GIVING CHILDREN
TRAITS DESIRED.
What May Be Done With
Human Species.

Boston, Mass, March 11.-Prof. w.
Z. Castle, of Harvard, who has prev
iously startled scientists by his ex-
periments with guinea pigs and rab-
bits, in actual demonstration of the
mendelian laws governing heredfty
announced at a meeting of the Boston
Scientific Society he expects soon that
the breeding of the human species can
be accomplished along scientific lines,
and that characteristics can be de-
termined in advance.
The reproduction of the species.
Prof. Castle said, is a chemical pro-
cess and can begoverned as we'll as
any chemical process now occurring
IN the laboratory. We have but to
know the laws, he said, and then ap-
ply them, to produce the sort of hui
man being desired, and the remaining
step to be taken, he said, is a short
one
BY experimenting with animals,
Prof Castle asserted he has discov-
cred certain laws governing heredity
and by applying them he can now pro-
duce rabbits, mice and guinea pigs any
OF a large number of physical charac-
terlstics he may determine in advance.
lie has even been able to produce
an extra toe and then breed it away
again Prof Castle produced photo
graphs with the extra toe and others
OF their progeny with the toe dwin-
ding away through the generations.
Darwin's theory regarding the infiu-
ence Of environment on heredity, he
said, had been wholly disproven by a
long list of experiments. MendePs
theory on heredity, he said he had
found worked true in his experiments
IN certain dominant traits, but in some
respects had seemed to disprove some
OF the claims Of the Austrian monk.
The appearance of various charac-
terlstics in children, Prof. Castle said.
was in no way matter of chance.
The result is a pure case of mathe-
matics he declared BY figuring the
dominant traits not only of the par
ents but of the grandparents it is pos
sible to determine what the offspring
will be, and it is now possible TO
distinguish the so-called dominant
traits.
Prof. Castle said a trait is domi-
nant or otherwise through chemical
combinations. By the proper chemical
fusing a subservient triat can be made
a dominant triat in offspring if de-
sired. ut can be done in animals
why not with the human racer" said
the professor.

REIGN OF THE ROOSTER
BEGINS IN HEADGEAR
Americas Will Begin Craze
This Week.

The red rooster will again be the
recognized emblem-the real Ameri-
can bird this week, and will not alone
supplant the eagle upon the dollar but
in addition will supplant a full quart
OF silver dollars in the pocket of the
man who pays the bonnet bill.
In Americas it is the opening
season, and the ultra styles here, as
elsewhere, include the rooster-chan-
Understanding rampant on the up

Not only will the rooster be in evil
dence in feminine harness, but the
old hen and chickens as well. This

main and the hat and dress called the
Chantlcler after Rostand's play, which
was brought out in Paris some time
ago. The characters of the play were
fowls, no human being in the show
from character standpoint
The Chantecler hat is typified in
a design where a hen-a BARNARD
fowls sturdily but Intellectually trv-
ing to cover with outstretched wing
a large hat, the brim of which has a
border of the Chantecler red.
Othler designs are trimmed in
wings and tail feathers and all. in
some manner, it seems, suggest "a strut
which, you must know is "Chantecler."
AS rule the hats shown seem
larger than ever before. The peach
basket" and the very large sailor are
still in evidence. The willow plume
IS used a great deal as is also wheat
corn and vegetables. And all the hairs
seen sit we'll down on the head, par

WHERE DOES WOMAN'S
STRENGTH LIE?
Is 1t in Her Standards of
Morality?
REV. DR.. Madison c. Peters.)

One of the most tremendous words
in the language is that mighty mono
syllable No! Herein lies woman's
strength in her moral excellence. She
cannot find her tone dignity apart
from goodness.
The regard paid to woman liz society
depends very much upon the standard
of morality sE'e sets up, and in every
circle she fixes the standard above
which few men can rise.
1t may be Notifying to mems pride
but it is true. that they seldom rise
quite up to the standard If morality
and religion which women hold before
them. If woman speaks lightly of re-
Ilgion, men will blaspLeme it. If she
is devoted to pleasure, he will euter
into dissipation. If she treats temper
ance as a joke, he will regard drunk
enness as pardonable fault.
Woman is a lawgiver, man IS thu
subject. The only hope Tor the moral
Enhancement of society is to keep
woman in the advance qua Let
her grace point the way and her grit
lead to it, and the right progress is
secured.
Don't run with the crowd. How
many women sink into the grave with
scarcely a trace to Indicate that they
ever lived. How many a woman low
crs her own high tone of morals lest
she should seem singular in he ;iitIe
circle of worldly society surrounding
har.
Shall a woman set herself againqt

WOULD GIVE BUILDING SITE
TO SECURE A FACTOEyY
Americas Man is Willing to Do His
Part.

While Americas does not want a
cotton mill, as oftimes demonstrated
IN the flat refusal of citizens of large
means to take stock in such an enter
prise, it is none the less refreshing
o meet a man occasionally who is
ready to do even more than his part.
There are several of these here
men of moderate means who are will
ing to push the town forward in such
an enterprise, even when it would help
the rich fellows who will not do so
much themselves.
But there are not a sufficient num-
Der of this poor but willing" class
to secure factory.
One enterprising citizen stated yes
terday that he would not only donate
a building site of twenty-five acres
within the city limits or Americas am.
splendidly adapted as a factory site.
but would go down in his pocket for
$4,000 cash subscription as well.
Yet there are men here worth ten
times-yea, twenty times as much as
this public-spirited citizen, and who
would not give a dollar towards build
ing a factory.
They would like to see one built;
they say Americas needs more man
ufacturing enterprises" Certainly
these would boost their realty
values amazingly, and they only hope
that the little fellows will get %
gether and build a mill, or something
else
Would that Americas had more clti-
zens like the one above quoted and
fewer of the brand of spiders whlo
weave webs only.
