ROTARIANS OF
AMERICUS HAVE
GREAT FROLIC
“I have attended many conven
tions and gatherings in the last twen
ty years, but none that 1 have en
joyed as much or from which I de
rived the same uplift or good as that
in Atlanta Friday,’ was the way Ro
tarian Joseph Perkins sized up the
state Rotary meeting in Atlanta
which was attended by thirteen mem
bers of the local club, accompanied
by four Americus women. Others
who made the trip were as enthus
iastic as Mr. Perkins. AU declared
it to have been a delightful trip,
and to have given them a new in
sight into the heart of Rotary and I
the hearts of the men who compose ,
Rotary. There was fun and frolic, .
but the serious side of the gathering .
impressed all of them most.
The Americus party was headed I
by President “Bill” Dykes, and con- ;
sisted of the following other mem- ;
bers: Vice-President J. E. Hightow- |
er, Frank Lanier, Carr Glover, Love
lace Eve, Frank Harrold, “Doc”
Howell, Joe Johnson, Joe Perkins,
Colonel Ira A .Rader, “Dick” Tay
lor, Mrs. Joe Johnson, Mrs. Carr
Glover, Miss Dorothy Deyo andiMrs.
“Dick” Taylor.
The Americus Rotarians, compos
ing the “baby” club of the state,
has planned a novel stunt, but it
was said Brookhaven club, where the
club stunts were staged, was so
crowded that it was impossible to
put it on. Instead of the stunt, Presi
dent Dykes announced that Miss
Deyo would sing, which she did, ac
companied by’ Mrs. Johnson. Her rich
and full baritone, so unusual in
women, made a great hit. Miss Deyo
was followed by Mrs. Taylor who re
ceived prolonged applause with her
“stuttering” song. The Atlanta pa
pers of Saturday contained photos
of the ladies of the party and va-

BLONDES DYING
DDT IN AMERICA
Big Wars Gradually Eliminate
Northern Types, Says
Ethnologist.
I
I ,
I New York.—The blondes pre doojned
as a result of the world war!
They will be swallowed up—racially
—by the bruuettes.
Real blonde Americans are becom
; inc fewer. American women are tend
ing to a neutral type, with brown rath
| er than golden hair and brown eyes
instead of blue. This foreshadows
I the triumph of the still darker bru
| nette type In America, where the old
i strains of northern European blood are
: being swallowed by the later immigra
tion to this country. Soon a blende
beauty will be an exception, and
“American beauty” will mean the Span
ish, French or Italian type.
Such is the prediction, expressed in
scientific language, <W course, of Madi
son Grant, trustee of the American
Museum of Natural History and coun
i cilor of th? £merietm Geographical so
i defy, who lias made a study of the
of tlje war, superimposed on cen
' furies of slow progression on the part
| of the brunette, in his book, “The Pass
ing of the Great Race,” published by
, Scribner
Makes Matters Worse.
The world war, he says, has made
matters worse for the blonde because
it is the blonde Nordic element in all
peoples that invariably makes the
greatest sacrifices in war, while the
less energetic brunette element
emerges from each wprld struggle
i stronger in number than before.
Up to the middle of the nineteenth
; century the native American, Mr. Grant
points out, was the almost purely Nor
! die. The Civil war destroyed a large
part of the breeding stock of the
blonde races, and the immigration
, since then has been largely from the
I Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.
Mr. Grant believes Hint the destruc
' tion of life of the blondes in the pres
. ent war has been so Immensely great
er than that of the brunette that a
| great step has been taken in wiping
1 out the blonde type.
“The world war will leave Europe
' much poorer in Nordic blood,” he says.
He points out how the blonde race
has been absorbed by the brunette all
! over the world, and cites the Aryan
conquerors of northern India, who im
posed their language and customs on
the natives, but were swallowed up
in the darker stream of blood.
He thinks that the same thing will
happen in the United States, and that
the only hope of a relatively pure type
of blonde community is in northwest
Canada, which because of its climate
is suitable for the blonde types and
unsuitable for the brunettes.
SHOWS THE NEED.
The need of free clinics for treat
ment of venereal diseases in the
smaller cities was conclusively dem
onstrated with the opening of the one
in Danville, Virginia, this month.
Following a cam
paign of lectures and the distribution
of pamphlets 82 persons made applica
tion for treatment.
AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
THIRD RED CROSS
ROLLCALL ISSET
FORNOV.2TOH
The third Red Cross roll call will
be held in Americus, along with the
rest of the country, November 2-11,
when the American people will be
1 asked to contribute for
t the future work of the organiza
i tion.
Foremost of the Red Cross peace i
: program will be nation-wide activity •
for the promotion of public health, i
and hand in hand with this crusade
will go a vigorous campa : gn for the
entension of the country's nursing re
sources. This is a broadening of the
Red Cross home service, which in the
war proved a tower of strength and |
helpfulness to the families of sold
| iers and sailors. But this plan of,
• the Red Cross public health campaign
calls for the co-operation of the peo-!
pie of every town, and the co-oper i-
I tion of the health-promotion and dig-1
• ease-prevention organizations all
over the United States, acting by it-
i self where no health agency now ex- i
ists in an effort to reduce the high
mortality due to preventable disease
j and to improve health conditions.
Public health nursing will be one
jof the important features of this |
| campaign. Red Cross public health ;
nurses will be assigned to as many I
small communities as possible, thus 1
extending to the rural population the
j bedside nursing, school inspection,
classes in hame nursing and search
for tuberculosis and other preventa
j ble disease that has been so effective
iin our cities and towns. In this con
nection it is planned to offer to ev
ery woman in America instruction in
home hygiene, care of the sick and
home dietetics, thus providing first
i hand knowledge of how to keep the
family well and what to do where ill
i ness or accident cannot be avoided.
| These courses are now being intro
j duced in the public schools and col
' leges, and are offered department
! store employes, factory operatives,
i girl scouts and others, fitting them to
! help combat infant and child mor
: tality, unsanitary living conditions,
preventable diseases, and even epi
demics. Eighteen ladies of the
Plains branch of the Americus and
Sumter County Red Cross organiza
tion have already signed for the
course in hopie hygiene and care of
the sick, and are just awaiting the
| appointment of the Red Cross nurse
to be sent here from Atlanta. Such
couises, Red Cross authorities say,,
are needed right here in Americus,
and they urge that they be commenc
ed before cold weather sets in with
the usual attendant increase in ill
ness and disease.
The Red Cross home service among
the families of American soldiers and
sailors has brought out the import
! ant fact that 90 per cent, of the
I places where the home service is n--w
ii operation there is no other social
v.oik agency. Accordingly, there is
a» imperative demand, na.’onal in
sc- pe, Red Cross authorities say, that
tins serv.<e, with its thousands of;
trained workers be continued and ex
panded to assist all needy families in
communities where no other neigh
borhood social service is at hand.
Where social agencies are establish
ed, the Red Cross will not interfere
with their work, but co-operate and
co-ordinate with these organizations
when requested to do so. As always,
the Red Cross will always hold itself
ready to render any service to sold
iers, sailors and their families, and
give instant relief in time of public |
disaster, such as fires, floods, cy- |
clones, pestilence, famine or epidem- '
ics,

DOINGS OF THE BOYSCOUTS
OF THE AMERICUS TROOP
The regular meeting of the Boy

Chamber of Commerce, and it being
the first regular meeting since our
return from camp, many important

The devotional part of the meet- '

Scouts was called to the rule of the
Scout law forbidding profanity and :

We urge all parents to co-operate

boys of Americus to consider our or
ganization and the things that it
stands for in this community. Think
of these facts for a moment: It is
the only national organization
Youth of America in which the full
duties of citizenship are taught. Ev
ery great American since its organ
ization has been an advocate of the
Scout movement. It is the only
organization of boys in America
where the true ideals of American
Knighthood are taught. It affords
an opportunity for expression of
those wonderful ambitious, religious
and patriotic sentiments of the boys
life. Is the organization worthy of
jour support!
