IS GREAT LEVELER
Nature Won't Let GeniuSeS Breed
in Straight Line.
Heredity Doesn't Amount to Much II
One Carries 1t Back Through
Several Generations.

"a man tackled me for a job the
other day." writes "Sid" in the Ameri-
can Magazine. AFTER enumerating his
various accomplishments he wound up
with a final claim that was intended
to impress me with his importance
once and for all. He said that he was
a direct descendant of Bishop Ump-te-
ump-the most learned man of his
time in England. l asked what time
that was, and he said that it was
about 400 years ago. told him that
allowing 25 years for each genera
tion-he must be the sixteenth de-
scendant. No, not the sixteenth he
said. but the fifteenth All right 1
said, call it the fifteenth. Now let's
take a sheet of paper and see what
your credentials really are. Let's see
you had one father and one mother,
two grandfathers and two grandmoth-
ers, four at-grandgrandfather and
four eat-grandmothers, eight great
great-grandfathers and eight great
andmothers-and so on
Carrying the multiplication back to
the fifteenth preceding generation
showed that ut the time the bishop
lived, my friend, the applicant, had ex-
actly 32,76S ancestors. In other words,
the bishop was only one of the 80, 76S
human beings who were his forbears
at that time.
"'You Lave mentioned the bishop,
but what about the other 32,767? I
asked. 1T seems to me that I ought
to hear something about them if I
am to judge you by the good blood
which you say is in you. The bishop
was all right. You are lucky to have
as much of him in you as you have.
But the bishops stock has been con-
siderably watered. I don't believe he
would recognize you. What about the
rest?
''That is the trouble with this heredi-
ty game-if you carry it back very far.
Old Mother Nature is wonderful
leveler She won't let geniuses or
boneheads breed in a straight line. To
the weak She frequently gives child
of incredible talent-to keep the neigh
bors from getting abusive. To the
brilliant and favored of the earth she
often presents choice piece Of ivory
in the shape of dull son. Apparent
ly the idea is to carry the race for
ward together and not to play Favor
ties.
another feature Of the scheme is
that it keeps us all interested. Sur
prises abound on all sides. There is
no telling where the next giant is
coming from"

Uioht a Fire Without Matches.

How to light fire without matches
is an important part Of the training
given to United States Marines at
Port Royal, S. G. The primitive flint
and steel, used long ago by our fore
fathers, and the old wooden fric-
ton" method borrowed from the In
dams have been revived, so that the
sea soldiers may dispense with
matches when dampness renders them
useless.
United States Marines in the tropics
can start q fire almost instantly by
using a hollow piece of bamboo. This
is done by Sitting the. bamboo, stuff
ing it with dry moss, and drawing a
stick to and fro across it as violinist
uses his bow. These resourceful
worldwide soldiers are expected to
find substitute for the useful bam-
boo in France.

COURTS CONvENE:
CUT OUT TOYS.

The glad Christmas time will soon
be here and we will then all want to
give to the little ones, especially,
things that will make their hearts
glad The usual custom is to buy them
loads of toys, sweetmeats and fruits.
This year there should be a great
change in that respect.
Buying toys for children is one of
the most wasteful practices that 10 IN
dulged IN by the American people
around Holiday season. The average
child enjoys the multitude of toys
from few hours to few days. At
ter that they become useless and are
slowed away IN the garrett with small
wagon load OF similar stuff that has
accumulated during the years.
While the Chronicle has no purpose
to injure the business of any merchant,
we hope our people will spend almost
nothing for toys and that multitude of
stuff that brings short pleasure and
after that is dead waste. You know
what it is and it is needless for us to
mention it in detail.
One of the best ways to cut out the
waste of toy purchases will be to first
buy the children plenty of good, warm
clothing and a reasonable supply of
goodies The deeper you go into cloth
ing the wiser your expenditures will be
and the less you will be inclined to
waste on toys.
Even If this should prove to be
toyless Christmas that would not
need to mean joyless Christmas.
Instead of wasting money for toys
buy clothing and give every cent you
can p ssibly spare to the Red Cross
there is no more humane or wise way in
which to spend money than to give to
this institution that is carrying COM
fort and relieving pain of the wounded
of all nations in the dreadful war now
in progress.
Cut out the toys and spend your
money more wisely and humanely.
Merchants can do large part by
failing to display before the eyes OF the
children those toys that are of little
or no real value and the children will
not then tease their parents to buy
them Not many parents can long
withstand the pleadlngs of child at
Christmas time.

SAVE MAN POWER.

1t the South would arrange this WIN
ter to make better use of Its man
power, the labor shortage would not
be felt, for there would not be any
shortage.
The efficiency of Southern labor
could be increased from ten to one
hundred per cent, depending upon the
section and the farm under consldera
tion.
Now Is the time to plan tor that.
This winter eveners should be made so
that three and four horses can be
hitched to the pillow and harrow.
, On many farms the change can be
made from a one-horse pillow to two
horse pillow, while on others the change
should be from two horse pillow to a
four horse pillow that turns two fur
rows and doubles the work that one
man will do.
Three or four horses should be put to
the disc and a section harrow large

Sjberia's Resources UnrivaIed.

Siberia is believed to be destined
one day to become the richest country
in the world, for it has a natural
wealth so diversified and as yet almost
untouched, that 1t has no rival in
the old world. Before the war ST.
IBERIA was producing from 100000 to
100000 tons of -four a year. AS a
grazing country it has no limits, and
1t exports large quantities Of leather,
tallow and butter. Its forests are al
most inexhaustible. and it supplies
furs to all the world. It's mineral
wealth can only be guessed at, for
the greater part of the country has
never been prospected. But there are
several enormous deposits of oil.

THE DIFFERENCE.

From the avalanche of bitter crltl
cism that is now being directed against
Premier David Lloyd George in Great
Britain, we assume that there has
been no especial attempt there to es-
tablIsh law OF lese majestic as we
have had 1t attempted in this country.
To criticlse the mistakes of the gov
the government in both England ana
in France has been the practice from
the wars beginning, and experience
has proved that such criticism is really
constructive. In England especially
it has forced inlompetents out of Office
and made way for men of capacity,
vision and resource.
In the United States, however,
weaklIngs have hidden behind the plea
that it is disloyal to find fault in times
of war, and as consequence the cause
of the country has suffered tremen-
dously. Just now, when the nations
strongest and best men are needed IN

A NEW BUSINESS ERA.

The Food Administration Bill was
generally spoken of at the time of it's
passage as a revolutionary measure
1t was radical departure from our
traditional ideas and methods.
Just how revolutionary it was. how
ever, We are only beginning to realize.
Its passage ended the old days of un.
restricted and unregulated methods of
doing business by the individual or the
corporation.
Never again will we go back to the
idea that every man has right to con-
duct his business just as he pleases and
to make just as much profit as he can
by any method he can.
Hereafter 1t is going to be demand
ed of great business enterprlses-an
ultimately of small ones that they
conduct their affairs with due regard
to the public welfare and without need
less waste of the nations energy or
resources.
Tn Is does not mean that there IS
any hint of hostility to big business
enterprises IN the administration of the
food control. 1t means that unfair,
uneconomlcal and wasteful methods of
conducting the cOuntry's business are
being looked into and corrected. .
Some of the things the Food Admin.
Istratlon is trying to do just now are:
70 organize fruit and vegetab lie
growers into cooperative marketing
associations; to regulate commission
houses and other selling agencies; to
develop and bring into use the best
types OF refrigerator cars to facili-
tate the marketing of food products
as near place of production as possible
and AVOID unnecessary transportation
to reeulate the shipments of live stock
to the great packing centers so as to
MAINTAIN steady supply and avoid
gluts of the market; to secure the full
loading of cars whenever possible.
Ali these things are not only TO the
interest of the food producers of the
country, but to the interest of the food
consumers as well. They all make tor
national prosperity and national eff
cheney. They are being urged now as
war measures, but we may be certain
that they will not be dropped after
the war. 1T netional strenth and eff
cheney are things to be considered in
time of war they should also be consi
Gered in times of peace. Southern
AgrIcGlturist.
Furthermore, it means the passing
of the custom of "Jewing' the merch-
ant or refusing to buy from him be-
cause he will not give something
of. e"
it simply means that practically
every merchant will fix a reasonable
price on his goods and then the Gus
toner will have to choose between TAX
ing them at that price and leaving
them. The custom of " Jew ing" |
merchant is just as Objectionable and
as hostile to right business me thod as
that of fixing an excessive price.

der the impression that The Examiner
was a good sport, but to our sorrow
we discover that it is not only
wilmer. but will stoop to misrepre-
sentation in an effort to make its
readers believe it had been unfairly
treated. The facts are, there was no
hocus procus, no joker. no stuffed
deck, no sleight Of hand performance.
