EUGEN|CS NO BAR
TO LOVE UNIONS
THE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE
WILL GO HAND IN HAND
WITH THE MARRIAGES OF
THE FUTURE.

Scientists do not perform ex-
periments in eugenics. They do not
have to. The human race does all
of that for the needs of science. and
sad to observe, a great deal more.
Such is the sentiment expressed by
DR.. Charles b. Davenport, director of
the Carnegie Institutions station for
Experimental Evolution at Cold
Spring Harbor. He breaches no
doctrine of scientific mating as OPP
posed to the marriage of personal
choice: instead, he and his associa-
ties Gull data for correlation of re-
suits which will assuredly further
the science of eugenics and in
turn benefit humanity. This Eugen-
les Record Office aims to be the
eountry's clearing house for an in
yestigation of race, of h%eredity of
blood lines; and from this station
is issued TO all desiring it personal
advice as to the suitability of mar
riages and the probabilities of in
heritanee. The applicant will re-
ceive a series of blank records to be
filled out. Thus far the data collect
ed by this office have been mainly of
abnormal types-feeble mindedness,
the inheritance of epilepsy. the in
breeding of degenerate strains; but
this has been because such informa-
ton is easier to get. The collection
of normal data" has been difficult,
because a number of people have
imagined eugenics to be concerned
only with imbeciles and degenerates.
DR.. Davenport aims now to collect
from whatsoever may send names, in
formation about normal people. the
talented, the genius, even the re-
spectacle, the right-minded and the
right-moraled; and IL is his hope that
the American citizens idea of social
duty will include the recording and
depos4ting with the Record Office
of full information about his "fami-
ly tree. says the Scientific American.
This Record Office is but two years
old, yet thus far such facts as the
following have been established
If two %epileptics marry, their child
rem will all be e%pileptics; the same is
true of two imbeciles. II an epilep-
tic or one insane married a normal
individual. one half or one fourth
of the progeny will usually inherit
the parents abnormality; the others
will probably be normal. A recess

remain reeessive for generations,
but will very likely become active
when il meets a like trait-recessive
or not. The marriage OF cousins is
not bad in itself II both families
are OF sound stock; but such mar
riage will naturally bring out any
common traits, and intensity weak
neses. reeessive or otherwise. The
redhaired are markedly antipathetie
and seldom marry those having
red hair. A good environment
strengthens good traits, but will
not guarantee the conquest of a bad
inheritance. Love. in a mature and

Two wholesome persons wishing to
spend their lives together may be
founded on instructive traits that will
make for a good inheritance; but
love offers practically no more than
an even chance. Nevertheless the
engenist, wise man that he is, would
not do away with love; but would
combine with it, if possible, common
sense and forethought.) Marriage

Will tend to drag down the inheri-
lance of good blood; imbecility is
often introduced into ''bloodliness''

consideration of the parents, for

lance must be traced back for gen.
%erations, and the records of cousins,
u%neles, aunts, brothers and sisters
must be examined; n does not in
herit from his parents, but from the
family germ plasm.
The work of the Eugenics Record
Office is, in brief, to learn how every
characteristic behaves in heredity as
to eugenic experiments: The world
is full of the latter; there are as
many experiments in eugenics as
there are child-bearing marriages, as
many experimental results as there
are children born. The ordinary
parent may take. chances as to his
children fand oftentimes does) that
no breeder would take with animals.
II was asked "if they were go
ing to have a farm up there in the
woods and make experiments with
all sorts of Freaks" no, il was an
swered. such experiments. melan-
choly to relate, are all too many of
them constantly being made. And
DR.. Davenport and his associates will
try TO show the people who have
made them what can be done with
them, and how to prevent some of
them in the future.
So the e%ugenist would have love
and the ''eugenic principles" go
hand in hand in the marriage Of
the future, for happier homes and
healthier children and the minimum
of insanity, the hereditary degen-
e%rations. pauperism and crime.
And the object of the Eugenics
Record Office succinctly is to Serve
eugenic interests in the capacity of a
repository and clearing house; to
build up an analytical index of the
traits of American families, to train
field workers to gather data of
eugenic import; to maintain a field
force actually employed gathering
such data. to cooperate with other
institutions and with persons con-
cerned with eugenic study; TO in
yestigate the manner of the inheri-
lance of specific human traits; to
promote and to aid In the organiza-
ton of new centers for eugenic re-
search and education; to advise
concerning the eugenic fitness of pro-
posed marriages; and to dissent
nate eugenic truth"

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING,

The Kellogg Lumber Co. has ex~
pended $250,OOO on it's new sawmill at
Entiat, and will soon have the new
plant in operation. The daily capacity
is 100000 feet.
The regular monthly meeting of the
West Coast Lumber Manufacturers as
sociation was held at Raymond Sat-
urday. 1t seemed to be the consensus
CT opinion that at present more lum-
Der was being manufactured than is
being sold and that curtailment is
needed within the next 80 or SO days.
A company is being organized at Pc
Ell and will begin at once the erection
of a brick building to cost $40 1000, for
the manufacture of broom handles,
boxes of all descriptions and all small
articles that are made from wood. The
officers are: James P. Weter Of Sc
attic, president; F. M. Roberts Of Se-
attic, vice president; John w. Leavitt

According to present indications
and judging by returns of fall grain
harvested thus far Odessa is going to
receive and ship the largest amount of
grain in it's history, taking into con-

pass even that of Odessas bumper
year, 1907.
The Mansfield Elevator & Ware
house Co., which is a cooperative or
ganization of farmers, is installing
Mansfield. The mill has capacity OF
rs barrels of flour each "a hours. 1t
will cost $4,000. The Big Bend and
Waterville farmers are figuring on the

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

1Ae HoHIn opens With very faVOra.
Bile business conditions generally, and
especially in this section. The only
deterrent effect upon trade for the
country as whole is the unsettled
conditions due to tariff revision and
currency reform, but both of these
problems promise to be solved in q
lew weeks. Ordinarily the latter part
of July and the month of August con-
stltute the period of midsummer quiet,
but a late season, together with boun-
tlful crops, is maintaining an excep-
tional activity in trade operations
throughout this period, and augurs
we'll for a good fall and winter bust
ness.
The weather continues favorable for
securing the large wheat and other
crops of the Inland Empire section.
The lumber trade is comparatively
quiet but with every indication of an
early resumption this fall.
Collections generally are slow, but
this is a normal condition for the
before-harvest period. Mining and
other industries are operating up to
normal proportions for this season Of
the year and labor is we'll employed.
In grocery and produce lines trade
is active with several changes in quo
tations noted. There have been ad-
vances in canned peas, butter, eggs,
chickens, pork, lard, hams, bacon,
lemons and cabbage, while declines
are noted in corn meal, rolled oats,
spring lamb, blackberries, loganber-
ries, currants, potatoes, tomatoes, dry
onions, wheat, timothy, wheat hay and
oats.
