[w=] NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1928 L0 SPOT LINKS THD HUMANRACES Mongolian Pecaliarity in Babies Explained New York, Sept. 21 UP—A trace which rtill exists of the time when American red Indians and Mongo- lian yellow peoples come possibly of the same parent race was described today before the International Con- gress of Americanists here. Frederick L. Hoffman of Welles- ley, Mass, described this trace as the “Mongolian blue spot.” This is a mark which sometimes appears upon babies of Mangalian.stock, and which -disappears a few months after birth, Mr. Hoffman said he had seen this spot upom 50 babies of the American Navaho Indians in the southwest. -He told also of hav- ing observed it among South Ameri- can Indians and sald: “Nowhere is this Mongol origin more apparent than among cermn tflhe- of South America.” Mr. Hoffman vredlcted success for an attempt begun this summer to use finger printing to take an accurate census of the Navaho In- dians, about whose numbers in their southwestern United States reserva- tion there has always been doubt. FLU EPIDEMIC S FOLLOWING STORM Many Residents of Porto Rico Stricken With Disease San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 21 P An epidemic of influenza has start- eod in Porto Rico, Red Cross offi- clals found in making a survey of approximately quarter of the area devastated by the tropical hurricane, The officials believed today that a dangerous epidemic was in prospect it persons exposed to the storm were not given immediate shelter, In the area surveyed 35,450 homes were destroyed and 2,361 persons injured, including 270 who have been placed in hospitals. At Guayama, 200 cases of influenza made necessary the establishment of a temporary hospital, for which tents were sent from San Juan. It was feared that in addition to influenza, typhold fever and malaria might increase the death toll. Re- lief workers were also faced with the necessity of immediately feeding 154,000 persons in the area sur- veyed. The army was aiding the Red Cross work in every way, most of the trucks which were damaged in the storm having been repaired and yut into service. e steamship Padrico was load- ed vllh 200 lanl of food for ship- ment to Arréyo on the southeast coast. yo is the seaport for the Gua§ama district, and the food will be distributed at the port and throughout the district. Politicians, many of whom were named on local relief committee, must not handle relief measures, Henry M. Baker, Red Cross direc- tor of disaster relief, asserted. He emphasized that food and supplies must get to people who need it most in the shortest possible time. The municipal political squabble in San Juan which resulted in the refusal of the municipal assembly to vote the mayor money for clear- ing the streets of garbage and de- bris was dealt with by Commission- er Estedes of the ipterior depart- ment. The commissioner, whose or- ganization already has cleared most of the island’s 1,000 miles of roads, placed’ twenty of the department's trucks at the disposal of the city for clearing up the refuse. NAPOLEON WINS BACK Paris, Sept. 21 (UP)—When the French Empire was overthrown after /Bedan, in 1870, and the Third Republic inaugurated the enthusi- astic townsfolk of Laffrey (Isere) in their joy, overthrew the bronze monument to Napoleon Bonaparte which the village had erected by popular subscription during the Em- peror’s heydey. Now that spirits have calmed the citizens of Laffrey regret their de- structive enthusiasm and have pe- titioned the government to give back the statute, which has been gathering patina in a national warehouse. The citizens have con- tributed the funds to put Napoleon back on his pedestal and the Re- publican government has con- sented. WORKERS HONORED Moscow, Sept. 21 (UP)—The cov- eted Soviet title “Hero of Labor"— which means the same here as does membership in the Legion of Honor elsewhere—has been awarded by the ZIK, highest legislative body in the Soviet Union, to five simple workingmen.

The instructions of the minister were issued in response to a peti- tion by the Dutch East Indies Chinese who claim that the co! pecially in Kukien, Kwantung and Hunan, are due to the communist call for marriages without cost, which appeal strongly to the finan- clally-pressed youth. Marriages in the southern prov- inces are extravagant affairs, par- it they were pleces of real estate, worth @ certain amount on the mar- riage market, but generally the par- ents ask dots of at least $300 te 5400 for their daughters. It the marriage etforts are suc- cesstul, further expenses are in- curred for the marriage ceremcny expenses, wedding feasts and the services of the go-between which generally bring the cost up to $1,000. As a result of such ex- penses, it is no unusual t.ing nowadays to sce a man of 30 or 40 years of age remaining single— | ¥ a disgrace in Chinese eyes. The Nationalist government now has decided that the parents of marfiageable girls will not be | permitted to receive more than $150 from the man who proposes, but if the girl is a widow the bas- gain money should not exceed $100. The Minister of the his notification, points out abuses occur in matrimonial prac- Interior, in | assistance of the provincial au- | thorities to help him to cheapen and facilitate marriages in the country.
