THE NORDIC CRAZE.
TO LIVE WITH MONK EYS.
TAILLESS ALIGATORS, Etc.
FOOT AND MOUTH CURE.
By Arthur Brisbane

The "purely Norjic" craze has
gone far. A scientific association
OF Germap "racialists" proposes to
plan a nsw State in which only
those purely Nordic" will be ad-
mitted
The scientists allege that blood
tests will distinguish the purely
Nordic from the mixed breeds.
That's interesting, as there is
not on all the surface of the earth
any single sample of a pure breed,
whether of "Nordic," Aryan, Sem
itic, Mongolian, African or Malay
sian strain. All the breeds were
mixed up long ago, although they
don't know it.
That new Nordic state, by the
way, would exclude the founder Of
Christianity, whose mother was q
Jewess. He, certainly, was not
"purely Nordic."
Here's one original thought.
John Gromardie, citizen of New
York, writes to the Franklin Park
Zoo in Boston, saying he'd like to
