of his Scotch blue eyes, and defed any
one to say he couldn't make those three
wishes come true.
He didn't have to convince the advisor
OF the possibility Of it, because he had
seen some of those boys who had come
home wounded put up fight for sue

either to have much discussion RS to
what this big Scotchman wanted to do
because that farm stood out pretty
clearly as the foundation for those other
hopes. After little talk arrangements
were made for him to take good course
in general farming, and because it is
always wise to be a specialist in these
days, he was going to put great stress
on animal husbandry

Almost Daily There Are New Discoveries

London, July 10, Correspondence of

daily. Some connect this with the psy
chology of war One of the youthful
maryels is Pamela Bianco, thirteen
year-old girl artist, whose drawings
were given place of honor in an ex-
hibition at one Of the principal London
galleries. Critics dealt with them quite
seriously, and said that the work was
suggestive OF Botticelli and some OF the
other old masters. Pamela is an Italian
girl who was born in England and never
had taken any drawing lessons.

Health Of Negro Troops.

The negro is constitutionally better
psychological machine than the white
man. This is the conclusion drawn by
experts from the military examinations
and experiences of the past few years as
reported in the journal of the American
Medical association Chicago, May III.
Students Of eugenics, he says, point out
that certain races have uneonsciously
varied in their choices of partners in such
way as to bring about differing condi
tons, with respect to resistance to dis
ease, to mental capacity, and to moral
quality. OF these the resistance to dis
ease is susceptible of most accurate es-
timation because it can be considered on
the basis of statistical information. He
goes on
"A peculiarly valuable instance is afford
ed by the comparison of white men and
negroes in the United States army. The
numbers are sufficiently large TO give
some semblance of validity to the deduc-
tions which they permit The white and
eoIored troops live under equally
good sanitary conditions and are exam
med with equal diagnostic skill. A study
of the sort indicated has recently been
reported by Lieut. Col. Love and Maj.
Davenport who have undertaken an
analysis of more than half a million
admissions TO sick report in our army,
including more than $4,000 for the col.
ored troops For many maladies the
morbiditv rate is the same in the two
races. The army officers have, however,
ascertained from the statistics that the
colored troops are relatively less resist
ant to diseases of the lungs and pleura
az well as to certain general diseases.
like tuberculosis and smallpox; they are
also much more frequently infected with
venereal diseases and suffer widespread
complications of these diseases.
Love and Davenport point out, on the
other hand, that in general the skin
not only on the surface of the body, but
also that which is infolded to form the
lining of the mouth and nasopharynx, is
much more resistant to o-organisms
in negroes than in white men, The white
skin seems to be relatively a degenerate
skin in this respect. Furthermore, the
nervous systems Of the uninfected negroes
snow fewer cases of instability" than
those of white men. Thus there is far
less reurastheiia, there are fewer in
stances of psychopathic states. and there
is only half as much alcoholism in col
ored as in white troops Nutritional dis
orders are also less common among
the negroes As Love and Davenport de!
scribe the uninfected negro, he seems
to have more stable nerves has better
eyes, and metabolizes better. Thus, in
many respects, the uninfected colored
troops show themselves to be constiti
tionally better physiological machin

These figures show Grimm seed better
