mission Of every valuable trait. The
physical basis of heredity rests In the
small bodies, or chromosomes. within
the nucleus Of the germ cells. There
appears to be a separate body for
each quality whether 1t il from mans
point of view. good or bad. The phys
ical basis for traits are called factors
or determiners. The horse, like all
complex living organisms. il made up
Of unit characters, some desirable.
some undesirable. For man some
thing like twenty-five hundred traits
or units have been catalogued. The
laws governing the transmission Of
many Of the human traits have been
formulated.
Our studies show the colors Of
horses to be unit characters and that
they behave ~ simple Mendelian
units. That il. they do not blend 90
a. to lose their identity; but the weak
er or recessive ones disappear alto
gether in the external appearance Of
the horse. while the factors for them
remain latent in the germ plasm. We
call gray dominant because q pure
bred gray mated with a bay, black or
chestnut will invariably produce q
gray foal. While q gray foal will al
ways come from such q mating the
foal win be q hybrid gray and part of
its germ cells will contain the factor
for gray and part for the bay. II
the other parent was q bay.
A most interesting fact concerning
q recessive trait like bay IL that when
1t IL produced from parents one or
both Of which possesses In their coat
color dominant color like gray, the
bay foal can in no way transmit the
gray of Its ancestry. The reason for
this IL a pure bred gray produces germ
cells all Of which carry the factor for
gray. The pure bred bay can only
produce germ cells with the bay de-
terminer. When q hybrid gray foal
comes from one gray and one bay
parent 1t can produce two distinct
kind Of germ cells. One kind con-
tains determiner for gray. the other
kind q factor for bay.

(By w. 8. ANDERSON.)
The question Is often asked con-
corning the value Of coat color in
horses. There seems to be among
some breeders the idea that strength
or endurance goes with the color Of
the animal.
There Is no semblance of truth in
the traditional ideas Of this nature
There IL no evidence that points Of
value are in any way connected with
the Inheritance of coat color. The
factors or determiners which control
the transmission of color, so far as
we have been able to discover, are
Independent Of all other qualities.
The color itself il no indication Of q
good horse or of worthless one.
1t Is usually considered that black
color Is the one essential for q mule,
but some Of the best spans of mules
In the country are gray, and We
know of some valuable dun-colored
mules.
The statement cannot be too EN-.
phatic that speed, intelligence, vigor
and other good traits are inherited
Independent of color. While It IL
true that the color In indication of the
real value Of the horse there are those
who care for one color more than
for others. This is true when spans
are needed. 1t is imperative that they
be Of the same color and the same
shade II they are to be matched.
There should be no great difficulty in
breeding horses for any desired color.
: The laws governing the heredity Of
colors promise to be of the greatest
value of an indication of the method
for further research for the laws con-
trolling the transmission of gait,
speed, style, stamina conformation, in
telligence. docility. and all the quail
tiles which add value to the horse.
The breeding Of horses can be put
upon a more scientific. basis. There
are small bodies, or chromosomes, in
the germ cells which determine what
the color shall be. 1t Is only q fair
inference that there are similar deter.
miners in the germ cells for the trans

The Hearts In Men.

Two riverfront wanderers uncere-
moniously leaped into the river to res
cue an unfortunate woman who took
her own life. Whether or not these
men were outcasts we cannot know.
The report didn't attempt to furnish
description Of them. But little az
their own lives might be worth, they
did not hesitate to offer what they
had. On the river front one may daily
see little evidences Of heroism among
the discarded members of society and
the refuse of humanity. Under tat
tered clothes and scared features

With an air of eager expectancy, seN- eral thousand music loving citizen greeted the travel-stained Overland band last night at Capitol park and they were not disappointed as the visiting musicians rendered most pleasing programme. Under the capable direction of Herr Gus tav Koehler the band for two hours played many of the popular airs and also rendered a number of standard se- lections.
 The band is composed of nearly forty instruments and the tone quality was good. Opening with a spirited march the concert grew more attractive as the pro- gramme progressed, and all of the more difficult selections were well played. To some, the popular airs. which were given as encores, seemed most enjoyed, but to majority-the ones who had assembled because of their love for music-the rem dition of such artistic numbers as the "Raymond" overture and the Hungarian love song 'Hainalka" were particularly pleasing. All of the pieces elicited much applause. The opening march was en- titled 'gThe Suffragette," and led the way for many other favorites. Then came the overture. A serenade followed and concluded with medley of popular airs, such as 'ln My Harem," "Get Out, Get Out and Get Under" When That Mid

 Much credit is due to the overland mu- sicians for their proficiency. All of the members of the band are amateurs, that is, they are all workmen in the factories of the Willys-Overland company and have taken up music as aside line.'
