immigration figures are to be taken as an ex-
preston Of the old gentleman's leanings.
Under the original immigration act Of 1924,
86 per cent of our immigrants came from
Northern and Western Europe and IL per cent
from Southern and Eastern Europe. Under the
nati0nal-origins provision which became effec-
tive July l. 81 per cent may come from North
ern and Western Europe and Is per cent from
Southern and Eastern Europe.
That means, as an immediate first result
. decrease in round numbers of 10000 North
ern and Western European immigrants and an
increase Of 5000 immigrants from Southern
and Eastern Europe. To that influx of dark
peoples must be added the thousands who have
entered over the borders from Mexico and
from French Canada.
BROADLY speaking, then, Uncle Sam is
"of" the blondes. The NordicS have re-
ceived blow. The German and the Scandi-
navian quotas have been cut to almost one
third of their former numbers. This comes
as surprise 10 many people and even as a
source of distress, especially since for a num-
perior merits of the blond North European
races.
The most Nordic of all the Nordics, the
Norsemen, have been cut down from 6453 to
2.377 The Swedish quota is cut from 1851
to 1914; the Danish from 2,789 to 1,181: the
German from 1927 to 25,277. The present.
day Austrian, who is now racally German,
and the Dutch are the only Nordics outside
of the questionable Nordic British, to get a
break. The Austrian quota is increased by 628
and the Dutch by 1905

Immigrants of the same type from English

According to Ripley the famous ethnologist.
there are three great physical races in Europe
called the "Teutonic." or Nordic; the "Alpine"
or Celtic, and the Mediterranean The Nordc
Is tall, long-headed and blond, and comprises
most OF the northern cases of Europe. The
Mediterranean is short, long headed and yery

The Alpine, or Celt is of medium stature.

broad-headed and rather brunette The eyes
are more often gray and the hair brown, al
though all variations are found. due to the ad-
mixtures which have occurred during the CEN
turtles.
The new national-or laW increases the
number OF Mediterranean peoples permitted to
enter the United States. The Italian quota is
increased from 3,s45 to 5.8O2-just that many
more brunettesl The Spanish quota increases
from 13l to 252: the Belgian from 5l2 to 1904.
The French quota drops from 1884 to 3,086;
the Portuguese from 503 to 440 the Rumanian
from 6O3 to 295. The Greek quota climbs. from
100 to 3O7.
To the pronounced brunettes from Southern
Europe must be added the quite dark MexicanS,
composed. in the main, Of native Indian and
Spanish stock. They have been coming over
the Mexican border within recent years in great
numbers. About $1,000 came over during 1928.
Few of the women are of the flashingly beauti-
ful type. like Dolores del Rio and Lupe Velez.
They are heavy brunette persons who seldom

who automatically become American citizens
without knowing what it Is all about.
REFORE 1921 Uncle Sam welcomed all man
ner Of strange people to his shores. He
put up practically no bars against them and
was receiving during a single year more than
100000 immigrants During the peak year,
1907, 1,2S534s immigrants were admitted.
Before 1882 about 80 per cent of American
immigrants were English, Irish, Scotch, Ger
mans and Scandinavians. After that time until
the quota law went into effect there was
more rapid increase Of immigration from South
ern and Eastern Euro cpe-from Italy Austria
Hungary, Russia and Greece. In 1902 they
were furnishing about 80 per cent of the total

States ut the time the 1920 census was taken.
It was exceedingly difficult to tell Just what

reasons, but mainly because the nationality a
