of heredity. They all live under the
same environment. But the hered-
ity elements are mixed in each in
different proportions. However, if
some human quality like music or
red hair was possessed by neither
parents and none of their ancestors
had it, none of the children will ever
have it.
Families. free from insanity, cpl
1epsy and imbecility can marry into
similar families with an absolute
certainty that they will never. have
insane, epileptic or feeble-minded
children. Whenever possible mate
strength with strength, virtue with
virtue, and prevent persons with the
same weakness from marrying each
other-these are the two chief rules
of the science of eugenics.

BY ALBERT WIGGAM.

When a girl is asked to marry all
the unborn children of the future are
waiting for her answer. Will she
bring together two blood lines of vir-
tue and glory? Or Will her answer
join two streams of heredity that will
make it absolutely certain that the
lives of the children will be one long
struggle with weakness, disease, rack
ed nerves, vacillating tempers, poverty
of talents, misery and sin?
Poor. poor thing She doesn't
know how TO answer. But, all! how
the new science of heredity could
help her. For at the very least
science knows now how to prevent
unions that can result in absolutely
nothing but children whose life is a
tragedy and whose death a blessing.
Study the family affairs of our
little friends, the guinea pigs. The
above two families belong to Pro-
fessor Castle of Harvard and were
given to the writer by the eugenics
record Office at Cold Springs Harbor,
New York. Everybody should write
to them to learn about the new won
ders of heredity.
At the left the mother guinea pig
has hair that is black and smooth.
The father below her has hair that
is white and rough. But note the
children. Neither child is like either
parent. The upper one has the black
hair of the mother and the rough
hair OF the father. The lower one
the white hair of the father and the
smooth hair of the mother.
R1If the most WOudarfuI thing &c
that Professor Castle knew this was
going to happen before they were
mated. In an enormous number of
characters the offspring can be pre-
dicted both in animals and human
beings.
Now let us elaborate a suggestion
made by Or. Davenport of the
eugenics Office. Imagine these little
fellows human beings. And suppose
the blackness OF the mother were i'm

London Post of Oct 81, 17eS:
Two men In the pit at Drury Lane

interrupted upward Of a quarter of an
hour. The audience at last asserted
their power and turned them disgrace
fully out of the theater. This should

BRYAN IS PERILED
BY THEATRE FIRE.
Secretary and Vice President
Among Those in Danger on
Stage at Washington.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 9.-While
/ 1000 persons were leaving Polls thea
ter yesterday afternoon flames burst
drought the stage from which Vice
President Marshall and Secretary OF
State Bryan had addressed the first of
a series of inter-denominational Bible
conferences to be held throughout the
country. But the audience passed out
oblivious to the danger.
The fire had been burning beneath
the stage for some time apparently.
Had the flames appeared ten minutes
earlier a disaster might have been the
result The aisles of the theater were
jammed and every other available foot
of space in the auditorium was occu-
pied during the meeting.
Tongues of flame spurted through
augur holes in the floor OF thu stage
and licked the trouser legs of some of
the ministers seated on the platform.
Rev A. II. Zimmerman of Washington
was the first to feel the flames at his
legs. and. though he moved quickly,
he maintained his own presence of
mind and uttered a low word of
warning to the men about him.
Then he ran into the wings and
called Fireman w. NJ. Fare. who was
on duty in the theatre.
Fare took a look at the flames, an
other at the emptying aisles, and then
turned in an alarm. It was only when
the fire engines changed up to the
tkeater that the hundreds outside
learned the danger they had been in.
the theater was full of smoke
the fremen had little difficulty in ex-
the blaze.
Vice President Marshall, who pre-
sided over the conference, had just left
the platform when the fire was dis
covered. Mr.. Marshall. introducing
one OF the speakers, said that this gov
ernment never can have real stability
until the people of the United States
return to the old fashioned religion"
Secretary Bryan said in his address
that he fully believed the miracles re-
lated in the Bible, which. he added had
proved itself a much better book than
any best seller"

becility and the smoothness repre-
scented kindness of heart. Let the
wilderness of the father represent
business shrewdness and ability and
the roughness a brutal disposition.
The upper child gets the blackness
or the stupidity of the mother,
coupled with the roughness or bru-
tally of the father. Now neither
parent was both brutal and stupid,
but the child is.
But how fortunate the second
child. 1t gets the wilderness repre-
senting the ability of the father, to-
gether with the smoothness of the
mothers sweet disposition. So this
child has what neither parent had.
both ability and kindness. 1t will
with ease and joy rise high in the
community while its poor brothers
life is a foredoomed tragedy.
True, it takes a good environment
to bring good qualities to fruition.
But stupidity coupled with brutality
is bound to show in any environ
ment.
1t is not contended that human
qualities can be managed quite so
easily. Many human qualities are
doubtless due to three or four fac
tors. Some children will get all four
factors and show the quality In its
full strength. Another child gets
but one factor and the quality
scarcely shows at all. But the new
heredity has shown that all mental
and physical human characters do
follow the same set of laws as the
color in guinea pigs. They are due
to the same set of causes. So when
all the factors are known the off |
spring can be predicted with equal |
ease and certainty.
The family of guinea pigs at the |
right merely add a third quality. !
Instead OF merely adding TO, 1t
multiplies the difficulties of the prob |
lem as well as the number of differ |
ent types of children. In this family |
shortness, smoothness and blackness !
Of hair is mated with longness, |
and Wilderness. And from
that kind of parents Professor /
Castle bred six different kinds of
not one precisely like
either parent.
Many people say, 81 don't believe
IN heredity. Look at all those chill
iren as different as night and day, /
and not one like the parents"
Why that is one of our chief proofs

AVERAGE HUMAN
LIFE INCREASING
President American Association
Points Service of Medicine
to Civilization.

| Atlantic City, N. j., June pa
the first general session OF the ootf
| annual convention OF the American
Medical association here today Dr
Victor c. Vaughan was installed as
president of the association, succeed
| ing DR.. John A Witherspoon of Nash
vile, Tenn. Dr. Vaughan made THE
Service of Medicine to Civilization
the subject of his inaugural address.
I'm the last century the average OF
human life has been increased by fif-
teen years and this increase could be
duplicated in the next twenty years, "
he said. eff the facts we now possess
were effectively employed.
THE further development of medi-
cine, both curative and preventive, de-
pend on scientific investigation. The
public is the beneficiary and should
I'm every way encourage medical re-
search. The federal government and
the states should sustain and promote
scientific research. That government
is the best which secupres for its
citizens the greatest freedom from
disease, the highest degree of health
and the longest life, and that people
which most fully secures the enjoy
ment of these blessings will dominate
the world.
I'VE boast of a great civilization,
but this is justified only within limits.
The historian of the future will have
no difficulty in convincing his readers
that those who lived at the beginning
of the twentieth century were but
slightly removed from barbarism, as
he will tell that schools, saloons and
houses of prostitution flourished
in close proximity; that the
capitalist worked his employees
under conditions which precluded
soundness of body; that the
labor union man dynamited buildings;
that whilst we sent missionaries to
convert the Moslems and the Buddhist,
ten thousand murders were committed
annually in our midst, and that large
percentage of our mortality was due
to preventable disease.
'In each state there should be n.y.

men, supplied with facilities for the
study of sanitary conditions and for
