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

Why Keep
Advertising?
When Business Is Slack
Why Advertise?
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.
