CONCLUSION REACHED THAT MOST IMMIGRANTS CHANGE CHARACTERISTICS WHEN THEY ARRIVE IN AMERICA.

Washington, D. C. Dpc. IS That families grow smaller while the individual members thereof increase in size as a result of Immigration from Europe to America, Is the conclusion of the immigration commission, whose report has been submitted to

congress. This reasoning was regard- j td as a blow to the Roosevelt race j suicide theory. The commission finds i that children in small families are!

larger, better developed and stronger than those in large families. Small Families Best. The commission has had this and various related anthropological ques

tions studied with great care, and it

conies out strongly for the smaller family, by implication. The Inquiry as to the merits of small and large families was made in all social strata, and it was found that among the rich and well to do, as well as among the immigrants and the poor, the rule is equally true; the children of small families are larger and better developed and seem to be started in the world with a better capital of constitution and health than those of large families. This Is only one of the highly interesting things the commission is discovering. It has conducted in New

York city, a long study of the physic

cal development of tiie children of immigrants, with the remarkable conclusion that there is a decided tendency among children born In America to Immigrants to approximate ntarer and nearer to the American type. Long Heads Grow Short. This is attributed to the fact that climatic and social conditions induce the change. Thus it is declared that the long headed Sicilians produce children who are more round headed and the round headed emigrants from eastern Europt prouce children that are more long headed in both cases the tendency being toward the average American type. This change of physical formation is observable immediately after immigrants come here and in the second generation it continues. In the case of one class of Immigrants, however, it is found that the change after coming to America is in the direction of retrogression. This class includes the south of Italy peoples, who at home are accustomed to live much out of doors. When they come to New York and live indoors in tenements there is a tendency to develop a poorer type. American Type Develops. The commission gives a detailed study of a vast amount of data concerning immigrants of other nationalities and their physical tendencies In the United States, especially Scotch, Hungarians and Bohemians. The general conclusion which seems warranted by t'.ie limited scope of the study thus far is that a distinctive American type is developing in this country which will be different from any European type and to which all classes of Americans tend to assimilate, even without consideration of the effects of intermarriage. The report concludes: " This would indicate the conclusion that racial, physical characteristics do wl survive under the new social and climatic environment of America. The adaptability of the various races coming together on our shores seems, if these indications shall be fully borne out in later study to be much greater

than had been anticipated. If the American environment can bring about an assimilation of the head forms in the first generation, may it not be that other or vacteristics may be as easily modified and that there may be a rapid assimilation of widely varying nationalities and races to something that may well be called an American type?" To Complete Inquiry. The commission feels that it is too early to pronounce absolutely upon this question. "The investigation is by no means complete and moreover, considering the importance of the subject, it should clearly be conducted on a larger scale and in different surroundiugs in various parts of the country, and perhaps also be checked up by certain investigations made upon the same races elsewhere."

Kcene, who will marry Frederick Kernochan, a New York magistrate, who spends his mornings in a police court and his evenings in the drawing rooms of the Four Hundred. Magistrate Kernochan's reported engagement recalls at once his remarks to a young woman, who had her husband arrested for breaking into his own home and mussing up the furniture. After the young woman had told her story in court, she added, "You know how these things are, judge." "I do not." he replied. "I am not a married man and never expect to be." Miss Howland is regarded as one of the most beautiful women in New York society. Her father lives in Paris with his second wife. Mr. Kernochan was graduated from Yale in !S!kS.

Mrs. Eddy's One-Legged Cook

Held by Immigration Officials, Despite the Fact the nary Artists Says She Is Self-supporting.

Culi-

Boston, Mass., Dec. 18. "Is a onelegged cook as good a cook as a twolegged cook?" On the final answer to this interesting question depends whether Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, will get her Imported cook, Mrs. Mary A. Ettirger, a widow. years old. , . Mrs. Ettinger arrived here on the Ivernin from Liverpool on Friday and is detained. By careful inspection the immigration authorities learned that she had an artificial leg. The female inspeetoi, making further search, found another artificial leg in Mrs. Ettinger's baggage. "The woman cannot support herself," said the immigration authorities, after learning of the second artificial leg.

' She has no leg to stand on." The artificial leg in her luggage is built for the same leg as that other on3 on which Mrs. Ettinger stands. So she contends she is not only self-supporting but one and one half times self supporting. She has sent this argument to the Department of Commerce and Labor in Washington as proof that she should be admitted to this country. She said today in the detention station at Long wharf: "I don't see that the number of my tegs interferes with my ability to cook. If I were a centipede I could not cook any better. Mrs. Eddy has agreed to pay me very good wages, and I am and will be self-supporting even on one lea;.

Chicago. Dec. IS. A "college vampire" in the guise of a married woman caused John Bross Lloyd, youngest son of the late Henry D. Lloyd and

grandson of the late William Brosi, millionaire and one time Governor of Illinois, to break off family ties, leave Harvard university at the end of his

sophomore year in 1907 and completely disappear with her. The remarkable story was drawnthrough compulsion from the lips of William Bross Lloyd, millionaire socialist and lawyer and brother of the missing man, on the witness stand in Municipal Judge Blake's court. The climax to the "rattling of the family skeleton" came when the brother was made to admit he himse'f introduced the woman, known as Mrs. W. E. McGraw, of Boston, to his brother, who was then but twenty years old. Seldom Referred To. The disappearance of the young millionaire had heretofore been a mystery. In north side soeitty circles and in Winnetka, where the Lloyds have a summer home, John Lloyd's name is seldom spoken. Yesterday brought forth the first inkling of the secret that has been hidden for more than two years. The revealing of the "college vampire" and the story of the young millionaire's infatuation for her came during the hearing of the suit of former Judge Hiram T. Gilbert against William Boss Lloyd, of Winnetka, Dr. Henry D. Lloyd, of Boston and Demarest Lloyd, automobile manufacturer of Boston, all brothers of John Bross Lloyd, for $40,000. which he says is due bim as attorney's fees. Attorney Gilbert was retained by the Lloyd brothers as counsel to settle a dispute if the $6,000,000 estate left them by their grandfather, William Bross, under the terms of his will could be distributed among them at once.

Kaffir Banking. The Kaffirs have a simple method of banking. Before setting out to trade they select one of their number as their banker and put all their money in his bag. When an article Is pur

chased by any of those who are in this combine the price is taken by the banker from the bag, counted several times and then paid to the seller, after which all the bauk depositors cry out to the banker in the presence of two , witnesses selected, "You owe me so much." This is then repeated by the witnesses. The general accounting comes between the banker and his several depositors when all the purchases

have been made, after which all the natives go home.
