MACHINE
TURNS TURTLE
Four Are Hurt; One Taken
Today to st. Margaret's
Hospital.

Three Dolton men and one Hammond
man were the victims of a peculiar au-
tomobile accident on the Ridge road
south of Hammond in the early hours
Of this morning, and according to their
stories it was a miracle that they were
not seriously injured. They gave their
names A. P. Reich, p. Smyth and
c. H. Rieger of Dolton. and Harry Oh
son OF 555 Summer street, Hammond.
The account of the accident as told
by A. p. Reich. who was driving the
machine, was related to the police fol-
lowing the accident. Reich claimed
that he was driving west on Ridge
road and when within a short distance
of Sharpshooters' park he saw a man
step into the middle of the road and
wave his arms as if he wanted them to
stop. Reich was driving the ma
trying to stop and avoid hitting the
man the machine skidded and after
going into the ditch turned turtle, car
rying the man with it.
When the three Dolton men came to
their senses they found that their VIC
tim was Harry Olson, 555 Summer
street. who had gotten on his feet and
after walking a short distance fell by
the roadside. Emmerling's ambulance
! was called and orders were given to
take Olson to ST. Margarets hospital.
! After working some time the Dolton
men got the machine out of the ditch
and upon reaching ST. Margaret's hos
pital found that Olson had been taken
home. Olson's side of the story has
not been learned and what he meant
by motioning the Dolton men to stop
is a mystery to them. The Dolton men
asked that the accident be suppressed
Olson's condition today could not be
obtained. althugh 1T is said that his
injuries are not serious.

said. ''Why may that selection not
take a euguenic direction
After discussing, to this point,
the discouraging Of the propaga-
ton of the unfit, the speaker veer-
ed to the positive side Of the sub
ject and spoke Of the place of the
large family among the fit. "We
shall ultimately have only words of
appreciation for the large family
among normal people," he said.
''In closing the speaker emphat-
sized the fact that the science of
eugenics is not a fad, but neces-
sity for good citizenship. The sub
Ject has separated itself from the
exploitation of the vulgar and is
absorbing the serious-minded of the
world. Eugenics will ultimately
prevent the mating of the unfit, and
at the same time encourage the iii
without any shock to the finer
feelings that cluster around the
family worth while.

out of the Sc were feeble-minded.
Within the last century all these
unfortunates have been shielded
and protected, so that the great,
new problem of looking after them
is forced upon us.
2. The knowledge necessary 10
cope with the problem.
The speaker here dwelt upon the
sweeping changes that have marx
ed the treatment of diseases in the
last twenty years. Pasteur, kolb'
and other scientists had not dlscov-
cred the germ theory twenty years
ago. The medical schools did not
teach the cause of disease. Now we
are practically able to eliminate
bad contagious diseases; tuberculo'
sis has been proved contagious OF
infectious only-we know that no
body ever gets it any other way
The problems Of heredity have gone
forward with the same degree OF

rapidity as our knowledge of dis
ease, but we have not yet quite ar
rived. We must wait little long
er to get the absolute knowledge
which shall enable us to get rid OF
the bad features.
DR.. Lichtenberger paused here to
explain clearly the difference be-
tween innate characteristics and ac-
quired differences. The former re-
result from the very protoplasm OF
life from which we spring; the lat
ter are acquired, such as habits and
education. Only germinal charac
ters are hereditary; all others are
acquired.
Ability is inborn, and herein lies
the sad part Of the subject. There
is not case on record where two
feeble minded persons have given
birth to normal child. Where
only one parent is so, about one
half of the children are normal. The
speaker pointed out the fatality Of
these defects which are within the
organism itself.
3. What shall we do?
We have enough knowledge to
begin to cope with the problem. The
great handicap to a scientific treat
ment of the subject is an ignorance
to it's importance on the part of the
public. We have failed to grasp
the large perspective Of society.
There is a tremendous need for an
awakening to the problem. There
is wholesome conservatism which
must be overcome. We rightly
dread to touch the vital life Of So
ciety with unholy hands-but 1t
must be touched with holy hands.
The speaker referred to what had
already been done on the negative
side of the problm; Of our efforts to
control the evil tendencies. We are
recognizing that the feeble-minded
person of twenty five has the capa,
bilities, the potentialities, the ply.
steal propensities Of every human
being. Various methods have beer
tried: segregation, sterilization, ett
The real safeguard lies in caring
for these people in public institu
tions. Of the present number OF

Only because Of lack Of knowledg'
