it necessary to change front at times

While Clark and Bryan may not find
fault with the Presidents repudiating
the canal free toll plank of the demo-
cratic platform, we venture the predic-
tion that they do not want it to estab-
lish a precedent to discard the plank
which favors one term for the presi-
dency.

there would have been, IL these en-
joyed average health.
He believes that the weakness of
the first-born is due to the fact that
the channels of circulation in the
mother are not yet sufficiently de-
veloped to afford all the nourish-
ment needed to the child. There
are also several secondary causes.
The first-born and the earlier chill
dren are more subject than the
later to imbecility, epilepsy and SIM
liar defects, and Professor Hansen
intends to investigate these points
fully, as he has done with regard
to tuberculosis.
The inferior quality of the first
born children is matter of great
Importance to the present world
wide propaganda Of eugenics. The
tendency to limit families Is con-
stantly spreading among the more
civilized nations. AS families be-
came smaller the proportion of first
born to the whole number of chill
dren must become larger.
Professor Hansen believes from
the experience of France. that there
is no hope of stopping the limiting
of families. For number of years
France has offered prizes and other
inducements to parents to produce
large families. but without import
ant results. Professor Hansen be-
lieves that our only resource is to
take special care of the children,
because the proportion of weakly
dirst4born must become constantly
greater.

OF the Eugenics Education Society,
has reached some interesting coz
illusions bearing on first4born and
later children. He finds that when
the parents marry at the ideal Pc
ribd the third child has the best
chance of being strong and able.
H decides that the ideal period for
marriage Is twenty-five for a woman
and between thirty and thirty-hve
for man.
He thinks that woman who
m aries at twenty-five will have
three children by the time she is
thirty. The third child born at this
period has the best chances in lie,
because the mother has reached the
fulncss of her development and for
several other reasons.
Pc finds that IL parents are com.
paratively advanced in life, tho clil-
dren inherit something of their age
aud have less chance to live long.
This tendency is more noticeable
when the mother Is middle-ageh
than when the father is. For In
stance, the children of mothers
around the fortieth year do not have
good chances of long life, although
they may be well and strong. They
inherit the maternal age.
Very young parents also bequeath
some of their immaturity to their
children and these are not likely to
be of fine physical development, al
though they may be healthy and
long-lived. A mother under twenty
three Is regarded as immature in the
Anglo Saxon races.

It Is scarcely necessary to say that
all eugenists do not share Professor
Hansen's feeling that 1t is hopeless
to create a sentiment In favor or
large families. Most of them ad-
yocate families of considerable size
in the interests of the race, and they
believe that when the science or eu-
genics Is better understood, their adj
vice will be needed.
The idea of having very large
families or just as many children
as possible is discouraged by eu-
genists, because the object of eu-
genics is quality rather than guam
tity. But eugenists are equally
opposed to the idea of limiting fam
lilies to one or two, or none at all.
Many eugenics advise parents to
aim at three, although when all con-
ditions are favorable 1t is desirable
to have more. The idea commonly
held in France and other countries
that two children to a family are
sufficient to maintain the popula-
tion at It's present figure Is entirely
wrong. If fertile parents have only
two children to family, nothing is
done to replace those adults who do
not marry or are necessarily un.
productive. 1t Is not certain that
three children to family would
maintain the population at its pres
emit standard. but 1t is believed that
with better care of health this num-
Der might suffice.

Owners Of pretentious country
houses that burn are not deliberate
incendiaries,' says Safety Engineer
ing, but are they not passive incen-
diaries in accepting conditions thai
favor fires? Certainly they could have
afforded homes built to endure; they
had money to encourage the anguish
ing craft of perpetuating beautiful ar
chitectural creations with lasting ma
terials, and incidentally, to set few
good examples to a country that
needs them badly"
Mistakes, it Is pointed out, are
often made in building house which
must eventually lead to fire
sooner or later. For instance, plank
of the flooring may project into a
fiue. The protruding plank in the
flue would become as dry as finder
as result of the heat to which It
was subjected, and eventually a fly
ing spark from the fire would ignite
the plank and the destruction of the
house would almost surely follow.
No clue at all would be left to tell
the tale.
Sometimes, of course. the care.
lessness of carpenter might re.
suit in similar situation, and in
one of the fires in question, this
possibility is being considered. This
was the case of the Dawson fire.
The Dawson place at Peacock
Point is a three-story brick and
white stone structure. one OF the
handsomest on Long Island. It had
been closed all the Winter until the
day before the fire, when Mrs.
Dawson, her two sons, Trubee and
Harry, and three school chums Of
the sons, motored from New York
to spend the day.

boys decided to build a wood fire.
Logs were lighted in huge fire.
place. When the place was suffi-
GENTLY warmed, they put out the
fire and forgot all about It. Some
hours later one OF the caretakers
saw smoke coming from the roof,
and long before the firemen from
Glen Cove arrived on the scene, the
mansion was doomed.
Here was a case where a heat
dried plank protruding into the
iue might very readily have been
the cause of the fire, but, of course.
1t was impossible to ascertain its
actual origin.
ne SAty-room mansion OF Mrs.
W. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., which was de-
stroyed on February IS, was a new
house. A defective fiue was given
as the cause Of the fire which de-
stroyed 1t, but whether or not a
protruding door-plank figured in the
case will never be known. Mrs. VAN

into the causes of these fires. While

TTfERE is an old, widely held
belief that oldest children are
= liable to inherit the weak
nesses of their parents. Unlike
many old beliefs, this one has been
supported by modern science. Pro
lessor Soren Hansen, director of.
the Danish Anthropological Survey,
one Of the leading eugenists of Eu-
rope, in an article in the Eugenics
Review, says:
THAT the earliest born children
are Of inferior quality to the sue
ceeding at birth is an indisputable
and long-known fact of experience"
The Oldest children weigh less
than the others, are more frequent
ly born dead and of those that come
into the world alive much larger
proportion die in the first year.
They are more subject to tubercu-
losis, short sight and feeble-mind-
edness than later born children.
Professor Hansen examined the
1922 tuberculosis patients Of the
Oresund Hospital, In Copenhagen.
and found that 9Ss were first-born,
713 second-born, and 56S third-born.
After taking many possible sources
of error into consideration, he came

Island Palace Was Burned
Down Before She Could
Occupy 1t.

WV HAT is the secret of the long
NAF series Of disastrous fires
w that has destroyed so many
of the houses of the New York
millionaire colony on Long Island?
Since the first of the year there
have been nine fires, resulting in the
complete destruction OF that number
of houses in the Long Island colony
The amount of property destroyed
was over 100000. The number of
fires before this year in the same
district had been remarkably large
for number of years.
The fires have been SO numerous,
they have occurred i'll such close
proximity to one another and they
have made victims SO evidently of
the same set of persons that the sus-
picion inevitably arises that crime or
at least some form of wrong doing is
at the root of the trouble.
The owners of the houses are prac-
tically agreed that somebody is try
ing to burn their places down. The
representative of Paul ID. Cravath,

sufferers, has made this admission.
He and his neighbors are now en-
gagged in search for the culprit or
culprits. There are now on Long
Island more persons of great wealth
than can be found in any equal
stretch CT country in the world. The
houses are more costly than any
other equal area could show.
The possessors of all these palaces
are thoroughly alarmed by the
thought that somebody Is plotting to
burn their dwellings, down in the
dead of night, endangering their art
treasures and even the lives Of the
occupants.
AS to the motive for the incendiary
plot there is still much uncertainty.
Opinion varies between attributing
the acts to some hater of the million
aire owners and to some wicked
contractor or material man who
wishes to make an opportunity to
supply new material.

who are especially objects of attack
