The Blot On The Scutcheon.

Hitherto the National Capitol
has borne a well deserved repu-
tation for courtesy and kindly
regard for the stranger within
her gates. =
Now she stands pi11oried to the
world, as result. of the treat
ment accorded the women of the
land on the Nations main
thoroughfare, as they were fin
ishing pilgrimage to the shrine
of Liberty, in behalf of equal
suffrage.
If any of the marchers or their
Unlocking relatives had shot down
the blaekguards who hurled
blasphemy aud obscenities at the
wives and mothers and daugh-
tiers as they passed, there is no
jury of red blooded men which
would not acquit the avenger
without leaving their seats, and
feel like voting him a gold medal
to boot.
In view OF the lncapac1ty-or
worse-of the police; hereafter
when the women need protection,
might it-not be good idea to
commission those clean limbed,
bright faced young sons of the
morning, the Boy Scouts, for
their defense.
They. at least, are white sou1ed
and unafraid.
May God bless them on the
journey of life on which they
are starting SO well.
As usual a scape goat is being
sought to protect the guilty, and
Chief Sylvester is being blamed
for the whole trouble. From
the evidence so far addvced we
are inclined to believe that the
odium should be borne by men
higher up.''
Major Sylvester has summer
home in this County and is we'll
known to many of our people as
a courteous, kindly gentleman
with whom one cannot associate
such cnlpability as is charged.
Judgement should be reserved
until all the facts are brought
out and then-let no guilty man
escape.
Great indignation is expressed
throughout the country at this
cowardly' and unAmerican at
tack, which has caused decided
reaction among those hitherto
antagonistic to the cause, and
equal suffrage is stronger today
in conseq uence. than ever before.

brown eyed children. whatever may b

brown eyed children, whatever may be
the color of his wifes eyes. In the Ian
guage of hereditary, Smiths brown eye
color dominates over blue or gray
When Smiths brown eye color has
been derived from one parent only,
then his own eyes will tend to be light
er in color and only half Of his germ
cells will have the potentiality for max
ing brown eyes. Hence, If he marries
blue or gray eyed wife, only half of his
children will have brown eyes, and a
light brown. too, because of tRo gen
erations Of dilution. In case Smiths
wife also has brown eyes derived from
one Of her parents only, then three out
of four of their children will have
brown eyes, but only one of the three
will get double dose of brown; hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
all transmit brown In the same degree,
Thus it is possible for brown eyed
parent to have one-half or one-quarter
of his children blue or gray eyed. But
it is never possible for two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed
children. Independent.

HEREDITY AND THE EYES.
Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have HrasMn Eyed Children.

JaNc or3Wn Eyed SnhuTSHs
Since blue and probably gray eyed
parents have no brown pigment in the
outer surface of the iris they cannot
transmit brown to that portion of their
chfidren's eyes. This absent character
1stic may be one that has been lost or
At may never have been acquired 1t
Is known In heredity language as re-
cessive Hence, to repeat, two recess
sives produce In their offspring only
their recessive condition.
The hereditary behavior of brown eye
color. however, Is very different In
brown eyes actual pigment occurs in
the iris. Here there is something ac-
cumulated to hand on down to subse-
Quent generations. The amount that
can be transmitted, however, depends
on ones own hereditary history as well
as that of ones consort- If both of
Smiths parents belong to brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
given, as 1t were, a double dose of
brown his eyes win be dark brown.
Smith will have. in his turn. only

his every second of the way.
Thomas proved the better boxer
often jabbing three and four times
without return. His fancy work
appealed to the crowd. Whitney,
on the other hand, finding the New
Orleans lad too shifty for him at
the game Of hit and get away, did
most of his work on the body.
Frank had the better of the in
fighting. and the majority of the
big house overlooked this work.
Whitney displayed the harder
punch. In the first round he drop
ped Thomas to his knees with a
short right hook. He repeated this
in the second round In the eighth
round Whitney landed only one
blow. but it was a corker. A wild
left swing connected with Thomas
head. 1t was bit high or it might
have won brackets for the young
man from Cedar Rapids.
Thomas uncorked a new punch.
1t was a half pivot blow that he
used in the clinches. He would
turn half around as he broke and
then threw the right hand back
into the stomach. Whitney didn't
seem to be able to solve a guard for
this new 'un.
Without any doubt, 1t was the
fastest lightweight scrap ever stag
ed in Atlanta and return match

BY Percy Fl. Whiting.

@HATTANOOGA, TENN, Feb.
22.-Well. they're all here
and lined up in serried rows
for the fanciest schedule slug-fest
that the Southern league ever
knew-and it's no beginner at this
fight game either.
Most OF them blew in last night
and put in a busy but peaceable
evening scouting out the enemies
position.
To the casual war correspondent
the pro- schedule forces have the
advantage. They have a schedule
that suits them and they are lined
up behind it, They present an I'M
broken rank and they have their
big guns ready for action.
The anti schedule forces are nu-
mertcally as strong as their oppo-
nents. but they resemble a lot of
Mexican revolutionists. They are
fttll Of fight, but they don't know
what they're fighting for.
If the insurgents can get togeth-
err on an opposition schedule they
can tie the loaded" document up
so tight 1t can't even wriggle.
But one man wants one thing,
another wants something else and
1t would take a champion schedule
maker TO compose a document that
they could all fight for
Summing up the desires of the
insurgents, it works out like this:
Atlanta wants less mileage
a lot of it.
Birmingham wants later open
ing date.
Montgomery wants to open in
Birmingham instead of Memphis.
Nashville wants the dates rear
ranged so that one awful trip is
cut out
The strength Of the stand pat
ters' position lies in the fact that,
& 1t can satisfy any one of the in
surgents and win him over, the
schedule goes through with
whoop
IT'S a good bet that the stand
pstters will AK up Nashville. 1t
