HUMAN RACE IMPROVING
PHYSICALLY EVERY YEAR

BERKELEY, Calf. Dec. 26.-Our
race is becoming better physically
with every passing year, in the
opinion Of DR.. o. r. Moody, associ-
ate professor of anatomy at the
University Of California.
Physical disabilities are becom.
ing less numerous and less danger
ous," said DIR. Moody. "Deformities
are being studied and their causes
found and uprooted by improvement
IN the modern scientific methods of
preventive medicine.
People are beginning to be more
inclined to pay a doctor to keep
them well than to wait until they
are Ill and pay twice as much to be
made WELL"
In the popularity Of muscular ex-
ertions on the Fairgrounds, DR..
Moody sees evidence Of a more
hardy generation.
Compulsory physical education,
baby clinics, child welfare work and
adult well clinics" he points to as
promoting a better race, and he be-
Heves there is no evidence Of race
deterioration in any physical form.
