THE LIMIT REACHED.
A New Departure-Whither Arc We
Drifting?-A Eugenic Scheme.

1t is related from London. En-.,
that the baby born to the Duchess
Of Roxburge Tuesday night is hhN
principally because his mother, WHO
was Miss May GOelet Of New YORK,
ate no food containing sugar 1"r
months before his advent mo the
world. In announcing the blrtn CT
an heir the Duke Of RoXburse ad-
mitted that his wife had practice Y
a form of eugenics and said that
they both attributed ''he sex of IT,
newborn infant to this fact.
Desiring an heir to the dukeaom,
the duchess went to Vienna III 1909
and there consulted Dr.. Leopold
Schenck, a noted SCIENTIST, who IS g
world-famous authority on embrS-
ology. He IS connected with the
University Of Vienna and has CIV u
much study to the parental deter
minatiOn Of sex.
! Or. Schenck advised the duchess
and she followed his lnstnuctIons
The principal thing that he told he1
to do in order to insure q matt
child was to avoid all food contain
ing sugar. She did 50, according t'
| the. duke, and SO bore q son.
The baby is the first born of tlHlt
duke and duchess, who We're mar
ried in 1908. The dukes brother
lord Alastair Robert lnnls-ker, ha'
1up to the present been the heir pre-
| sumptive to the dukedom and u
10000 acres.

THE TRACTION COMPANY
Offer an Apology to the Police Jury
and the Apology Is Accepted.

<7 AT f.he session Df the Police july
Of Caddo Parish held today Hon. =.
H. Randolph, who has recently rs
turned from a very pleasant tour 81
Europe, appeared with representa-
tiyps of the Traction Company. Ht
was all smiles and in happy MOOD.
HI explained in his most lucid amt
felicitous style that the 1raci'on
Company desired TO offer an apology
to the Police jury for having unIn-
tentianalIy laid part Of the track
on the Greenwood road several hun
dred feet on parish territory With
out having secured authority there
for. 1t was all a mistake, dIscoN-
cred after the outlay Of the track
on parish territory.
The eloquent remarks Of Nc. RAN
dolph received Che closest attention.
His explanation was convincing anL
the apology was accepted by the 70
lice Jury.
Now, suppose some individual had
trespassed Oh the parish as did tht
Traction Company what would have
happened?
III Offering the apology there wa
no suggestion Of receding from th'
property, which is in full possession
of the Traction Company, which
with some exceptions has neNe
failed to get what it has deslret
simply for the asking.
This is a new departure, e11oI
which an apology is all sufficient
but suppose, yes suppose.
