MISUNDERSTANDING OF EUGfNlCs

The recent movement here to promote the
principles of eugenics has been received in some
nuarters with sneers that are not at all war
ranted and betray ridiculous ignorance of the en-
tire subject of race-culture 1t is not unusual
for the sneers to be against what is called
''breeding people like cattle
As matter of fact, thousands of people are
placticing eugenics to whom the thought of
marrying men and women ON the basis of phys
teal aptitude merely is entirely repugnant 1t
is only the extremists who are advocating this
plan as necessary There are eugenists who de
vote their time to bringing up healthy children,
to training theSchildnind in a systematic and
sympathetic manner The Montessor method is
no more an educative than it is an eugenic sys-
tenn There are eugenists who teach the doctrine
Of prenatal influence, and who seek to surround
the expectant mother with an environment OF
beauty and mental stimulus.
In short, eugenics is something more, far
more, than ''breeding people like cattle. The
cOarse sneers of the unthinking would be
changed to admiration were the aims and ideals
Of many branches of eugenics understood. In
every moment there are extremists, but the ex-
tFemists do not rule the eugenists as a whole,
any more than the dynamiters rule trade un-
iOnis in spite of the sinister revelations of Los
Angeles and indianapolis.
The Carnegie Institute at Cold Springs Har-
Dor, Long Island has already brought about the
scientific application of eugenic principles in
more than one hundred families. The eugenics
department of this noted institute will shortly
report ON the results Eugencs is not a fad, it
is not an experiment, and the United Staes is
considerably behind the times in treating it as
an experiment, just as those who rant at "breed,
ing people like cattle" are behind the times in
applying their objections to the entire subject

HOW ABOUT THIsi

Editor Honolulu Bulletins
Sir:-Dces HonoluIu have an orii-
nance establishing rule of behavior
for vehicles when our fire-fightins
apparatus is called out?
Your editorial yesterday, captioned
"A Needed Auto Regulation has in
duced me to set forth an incident
witnessed on King street, directly OPP
posite the opera house, one day early
this week. <sssi
In response 10 fire alarm, the
city's big auto truck was bearing full
speed down that theroughfare. In
front of the big machine were two
private motor scars. apparently driven
by experienced men, for each took to
the curb as soon as the driver heard
the clang OF the bells. and came to .
collipIgfe stop, remaining until all the
apparAt had passed.
But there were two other cars, COM
ing UP King street toward the truck.
One fell In behind the other and the
leading driver kept the middle Of the
street at his original speed. which
must have been at least twenty-five
miles an hour. The fire truck
driver did the only thing reasonable
under the circumstances sWeryed
sharply to the right. The truck skid
ded badly and>nearly plunged into the
curb, but finally righted and went
ahead The two private automobiles
speeded merrily on their way, down
the middle of King street, and were
nearly a block away before the fire
truck had Strengthened out again for
its run. And the writer was so deep
ly shocked by the spectacle that he
didn't think to look after the fleeing
cars until they we're out of sight "A
large number of persons besides the
men on the fire. truck and myself wit
messed this shameful affair. but I
don't think anyone had the presence
of mind to catch the number Of the Of
Tending automobile.

DRIVER OF AUTO EXPLAINS
ACCIDENT.
PEDESTRIAN.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin, ss
Sir:-I would like to give q correct
report of an accident that took place
lat Moiliili yesterday, as the facts were
not properly stated in the mornings
paper, as there was no reporter on the
scene. A Japanese boy about six
years old was crossing the road alone
about one-eighth of mile behind q
crowd of people going up the hill. My
machine was going twelve miles an
hour. blew the horn and slowed
down. He crossed the road out OF
harms way. When almost opposite
him, he suddenly darted across again
in front of the machine. The tire
struck him a glancing blow.
/ picked him up although he was
able to walk and took him into near
by shop, and washed the dirt from
him and found he was only bruised.
He was on his feet and all right ex-
eept for his fright when Il left him.
When the patrol arrived they took
him to the hospital as matter of rou-
tine, as he was not unconscious at
any time. / telephoned to- the hospi-
tai and they told me they didn't think
lit worth while to retain him, as he
was only slightly bruised. ]. 1t was not
thought worth while even to record
the case, l mention these facts be-
cause it was said that did not stop
to inquire about the child and also for
the reason that / am considered a
careful driver and not speeder. Most
auto-drivers are careful, and it is I'M
just to US to publish an incorrect re-
port when the facts can be ascertain
ed by consulting both parties to the
case. H. P. NOTTAGE, MD.

ing sent out by Geo. Kabrich, a
retired merchant, who writes IL

tigated the cheap land for sale in
Florida.
Certain syndicates cave
bought these lands in Florida in
large lots at $1.25 an acre and
the land sharks sell on a commits
sion at $50 an acre in ten-acre
lots, so down and balance on

hands and let's the shark have tho
land back. Of course they do not
get any money back. "
