THE better DEAD"
POLICY OPPOSED
EXTREME SCHOOL OF EUGENIcs
ATTACKED BY SPEAKERS AT
LIVERPOOL CONFERENCE

ditions tAre Accounted for Long
Before Birth, Is Opinion of Or.
Saleeby.

Liverpool, Aug. 1.-The better
dead or extreme school of eugenics
has been sharply attacked by ma
tional welfare of infancy" meeting
here by DR.. c. w. Seleeby, a pupil Of
Francis Cation, the founder of Gu
genics. While heredity does boar ON
the problems of health, vitality and
longevity, it is not, said the doctor,
all essential and all Important. En-.
vironment is quite as important. He
accused those of the better dead"
school of blocking attempts to improve
the conditions OF human life on the
ground that such attempts interferred
with natural selection.
In fighting against the causes of
infant mortality, DR.. Saleeby denied
that natural selection was being in
terferred with.
Conditions initiated in the slums
and public houses are not natural" lie
said. 'They are hideously unnatural"
Eugenists of the extreme school
were accused of forgetting the i'm
portance of nurture before birth, of
prenatal influences due to environ
ment They assumed that it was
simply a question of heredity from
birth, when it has been proved that
infections and the forces of malnu-
triton have been playing on the child
for months before birth. The nurture
of the mother is therefore just as i'm.
portant as if the child had been fed
on gin and pickles after birth.
"There are no statistics and no ar
guments,' declared the speaker, "as
regards the relative Importance of ma
ture and nurture, which seem to rec
ognize the fact that every one of us
was alive, or should have been alive.
at least nine months before we were
born, and that nurture was playing
upon heredity during the whole OF
that period with a degree of power
which it never will be able to dis
place at a later period"
Alcohol could be found in a baby
born of tipping mother" the speak
err continued, but this was not here
dity; it was racial poison working out
as ante-natal malnutrition. 1t there
fore followed that the nurture of the
future parent was essentiaia for real
eugenics."
lDr Saleeby. after criticising the
biologists who spoke without any
practical experience with either chill
dren or mothers, laid down the follow

New York, Aug. IA series of un-
usual occurrences marked July in
professional baseball. Extrainnine
no-hit games, and accidents on the
diamond were grouped within a few
days, as was the case just about this
period in 1913.
Taking these unusual features by
dates, July II saw Clyde Milan in
collision with Moeller, his team-mate
as both raced for a fly ball in the
Westinghouse game with
the result that Milan received a bad
ly fractured jaw. On the same day
George Weaver. captain of the Chi
cago White Sox, coilided with Dem
mitt under similar conditions and was
severely injured about the head
no-hitno-run game and a twenty
one inning struggle also figured in
the records of July II. At Pittsburg
the New York Giants and the Pitts
burs Pirates played twenty-one in
nings the New York club winning by
to /. Rube Marquard and Babe
Adams, the rival pitchers, twirled the
entire contest.
With the exception of the twenty
four inning game between the Phila-
delphia Athletics and the Boston
Americans on September /, 1906, tins
IS the longest game ever prayed in
the major leagues
Three days previously the Hartford
club defeated the New Haven team

in the Eastern Association, which is
the third longest game in the record
of professional baseball, the twenty
six inning contest between Decatur
and Bloomington of the Three Ill
League, played on May 81, 1909, still
holds first pace and the Philadelphia
Boston twenty-four inning match Sc
cond position in the record of long
games.
Getting back to July II again.
James Withers, pitcher of the Duluth
club of the Northern League. twirled
no-hitno-run game against the
Virginia Club of the same League.
This is the third hitless game OF
the Northern League this season.
The next day at Lebanon, Pa, the
Lincoln Giants, semi-professional
team, varied the schedule by defeat
ing the home club % to 8, and Incl
dentahy scoring eight home runs.
Three players each secured two
circuit hits. Moving on to July 10,
the records show that the Wichita
Club of the Western League defeated
Sioux City to in a twenty-one in
ming game which required four hours
and forty-eight minutes to play. On
the same day at Long Branch, n. j.,
Jose Acosta, the Cuban pitcher OF
the seashore team, shut out the st.
Louis American League Club without
hit or run, winning a to 0 victory
in which he did not give base on
balls and had but twelve balls called
on his delivery for the full nine in
nings.

ably throughout England since the

Gutter babies are immune to ordi-
nary diseases and thrive under condi-
tons that would be the death to 9th
er children, said DR.. Thomas, health
officer for the Finsbury district in his
annual report, just published. DR..
Thomas works in the most congested
of the London boroughs, where 5000
families live and sleep in 5000 rooms.
Some of these babies" he says,
las soon as, or even before they are
able to crawl. are placed on the side
walks early in the day, to be watched
or nursed by a girl of four or five
years. They are true gutter children.
Sometimes the immature nurse falls
asleep, wearied by her task, and the
baby crawls to the other side of the
road, needless of traffic. Both are
filthy and gutter-stained. But they
seem to live. In fact the stock from
which they have sprung rises superior
to the ordinary diseases of childhood
Among the cases reported are
these:
A baby four months old was given
a piece of raw fat bacon to chew, be-
cause its grandmother said bacon was
good for babies and canaries.
One baby was dosed with stout and
aniseed by the mother, as a cure for
collie.
Another baby of nine weeks was
fed chiefly on weak tea.
DIR. Thomas complains of the "Sai-
rey Camps" who act as nurses and
mid-wives in the district, undoing the
work of the doctors in many cases.
He says their arrogance is equal only
to their ignorance.
