While
the presence among us of the great
number Of persons in these racial
groups contributes to the diff
Guilty Of our health situation, it has
some advantages to compensate, I,
and the speaker went on to ex-
plain: ..'The Italian stock is rela-
lively free from consumption; they
have less than their share Of in
fluenza. and racial stock suffering
unduly from influenza have some
immunity to consumption. The
Scandinavian stock always has a
low baby death rate, and they also
teach US physical development, and
Slavic races tend to correct OUT
alarming tendency to a low birth
rate. In 1914 there were 1O1 ,OOG
classified as Hebrews in the United
States. They also are a strone
race and have the advantage, Of a
low baby, death rate. low general
death rate. and : low consumption
rate" =: - i; ~ -
