NEW YORK, September pa priest, a

a battle with three hold-up men on the
Hudson river water front early today.
The two sailors We're on their way back
to their boat, the Morgan liner Menus,
when they were suddenly attacked by the
trio who beat them into unconsctousness
with blackjacks. The noise of the con-
fict was heard by the Rev. Philip Nc
Grath of the Catholic Seamen's Mission,
a block away, and he came running to the
rescue only to be laid unconscious beside
the two sailors. Before he fell, the
priest managed to draw a police whistle
from his pocket and blow long blast.
Policeman Knocked Out.
The whistle drew Patrolman Brennan
of the water front squad to the scene,
but he was no mat ch for the three ruff
fans, and in the struggle that followed
he was knocked into the gutter and rob-
bed of his helmet and night stick. The
three hold-up men then took to their
heels and made good their escape Their
victims We're revived by an ambulance
surgeon and taken to the mission for
treatment. Their injuries are not be-
lieved to be of a serious nature.

been found that treatment with thyroid
extract will usually restore the victim to
health and normal -mindedness. 1t has
been suggested that large humble of
cases of feeble mindedness that set in
when the child is from ten to fourteen
years of age may be caused by some
similar physical condition. 1t is not i'm
probable that research along this line will
be diligently pursued in the hope of find
ing the cause of such feeble lindedness
and recognizing the symptoms of its on
set in time to adopt preventive measures.
1t is now generally conceded to be true
that the major portion of the feeble
mindedness of the race is an inherited
quality. While statistics conclusively
prove that much of it comes from
vironment. they also show that the de-
scendants Of the ieebie-ninded are large
ly feeble minded themselves. Records of
individuals who have married, and where
DOth are 1eeDie-mlnOed, disclose the TACT
that their children and their children's
children, even down to the third and
fourth generation, have shown more
weak minded and criminal progeny than
normal minded.
The historic case of the Jukes family,
where a very large percentage Of the Off
spring were either feeble minded or crimi-
nails is pointed to by every student Of
the problem. Another case is that of
young soldier Of the revolutionary war,
who. after he was mustered out of the
army, married a feeble-minded woman
in New Jersey. At the time Conklin made
his Investigations he found that from
the feeble-minded daughter of that mar
riage there were $50 descendants. Later
the soldier married a PENNSYLVANIA Quak-
eress of normal mind. From that mar
riage there resulted eight normal chill
dren, and yet from these eight children
there were descended only 365 persons. OF
thedescendantS Of the first marriage only
40 were normal48 out of $50: while out
Of the 365 descendants of the second mar
rage 362 were normal OF the first mar
rage there were $50 who were a serious
detriment to the community, while of the
second there were but three.
