The Pygmold* are , found in Africa and Malaysia, they are also found in Sumatra, Dutch Guinea and the Ptullpplnc Islands The Bushmen and Hottentots are also of Pygmoid stock and are, found in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa There is some evi dence that they are Mongoloid 10; j well as Negroid. The Mongoloid race (which is commonly called the "yeliow" race, includes the Lgro-Flnns, the Sini Ucs (Chinesei, the Mongols, the American Indians, and the Eskimo The Ugro-Finns are widely scatter ed along the northern parts of F.ur ope and Asia, from Siberia to the Scandinavian Peninsula. The Chi nese are almost exclusively Sinltic in origin The Japanese are mixed Sinltic and Ainu The Siniuc have also mixed Into the races found in northern India; Nepal. Tibet and Burma The Malaysians are basic ally Mongoloid., hut in many ot the ' smaller islands In the area, they i have a strong admixture of Cau casian stock The earth's population is ap proximately 43(T Mongoloid. 33T Caucasoid and 3-tri Negroid. But ! since practically none of those race classifications are "pure" in origin, these figures are certainly open to question. In skin coloring, which is the i most common and arbitrary man ner pf distinguishing persons of various racial backgrounds, It is interesting to note the great vari ance in coloring within these basic groups. The skin-coloring of the Caucasoid or "white" race varies from pinkish-white and olive to dark brown Negroes range from light brown to dark brown and b,a< k. Tpc Mongoloids range from saffron-yellow to light shades of brown and reddish brown. Other physical characteristics that scientists take into considera 1 tiqn in determining racial origin are shape of the skull, shape of the nose, -hape of the 11PS and shape of tlie eye-lids. However the 1 variations of these characteristics art' so grOat with in each racial group that they certainly cat not be ' called definitive. For example, , thick Lips are generally considered ! to be a definite Negroid feature, i but there are many Negroes with thin lips, and many Caucasoids and 1 Mongoloids with thick lips Nose shaps probably vary more within any racial stock than do any other feature, you can probably see every shape of nose known to man kihd right on Main Street In VVi, nesvillc. There are many per sons whose Caucasoid race history is as ' pure" as can be found any where on earth . whose eyelids Would definitely be classified as Mongoloid. Hair characteristics are also coo- j fusing Mongoloids have predom inantly coarse. dark straight hair, but so have many Caucasoids and Negroids. Science has long exploded the claims that some races are biologic ally suoerlor or inferior to other races Civilizations of any race may be advanced or retarded, and the people within them may have greater or lesser opportunities to develop their own personal abil ities. People who live in advanced civilizations, regardless of racial oriein develop much more rapid ly than do oconle who live in re tarded civilizations There is no evidence that any single race, and single peonlc. or any single nation has a special ccnlus for creating or developing civilization. Race is also often confused with nationality. We hear people speak of the "German" race or the "Ital ian" race or the "F.nelish" rare. In doing so people confuse languages ar.d national political boundaries With race.

You get action whether you're just starting otT -or asking for a safety-surge of po\% er out on the highway. there's nothing like it in past expe rience? because there has never been anything like it in an automobile before. This is action that comes from the principle of variable pitch propellers used on modern planes. Their propel ler blades change "pitch" for take-off -and cut hundreds of feet off the time required to lift a plane from a rumvax. And the amazing fact is ? in a 1955 liuiek Dynaflow Drive there are 20 little propeller-like blades that also change their pitch, just like the pro peller blades of a plune.
