Three English civilians, who had

the Rhine when they were stopped
by German soldiers, who said they
ought to be ashamed of themselves
Tor singing such rubbish.

of them remarked. You go down
there and try to keep watch, and
then you won't sing so much about

soldier. Then why sing The

Many Good Qualities in
FIGHTERS Due to Mothers

Maj. Charles B. Davenport, direc-
tor of the institutes biological la
boratory at Cold Springs Harbor, L.
l., after study of the family his
tories of 80 officers to determine a
scientific basis for selecting men fit
ted for the tasks assigned to them,
makes some interesting observations,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The results show that such quail
ties as GOODNESS under fire, courage,
pluck and actual fighting capacity
descend on the maternal side. Pre-
v1ously, scientists had established
the same quality of maternal or
"sex-linked" inheritance in cases of
color blindness, night blindness,
haemophilia or excessive bleeding,
virulent badness and near-sighted-
ness. In regard to these traits, the
female, in the language of biology,
is the carrier. She does not gener-
ally manifest these qualities, which
lie hidden, to reappear in her sons.

)doubtless, stealing, whenever she
could, there probably came the ex-
preston of precocious canniness in
the first picture. The influence of
love and kindness with which she
has come in contact have brought
back the natural childish charm of
the "after-taking' picture.
Do not imagine that Amends case
is a rare one or even that every such
child can be taken to care and
shelter as soon as discovered. Too
often the relief worker must look
the other way.
A recent cable to the committee
says: The heroic men and women
who have strained every energy to
save lives have now the task of pick
ing out those who shall perish" 1t
is that they shall not perish that

CONGRESS PLANS
TO REST DURING
HOLIDAY SEASON
Many Members Already Have
Left Washington; Final
Votes on Taxes Slated
in Senate Today.

Washington, Dec. 22-Congress
plans tomorrow to begin its holiday
vacation by three-d day receses to con-
tinue until January 2. In the senate
however, this plan depends upon the
passage before adjournment tomor-
row night of the war revenue mea-
sure. Should this bill go over the
recess in the senate would be delay
ed.
Many members of both the senate
and house already have left for their
homes and neither house is expected
to have a quorum during the holi-
days. A few committees may meet,
but all important hearings and other
committee work already has been
postponed until next month.
The senate will convene at 10
o'clock tomorrow in an effort to
PASS the war revenue bill before ad-
journment. Leaders of both parties
believe there is slight doubt that
final vote will be reached as the
principal controversy-that over re-
tention of tax rates for 1920-was
settled yesterday. Awaiting action
tomorrow are the inheritance and
luxury tax sections and also the sub
stitute bill of Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin, who is expected to make
a vigorous address-his first in a
year-in its support.
In the house tomorrow passage is
planned of the War department bill
to validate about 5000 oral contracts
aegregating 81 ,675, 100000. This leg
islation is to meet decision of the
comptroller of the treasury that such
contracts were not valid and could
not legally be adjusted.
