The Selection of Wives

The principle on which wives are
selected was discussed by NJ. W.
Keatinge, reader in education IN the
University Of oxford. at mertuE of
the EugcniCs Education Society held
in the Grafton Galleries, London. He
said he considered that education Of
the right kind Was the main avenue
through which the problem of eugen-
jos should he approached. II the state
wanted men who were leaders with
driving power, they must educate
that class in which the principle OF
selection had acted most directly and
with greatest force for education
would not turn a feeble character in
TO a fOrcible one. II had a directive
power but VigOr was produced by Sc
lection.
In which class OF society was Sc
lection in marriage most markedly
found? he asked. With the artisan
and labOrer there was practically no
selection for marriage so far as the
nan was concerned AS to the rich
classes with a considerable reserve of
capital. on what principles did they
SSlbCI iHeti wives. ne COuCluSLOu
was that ornamental qualities were
the determining qualities - as with
The laboring classes, superficial good
locks. They found young men of
wealth marrying chorus girls. a proc
ess which, when stated in terms of
selection, means that they were Sc
lecting for the most superficial quail
ties girls who frequently. had been
driven to their mode or life because
their fathers had been selected for
failure owing to the absence in them
Of those qualities which the state
most needed.
They must look to the professional
classes as the classes in which selec-.
tion for marriage was likely to be-
found, said the speaker. There was,
however. the tendency toward defer
red marriage which had to be combat
ed, and this was due to the increased
demands for comforts. Mr.. Keatinge
alluded to the liking for motor cars
and dress and Injuries and urged that
the introduction to modern society of
truer and saner standards was the
work of education. Once that work was
done then the pressure would be re-
lieVed and large families would once
more be seen among the professional
classes.-London Standard. -" a.,

in my opinion the best thing the
HidaIGo shareholders can DO at pre-.
, Cnt is to send a qualified Representa-
tive 10 Mexico with authority t0 megO-
tiate with the French bank or som"
ether bank there to finance the prop
e-fty until the tauG!c has been straight
ened out, and to offer for such ser-
vice 80 per cent Of our Interest in the
company"
This is the plan suggested by y. p.
X. Isenberg. one Of the local share
holders. He reiterated again To-Day
that he does, not believe in trying TO
raise any more money from the Tia
waiian investors sending good money
after bad, as he characterized the
proposition in the meeting Of the
shareholders on Monday. Bat he be-
lieyes that it might be possible TO
save a part of the money by the plan
he suggests.
Hawaiian shareholders in the Hi
dalgo Plantation & Commercial Com
pany have paid into the enterprise
nearly 100000. To carry cut Mr.
Isenbergs plan would mean turning
over half OF this investment at its
face value to a financial institution on
the ground that it might be willing to
see the company out OF its difficult
ties.
There seems TO be no question that
the Hidalgo property is intrinsically
valuable, and If the debts which bur-
den it can be cleared up it should,
under proper management, be a good
paying proposition.
Mr.. Isenberg stated this morning
that Brainerd Smith, who sold the
stock in Hawaii land incidentally
taken $215,000 as his commissioner
had certainly misrepresented the sta
tus OF the shares to him. He repre-
scented to me, and to others" said Mr..
Isenberg, that every share represent
ed definite amount of actual acre.

On one little island in Gatun lake,
in the Panama canal zone. formerly
known as Lion hill, there are more
species of birds than in any other one
locality in the Western Hemisphere,
1t is declared. E. A Goldman of the
biological survey, department of agri-
culture, has procured about 800 spe-
cies in only two short trips to the zone
and there are mahy others still. In
the neighberhoOd of Gatun alone, at
the Atlantic entrance of tho canal
zone, no less than POO species have
been found.

Americans at Oxford

OF the whole number of scholars in
residence during 1928 as undergrad
yates at Oxford SO are from the Uni
ted States. They represent every
state in the Union; so that the influ-
ence of the scholarship and the train
ing that they give will be widely dis
tributed throughout the country.
The Oxford test of scholarship and
academic standing is in its honor
schools The work Of these schools
probably represents more severe
training and greater intellectual eff
fort than is required 70 obtain the
German doctorate, so much sought af-
ter in the past by American students
looking to an educational career. Out
of ten first classes gained by Rhodes
scholars in the honor schools the re-
port shows that five were won by
Americans: one in literae humaniCres
tclassics and philosophy, two in jur-
isprudence. one in modern histOr! and
enc in theology. The second class al
SO represents a high grade of work,
and of these Americans gained thir-
teen. For the 3. - l.. degree. one Of
the stiffest examinations Of the uni
versity, no American gained fist, as
q few have done in past year. but SoV-
eral obtained a second. On the whole.
the honor schools in Jurisprudence
and modern history seem from the re-
port to have the greatest attraction
for American students. though the
courses of study are distributed ,ver
l.;
students apparently turn their chiet
attention to economics. - George R.
Parkin in New York Times.

Before leaving for the Coast yes
torday, T. A. Rippey, the Boston cap
italiSt who has been in the city for
several weeks past in connection with
the Hidalgo plantation matter. urged
that the local shareholders get to-
eether and arrange for a .reOrgantza-
ton Of the company. He declares
that appraiSement of the property by
the Credit FOncier. the French bank
in Mexico, which is one Of the credit
Ors of the Hidalgo and other o. H.
Harrison properties, was $1,465,357.

points out, is but $5S1,673. His idea
is to re-incorporate, for 81 .500.0 900, and
to cancel the Indebtedness of the old
company by bond issue of $500, 000.-
The profits from the rubber and cof-
fee, he declares, are amply sufficient
to take care of these bonds.
1t is probable that another meeting
of the company will be called shortly
to decide what, if any, steps shall be
taken towards redeeming the losses
occasioned by the gross mismanage-
ment of those in control. The posi-
bility that the property may be en-
tfrely ruined as a result of the con-
flict between Mexico and the United
States is one which must be counted
upon, in connection, with any plan
that may be adopted. & -,

A Million Dollar Shop

Bridge construction has made not
able progress in the United States in
the last five years, due to the erec
ton of a number of long.span rail
road bridges. In the second Quebec
bridge, the latest and longest, great
span to be put under construction, the
magnitude and cost of the superstruc,
ture demanded special equipment and
methods for the fabrication of its
members. The plans for the shop,
which viii handle about $4,000 tons OF
material for this bridge alone, were
made and revised by specialists, IA
mfliar with the difficulties Of fabri'
eating unusually large steel struc-
lures. g.,sg -. K. .s.. :-
Instead of utilizing. experimenting
or improving an existing plant, an en-,
tirely new $1,000, 600 shop was erected
and equipped with the fabrication of
this bridge particularly in mind. II
has been especially arranged for a
normal output of 1000 tons per month.
