Big Facts in Simple Questions
HEREDITY TRAITS.
BY Rev. s. S. Began

! The power for good or evil tina,
resides in a little child is great
beyond all human calculation. A
child rightly trained may be a
worldwide blessing, with an in
Ifiuence reaching onward to eter-
nal years. But a neglected or
misdirected child may live to
blight and blast mankind, and
leave influences Of evil which
shall roll on in increasing volume
until they plunge into the gulf
of eternal perdition.
A remarkable instance was re-
lated by DIR. Harris, of New
York. at a public meeting of the
State Charities Aid Association.
In a small village in New York
state, some seventy years ago, a
young girl named Margaret was
sent adrift on the casual charity
of the inhabitants. She became
the mother of a long race of
criminals and paupers and her
progeny has cursed the county
ever since. The county records
show two hundred of her de-
scendants who have been crimi-
nails. In one single generation
of her unhappy line there were
twenty children. Of these, three
died in infancy and seventeen
survived to maturity. OF these
seventeen. nine served in the
state prison for high crimes an
aggregate term of fifty years,
while the others were frequent
inmates Of jails and penitentia-
ries and aims houses. OF thel
nine hundred descendants thru
six generations. from this un-
happy girl who was left on the |
street and abandoned in
her childhood, a great number
have been idiots. drunkards, inn
beetles. lunatics. paupers end
prostitutes, but two hundred of |
he more vigorous are on record
IS criminals. This neglected lit
lie child has thus cost the county
n the effects she has transmitted

New York,s Sanitary Districts.

New York has four square miles OF
sanitary districts with over $4,000
population per square mile. The New
York city 1920 census Committee, DR..
Walter Laidlow, executive secretary.
has issued the following statement
1.-THE permanent map for the taking
and tabulating of the population Of
New York on which the census Of 1920
was enumerated has 8. 427 sanitary dis
trfct areas Sixty-six Of these in 1910
whose acreage totaled 2,SG6 then had
population of 1898 ,657, an average Of
453 persons per acre. II the whole area
OF New York in 1910 had been popu-
lated as densely as these 1886 acres
the equivalent Of the whole population
Of the United States. and then some,
as In 1910, could have been packed
within the limits Of Greater New
York"
This number of persons per acre In
congested districts is now reduced to
302, the statement adds.

paupers, besides the untold dam
age she has inflicted on property

One of then striking illus
ltrations of heredity is given in
the following contrast of two
families and their large offspring:
One is that of the notorious and
worthless Max Jnx; born 1870.
From this man there have been
identified 1900 descendants, Of
whom 800 died in childhood. 300
went to the poorhouse, 44O were
viciously diseased, 400 physical
wrecks, fifty were notorious pros
titutes, seven were murderers,
sixty habitual thieves averaging
twelve years in prison. and 1870
were convicted of crime. Not
one descendant Of that family
ever contributed to the social
welfare and uplift. Their cost
to society actual and potential
has been one and a quarter mil
lion dollars.
Of the distinguished divine,
Jonathan Edwards. born 1903,
there have been identified 1894
descendants. Among these were
295 college graduates, twelve col
lege presidents, sixty-five college
professors, sixty physicians, 1901
clergymen and musicians, seven
ty-fve army and navy officers,
sixty noted authors, 100 lawyers,
thirty judges, eighty public Off
GERS, one vice president and three
United States Senators. Their
value to society has been inesti-
mable. |

An interesting sequel has occurred
to the IRE which recently Quilted All
Saints church, Pelham, near Canter-
bury says London Answers During
the examination of the walls with
q view to reconstruction there were
discovered beneath a layer Of plaster
paintings Of two conservation crosses
IN colors, finely preserved, probably OF
the Thirteenth century. 1t Is antici-
pated that from these it will be posi-
Bile to determine the approximate date
OF the conservation Of the church.
Arrangements have been made for
the careful removal Of all the plaster

Berlin Promises
Jazz Grand Opera
for Mary Garden
Plans for Magnum Opus Ten
tative, but Composer Is
Determined.

Irving Berlin says he is going to write
a jazz grand opera, and there is dis
tinct possibility that Miss Mary Garden.
impresaria and diva of the Chicago
Opera Company, may usher II into
hushed and waiting world. While the
plans for this magnum opus are still
tentative. Berlin said yesterday that he
is determined to go through with It, and
there is a prospect that next season the
energetic form of American syncopation,
for which the Rev. John Roach Straton
and others have lately been urging
quarantine &c a kind of dangerous fever,
may be elevated to the highest stage of
lyric art.
The original suggestion for such work
came from Mrs. Muriel Draper. a per-
sonal representative of Miss Garden. 1T
occurred TO me-" said Mrs. Draper yes
terday. that as work like The Barber
of Seville had been written and found
favor. there was. no reason why we
shouldn't have an American opera deal
ing with skyscrapers and bad whisky. l
talked over an opera in the modern
spirit with Mr.. Berlin. and he took to
the idea naturally. 1t seemed to me
there was no reason why such q spirit
shouldn't be Incorporated in a serious
work. Mr.. Berlin looked back to 1860
for setting, though l wanted to stay
right here in the present era.
Mind, 1 want 1t known that this was
done on my own authority. as l don't
want to have us all accused of aiming to
spend 100000 on Harlem Miss Garden
had no responsibility in the matter. but
l talked 1t over with her, and she showed
an interest in 1t. And / know I could
enlist her attention If that was what
was wanted"
Having learned this much, the reporter
turned excitedly to Berlin. who was at
first reluctant to speak on what might
be called the crowning achievement of
ragtime But he did acknowledge that
the project had been discussed with
him and that he was very seriously con-
templating raising synocopation to high
c.
"It ought properly to be called syn
copated grand OPERA" he said, "for
whenever people hear of jazz they think
of shaking shoulders. | want to do an
opera in that rhythm, for feel 1t is dis
.lseS American am convinced
that eventually the great American op
era will be written in that form, though
some persons may now be able to trace
vulgarity in it, Whether one opera COM
pany presents it or another. / intend to
do such work. even IL have to produce
it myself at the Music Box.
II am determined to do this as
serious composition, and as soon as my
more commercial undertakings are COM
pleted I mean to get at it, for Il will
take a lot of undivided time. 1t is
possible the scenes may be laid down
South during the civil war, where SEN
timent in America seems naturally to
turn. Whenever we write song about

about it. even If the subject Is in real
