IS MONEY DANGEROUS?

l Woods studied the histories of all the royal families in Europe with a view to discovering whether in these fami- l neS-choSen because so much lnfoTma- | tion about them can be found-ability
 has been hereditary or not. He also l sets out to discover whether these | families have tended to degenerate by reason of their luxurious lives, as they
 are popularity believed to do Here then, is real statistical study of the effect of inherited wealth on a great
 number of men and women-oyer 5000
 arc studied individually.
 Woods. who is a biologist first and historian only second, reaches the cm- piIatic conclusion that in royal fam flies. wealth and luxury have not tend ed to produce degeneration. He proves. to his own satisfaction, that when such families have shown decline in abll- ity or power, it has always been due to hereditary influences. Usually in breeding is not the cause, either. The cause usually is an unwise marriage. Some prince marries an obscure wo- man who is stupid, commonplace, or unhealthy The next generation shows the effect of the bad cross. Two or three such marriages, and the blood Of the royal family, Rearly always of ex- ce,lert quality to start with iS diluted with weaknesses which ultimately lead to it's downfall.
 Woods shows that some royal fam lilies, like that of Portugal, for example,
 have produced men of high capacity for as much as F generations without
 break. Then. due to the iniroduetion of inferior blood. this same line sn a few generations has literally gone to pieces.
 These conclusions of Woods seem to agree with those of the modern sclen- lists in general Modern science be- lieves that mans destiny Is largely determined by his natural endowment.
 This endowment is. largely inherited from immediate forebears. That is, the chances are that you will be of about the same capacity as your mother and 1 father. More rarely. you may re- semble a grandparent. Still more rarely, you may throw back to some ancient forebear, long forgotten. Most
 rarely of all, you may be that freak of nature, genius A man of remark able ability is occasionally born oi commonplace parents. But such. in stances are much more rare than Is
 generally believed.
 Whether you have money or not, IS really of little importance, according to the scientific point of view. If you have ability and strength. you will get the education you need without money
 and very likely without schools. Fur thermore. the strong man Is seldom ruined by money. It does not lead him into likeness because he is possessed of energies and curiosities which make idIeness uncomfortable to him. On the other hand, the strong character cares little for luxury and is more dismayed
 by the lack of wealth than he is de
 feated by the possession of it. It is the weakling who lets his money run away with him if he has any, and it is
 the weakling who is eaten up with
 envy of the rich if he lacks it. and
 spends his time signing for million
 dollars and dreaming of get-rich quick schemes.
 It's the man. not the money, that
 counts.

FISH MADE U. S. GREAT
 By E. o. Sawyer
 Edifnr Eiehirrr Geaze+fa

Observance of National Fish day or March 9 as a tribute to those who toil on net and line has an unusual signifi canoe for every American citizen, for it was upon the fisheries that the first commerce of the original 13 colonies was founded.
 For many years before and after tine landing of the Pilgrim fathers fish ing was the foremost industry of this new land.
 Due to many influences the fishery of this country no longer holds the i'm portance attached to it in the early days, nor does it receive the attention still accorded the fisheries in other countries
 The change came with the migration away from the Atlantic seaboard. Un- til that time the bank fishing fleets called not only the best boys of New England but boys from distant points

THE BOOKS THAT LIVE

Please realize that when new vol tune of MT. So-and Sos salacious stuff is tossed from the presses next spring it is seized upon by the merest fringe of our vast literate population. At the end of six months it's sales are dead as doornail: yet David Copperfield' is still selling in 20 or 50 different edi- tions and "A Tale of Two Cities in flo or more.
 An" says critic Jones, that isn't public taste; that's habit. Sets of Dick ems aren't books. they are furniture, library wall paper. certificates of cul- ture. Jones wouId be right if the chief sale of Dickens were by sets. but it is not. one of inc many low priced edi- tions. thA saaar before the war, sold, of David Copperfield.y 4,f00 copies; of Nicholas Nichleby, % 100, ''Pickwick Papers. 1000 ~TaiS Of Two Cities, 2.000: Oar Mutual Essend" HOO. and other individuai volumes of his works in almost negligible quantity. All this was despite the fact that every public library had tpcm.
 In the yearFof Dickens death q diff ferent editians of his works were on sale in America; 45. years later there were as many as 50 of certain volumes. Tn that same year before the war a copies in six months ard then went down-and out.
 The publishers of Tom Sawyer and "Huckleberry Finn a few weeks age manufactured 50.000 copies each of these two books, to carry them through the coming year. and these stories were first published more than 40 years ago !

Lake fisheries were developed and likewise those of southern California and the gulf coast.
 During the period of the inland de- velopment the sea lost it's lure. Amer ican youth neither went fishing, in the merchant marine. nor to a noticeable degree, in the navy.

The box had been thrown under the

Productive Guam.

Incident to his 1920 census, Uncle
Sam has found that our island pos
session, Guam, produces from it's 225
square miles, with its population of
1925 native, 1,140,924 pounds of
copra for export to the United States
and S51,6SO pounds to Japan.
The live stock on the island in
cludes 6,149 water buffalo, 4357
horses, 1,16o goats, 543 hogs and 70
cattle. Corn, sweet potatoes, taro,
yams, tobacco, cassava, rice, arrowroot
and sugar, are included among the
field crops. Coconuts, bananas, pine
apples, papaya, cacao, lines, mangoes,
grapefruit and even alligator pears
constitute the food-producing trees
and plants.
Whereas, there are 1862 males to
100 females in the United States, there
are 95.7 males to 100 females in
Guam. Some ALI per cent of the men
are Single.
The climate is said to be tropical,
but healthful and pleasant, remarks
the Portland Journal. The island of
Guam is almost neighbor, being only
about 5000 miles from our coast.

Water as a piuretlc.

A powerful diuretlc is water-its
action in this respect, drank by a
healthy man, being very marked, and
it appears impossible to explain its
limitation by mere increase in blood
pressure, whether local or general !;
it has the power of increasing tissue
change, and thus multiplying the prod
ucts as fast as they are formed-and
thus, by giving rise to increased ap-
petite, provides fresh nutriment for
the tissues, and acts as true tonic
In persons who are accustomed to
take too little water the products of
tissue waste may be formed faster
than they are removed, and, thus ae-
cumulating. may give rise to disease.
Many gouty people are accustomed to
take too little water, except in the
form of a small cup Of tea or coffee
daily; a large tumbler of water drank
every morning, and especially with
the addition Of some nitrate or car
Donate of potassium, win prevent
gouty paroxysIn.

TAUGHT USE OF PLoWsHARE
How Legendary Chinese Emperor u
Said to Have Encouraged Aari-
culture In That Country.

In Europe the most significant Of
the gifts Of the soil are wheat and
fax; in China they are silk and rice.
Old Chinese myths name Shen-nung
or Siennung the "divine laborer,"
legendary emperor who is said to have
reigned in the first half of the third
millennium before Christ, as the fa-
ther of agriculture. 1t was he who
first made wooden plowshare and
taught the people how to use 1t. Shen-
nung was one of the three emper0rs
whom legend reveres as founders of
the Chinese social system. 1t was
Shen-tsan, or Sien-tsan, the wife OF
Huang-ti, another of the three, who
taught the people the rearing Of silk
worms and the treatment of cocoons
and threads and the weaving of silken
garments, so that her subjects might
no longer suffer from "chapped and
frost-bitten skin"
The sanctuary of Shen-nung is still
standing, south of Pekin, r. Meyer
Riefstahl writes in Asia Magazine.
Here the last emperor of China used
to come every year to bring a sacrifice
to the presiding divinity and to open
a furrow in the soil with his own
hands. The ceremony is very ancient.
Even in the sixth century there was
an imperial field that formed sane
tuary fourteen Ii south of the capital.
There, in the first months of spring,
on day Of good augury, sacrifices of
steer, sheep and pig were made
to Shen-nung and to Hou-tsi. The en-
peror, clad in his state robes and the
ritual bonnet, entered the golden char
lot of state and performed thrice the
ritual of sacrifice. After this the cere-
mony of plowing took place.
To the north Of the city, in olden
times, Shen-tsan had an altar. Later
the shrine was transferred to the pre-
einct of the palace, where the en-
press presided over the rearing of
silkworms and the production of silk.
Old records mention the mulberry
grove of the empress and her pavilion
for the rearing of silkworms. Toward
the middle of spring, in ancient TIMES,
the chief of the court would sum-
mon the empress to the grounds north
of the city to begin the rearing of
sfllkworms. The ladies of the palace
and the wives of high Gignitaries aid
ed her in the task. After fasting and
sacrificing 70 Shen-tsan, the empress
and the concubines of the emperor
themselves gathered the mulberry
leaves. The silk obtained was used
for the sacrificial robe of the emperor

Aerial photography has entered the
real estate field. Now. If you wij to
buy suburban residence, a dPwn-
town property or country house, you
can go to a brokers' office and exam
inc, probably with a reading glass,
most interesting and detailed aerial
photograph of the neighborhood that
you have in mind. The aerial picture
very quickly brings the customer to
decision either to see the property or
to look elsewhere. 1t saves time and
the expense of long and often futile

TEACHER.

The world moves, and though It still
serves the cartoonist's turn to present
Teacher" In a light that is not at
all halo, teacher really doesn't an
swer to the old picture any more.
The unromantic truth is that lots of
teachers never did. We remember
some five senior high school girls in
a class of perhaps ten or twelve who
were all going to be Latin teachers.
A phenomenon like that calls for ex-
planat.on. And the explanation was
their Latin teacher. Those girls didn't
want to teach Latin; they wanted to
be like their Latin teacher. And she
she wasn't young, she wasn't-heav-
en- for give us for saying so-pretty,
and she didn't pack a bag of tricks,
says Milwaukee Journal. She had
something worth while, though, didn't
she? Call it character or personality
or what you will, those girls wanted
to be like her. And though none of
them ever turned out Latin teacher,
every one of them was better for that
teacher they had admired and loved.
1t is a mark to shoot at, isn't it7
