NEAREST TO BRITISH, BUT ALREADY DIFFERENT Racial Deterioration Not to Be Feared From Immigration Policies, Scientist Avers. ———-- A distinct American type of man, characterized by features which ac- Curately describe the average Amer- ican business man, has been dis- covered by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, an- thropologist of the Smithsonian institution. The scientist made known his discovery yesterday, after exhaustive studies on the sub- Rie ject. pce Rt a The American type of man ss |described in this way, by Hrdlicka: “It is characterized by tall stature, being the tallest of all the larger groups of white people; by, on the average, a medium pig- mentation of the hair, with scarcity of adult blonds, prevalently mixed eyes, or light ones showing more or Fred Miller, Post Staff Photographer.

The proposed introduction of a national department. of education was condemned by Father Ryan. ‘‘There is no public demand for such a department,” he said, ‘‘and pro- ponents of the new department have manufactured propaganda in favor of it mainly for their own financial interests.’’ “The bureau of education under the Interior Department is function- ing in a satisfactory manner,’’ said, “‘through its research s¢ientific. departments. Any seriously trying to help the cause) of education can aid more by giving the bureau assistance than by at- temptine to divert Federal funds into unnecessary hands.”’ Mrs. James F. Hartnett was re- ejected governor of the’ chapter, Other officers named were Mrs. Rie- man M. Chesley, first vice-governor; Miss Anna J. Keady, second vice- sovernor; Mrs. James H.

ROBBED ALSO IN OCTOBER: | A lone robber walked calmly into | 'a branch store of the Atlantic &. Pacific Tea Co. at 1630 R street | northwest ‘evening at 6:55 yesterday o’clock let containing $5. The robber was white, according | to Edward Sheehy, Giles Walton, the manager, and clerk, and E. | Lally, cf the Portner apartments, a | 'customer, who was in the store at | the time. It was the second time that this | branch store has been robbed. On October 1 last a white man looted the cash regisier of $110 and got | ‘away. This time Sheehy was bette! | $50 | to | prepared as he had _ hidden away where it would be hard find. The fact that the collector for the chain store system had been there about an hour before’ the nighwayman also saved the store considerable cash as most of the money was taken from the register for safe keeping. According to the statements of the manager, the clerk and the cus- | tomer, the robber pulled out a pis- tol suddenly and ordered all three into the back room. He then emptied the cash register and while doing so waved and ordered the three men te hand over their belongings. He went through Walton’s pockets and took his wallet. Apparently afraid to stay longer, the robber then backed away to- ward the front door. As he reached the door a colored woman customer fingered the latch, and the robber then opened it for her'and quickly disappeared down the street. Detectives Edward Kelly and Ar- thur Scrivener were upon the scene soon after the robbery. Sheehy told the detectives that he was cer- tain the robber who visited the store on October 1 last and the man who robbed the cash register last night were different persons.

Type Called a Good One. Dr. Hrdlicka declared the Ameri- can type to be ‘‘a good one.’”’ It is} nearest to that of its main progeni- | tors, the British, he stated, although | in stature, physiognomy and be-' havior it is already more or less| different. The work which is now | completed on the subject, the scien- tist stated, shows that the older, stock has approached the forma-; tion of a strictly American type} which is only found in its perfect | form in the United States. Thorough comparison of data, col- | lected on old Americans and immi-| granis, Dr. Hrdlicka said, justified | him in answering in the negative the question whether there were scientific grounds for fearing racial deterioration as a result of former liberal immigration policies. Judg- ing from the success of chiidren of older immigrants, Dr. Hrdlicka de- clared, ‘‘all that is necessary is op- portunity for wholesome develop- ment in favorable American en- vironment.’’ Many immigrants have shown this to be true, he added. TWO ALLEGED LIQUOR PEDDLERS ARRESTED Police Report Finding Still and Whisky in an H Street House. Members of Capt.
