There is a prologue to The Escape"
which contains the eugenc history
of life from it's earliest stages in
the form of microscopic representa-
ton of the growth and breeding of
various forms of life. In this pro-
logue reel is indicated the care taken
in breeding horses, dogs. cats, pigs
and various animals. Then in con-
trast is shown the utter careless
ness, the absolute disregard. with
which human beings are permitted to
marry without any preparation for
their sacred and responsible duties of
parentage. Only physical attraction
and ability to support are the ques-
tions shown to be involved under
present conditions. In the opening
of the story, Jennie Joyce and her
mother are seen in their home Jennie
is a consumptive and her coughing
seriously interrupts her work. Larry

sitser. seems apparently unframed
physically by her terrible parentage
