Experts Reject EueenicS

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, jan. 49,
Breeding race of human thorough
breds'' by mating eugenicalIy perfect
women with eugenically perfect men,
will be rejected as an .unsostnd theory
by the executive COMMITTEES Of the Ma
tional Conference on Race Betterment,
v hen it announces its conclusions from
New York city early next month.
DR.. MAYNARD Metcah. professor OF
zoology at Oberlin College, and DR.. Win
field s. Hall, professor OF physiology at
Northwestern University, among the
speakers at the closing sessions of the
conference today. told why they believe
live stock methods of breeding blue
ribbon winners could not be applied to
the human race.
A sociologist. Prof. Herbert Adolphus
Miller. of Olivet College, Michigan, sup
ported their views and previous speak
ers have held to the same theory.
The scientist knows too little of
the laws of heredity to breed perfect
men and women by selecting mates. -
declared DR.. Metcalf.
1T is doubtful whether science will
ever reach a point where stock-breeding
methods could be used with human be-
lngs."
Arbitrary control of marriage would
be impossible, even IL II were admitted
TO be advantageous" said DR.. Hall
But the days of the ill-advised mating
of a perfect woman with a grossly i'm
perfect man. with the hope of reforming
him, are rapidly passing. The young
girl of the future will stop to analyze
the man."
Systematic and frank instruction in
sex matters today's speakers declared,
will do much toward improving the
human race

OF course Mary didn't mind, since
she knew that he WANTED very
much TO go. Which is very much the
way of all devoted women. Then
again, Tom and Dick would invite him
to remain downtown with the boys tc
dinner. and what a simple matter il
was to telephone about it. On these
occasion he would come nome late
very late; but appreciating his wife
as stated before. he would apologize
for his shortcomings, which in truth
were short goings.
AS time went on these things be-
came more frequent, but the apology
was always on tap. He thought hav-
ing duly explained himself, that suf-
ficient unto the day was the excuse
thereof.
He did not realize that every time
he apOlOgiZed he emphasized his
growing fault. Several times Mary
ventured a bit Of remOnstrance at his
utter selfishness Then he would
apologize again. And. womanIike, she
forgave, as usual. He seemed to be
humble and repentant, and displayed
all the sob stuff that goes with the
apolOgiZeT.
But apology spells admission, and
the woman one rainy Thursday realiz-
ed that unkept promises and apologies
are ClOSe partners. 'on| came TO the
conclusion that the business Of being
wife for her boara and keep" was
not what she had expected: and that,
where appreciation is concerned, ac-
tom are cannons compared to words.
SO the lady left and used the same
energy in providing for herself that
she had used in the home of the man.
She grew away from him. He apollo
SiZed to himself in vain. He lost her.
Moral: The man who makes good
does not need TO make apologies.

Dress for Comfort

Copyright. 1914, by the Press Publishing Co
= NADORNED beauty may bt
most beautiful, but it's hardly
practical in the American eli.
mate outside art museums Fol
the woman who is trying to make
the best of her looks the question OF
clothes is bound to be an important
one.
The first thing that l require of my
clothes is that they be comfortable. ]
do not believe that a woman can make
an attractive impression II her comfort
and temper are suffering from tight
shoes.
| never buy shoes a size or two sizes
too small for me. Nor do buy hats tCo
big and heavy. There is no quicker way
of getting a headache than to wear
several pounds of hat And a.headache
spoils the expression of the eyes and
puts wrinkles in the forehead.
l think women today are more SEN
sible about their neckwear than they
were a few years ago. How can any
woman wear a high. stiff linen collar, or
any tight collar-at least, IL she ever
wishes to appear in an evening gown?
The only way to be sure OF avoiding
those ugly brown lines around The
throat is to wear a round, soft fat COL
lar, which doesn't extend above the
collarbone. Such a collar is perfectly
modest. and is suitable for any occa-
sion except a formal evening function
or the opera, when decollete dresses are
worn
An excellent general rule to follow IN
selecting your costumes is to choose a
tint which matches your eyes or con-
trasts with your hair
\ woman should always try to en-
phasIZe her attractions and minimize
her defects by means of her dress. For
instance, IL she has beautiful arms, she
should wear elbow sleeves whenever
possible. II she has a well-shaped head
and pretty hair, she should pick out
hats which do not extend from her eye
brows to the nape OF her neck.
Daintlness is an important accessory
of beauty, and the most seductive siren
cannot afford to wear unpublished shoes,
ripped gloves or ragged-edge skirts.
Finally, the woman who would be
beautiful should make her clothes ex-
pressive of her personality, but should
not allow them to obscure It,
