Variety Stores Informal Opening.

An Informal opening Of Hudson's New

ness he was forced to seek larger quar-
ters. and moved across the street to 416.
where he has been in business for seven
or eight years. Some time ago Mr. Hud-
son. finding his business was continually
growing and that he should be more CEN
trally located, decided to erect the new

Take This Seriously.


The committee that will report on the
subject to the meeting Of the association
has not yet organized or its line OF study
and research been mapped, out. The new
committee Is known as the committee on
eugenics and will organize at some time
In the near future. --@-'s- .t.
3 The foregoing are some of the popular
conceptions Of the new committee and the
methods 1t will pursue. AS a matter of
fact none of them are correct. The Ameri-
can Breeders Association Is an actually.
The committee on eugenics has been ap-
pointed, as indicated above. But while Prof
Hays Is one Of the leading spirits of the
organization and its headquarters are in
official standing and none of its work is
governmental, though some of 1t is along
closely parallel lines to that of the De-
partment of. Agriculture.
The association is, as it's name implies
for the study of breeding in all its
branches. There are stock breeders and
plant breeders on its list, and there are
even scientists who make specially of
breeding bacteria and micro-organisms like
the MISUNDERSTANDING bacteria for use in
the bureau of soils and the disease produc-
ing bacteria cultivated by the biological
survey.
The special committee appointed will have
to do with the study of heredity in man,
and will try to coordinate some of the
scattered observations that have already
been made. 1t is thought possible to tell
even from the data at hand how far hered-
ity and how far environment are RESPONSE
BILE for the development of human beings.
There are certain physical defects that are
unquestionably hereditary. Others are DOS
sibly so. 1t will be sought to tell how far
heredity has to do with the transmission of
blindness. deafness and similar defects,
and whether the problem is serious enough
to warrant recommending law to limit the
marriage of such detectives.
The question of moral traits is more In
volved than that of physical ones and it
will take more study to determine whether
criminal instincts, proneness to drugs and
intoxicants and similar failings are trans
mittable like red hair and turned-up noses
1t Is quite possible. however. to work out
tolerably comprehensive theory from the
study of the human documents at hand
1t Is quite possible that the researches of
the committee may in the future result In
the recommendation for some statute re-
stricting the marriage laws. But it Win be
a long time before the study is far enough
advanced for the association to seriously
take up the problem of improving the hu-
man race by breeding as it does cattle and
watermelons at the present time.

WVNT BETTER BABIES
Committee of Scientists Will
Study Their Breeding.
COMMITTEE ON EUGENICS
Records Needed of Heredity and of
Environment.
WEDDING OUT DETECTIVES
Possibility That Intending Couples
May Have to Pass Physical and
Moral Examination.

People may look out for the time when
the government seriously takes up the
breeding Of babies as 1t has already done
that OF plants and animals. It will then be
necessary for couples to get the wise of the
Secretary Of Agriculture or some other Of
fetal on their marriage certificate and to
pass woree than a civil service examination
before their banns are proclaimed. The ex-
animation, to be thorough. will have to
cover not only their mental, moral and
physical characters, but their genea1ogy as
we'll.
1t may take more time than the Depart
ment of Agriculture can devote to the mat
ter and the Importance Of the subject may
lead to the Institution of marriage censor
ship commission. similar to the present In
terstate commerce commission. or possibly
1t may be made into separate department,
under a secretary. with seat at the cab
met table. Though it Is lust possible the
matter will simply be controlled by bu-
reau under the Secretary of the Interior,
where It would seem the matter naturally
belongs.
The subject has been seriously taken up
by the scientists Of the Department of Agrl-
culture. and a committee has been ap-
pointed by Prof. Hays. assistant secretary
OF agriculture. who Is also the secretary
Of the American Breeders Assoc. ation This
nent men Of the scientific world. It in
cludes Prof. Alexander Graham Bell of
Washington; David Starr Jordan Of Leland
Stanford University, Maj. Chas. Wooaruff
of the Army Medical Corps, Chas. A. Hen
derson Of the University of Chicago c. w.
Ward Of New York and Rev ]. E. Gilbert
of Washington. This committee will study
the practical aspects of the matter and
make report to the meeting of the Breed
ers' Association, which convenes in CO.
lunbns, Ohio, January Is to 1S of the COM
ing year
The American Breeders Association was
organized by Prof. Hays before he came
Into the Department of Agriculture. 1t al
ready has membership of over LOCO, and
VIII look forward to the report of the COM
mittee with great interest. 1t was ex-
planned by one Of the officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture who was dnter-
viewed. that the possibilities of this ex-
haustlve study in heredity are almost limit
less. The breeding Of human being Is more
important even than the breeding of stock
and Of plants 1t Is harder to control, but
1t Is subject to certain laws that till now
have been inadequately understood.
