"sTlFF FINGERS" INHERITED
Boston Doctor Finds Family Where
Maiformation Has Run for
Many Years.

Boston.-In the recent proceedings
Of the National Academy of Sciences
Doctor Gushing of the Harvard Medi
cal school and the Peter Bent Brigham
hospital, Boston, announced to the
academy some results he has found
in studying the heredity OF stiff iin-
gers" type of malformation of tns
hands or feet.
He has studied the history of 3
family which migrated from Scotland
to Virginia in 1900 and has found that
stiff fingers" are hereditary with the
regularity which is expected in GER
tain traits.
OF the more than three hundred dc.
scendants of the Scotch immigran
about 20 per cent had stiff fingers.
In families in which neither parent
YVES affected the children were not
affected. In families in which one par.
ent, either mother or father, was af-
fected, about half of the children were
affected with the malformation.

The other morning when he opened

who had been picked up during the

ried across the floor.
The marshal started after them with
a broom when the hobo reused up and
pleaded clemency for the two unwel-
come visitors. The rats were pets of

from city to city in his pockets. When
the hobo left town he carried his pet

NAVAL BUDGET
IS DEFENDED
Chairman Padgett Says $780,.
100000 Is Sufficient for
One Session.

The problems with which the United
States will be confronted at the close
of the war and the steps in the way Of
naval preparedness proposed to meet
them furnished the general topic of dis
cussion in the opening debate on the
House yesterday.
Republican members emphasized the
necessity for a strong navy. pointing to
the possibility of grave international COM
plications in the relations OF the United
States with European nations growing
out of the struggle for commercial de-
velopment the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine and the solution of the
Mexican problem.
The naval bill. including the building
program, was defended by Representative
Padgett, chairman of the House Naval
Affairs Committee. who outlined the
policy followed by the committee and re-
piled to the attacks of the Republican
members who demand more ships.
Mr.. Padgett gave as one reason why
the building program had been limited
to $780, 10000 that it was a sufficient
amount to be provided at one session OF
Congress. In response to the questions
Of Democrats who wished to know IT,
in view of the abandonment of the ad-
ministratiOns five-year program, the
naval bill met with the approval OF the
President and Secretary Of the Navy,
Chairman Padgett gave the impression
that both were satisfied with the bill
He said that he had not discussed
the subject with the President, but added
The Navy Department Is tickled to
death over the bill. I have a letter from
Secretary Daniels complimentlng the COM
mittee on its magnificent work"
Calls Amount Sufficient.
AS to the general policy which guided
the deliberations of the majority mem.
bers Of the committee, Mr.. Padgett said
Il want to submit to this House the
proposition that $50, 900 900 for the in.
crease of the navy. at one session ot

aggregate TO be devoted to the building

million dollars. nearly a quarter of a
