We're Blaming Too Much on Heredity

nROBABLY 1t is a sort of melan-
 choly comfort to many people
 to place the blame fer their shortcomings and misfortunes upon their parents and direct ancestors. Perhaps it is well to be resigned to the inevitable, but first it is impor- tant not to be deceived about the fnality of the situation Hereditary disadvantages, as science shows, do not persist forever, not even when accepted with resignation. They often skip whole generations, and can be modified, even altogether eradicated, by individual opposition to their tendencies.
 Hereditary tendency to various dis eases is an overworked bugbear in many families. A wholesome light is thrown on this unfortunate dispo- sition in the lecture on "Heredity and Environment in the Develop ment of Men," delivered this year at Northwestern University by Pro- lessor Edwin c. Conklin, of Prince ton. Any thinking person knows that it is not possible for any ancestor to transmit his or her personal characteristics undiluted, and the farther back the accused ancestor the more diluted is his legacy to the present gentration.
 Anatomical inheritances are rather persistent-such as webbed fingers and toes, short and crooked limbs, defects of the inner ear causing hard ness of hearing, and so forth. But many abnormal or monstrous con ditions are due to abnormal environ ment and are not inherited"
 Professor Conklin, referring to dis ease. says: eff disease is due to some defect in the hereditary con stitution 1t is inherited: otherwise. according to our definition of hered- ity, 1t is not" He admits that cer- tain diseases run in families, and thus have the appearance of being inherited; but it is only the weak ness, or susceptibility, that is in. herited, not the disease itself. If this hereditary susceptibility is removed by hygienic living, then the disease is acquired just as any other person ncquiret 1t, and will yield to treat

 The fifteen wives, the Chamberlain and the Gentleman Guard walked out. At several places, it seems, they stopped, but at none could five dol lars be made to fit seventeen hungers.
 The Sultan, strolling down the Champs. saw a familiar and charm ing figure fitting before him. He hastened.

 Going swiftly around a corner he bumped full into the unhappy Cham berlain. He gripped him by the shoulders 'Is it spent? Quick" he shouted. No, not yet" said the Chamberlain, frightened out of all caution. Give 1t to mel" roared the Sultan. Still hypnotlzed by fright. the Chamberlain reached down Into his pockets and gave up the five dol- lars. The Sultan grabbed 1t and fled straight back to the waiting Ninon.
 Slowly the Chamberlain awoke from his trance All at once he tore his hair and beat his breast The hungry fifteen Pearls of Price began to clamor
 All was plain to them. Like hounds after Il rabbit they struck the Sutan's trail.
 And just as the Luminary of Zanzi- bar was settling for real pleasant time down upon him swooped wives and Chamberlain.

 It is apparent, of course, that the whole illustrlous crowd found food at last. But since then they have been literally living from hand to mouth. England is too busy to ad- vance anything. Zanzibar isn't nearly as important to them now as 1t was There aren't any ships running that way now. Even if there were. the Sultan and his troupe would be a bad risk, because it is very strongly reported that the Zanzibareans have

 enterprising American man. ager wants to hire a real Sultan and the pick of his two hundred and four wives there's an opportunity for him right here
 The Sultan of Zanzibar is at liberty with fifteen of his Zanzibar beauties as a troupe-his four first wives and eleven of his two hundred second wives. The Sultan is dark chocolate, but truly royal; his spouses range from ebony finish to the hue of a six-day-old lemon meringue But every one of them is accomplished in all the Zanzibarean equivalents of the tango. fox trot and maxixe.
 At the time of mailing this all the Sultan, his matrimonial troupe the Sutan's Chamberlain and the gentle man who looks after the wives had among them was $10. A week ago they were down to $5. So it will be seen that times are a little better now. Nevertheless. the Sultan is very, very anxious-so step up, gen tlemen, and bid A real live Sultan, His Glorious and Effulgent Majesty. Ali ben Hamoud, and his troupe is "At Leisure"
 In all the topsy-turviness that the war has caused there is no more curious incident than this. Only the war has made it possible.
 Your pardon, please, for a para graph of history. It is necessary to explain how the plight of His Glorious and Effulgent Majesty came about and why he is for hire.
 Zanzibar is down in East Africa. It is quaint old place, full of quaint old customs, such as chopping people to death, boiling them in oil, and so on. Ali ben Hamoud's royal father had heard about Europe from mis- sionaries and traders, and, being progressive. sent his heir apparent away to be educated. Ali received education at Harrow, England, and in the Paris cafes. Paris, as is well un- derstood does not draw the color line When the old Sultan died and Ali was called back to the throne Ger many sought to win his favor and gain the pr0tectorate over Zanzibar. England objected to this and invited him to London to talk it over. The Sul- tan wouldn't go any further than Paris. so the British Government paid his expenses at the Ritz and also his ex- penses for a tour of France. Ali travelled through France from Mont martre to the Bois, and, after awhile,

longevity runs in families and is truly an inheritance-as 1t is in cer- tain species of animals, the elephant and the parrot, for example. Ten dencies toward obesity and to ab- normal thinness are inherited. They are physiological peculiarities, like resistance and lack of resistance of disease. The nervous system comes under this head, and may be in- herited. An inherited. unstable ner- vous system may account for such family peculiarities as epilepsy, hys- teria and alcoholism.

 People do not inherit tuberculosis, or other germ diseases. as many be- lieve. At birth the children of tuber- culous parents very rarely show any signs of the disease. They may have inherited inadequate resistance, but actual nfection-without which the disease cannot develop-cannot occur until after birth.
 Resistance to disease is inherited as well as lack of resistance. Thus

 The Sultan found himself a little short when he arrived. Travelling expenses had made inroads into the last $50,000 he had gotten nearly a year before from Britain. He put up with the fifteen. the Chamberlain and the Gentleman Guard of the Necklace of Black Pearls, at the Hotel Ter minus, near the Care St. Lazarre.

 No, they didn't look at all the same, decided the Sultan.
 So around the end of June His Glorious and Effulgent Majesty de- cided to take the best fifteen over to Paris to study the fashions in situ. He would dearly have loved to bring some Parisiennes right to Zanzibar to teach his wives there and spare them the trouble of the journey, but his subjects are still somewhat old-fash- toned and the religious customs for bade.

 Just when they were studying the hardest there was a loud explosion and war broke. The hotel betrayed an earnest desire to have the Sultan pay his bill. With TO- y a l contempt b e n H a m o Il d paid. Thinking it over he went again to the British Am bassador.

HUSKING WITH GASOLINE.

An Ohio man has invented a me-
chanical corn husker. The device
runs with a gasoline engine. Its
possessor, who, presumably. is at the
same time possessor of a shock of
corn, hauls the machine beside the
shock, turns on the sparker-if that's
the way gasoline motor is started
and the shucker begins to shuck.
The cleaned ears are elevated to a
wagon standing near, and the stalks
stripped of corn are deposited else
where. 1t all works very nicely, ac-
cording to the prospectus.
Clearly, this inventor has no TO-
nance about him. He may be an
inventive genius, but he never at
