RFRkE ELEY, Cal.--A gradual de-
,sriora,ion is taking place in the
human race.
This deterioration is due to:
Rottle-fcd babies.
"Indolcncc" OF the better class OF
women IN rearing children.
Employment OF large numbers of
women In office work.
Crossing of the races
inherited effects Of alcohol.
Modern environmental agencies
rot industry and city life.
These are the conclusions reached
BY Dr samuel J. Holmes, professor
II zoology at the University of Cali
fornia. In his latest book, THE Trend
Of the Race" In this volume Or.
Holmes traces the evolution of the
American people and mankind and
presents the results OF intensive
study and investigation of the race.
Irregularities Increase.
Factors noted In tracing tho de-
terioration include increasing diff

which has a considerable following
in medical circles. that the physique
Of modern civilized women has be-
come rather seriously weakened in
the last few generations" says Dr.
Holmes. Our index of this is the
Increasing difficulty experienced in
bearing children. The ease with
which women Of primitive races bear
children has often been remarked
upon. II Is not improbable that this
matter has been unduly exaggerate ed.
Child bearing Is easier. however.
among women who are used to n
moderate amount of physical labor.
Undoubtedly the life of modern
women. especially those of the more
well-to-do classes, is not favorable
10 easy child bearing. The employ
ment of large numbers of women in
sedentary occupations. such as stem
ography. office work. etc. cannot
fail to multiply the troubles of child
birth.
Another much discussed defect
OF modern woman is her frequent
inability to nurse children. Those
who have lived among primitive
peoples have frequently commented
on the almost universal ability Of
mothers to feed their children at the
breast. And among Europeans the
women OF previous generations
nursed their children much more
frequently than the women OF the
present time.
Many women are disinclined,
also, TO nurse their children for at
least a very long time In these days
OF artificial substitutes for mothers
milk. The fact that the proportion
Of women unable to nurse their chill
dren is usually greater in cities than
In rural districts. points to the po-
tency OF environmental influences
for this change in natural condi-
tions"
The inherited effects of alcohol
DR.. Holmes gives as one of the prob
aRle reasons for the alleged degen-
Sracy OF modern women. Increase
in crime, including murders and
suicides. he declares, is also held
TO follow in the wake OF inherited
degeneracies.
In this regard he says:
The growing tendency of suicide

other effects of modern civiliza-
tion on the human race Dr. Holmes
! poipts out az follows:
Many physical characteristics Of
men are affected considerably by
environment agencies. The latter
are especially prone to influence
strength, longevity, rate OF growth.
the prevalence of various diseases.
and TO less extent stature and
weight. Conditions of life. especially
in large Industrial centcrs. have
changed in such way as greatly to
affect the physique Of large part Of
the inhabitants. The relatively low
stature OF city dwellcrs liz probably
due largely to this cause.
1T IL not improbable that many
! dental Irregularities and maladiust-
ments are the result Of racial cross =
variability OF jaws and teeth II often
happens that teeth are unduly
crowded in small jaws or are other
wise out OF normal relations.
along with the deterioration Of
teeth there seems to be a corrective
tendency to the loss oY hair. Bald

than among primitive races. AL

the wearing of hats. recent studies
have shown that this infirmity de-
pends largely on ancestry and the
influence of hats is largely exag-
gerated.
1--WE have all but lost the use OF
some of our ear muscles and en-
tirely lost the use of others. but we
are no worse off In our present mode
OF life. Our little toe IL said TO be
degenerating, and there are prob
ably several minor structures in the
same situation. A further degcnera-
tion of the vermiform appendix
would probably be a positive advan-
| tage."
Despite the dark picture he has
painted Of the course of the Ameri-
can race, DR.. Holmes is not entirely
vcstlgations he has found several
factors which tend to indicate that
nature is herself correcting the de-
f1ciencies which modern civilization
has conferred on the race.
THE one agency which appears
to be most clearly working toward
racial improvement IL natural selec-
ton OF mates" he says. AT any
rate there Is a large amount of evil
dence that It is favoring the main
tenance of physical vlgor and keen
ness Of mind. Sexual selection is
still in a more doubtful position.
ITO certain extent It retains
what might be considered its primi-
tive function of denying the privi-
/. Iege OF parenthood to the poorer or
uglier individuals OF the species. but
the more capable and independent
spirits, especially among women. are
coming to be denied this privilege
also"
Intelligent recognition Of the ra-
cial maladies which affect the pres
ent day and generation forms the
only method for correction. says the
college writer and lecturer.

and understanding the methods OF
their working that effective means
