to work out theories regarding child

There are four steps in evolution
airy development which are true in
both the human and plant life. Bur-
bank recognizes the gradations in his
plant work, as did Stanford in the
breeding of fine horse stock. Even
so, they figure in the human race in
the development of children.
These four steps or gradations
are as follows: First, variation sec

qualities by heredity; third, selec-
ton, and fourth, cultivation and de-
velopment.
DR.. Jordan, president of Stanford
University, recognizes these same
steps in recent work.
AS far as concerns the first two
steps in evolutionary development,
those called variation and crossing,
they have been attended to Already

No Artificial Marriages.
This country of ours is the most
crossed, as far as races go, of any
nationality on the face of the globe.
We simply take the best representa-

Amy effort along the line of arti-
fetal marriage is failure, since true
marriage is where each party to the
contract is honestly in love with the
other freely and of his or her own &C

marriage would be failure.

Regulars and Militia Take Part in Big Game This Summer
A Minimum of Ceremony and No Merely Spectacular
Exhibitions--Details Provide For Progressive

Washington, D. G. - Preparations
have been completed by the War De-
partment for joint maneuvres during
the coming summer of all branches of
the regular service and many State
militia organizations, for which Con-
gress has appropriated $1,000, 900.
Instruction camps will be established
and maneuEres held for one month
at each place, as follows:
Pine Plains, N. Y, June s. to July

Chickamauga Park, Ca, July.
Leon Springs, Texas, July.
American Lake, Wash, August.

Fort BENJAMIN Harrison, Ind, Sep

Fort Riley, Kan, September.
Atascadero Ranch, Cal, October
The army maneuvres, which are to
be on a scale never before attempted
in the United States, are to be car
ried out by Major-General Frederick
D. Grant with the regulars of the De-
partment of the East and large force
of militia. The operations, says Gen
eral Grant, will include more men and
cover wider territory than any pre-
vious, and, as far as can be, they will
offer an approximation of warfare.
The plan of campaign includes two
separate series of operations, the first
on the coast, the second inland A
series of coast defense maneuvres will
be carried on simultaneously at the
various Notifications from Baltimore
to Boston. After four weeks of this
coast defense practice, the comman-

and national guards, will be thor
oughly seasoned to powder, while the
officers will have gained great famil-
iarity with the particular styles of
maneuvre involved, and the chiefs in
command will have plenty of valu-
able records as to the performances
of the troops and the efficiency of the
individual officers.
A month or more later will come

Forty-eight hours after his boys

and sculpture; the second therapeu-
tic curing of incurable diseases, like
spinal troubles, particularly; the
third, remedying backward children
who are deficient in some of the
senses, as in color perception or in
not hearing accurately, while the
fourth will be the selection of those
dozen children whom l will choose
this summer, and the educating of
them along the lines given in my spe-
cial educational system.
These particular twelve l will ed

I will charge for, as in other institu-

my methods of work with these

ordinary methods of teaching. For

Fort Monroe, Va.-On The broad
waters of Hampton Roads, near
where forty-slx years ago the Monitor
and the Merrimac riddled each other
with shot and shell, two modern mon
itors engaged in a bloodless contest
in the interest of naval science.
The monitor Arkansas, of 1925
tons, fired six shots at her sister ship,
the Florida, each of which was ac-
curately aimed and effective.
One of the shots fired by the Ar
kansas was 12-inch projectile load
ed with new high explosive This
shot struck the port plate of the Flor
ida's turret just little to the side
of dummy gun which had been
.5laced in position to take the place
of the regular 12-inch gun. The shot
smashed the 12-inch armor protect
ing the front of the turret and also
badly loosened the armor seams on
the side of the turret.
The naval experts declared after
this shot that the test had been highly
successful The force of the 12-inch
high explosive shell had been entirely
spent in crushing the armor plate and
the cloth screen placed inside the tur-
ret ports showed no damage, indicat-
ing that none of the fragments of the
exploding shell had entered the turret
ports and showing, as Chief Con-
structor Washington L. Capps de-
clared, that if any one had been in the
turret at the time the powerful pro-
iectile struck he would not have been
injured. The only occupant of the
turret was dummy man, arranged
with springs and wires to record the
shock. He was standing at the breech
of one of the dummy 12-inch guns
and was unhurt.
Five shots from 4-inch and 12-inch
guns of the Arkansas were also fired
at the experimental military mast on
the stern of the Florida but it with
stood the ordeal Several of the steel
rods composing it were severed by
the shells, but its stability was not
lessened by the shots.
The purpose of the tests was to de.
termine the effect of powerful gunfire
under modern battle conditions on
the fire control system, the turret
mechanism and other internal fittings
of the ship. AS soon as the 12-inch
shell exploded against the Flor1da s

ton L. Capps and Rear-Admiral New
ton E. Mason, chief of the Bureau OF
Ordnance, made an examination OF

fore the shot and that the 12-inch gun
mechanism, which was to certain ex.
tent shielded from the effect of the
explosion, could be elevated and de.
pressed as we'll as before the shot was
fired. In other words, while the pro.
iectile smashed the port plate. the
gear for moving the turret and for
handling the guns and ammunition
was not damaged.
1t was the first time in the history
of the United States Navy that actual
conditions of warfare have been re.
produced for experimental purposes.
