\ /. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, ldS8 THE cxpirroy chronicle, clinton, s. a Life’s Farewells PAGE SETEM Monfft^an Idiots t Mongolian idiots, or cliildren born of normal white parents, yet resem- bli;ig Mongolians in features and in variably mentally deficient, were first | recognized in 1843 in France, andj since that time medical literature hast been more or less replete with refer ences to them. At one time it wasj thought that Jews and Negroes were' immune from this condition and that' it was confined exclusively to the Caucasian race. Up to the present writing there are known to be many European Jews who have become pa rents of these unfortunate children, and in Ameiiica there are thirty-two recognized Negro Mongolian ^ idiots. Out of 2,090 children bom in a *large hospital, 177 were Mongolian idiots and of these 24 were children of Jews, a ,very heavy percentage indeed. A re cent canvass of the population of the United States reveals the fact that Mongolianism is twice as common among w’hite chlidren as those of Negroes. During the past year I have had a four-hundred-word night telegram from an expectant mother in a West ern city whose husband had a relative give birth to one of these unfortu nates, and who has advised his wife that if she had a “Chinese baby" he would kill her and the laundryman living beneath their apartment. She asked me what to do, and I wrote her husband that the possibilities of such a child being born to him is 0.0016 per cent of our 120,000,000 population, for that is the ratio in the United States. I also infonnetl this man-that should | such a thing happen that in all prob-; ability he would be the one respon-j sible, inasmuch as a relative of his! h'id previously given birth to such a' child. In this case I believe I have averte<l a possible tragedy for the husband has written and thanked me for my information and accepted my statement. As a rule, these children are harm less, and seldom live to be more than twenty years of age, but they should be placed in institutions because they are bound to disrupt family affairs sooner or later, and need the care !

Did yOu ever notice that it takes time and experience to accomplish anything worth while? You can’t advertise to day and expect to find your store crowded tomorrow unless you have through constant ad vertising educated the public to read your ads. The majority of people are slow to act. You have to tell them the same thing over and over again before they will heed your message. Advertise now for the busi- ne.ss you want to do next week. It’s the cumulative effect that brings results. An advertisement every week in The Chronicle will keep the trade in touch with yonr store.
