cIares in Discussing
Marriages.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 31.-ln an
authorized interview here today Presi-
dent David Starr Jordan of Stanford
University expanded his recent address
in Salt Lake on the possibilities of eu-
genics or "Burbanking the human race.
Il used the phrase 'Burbanking the
race" he said today, Ito show that
although systematic, scientific selection
of mates could be made to produce great
physical strength, beauty, endurance and
even mental power, those very persons
who might be thus effectively mated
would never submit to state dictation.
IF they would they must in time elimi-
nate the most vital elements in human
evolution-love and initiative. Love IS
the best basis for marriage, and love is
very real and noble thing in spite of
the baseness of its many limitations.
The value of eugenic study is in the
diffusion Of sound ideas of life and
parenthood. Government can do some
thing by refusing parenthood to those
who cannot care for themselves because
of feeble-m -mindedness. disease and vice.
but legislation must be undertaken very
cautiously, giving the individual the
benefit of all doubt

NATIONS WASTE IN COAL
SHOWN TO Be STARTLING
Half of Production a Loss, Ac-
cording to Mine Bu-
reau Officials.

or a production Of 500, 600. 900 tons
of coal in the United States in the
last year. 250.000,000 tons were either
wasted or left underground probably
unfit for future use. according to a
statement yesterday by DR.. Joseph \.
Holmes. director of the United States
bureau of mines.
In addition to this startling waste.
DR.. Holmes declared that users of coal
through faulty methods derived only
about 10 per cent of the energy of coal
used. Furthermore. he added, the loss
by waste in other minerals. such as
zinc, nitrogen. potash. sulphur and
natural gas would reach into the hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually.
Director Holmes based his declara-
tion on an exhaustive report just made
by Charles l.. Parsons, chief mineral
chemist of the bureau, who points out
some of the heaviest annual losses, as
follows:
Two hundred and fifty million tons
More natural gas than is now manu-
factured.
Ninety per cent of the energy of coal
consumed
BY antiauated coke-making methods.
Nine million tons of sulphuric acid
from smelters' chimneys.
Millions Go UP in Smoke.
These losses are only the bginning of
the enormous drains on the country s
natural resources, Mr.. Parsons con-
tends. The loss of nitrogen, he says.
is 'inconceivable," while millions of
dollars literally .go up in smoke"
through losses of sulphur. arsenic and
bismuth from the factory chimney and
the flue of the home.
Officials of the bureau, however, are
hopeful for strides toward reform. AL
ready. they say, remedial laws, both
federal. state and municipal, are bring
ing about a better understanding 'of
the situation.

at Driver, near Norfolk, appropriated for
by the legislature Of Virginia. The dedi-
cation will take place this month. Though
the commissioner is interested in schools
of this character all over the country, he
is particularly interested in the boys at
the Virginia institution, as recently a
number of them visited Washington, the
expenses being paid by the sale of the
farm products they had raised, demon
strating the possibility of agricultural
pursuits for boys to pay for their vaca-
