One of the interesting sights to the
traveller in Italy is the excavation still
going on at Pompeii. One never knows
what stroke of the pick or shovel come
priceless relic will uncover. Report
was made recently that workmen who
were digging for the foundation of a
new building outside tho area Of the
buried city found the body of wom-
an which had been petr1aed oy the
lava. Both hands were full of jewels.
Evidently the woman fed from the hot
ashes on that fateful day, had waited
to secure her jewels but was caught!
The Jewels are said to be excellently
preserved. having been protected from
the lava by the body. They consist OF
bracelets, rings, amulets studded with
gems, and a pair of unique earrings.
They may be the most valuable specl-
mems Of jewelry ever discovered. Eacn
earring contains twenty-one perfect
pearls set in gold, in imitation of
bunch of grapes. What a tragedy is
represented in that petrif1ed corpse
still grasping those jewels
The oncoming rush of the avalanche,
the delay to gather her treasure, the
fight, and then the tragic death, and
two thousand years of hidden history
laid bare by the spade. How many

their inherited traits as the chief
cause for their short comings. On the
other hand, the individual who Is well
balanced, mentally and physically;
| who gains and retains the esteem OF
%ncighbors because Of noble ideals and
actions; who i%nstinctively tends to do
the right thing; and who naturally
shuns wrong and immoral ideas-such
an individual has been extremely for

Inherited traits. There are mechan.

tendencies have been cured by rem0v-
ing a piece of bone from a fractured
skull, or blood clot, pressing on the
brain.
Heredlty is a fact, not a theory. To
illustrate some of the laws of heredity
the following family history has been
carefully studied up and tabulated at
the Eugenics Record Office: In 1920

%cellent stock came to America. The

Of the war this officer had children

descendants show striking character
~istics, and they have been followed up
in detail. OF the descendants Of the
Legitimate children 496 have been
traced. These were among the lead

lived. Several had been governors
of the states, many had been famous
statesmen and noted educators, and
all the professions had honored mem.

three out Of the 496 showed marked
signs Of defect, two having alcoholic
habits. and one suffering from melan.
cholia. But in all Of these it was
shown that some strain OF ineficiency
had been brought in through marriage.

|lessly feebleminded. 293 showed more
or less mental defects. Only 46 were
proven to be of fully sound mind. Five
generations were found and their
names were inscribed in every public
institution for moral or mental defect
ives in the states where they lived.
1t is as yet impossible to state the
exact manner in which the various
strains are transmitted from parent
to offspring. There s something i'm.
parted to the embryo, at the time Of
conception which predestines the child
to certain physical, mental and moral
.propensities. This something has been
called germ-plasm. Through it
we have inherited our physical and
mental tendencies, our possibilities,
and our limitations. This germ plasm
reacts to stimulation from without.
Every animal, and therefore every hu.
mar tissue gives a certain definite
reaction to stimuli. The character or
the reaction depends on the makeup
Of the p%rotoplasm of the tissue. En-
vironment, trainig and habit will mod.
ify the results of the stimulation, but
these results have definite limitations
set by the inherited germ plasm.
This opens a new world of philo.
sopric thot. 1t makes us more convinc.
ed than ever that some men are born
great but w may doubt whether it
is equally true that "some have great
ness thrust upon them From this
new conception of an Inheritance we
may we'll assume that unless the indi-
vidual was born great he could not
sustain the weight Of a greatness

still multiply.
Polygamy and Euthanasia are both
of distinct eugenic Importance but are
contrary to the moral sense of all civ.
ilized people.
The NeO.Malthusian doctrine, or the
instruction to the detectives how to
voluntarily avoid having large families
would have small effect where it was
most necessary and would encourage
a low birthrate among all people.
Lasser.faire, or leave the subject
alone, may be alright for the savage
but our duty seems llain-to protect
the helpless.
The practice Of sexual sterilization
of detectives has been tried out to
some extent and with satisfactory re.
suits. 1t Is perhaps the most effective
and the most easily accomplished eu-
genie means. 1t has the present OBJ
lection that its legality is as yet ques-
toned. Neither does it prevent rape,
nor the spread of veneral disease.
Eight states, Indiana, Washington,
California, Connecticut, Nevada, Iowa,
New Jersey and New York, have pass.
ed sterilization laws. In general,
these laws authorize the surgical ster-
ilization of such inmates of state in
stitutions as the appointed commits
sioners shall deem incurable, mental
ly, morally, or physically and there
fore unfit for procreation. 1t, includes
habitual criminals, idiots, ieeblemind-
Gu, imbeciles, rapists, drunkards, drug
fiends, epileptics, syphilitics, and sex
ual and moral prevents.
The selection of candidates for ster.
~ilization is made in most states by
commissions of physicians for the var
iOus institutions. In Washington. and
Nevada it is done at the order of the
court that imposes the sentence. The
type of operation to be performed is
left to the option Of the commission,
except in Iowa and Connecticut, where
the law specifies vasectomy and sal
.pingectomy. sThese surgical terms,
vasectomy and s~alingectomy, in plain
er English, signify a destruction Of the

MONOPOLY IS ALLEGED
IN BELL PHONE SUIT
First Federal Attempt to Apply the
Antitrust Statute to the Hello
Companies.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 25.-Dissolution
of the alleged telephone monopoly on
the Pacific coast by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company-the So
called Bell Telephone trusts sought by
Attorney General McReynolds in a civil
antitrust suit filed here
The government charges the giant cor
poration and its subsidiaries with alb
sorbing independent telephone companies
to destroy competition and create a mo-
nopoly in Oregon, Washington, Montana
and Idaho in violation Of the Sherman
law.
This is the first attempt ever made to
apply the federal antitrust statute to
the telephone situation.
Telephone companies have claimed that
the telephone, like the railroad, is nat
ural monopoly and that a single system
Is conducive to the best interests of the
public. The Department of Justice con-
tends that Is a question of public policy
for Congress to determine.
Attorney General McReynolds declares
that the Pacific coast telephone suit grew
out of numerous complaints from the
communities affected.
This proceeding" added the Attorney
General sis brought to correct an ex-
ceptional condition and will not in any
way interfere with the broad investiga-
ton of telephone conditions throughout
the entire country undertaken by the
interstate commerce commission upon the
Suggestion of former Attorney General

TO AID ROAD BUILDING.
Representative Kent Would Cheaper
Distribution of Literature.

A bill which is intended to give a
cheapened distribution of bulletins or re-
ports concerning roads or road building
has been introduced by Representative
Kent Of California. The bill provides that
whenever the officials Of any state who
have the duty or authority to Issue bull
letins or reports concerning roads or road
building desire to enjoy the privilege OF
second-class postal rates for such publ
cations, they shall obtain the approval OF
the Secretary of Agriculture. whereupon
the publication will be accepted by the
post office as second-class matter
The bill il intended primarily to reduce
the cost Of distributing these important
matters throughout the country. The
clause providing for the approval Of the
Secretary Of Agriculture means that al
such matter would be referred by the
Secretary to the bureau Of public roads
This will permit the department to get
in touch directly with the various Of
ficials Of the states, it is explained, and
permit cooperative work that will lead to
uniform treatment and perform a great
benefit that will come from the bureau
Of public roads acting as clearing
house for the road building Of the coun-
try.

PANAMA GETS $3.50, 900.
First Installment Of Rental for Use
Of Caral Zone.

The State Department today made the
first payment Of $250.OO0 to the govern
ment of Panama as its rental for the
Canal Zone. These payments are to con-
tinue indefinitely and are in addition to
the sum of 100000 paid in cash to
Panama nine years ago as compensation
for the right to construct and operate the
isthmian canal.
Today's installment was due last Feb
ruary under the treaty between Panama
and the United States, and Congress pro-
vided therefor in an urgent deficiency bill
passed In the closing days Of the last
session. The actual payment, however,
has been deferred until today to settle
a doubt that had arisen as to whether 1t
should go to Panama or to the parent
state Of Colombia AT the request Of the
Panaman minister, Senior Morales, the
money was paid over to a representative
of William Nelson Cromwell Of New
agent for the Panaman government for
