SACRAMENTO. Jan. 20.-Acting in
conjunction with The board of control
Senator Brown has introduced a moth
er'S pension bin which is calculated
10 give California first rank among
states in this particular form of lcgis-
lati0n. y companion measure was pre-
senicd in the lower house by Assembly,
man Finnigan.
Under the terms of the proposed
law widowed mothers will receive 500
yearly for each child. $3.50 for two
children and SO additional for each
additional child. Payments will be
made monthly, but no pension Will be
allowable for children above 10 years.
The acceptance Of This pension is III
no wise to he considered as an act Of
charity. The law contemplaleS that
widowed mothers shall have an ahSO-
lutc right to the pension providing they
have not an income sufficient To main
lain their child or children in the home.
Il is proposed that boards of super
NiSur1 shall have jurisdiction of this
pension fund. but the board shall have
no option in determining who shall re
ceiNc these pensions.
The state board of control is en-
powered to examine all cases where
aid is granted or rrfusc'i and will have
authority to reject where aid has been
granted without the need existing or

be- lie color Of his Wifr'S eyes In
the language Of hrrcdily. Smiths
brown eye color dominates over blue

color ha, been derived from one par

to De lighter in color and only half
of his germ cells will have The po-
fcnliality for making brown eyes.
Hence if he marrics a blue or gray

will have brown rye>-and light

tons of dilution. In ease Smiths wife
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 a brown
eyed narenL 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
