this respect than the males and after
more than 1900 measurements he has
evolved this picture of the most typi-
cal old American woman:
In outline a fairly long oval with
the forehead never disproportionate;
a good forehead: less than medium
ridges over the eyes, moderate jaws
lips be'ow medium, and the cheeks
evenly filled out"
The forehead, DR.. Hrdlicka found
generally is upright. The nose has {
tendency toward convexity,. is rather
long, of moderate breadth, and is wei
proportioned.
Thick Lips Unknown.
Thick lips are unknown. The size
of the mouth is moderate. The lower
jaw Is slightly narrower than the av-
erage for the white race, stature be-
ing taken into consideration.
Old Americans generally have big
ears. They are the longest and a.
most the broadest Of those of al
white peoples available for compari-
son. The chest is broader but less
deep than that of most white people
available for comparison. This 'dat.
chestedness," DR.. Hrdlicka holds
probably Is due to the fact that no.

The old Americans have the small
est hands. relative to stature. of any
of the race groups of whom measure
mentS have been taken. The women
particularly. have narrow hands. The
race also has shorter and narrower
feet, stature considered, than any
other white group. Size of hands and
feet, however, cannot be considered
as racial characteristics, DR.. Hrdlicka
holds. Americans do not broaden their
feet by walking so much as most Eu
pean peoples. 1t is also true that
old American women have Slenderer
legs than any other white race group
also probably due to lack of exercise
, Old American women have hands
less than half as strong as the men
Similar to British.
THE old American stock" says DR.
,Hrdlicka. stands nearer than any
other branch of whites to the stock
of Great Britain, but it is not identical
with the same. 1t is American. The
American type is near the English
Irish and Scotch types, but it is a.
least as different from any of these
as they are different from each other
The only section of the stock that
differs perceptibly and in some
important points disadvantageously
from the type is that of the isolated
Appalachian highlanders. The rea.
sons appear to be inbreeding and lack
of cultural development, both OF
which can be remedied.
The future of the old American
stock need cause no concern All
available anthropological data points
to the fact that, just as the older
population. so the late comers to this
country have been undergoing a
gradual physical improvement, lead,
ing in stature and other respects in
the direction of the old Americans
None of these newcomers are physi
cally SO different from the old Amer
lean stock that admixture with them
could be considered as of any pos
sible biological danger. 1t is more
likely that the newer admixture into
American stock will on the whole
constitute a wholesome stimulus

before n cross on which there hangs

plete expression of a certain group
of spiritual ideas that can struggle
into words only one aspect al a time.
What is written on the tomb of Hafiz,
"Oh. heart. be a slave to the King of
the World and be a King" writes like
a flash of lightning the spiritual truth
that if one is to live with dignity one
must bend ones will to a purpose
other than ones own wellbeing. But
the ritual of the church says it better;
and ii says more.
Nevertheless, I feel that Christian
ity must be regarded not as a final
revelation, but as a phase Of revela-
tlon. The creative spirit informing
the world. which you may call God if
you like, produced Christ to satisfy
the spiritual needs of man as he was

Instances of Liquor Folly.
The earliest proposals to amend the
Federal Constitution and establish a
national prohibition policy-such as
those by Blair, Plumb, Ballon and
others. in the seventies and eighties
dealt almost exclusively with ardent
spirits. with distilled liquors. native
and foreign. and would not have
affected fermented beverages of ordi-
nary type. The movements of that
day aimed at hard liquors." Indeed.
they were then disposed to agree with
the earlier view of Thomas jefferson
that mild brews would be a panacea
against fiery liquors. But the friends
of the liquor trade fought those propo-
sitions with as much vehement bitter
ness as they now 90 the Volstead act
itself
1t should be remembered that when
Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson presented his famous prohi-
bition amendment in 1914, he was
hilariously ridiculed inside and outside
of Congress, by publicists and by press,
for restricting prohibition to the
sale" phases of the liquor traffic.
The wording of his proposed amend
ment was:
1.-The sale, manufacture for sale,
transportation for sale, importation
for sale of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes in the United
States and all territory subject to the
Jurisdiction thereof, and expectation
thereof, are forever prohibited.
Such eminent opponents as Repre-
sentatives Mann, Underwood, Henry,
Gallivan, Carlin and a score of others
derided the repetitions "for sale" in
the resolution and declared there could
be no genuine, prohibition upon those
terms; that it really would set up a
free liquor regime, because 1t would
leave every one free to distill and brew
his own liquors and that under this
Hobson plan there would be universal
drunkenness without regulations or
restraints.
In reply to the savage attacks made
upon his proposition Representative
Hobson replied that he and those
whom he represented did not believe
