Ii Is True That Drinkers
Haze Inferior Children

no significant association either way
Third, concerning intelligence. OF
all things that we have been accus-
toned to assume as likely. one Of the
formeris that parental drinking weak
ems children's wits.
But 1t was distinctly untrue OF
these English school children; so
very untrue, in fact, that there is a
slight balance the other way. The
returns how that there were born
to drinking fathers "a percent Of de-
fective sons and 80 per cent Of de-
fective daughters; to drinking moth
ers 40 per cent Of defective sons and
"a per cent Of defective sons and 81
per cent Of defective daughters; to
sober mothers, 80 per cent Of defec.
tive sons and 30 per cent Of defect
i've daughters.
Fourth, regarding eyesight. The
children were examined for normal
vision. short and far sight, and three
varieties Of astigmatism. Fathers.
mothers. sons and daughters were all
considered separately. omit the ia
bles to save space; but their sum-
mary shows two remarkable facts:
81. The larger proportion of norm
al eyes is found among the children
Of drinking parents.
"2. The larger proportion of hy-
permetropia, myopia, mixed and my.
opicastigmatism, is found among the
children of sober parents.
Analysis of the tables themselves
reveals no correlation between par
entail drinking and bad eyesight in
the child. If anything,it is the other
way; the children Of drinking par.
ents have the better eyesight.
Prof. Pearson sums up the result
Of the investigation by saying that
no marked relation of any kind has

In an article in the January Ameri-
can Magazine entitled rs 1t TrueY'
appears the startling and convincing
results of Karl Pearson's investiga-
ton of the families Of drunkards and
tsetota ers made in the Cation Lab
ora ory for Eugencs, at the univer-
sity OF London.
The author says that he was al
waya taught that drunken parents
art TO produce imperfect children.
Il vas a surprise to him; probably
IL win be to most readers to find
the following results.
First, putting all ages together,
they found that the average height
of the children whose parents drank
was 47.g inches, and Of non-drinking
parents AZ 8 inches. The average
weight Of the former was 800 lbs.
and the latter 53.S lbs.
But tie children whose parents
drank averaged 9.S years old, while
the children of sober parents aver
aged "a years. Making allowance
for this correction by strict mathe-
matical means, the conclusion was
that the drinking of parents had no
of their children. The old maxim OF
intimate household hygiene, Drink
ing stunts ones children, was shown
10 be devoid OF foundation as far as
material of this Investigation was
concerned.
Second, as to the childs general
health. Here the children were di-
vided into four categorles; the heal
thy, the delicate, the epileptic and
phthisical, and those who died young
surveying this table, It Is really
hard to say whether the connection
lies between parental drinking and
good health or bad health on the
part of the children Clearly there is

CENTRAL'S MERGER PLAN
More than $59,000,0O0 of Lake

I In inviting consent to the consolidation
the New York Central offers the privilege
of exchanging Sig per cent bonds for a
new per cent bond as soon as the
! merger is completed. The action Of the
New York state Public Service Commits
sion i'm recently approving the two mort

promised to place on its property is i'm
portant as bearing OH the general plan.
The first of these mortgages is the So

WHEAT RECEIVERS
FROM A DECLINE
Corn and Oats Hold Steady
Against Large Receipts
Coffee Again Lower.

While the wheat market was somewhat
nervous over the possibility of a con-
tinuation of the liquidating movement of
Thursday and opening prices were
slightly lower, there was less pressure
to sell, and the close show ed net gains
for the day of ssdl2c. A resumption of
export buying was one Of the causes of
the firmness. Corn and oats held steady
all day. although corn receipts this week
are more than 100000 bushels over those
of n week ago. The effect OF this was
modified by the general impression thai
much of IL was below contract grade.
and the consequent widening of dis
counts will tend TO make farmers hold
their stock until 1t has time to dry out
more thoroughly.
There was sufficient steadiness to the
coffee market to partly overcome an
opening decline of to 10 points. but trad
ing was quiet and the market was mar
row. The tendency of the trade is to
await developments, with bulls watching
for falling off I'm the movement. Clos
ing quotations were at unchanged TO
points below those of Thursday.

were United States Steel. Of which 1920

amended form satisfactory 10 a majority
OF the banking community, would soon he
enacted into law was an expectation
which stimulated buying on large scale.
Reports that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had virtually decided TO grant
the application for an increase in railroad
rates and would expedite proceedings in
the matter also helped to improve senti-
uent. The advance in prices was reflected
from the opening Of business, at 800
O'Clock when on the call overnight gains
were recorded ranging from a small frac-
ton 10 more than point. Union Pacific
was a particularly strong feature at the
opening, selling on the Consolidated be-
fore 10 o'clock at lJ2 and lJ2is, against a
closing price on Thursday OF 1915. An
other substantial overnight advance first

PHILADELPHIA WOOL MARKET,
fBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.


Philadelphia, Dec. 19.--The approaching
holiday season has caused laggins in tht
local wool market and business has beer
very quiet sales Of the week amounted ~
less than az 900 pounds. which is a big drop
from the previous week. The whole range
has been in an adverse condition, except
pulled woods. FOR which there has been \
good inquiry, sales having been made AT an
advance OF &c a pound In view OF the fact
that beginning with the first OF the year our
mills will be in competition with foreign mills
manufacturers have been moving in very
cautious manner. The only effect felt OF the
free entry OF wool has been in the COARSE
grades, while better grades have held their
own Dealers are OF opinion that unless
there is a curtailment Of manufactures there
will be no radical changes In prices. Ths
supply in this city is getting scarce. and IL
is estimated that there are not more than
g 600 900 pounds I'm all the warehouses COM
Lined, most OF this fine and fine medium.
with short supply, quarter and three
eiehths are quoted at 81 a 30 &c: New York
fine medium quarter. three eighths and one
half bloods remain at 2iis q &c while fne
dclaine sells at 10000
