When Anna Metayard was a

had before him the task of preparing
a set of reports on the eastern coun-
ties of England. Although a sue

of writing, and he called to his as

was in this way that Anna Metayard
was given her first opportunity to
show her latest ability as a writer,
far outstripping him in the literary
undertaking.
Encouraged by this early success,

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
By DR.. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBER6.
A. b.. NJ. A, NJ. D. (John Hopkins.

Horedity Works Through Units of
Characteristics.
The laws of heredity are not in
fiuenced by acquired diseases or by
| legal enactments. Even Darwin's as
sumption that the offspring of two
parents are halfway between the
two Is not true.
Very few biologists believe this to-
day. Living things, true enough,
sometimes inherit from both sides,
but never wholly equally, and some
times wholly from one side. They are
never midway between their parents.
Heredity would, indeed. be as simple
as two times two make four, if that
were true.
The Mendel Theory.
The Bohemian monk, Gregory Men
del in 1866, discovered the most fun
damental law of inheritance. Because
of scientific ethics" this law was not
made public until 1900. Had 1t been
published in one or more widespread
periodicals Darwin's theory would be
different to day. Fine breeds of cattle,
horses, fowls, flowers and vegetables
would be available, and even such
diseases as feeble mindedness and
epilepsy would be under better con-
troll So much for medical ethics
Mendal found that In all creatures
there are characteristics which are
united and handed down as a unit in
toto or not at all to future genera
tions. Moreover, the offspring inherit
these or do not inherit them--they
dominate or reoede-in definite arith-
metic numbers.
Two kinds of peas, one with long
- oh
crossed have all long pods in the next
generation. If these long ones are
mated, the second generation after
that will have three long pods to one
short.
How Heredity Unites.
Short pods mated together will give
q pure race thereafter of short pods,
and the long ones thus mated will
give one race of all long pods and two
other races of offspring in each four
of which there will be three long ones
and one short one.
Similarly, as DR.. Raymond Pearl
has recently found, IL in flock of
barred Plymouth Rock chickens there
are any hens that lay many winter
eggs and these are mated, the next
generation of hens from this crossing
will have very few layers of winter
eggs, but the second generation will
have one In every four hens a large
winter egg layer and three poor ones.
This one will breed a race of large
winter egg layers. One of the others
will have all poor layers and the other
two mated will have one great egg
laying progenitor in each four, one
pure-raced parent of all poor layers,
and two with three In each four poor.
In other words, egg laying is a unit
character The size of pea pods is a
unit character. The color of human
eyes Is a unit character. The color of
a rats fur or a flowers blossom is
united In hAradIfY.

that the measure was too drastic in

There was another bill by Mr.. Pill

Spring has departed Oh, LET us follow,
Follow north with the homng swallow!
Is she now hid in primrose color
Only known to the happy lover,
Lies she in dell
Strewn with bluebell
And frail anemone down in the hollow?
Liacs' scent her secret is telling
Song of the nest from the thrush is upwelling
We thought her lost and ourselves forsaken,
But her fairy feet we have overtaken,
Kingcups of gold,
Fern fronds unrolled,
Under the hawthorn here is her dwelling
Love has departed, vain to follow,
Follow after with autumn swallow,
Fugitive love than bird is heeter
Never again we hope to meet her,
Far has she fled
To the realms of the dead
No more to be found on height in hollow

all debate and discussion as to the
 basis of action and beginning of
 the only useful. sensible discussion,
 which is: What is, under all circum-
 stances, the req sonable, sensible, ade-
 quate thing to do?
 Maj Gen. Leonard Wood, like Brig Gen. James H. Wilson, U. s. A., re- tired, thinks the most urgent need is great body of trained officers. Gen. eral Wood points out that an army of 1,250,000 volunteers would require 10000 officers, and that these officers should come largely from colleges maintaining military departments.
 General Wilson opposes the proposi- tion to increase the standing army, but he heartily recommends that Con gress establish three more military academies like that at West Point and an additional naval academy like that at Annapolis, so that 1000 young of ficers, thoroughly educated, would be available every year. These and many other ideas advanced by men of war experience will be considered and some of them will doubtless be adopted.

MEANS BIG SAVING

From the Charleston News and Courier
 The action of the Postal Telegraph com pany in cutting its leased wire rates has
 been followed by like reduction in
 rates on the part of the Western Union Telegraph company. We do not know just what is back of the apparent war
 fare between the two telegraph com panies, but as it is estimated that sev- eral hundred thousand miles of tele- graph wires are leased in this country for press uses and 'as the rate, which for 40 years has been SIP per mile for press associations and s10 per mile for individual newspapers per year. has now
 been cut in half at night. the saving to the newspapers ought 10 be tremen- dous. Perhaps the Western Union, which has had the bulk of this business, will be compensated by increased business through the encouragement thus afford
 ed to smaller newspapers to maintain leased wires. If the rate is maintained 1t will probably be only matter of time before most of the circuits of the Asso-
 ciated Press will employ two-wire ser vice. This may or may not prove good thing. As it is the average newspaper in the south for years past, has been spending more money and giving better service than its income warranted-as many of them have discovered, to their grief in the past 12 months.

That Sumerian Theory

According to Dr. Langdon, the Sum- erian tablet in the University of Penn rsylvania setting forth that Adam and Eve did not eat of the apple, but that Noah was the guilty man, and that he ate of the cassia fruit, is 5000 years old.
 The flood, according to the tablet, occurred about 35,000 B. C., which was about 432,000 years after crea- tion. Before the flood there was no storm, and all beasts were harmless. Dr. Langdon may possibly be able to bring some argument to substan- tiate the Sumerian theory, but on the face of it, it seems to be contrary to evidence produced by geologists and other scientists.
 Moreover, before getting excited over the new theory, the general pub lie will probably allow the learned doctor time to give his tablet "the once over" and subject it to the acid test of scientific investigation. The fact remains-and this is a "heap" more pertinent to everyday folks-that sin is in the world, that it is reaping harvest of sorrow and suffering, and that there is plenty to do to overcome it to keep everyone busy.
 Whether the blame for sin should be placed on Adam or on Noah is not so important right now, as how the lineal descendants of these ancients are to be brought to higher plane of life and morality.
 It will take more than one Sumerian tablet to jar the foundation of Chris tian thought, belief and action.
 Let the scientists go on boring over crumbling tablets--the harm result ing will not be so great as if they were inventing bombs and internal ma. chimes with which to maim and man. gle their fellow man.

"Englands declaration of her inten- ton to declare cotton contraband." said John w. Williams a well known fol- lower of military affairs, has occa- stoned little surprise in the south.

While the United States may contest the action from a legal point of view, there Is little likeli- hood that conditions will be changed The allies have reached the determina- ton that cotton must be kept out ot Germany and they are going to pro- ceed with this idea In view regardless of the protests of the disgruntled United States. Even those who hold that Eng land Is acting contrary to international law cannot fail to see the justice oi her contention that her recent ordei in council as far as cotton is con- cerned was ineffective"
