RAPs THE BABY CONTESTS,
Calls Them Superficial and Undemo-
cratic

Baby contests and eugenics were ar
raigned by Prof. william A. McKeever
Of Kansas university
"The search for the perfect baby,
which has been carried on Of late
through the medium Of the so-called
baby contests, is superficial, unscien~
tific and undemocratic," Prof. Nc
Kee'yer said. ct is superficial be-
cause It places too much emphasis
upon mere eXternals and draws at
tention away from the practical and
serviceable aspects Of infant life. 1t
Is unScientific. because the perfect
baby sought does not exist in more
than one case in every five hundred.
And by no carefulness Of treatment or
breeding can such an ideal child be
made to exist with a greater degree Of
frequency. 1t is undemocrauc, be-
cause It gives aid and succor to the
best and the least needy while the
great mass OF little ones, possessing
the ordinary physical variations, are
snubbed and pushed aside. Yet more
than three-fourths of the rejected ones
stand Just as good a chance of making
sound and efficient adults as does the
prize winner.
"On account Of natures great law
of variation, practically all Of us are
born short I'm some respect. There Is
a weak spot or yellow streak In
nearly all the people who amount to
anything. If these deficiencies are
physical, we try to cover them with
clothes. II they are moral weak
nesses, perhaps they have been
bridged over with an extra amount Of
rigorous training during childhood. II
they are intellectual defects, we try
to disguise them by keeping off the
subject about which we are ignorant"

The Toll of Tong War Is
Again UnevenIy
Balanced.
CHINATOWN sMoLDERs
Two Must Pay the Toll for
Those Legally
Executed.
by CARLTON TEN EYCK.
CWrltten for the United Pressl

written for the United Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-There are
two men in New Yorks Chinatown
who are marked for death. Who
they are is not known. who their
murderers will be IS not known.
When they will be killed is not
known. But they are marked for
death Just as surely as the sun will
rise tomorrow. IL may come tOmor-
row 1t may come next week, or 1t
may come next summer-no one
knows. Inspector Wakefield Of the
police department wishes he did. But
he can only wait.
Ever since the electrocution OF
Eng Hing and Lee Dock, two Hip
Sing hatchet men, at Sing Sing sew
cral weeks ago, another tong war has
heen smolderng in Chinatown. And
II will continue to smolder until it
breaks forth In the flame that will
mean death to two members Of the
on Leongs, IL is the law Of China
town, and as irrevocable as the law
OF nature
Eng Hing and Lee Dock had evened
up tho score between the Hip Sings
and the on Leongs. They killed Leo
Kay and On Leong, almost two years
ago. They had been in prison ever
since. While they lived the score was
evened. When they died it became
uneven again. 1t must be balanced.
The smoldering almost broke out
at the funeral OF two men. 1t was
ore Of the most gorgeous Chinatown
has ever seen. They were heroes in
the eyes of their brethren, martyrs
not murderers they stood i'm the eyes
Of white men. Inspector Wakefield
knows Chinatown Of old. lie was
personally in charge OF the funeral
and hundred OF his men were
scattered throughout the narrow
streets. He was taking no chances.
Lee Kung, the venerable priest OF
the Chinese Temple, had on his most
gorgeous robes. They gathered with
bright silken threads and the great
dragons. He was going TO send two
OF Chinatown's heroes to their God
In state
The aged priest stood between the
two dead men in the dim Pickering
light of the chapel. In the mouth OF
each was a coin which was to pay the
GriZzled Boatkeeper for their passage
over the River OF Death. ON the
breast of each was a tightly corked
bottle. In each bottle was a slip OF
paper on which was written the
mans name. If the boatman should
become careless on the journey and
allow his passengers to slip over
beard, then the bottles would wash
ashore and their friends would know.
Lee Kung began to address the two
men who were going on the long
journey He told them of the mys-
teries of the life that was to he theirs.
Around him huddled the comrades OF
the men
