PAGE TWO On Our Way lo Become A. Nation Os Morons By DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer s BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 22. Race hygiene is tue only salvation of America. Professor Karl F. Meyer, director of the Hooper Foundation of Medical Research at the University of Cali fornia, makes this assertion and goes on to say that we are headed in the “right direction to become a na tion of morons.” “There is nothing new about this assumption,” says Meyer. “Medical men have known it for years, but we have been unable to put it to the public in such away that they will understand it. However, it will not ■ be many months before some means is devised w hereby this fact can be driven home to every man and wo man in the United States. “America is paying a big price for being the world’s melting pot. “Our uneducated class inter marry, and are content to live on an inferior scale. They do not cultavate their minds, and as a result their children are growing up weakmind de. “With birth control practices de cimating the ranks of the better classes and the propagation of the unfit going on at an alarming rate, we are fast deteriorating. A recent survey of Vtftsar graduates showed the average size of their families to be one-half a child. And the ma jority' of them are not even marry ing. “How then,” asks Professor Mey er, "are we to keep up the superiori ty of America? What kind of a na tion will we eventually become, with the fit bearing no children and the unfit raising k>rge families?” ® ! e ‘ S ‘ ‘ • IW, up the facts if they are fact. Leading wets are studying them, to determine waat they’re worth. The drys, not perturbed, never theless are alert. in 1791 President Washington couldn’t persuuade residents of the district villages of Hamburgh and Carrollbugh to sell their land to t u government. The state of Mary land was appealed to and Dee. 19, tat same year, it ceded the tract Vt ashington wanted. it did also, however, upon various ■conditions applicable, Soif says, to the district. Among other things, I. ey included certain reguglations the saie of drink. this compact, agreed to at the t.. a by the federal government, ap -1 . is never to have been rescinded or modified and Soif contends t -it it takes precedence, perhaps not of' the eighteenth amendment, but at * ny rate of the Volstead law, which gi\es the amendment force. Or if no., Soif argues, the agreement has b in broken by the government and t e distirct, Washington and all, re verts to Maryland. Washington motorists are so much bov ered by pedestrians that Traffic Director Eldridge finally called Manager E. B. Lefferts of the public safety (safety autoists) depart ment of the Automobile Club of southern California into counsel. He chose Lefferts because in Los An geles, where the California man lives he had heard the pedestrian pest has practically been stamped out. “It’s quite true,” Lefferts assur ed him. “We got the Los Angeles pedestrians under control five years ago and have kept them, iron-uand edly, ever since.” He looked over the local situation and was shocked. "A more unruly lot of pedestrians I never saw,” he told Eldridge. “T ey’re a disgrace to the nation's capital. Jail! Jail! That’s the rem edy. t o Washington pedestrians who get in autoists’ way are to be ar rested iu future, if Director Eldridge recommendation is approved. The distiict commissioners must okeh it f.rsc, however, and strange to say, there are a few reactionary residents who are urging them to turn it down. The land and property invested in almshouses during 1924 was valued at $150,000,000.

Board of County Commissioners of Stewart County has considered the matter of paving a portion of State Highway No. 1, and at a meeting ’ held in their office recently, a reso-I lution was adopted authorizing the pavement; of five and one-half miles' of road on this highway bteween I Cusseta and Lumpkin. The paving involves an expend!-’ ture of $272,000 of which Stewart I County is to furnish $17,000 cash;! the county also agreed to do the j grading of 10 miles of Route No. 1,1 the portion to be graded being that extending from Louvale to Lumpkin.' This is the first step that Stewart' County has taken in the paving, and is the first paving project to start on State Highway No. 1 South of the Muscogee line. This is an important link on the ' trunk line which extends from Chat-’ tanooga, entering Georgia on the ’ Northern border and extending Set th 'by Atlanta and Columbus, i passing directly through Lumpkin, then on to Tallahassee, Fla., where connection is made with ether high ways over the state. ? A Massachusetts farmer in 1790 spent only $7 to maintain his family and operate his farm; all other essen tials were made on the farm.

This policey, he said, should not be based upon the idea of hermetically sealing the nation’s resources to pre serve them for future general con ventions but upon the common sense plan of using what is needed, but elimination of waste. The review, which officials inti mated contains some of the recom mendations the secretary will include in his annual report, also suggests a comprehensive survey to determine a definite government policy for all phases of the Colorado river’s devel opment, for the increase use of wa ter powers as a means of conserving the nation’s coal resources, and so; the conservations of the fertility of the soil in farming sections, a sub ject which he declared had not re ceived proper consideration in por grams already adopted.
