old daughter,
The suit is brought by Mrs Volck, who

band abandoned herself and her little
daughter, but Mr.. Volck's side OF the af-
fair is not known. Mime. de Cana re-
fused to discuss the matter last night at
the Brazilian Embassy. 1t was said there
that her excellency had not been well for

ceiving callers.

by her first marriage, and 1t was he
who gave her away" at her third mar

to Arthur II. Hearn. son OF George II.
Hearn, of New York, one OF the mer-
chant kings OF that city. Mr.. Hearn
died two years ago.

striking resemblance to Donald Brian.

Speaking of the necessity for a central
clearing house for data concerning family
traits in America, which would serve as
headquarters for investigation as well
as for education, Prof. Davenport said:
"A eugeniC survey could b. made rela-
lively simple, if $4,000 teachers of State
and city schools might be used to Sc
cure the census of the 240O0.0OO children
of school age and their parents. This

London. Dec. Soto Kuhn, Of the firm
OF Kuhn, Loeb & Co., OF New York, who
is here for a few days, does not believe
that there be any rash OF ill-advised
legislation during the administration OF
Woodrow Wilson.
The changes Mr.. Wilson contemplates,
said Mr.. Kuhn, will be made gradually
and saneIy. I have not the slightest
anticipation that a scare will be induced
by the tariff legislation.
THE conclusion of the Balkan war and
the preliminaries Of the peace of Lendon
are bound to have a good influence upon
the general financial situation" con-
tinued Mr.. Kuhn. And one of the def
mite and feIicitious results OF the war Is
the improvement of relations between
England and Germany"
Referring to the scarcity OF money.
Mr.. Kuhn said 1t was due to the un-
doubted fact that trade is good in the
United States, Great Britain, and South

Duty to Furnish Data.

We should consider it a patriotic duty
to furnish such material, which is held
in confidence and purely for the purpose
of research. While it is not the chief
purpose of this work, the Office is glad
to give its services free of charge to per-
sons seeking advice as to the conse-
quences of proposed marriage mating
Speaking of benefits to be derived from
this work to the race in its broadest
sense, Prof. Davenport explained:
1T is a reproach to our intelligence
that we. as a people, proud in other re-
spects of our control Of natures, should
have to support about 10000 insane,
feeble-minded, epileptic. blind, and deaf;
$1,000 prisoners. and 10000 paupers, at
a cost of over 900 per year. We
have become so used to crime, disease,
and degeneracy that We take them as
necessary evils.
Special classes of individuals, or rath-
cr their traits, cause disturbance and
an expense of time and money quite out
of proportion to their numbers in their
community-they seem to be the main
hindrance to our social progress. Their
numbers seem to be increasing, thence
1t is a pressing need of the day to find
out what is the cause and cure Of de-
fectiveness and delinquency"
