Psychopathic Hospital Statistics Show
Percentage Is So as Com

Chicago. Aug. More than SIS per
cent of the persons who go insane in
Chicago are men, according to the
July report Of the psychopathic hos

July 298 men and women were ad-
judged insane by the county court. OF
these 173 were men between the ages

The greater per cent Of insanity
among men is caused by dissipation,
according to the report. The insanity
Of a majority of the women is classed
as ania-depressive' which takes
the form of melancholis. The physi-

little to do with insanity. The opin-

report says.

of insanity, but the hospital experts

BURBANK IN PLEA
TO IMPROVE RACE
Plant Wizard Tells Race Betterment
Conference of Important Influence
OF Heredity.

san Francisco. Cal, Aug. Only by
/ constant selection of the best can any
| race be improved said Luther Burbank,
/ the plant specialist. in an address be
fore the second national conference on
race betterment His subject was
Evolution and Variation With the
Fundamental Purpose Of Sex
Environment and education. alone
cannot, he said. make appreciate pro-
gress in the improvement of the race
But with favorable surroundings and
/ the selection of the best types, the field
for improvement IS limitIess.
Mr. Burbank described the possibili-
ties in plant life Of fixing characters
which benefit the species through
natural selection, giving the new com
binatfons new ability to advance"
Abundant, well balanced nourish-
meut and thorough culture of plants or
animals" he said, will always pro
duce good results in holding any spec
les or variety up to its best hereditary
possibilities, beyond which it cannot
carry them, and lacking which, maxi
mum development can never be real
lied. But a sharp line must always be
drawn between the transient results,
temporarily attained through favor
able environment and the permanent
results of selection of the best individ-
IuaIs for continuing the race.
What would be the result if ap-
pie. plum. corn, melon or petunia seed
was unfortunately planted? Soon
worthless mongrels only, having no
character and no value for any pur-
pose.
only by constant selection of the
best can any race ever be improved. No
education, no environment Of any ma
ture can every make any appreciate
progress, even though these same
favorable surroundings may produce
through ages a definite but infinitely
slow Increment. which by constant
repetition becomes slowly available in
heredity, but by no means fixed, so
that reproduction true 10 the better
type can be depended upon.
1T is becoming increasingly neces-
sary to impress the fact that there are
TWO distinct lines in the improvement
of any race; one by favorable environ
meut which brings individuals up to
their best possibilities: the other 10000
times more important and effective
selection of the best individuals
through a series OF generations. By
this means and by this only, can any
race OF plants. animals or man be
permanently or radically improved.
When these two lines of action are
combined. all the best qualities Of any
type are brought forth and hxed-and
the field for Improvement is limitless. RI
