II WAY IT WORKED.
Attempt to Distribute Jobs Among
States Condemned.

A report of the economy and
efficiency commission, sent to the
Senate In response to a resolution
Of Senator Overman, severely ar
raigns the operations of the civil
service laws, declaring the effort
to distribute appointments pro-
portionately among the different
States had greatly reduced the eff
6ciency of Federal employees and
cost the government a great
amount in the way Of it's profess
sional labor.
The commission recommends
that the attempt to give each State
its share of Federal jobs at Wash
-ington be greatly modified; that a
mark of IS be set as the standard
by which the first choice of appli-
cants shall be made, and that all
CO the eligible persons standing
over 85 be first selected, notwith-
standing certain States may still
lack their share of Federal en-
ployes. The commission also re-
commended that the government
give a mileage allowance to per-
sons appointed from outside of
Washington.

THE FOREIGN
Democratic Leaders Confer With
The President About Objec-
tions to Underwood Bill.

lions to Underwood Bill.
Washington, (SpeciaD-Wheth-
er to put cattle, wheat and oats
on the free list or to put a duty
on their products is one of the
absorbing problems Of the senate
finance committee just now in re-
vising the Underwood tariff bill
for senate consideration. Senator
Simmons chairman of the com
mittee; John Sharp Williams,
chairman of the subcommittee
handling the agricultural sched-
ule and Representative Under
wood, chairman OF the house
ways and means committee, dis
cussed the matter with President
Wilson today. The President is
reported to have agreed with Sen
ator Williams and Senator Sim
mons that raw materials and theiN
products in the agricultural
schedule should be equalized in
the bill instead of palcing raw
product on the dutiable list and
making meats and -four free as in
the bill at present. To equalize
them was determined upon sew
eral weeks ago and the senate
subcommittee today is reported
to have decided also to put cat
tie. sheep and hogs and wheat
and oats on the free list.
Whether the President agreed
to free listing of the raw mate
rails or urged that the agricul-
tural products be made dutiable
in conformity with the Under
wood rates on raw materials was
not disclosed after today's con
ference but Democratic senator's
were resigned to the generally ac-
cepted report that all these arti-
cles would be placed on the free
list They were also generally
in accord with the definite an
nouncemenG by Senator Simmons
after his conference with the
President that the five, per cent
tariff discount on imports in
American ships with be stricken
from the bill.
Representative Underwood and
other house leaders, however, are
not satisfied that the discount
conflicts with treaty provisions,
and they are expected to make a
fight to have the clause r%einsert-
ed when the bill reaches confer
ence,
Free wool and free sugar, as
provided for in the Underwood
bill, tonight are regarded to be in
a stronger POSITION than ever and
tightening of the strings on these
administration measures is re-
ported to be due largely to Presi-
dent Wilson's recent attack on
efforts of lobbyists to change the
sentiments as to these schedules.
One Democratic senator, who
heretofore has been of the mind
that a small duty should have
been placed on wool and that
free sugar in three years should
not have been imposed, changed
his mind today. He now says
he is convinced that both indus
can get along without pro-
lection.
The cotton schedule is reported
now to be very unsatisfactory in
many instances to the finance

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

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
children's eyes. This absent character
istic may be one that has been lost or
It may never have been acquired. 1t
Is known in hetedity language as a re-
cessive. Hence, to repeat, two reces.
slves 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 &C.
cumulated to hand IN down TO subse-
uuent generations. The amount that
can be transmitted. however. depends
on ones own hereditary history as well
as that Of ones consort. II both OF
Smiths parents belong to brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
Riyen. as it were, y double dose OF
brown his eyes will he dark brown.
Smith will have. iii his turn, only
brown eyed children. whatever may 10

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 iu color and only half Of his germ
cells will have the potentiality for max
ing brown eyes. Hence. II he marries q
blue or gray eyed wife. only half OF his
children will have brown eyes. aud q
light brown. too. because Of two gen.
crations 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 n Of the three
will get a double dose Of brown: hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
all transmit brown in the same degree.
Thus it is possible for Il brown eyed
parent to have one.half or One.quarter
Of his children blue or gray eyed. But
It is possible for two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed
children.-Independent.
