was culC1VateQ out OF Iuc ulsut shooo
and a sweet wholesome berry devei-
oped. II this can be done in the
vegetable world, why not In the ami
NAL world? This process of selection
is carried out in cattle and horses
and the law ought to be more care
| full in the human race.
Professor Adrian gave number OF
instances of the development OF fins
men and women from seemingly hope
less children, who came from hop
less lineage and from hopeless en-
vironment. To overcome inherltence
and environment takes the greatest
wisdom and years of time. ITO de-
velop the human plant properly,
the process begins generations back
of the child. We have the idea that
any sort of father or mother will do
for a child. If God didn't mercifully
kill of the defective, and Himself
make a sort of selection, the result
would be appalling in the propagation
of detectives. To me the most he'-
ious crime, and the sin unforgivab' 9
is to bring into the world a defective
child-a child defective because OF
the father CT the mother.
Can you think of anything worse
than to imprison an immortal soul in
a diseased body? No tainted man or
woman has right to pass on that in
trinity. The frs right of every child
lis to be well born.
To be Well Cared for.
1.-The second right OF every child Is
to be we'll cared for. Do you know
that under the stars and stripes in the
last yea 100000 babies died-every
ten seconds throughout the year q
baby died
Seventy per cent of these babies
died from the ignorance of those who
took care OF them or from neglect due
to that ignorance.
The third right that belongs to
every child is to good home, home
that he is not ashamed Of.
1.-THE fourth right that belongs to
every child is right to be educated
and right here is, believe. the soiu-
ton for all these problems, for COM
ing generations. We have experiment
ed in solving some of these problems
in the schools of Santa Barbara by IN
Producing courses OF study of a prac.
teal nature, to teach boys and girls
the things they win use in life We
teach them the principles of biology TO
make them understand that a child
ought to be well born. We teach them
how to take care Of children. The
first class in the care OF children was
made up Of fifteen boys and girl1.
Every one who could bring a baby
/ from their own family or a neighbour,
was asked to bring 1t, and the food to
/ feed 1t that morning. There wers
ten babies brought to school. You
sho1Ild have seen the food thew
brought, everything from rye bread
and pickles to bologna sausage. You
see how easy it was to teach the
first lesson on the feeding of children,
and the care OF milk and milk bottles.

SchM ind, alias Swoboda, at Shanghai

stated that Schwind was in his employ

PRESIDENT To TAKE UP
FISCAL PLAN LATER
Has Given No Specific Study to Half
and.Half Scheme, He
Says.

President Wilson said today that he
has not given any specific study to the
questions involved in the half-and-half
principle affecting the District of Co
lumbia, and that his information re-
garding District affairs SO far comes
from conferences he had on several
occasions with the District Commits
sioneFs and officials who called upon
him. He hoped. he said, that before the
whole matter Is finally placed before
Congress for disposition he would be
consulted, thus indicating no intention
to give special study to the subject
before next fall or winter.
President Keeps in Touch.
That the President keeps in touch
with District matters in a general way
goes without saying, but his few re-
marks today. in answer to questions,
applied to the fight over the half and
half proposition.
1t is understood that when the con-
gressional committee that is to report
to Congress upon the subject concludes
it's deliberations and makes recon-
mendations a copy of these will be
forwarded to the President or pre-
man of the committee 1t is also be-
lieved that the President will be great
ly influenced in his attitude by the
recomme nda tions of this committee, A
number of the members of which are
highly regarded by him. He will also
consult the District commissioners
and probably a few intimate friends
well Informed on District questions.
Appointment Undecided.
The President has not made any
progress on the selection Of a recorder
of deeds of the District of Columbia.
He said today that he had reached no
decision in his own mind whether he
would name a colored man or a white
citizen Of the District of Columbia and
that he did not know when he would
be ready to make an appointment
This authoritative statement from the
President confirms the informa ton
heretofore printed in The Star.

DARDANELLESP PLAN
IS KEPT A SECRET

LONDON, April Eft is assumed in
London that land fighting is in progress
in connection with the new attempt Of the
allies. to gain the Dardanelles and Con
stantinopie. but details are lacking
Nothing is known of the scope of these
operations beyond the official British an
nouncement that an army was being land
ed on Gallipoli peninsula.
Expected to Be Costly.
The Times today points out that Great
Britain now. with the attack on the
Dardanelies in progress. has seven cam
paigns on her hands, and that. after the
Flanders battle. the advance against the
Gefenses of the Dardanelles promises to
be the most costly in men and material,
especially. it declares, as blunders
made in the spring have deprived the
allies of all the advantages of ii surprise
and given the Turks ample time to
strengthen their defenses
The operations appear to have be-
gun successfully" says the Times
military correspondent. Nothing as
yet has been revealed as to where the
troops were landed. but it was prob
ably at the southwest Of the Gallipoli
peninsula. the reported landing at
Enos having been a feint. Neither is
anything known concerning the num-
ber of troops landed

advancing from Enos. Gen. Ian
Hamilton would be obliged to meet all
the Turkish armies and to incur other
disadvantages. but with troops posted
across the peninsula and his TANKS
covered and prepared by the fleet he
will be in a much stronger position, al
though the task to be accomplished is
far from easy.
