SUGGESTS PLANS To
SAVE FUTURE RACES
Story of 1.-The Halifax Fam
iIy," Showing How Feeble
Minded People Affect HUI
manity is Told by Dr.. Myers.

How the offspriugs of a normal
father and a feeble minded mother
developed into 1916 descendants Of
whom 262 are feeble minded was the
interesting study in heredity given last
night at the public library by DR..
Burton Myers Of Indiana university in
lecture on 1.-The Halifax Family"
under the auspices Of the st. Joseph
county medical society. DR.. Myers
supplemented his lecture with a series
of stereOpticOn slides all tie result of
years OF patient and difficLl work Of
investigators.
In 1897 a feebleminded girl gave
birth to a son fathered by one Martin
Kallikak, a Virginia soldier. This son
was feeble minded. To this Martin
Kallikak jr have been traced $50
descendants. OF this $50, 143 were
feeble minded and only As normal, the
remainder being indeterminate or Of
doubtful mentality. According TO the
investigators, sc were illegitimate, 80
immoral. "a confirmed alcoholics, 8
epileptics, SO died in infancy and
eight kept houses of i'll fame. They
have so intermarried that there are a
total of 1146 charted of whom 262
are feeble minded
Kallikak family DR.. Myers explained
the Mendelian law of heredity which
holds that the presence of the domi-
nant parental characteristics in its off
spring is IN a ratio of about three to
one.
In the experiment in heredity in the
HALIFAX family it was found that
where bOth parents were feeble mind
ed all the offsprings were feeble
minded and where only one parent
was feeble minded about half of the
children were feeble minded.
1--WE have brought to our attention
in a striking way the dreadful conse-
Quence Of the mistake Of the soldier
Martin Kallikak" said DR.. Myers.
Instead Of it being Of little cOnse-
quence il is growing worse with each
generation and must continue to do
so until we attack conditions Of this
sort in a more intelligent way Be-
ginning with a feeble minded boy the
stream has widened until we now have
$50 members of this family in five
generations and we can only guess at
the number the coming five genera
tiOns will show. The family is alive
and growing, prevented from anihila-
ton by the occasional introduction of
good blood.
What can be done about it? How
may our Inheritance be improved?

WESTERN TRADE
Is IMPROVING
Fundamental Conditions Are Sound.
Speculation Being OF Small
Proportions.

NEW YORK. March 21.- Brad
streets report for Saturday Will say:
"Betterment in current distributive
trade at the west and excellent advices
as TO winter wheat sharply contrast
with a less satisfactory situation in
iron and steel. on the one hand the
economic situation is confronted by
the beneficial influences of nature.
while on the other ii is hampered by
the moods of legislative forces How
ever, it is obvious that fundamental
conditions are essentially sound, spec
ulation being OF negligible proper
tons, while the winter wheat crop was
never in better shape at this season.
Wool buying has been on a little
scale at Boston, high prices and re-
duced stocks of domestic grades lead
ing manufacturers 10 moderate their
eagernesS for supplies. London
closed slightly below the top prices of
the sale, especially on medium woods
Dealers We're cautious as prices were
regarded as high. Prices hold firm
at the recent advance. Domestic
woods are in small supply. Fleece
woods are in relatively better stock
than other domestic grades, but sales
are small, as manufacturers object 10
paying more.
Fine washed delane has sold dur
ing the week at IS cents, the highest
point touched on this clip. Com
modities such as eggs reflect season.
al conditions in sharp declines while
sugar is affected by large crops and
the workings of the tariff law. Cere-
ais are steady and wool, though quiet,
Is firm. Talk of idleness is not so
rife, and personal agitation on this
subject has waned.
Bonds are steady and the invest
ment demand for prime issues is still
moderately good. Foreign exchange
iS strong.
Business failures for the week end
ing March 10 were 200, comparing
with PA last week and 2S2 in the

liz in her hands. But the stain re-
manned the same. Then Della tried
warm water, sOaped and rubbed il
hard on the board.
ooh. but we must get il out. Here
let's try some soda" But the soda
was as Intellectual as the soap. Let's
"Boilin' won't do any good-thatu
only set it"
TRY il, any way persisted Helen.
Try that pillow case first, and see If
il comes out Of that
Della put on the boiler. and Helen
waited anxiously for the pillow case TO
boil-but il left the stain undimmed.
Then she tried milk, OXalic acid and
lemon and salt, but nothing had any
effect on that obstinate yellow stain.
What should she do? She could
not admit to Warren that she had
ruined his waistcOat. Not only would
he be furious. but he would always
throw IL up TO her as evidence of her
carelessness. There was but one thing
10 do, to get another waistcoat and
have it Iaundered SO that he would
never know. She NEW tins one had
been made TO order, and the name of
the maker was on it.
In less than an hour she was dress
ed and on her way down to the haber-
dasher's taking the stained waistcoat
with her. 1T was still damp but she
was too anxious TO even wait for it TO
dry.
1t was an exclusive shop just off
Fifth av. \ tall. mpressive-loOking
salesman came forward. Helen un-
wrapped her package and anxiously
inquired if the waistcoat could be du-
plicated.
Certainly. madam. I think we
still have that material in stock"
And how long will it take?"
About ten days
"Oh. can't have it sooner than
that?"
I'm afraid not We never promise
any Of cur orders under ten days"
And how much will it be?'
THAT waistcOat made TO order is
twelve dollars"
Helen had no idea ii would be over
five. Twelve dollars for a plain waist
coat! "Oh. was this plain pique one
so much as that"
1--WE never make any waistcoat
under twelve and most of them are
more" with the air of superiority
which such a clerk assumes when a
price is questioned.
Helen had no choice. She must
have the wai5tcOat regardless of cost,
so she left the order. giving particu-
lar instructions that it was TO be just
the same
From the damp stained waistcoat,
il was not difficult for the clerk TO
sense the situation. And he assured
her that it would be an exact dupli-
cate, and that after it was Numbered,
they could not be told.
