Against Stable Methods.

San Francisco, Feb. 16-That ma
lures laws in the mating of men and
women are immutable and that breed
ing stable methods cannot be applied
to the human race, is the little whack
at eugenics taken last night by Dr..
A. w. Meyer, head of the department
of anatomy in the Stanford medica
school. DR.. Meyer spoke in the popu-
lar public lecture course in the medi-
cal college at Lane hall.
81 am in sympathy with the eu-
genie movement" said DR.. Meyer, "but
it can never be brought to the point
that it's foremost advocates would be
lieve. The mere selection of perfect
types will not necessarily breed per-
feet type nor accomplish any good for
the human race. The father has du-
ties toward the child as well as the
mother. The movement must depend
upon evolution within itself. Manly
men will naturally select womanly
women, and strong will be mated and
the race grow better"

Ambassador Page as Linguist

Omitted Press Day Servce)
Rome, Feb. 16-Ambassador Mel
son Page is in imminent peril of be-
ing awarded a Carnegie hero medal.
At the recent meeting of the Italian
branch of the Carnegie foundation,
Ambassador Page was elected presi-
dent. Although he had been in Italy
but two months, he insisted on con-
Quoting the entire business of the
meeting in Italian and got away with
it so well that at the close his Ital-
ian conferes unanimously decided
that at the next sitting they would
present to him his own name for an
award.
The commissioner for the first time
in Italy awarded gold medal with
5000 in cash. This went to DR.. Pietro
Foinini. While performing a difficult
operation upon woman to save her
from blood poisoning, DR.. Foinani
found that she must inevitably suf
focate from the blood that flowed
from the wound into her throat and
lungs. Placing his mouth over the
wound he sucked away the infected
blood until the hemorrhage ceased and
he could proceed with the operation.
Several bronze and silver medals were
also awarded for acts of bravery in
connection with life saving.

Long Lease Expires.

Middletown, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Mrs.
William Lucas of Hancock, Delaware
county, expects soon to receive her
share in a $6,000,0OO estate which
grew immensely in value in the last
hundred years. Her grandfather, Fen
ton Harlow, it is said, was one of the
men who, disguised as Indians, formed
the "Boston tea party" and threw a
cargo of tea into Boston harbor.
Harlow is reported to have owned
at that time thirteen acres of land
where part of the business center OF
Boston is now located Later, his
heirs assert, he leased the land for
80 years, and they estimate that to-
dav the property is worth at least
$6,000,000. =.
Other heirs are five sons of de-
ceased sister of the direct heirs. They
believe that an equitable adjustment
and division of the estate will be
made this year.

HOG CHOLERA COST IOWA

Omitted Press Day Service)

NOHlttu IieSS Lay oSiNiSoJ
Ames, Ia, Feb. 16-Hog cholera
in Iowa cost the farmers $33 100000
in 1918. Nearly 100000 hogs died
of the diseace and experts say this is
nearly 35 per cent of the total num-
ber The loss to Iowa farmers was
two and half times as great as dur
ing 1912, despite the efforts of the
state and federal government to
stamp out the disease.
Those estimates are based on re-
ports from 1920 different men cover
ing every community in every county
in the state, as compiled by Director
w. J. Kennedy, of the state agricul-
tural college extension department.
DR.. c. H. STANCE, director of the
state serum laboratory, gathered sta
tistics which show that when healthy
hogs We're treated the loss after
treatment was less than 2 1-3 per
cent. When sick hogs were treated
the loss was between sixteen and
seventeen per cent. But in many sec
tions of the state serious results fol-
lowed the use of good virus and poor
serum. Experts say that provision
must be made for the thorough test
ing of all serum, under either state
or federal authority, before it can be
sold
