people of Rio dc Janeiro and of Brazil
are intensely proud of this piece OF
admirable enterprise, as they nave
right to be. 1t will cost them about
$4,000. 900 to do the job. 1t will be the
most notable engineering feat OF It's
kind on record. At the same time 1t
will constitute one of the most radical
measures of building the city beauti-

The removal Of this historic OBJ
struction to progress inevitably recalls
the Scriptural saying about the faith
that removes mountains. In a real
sense the removal of MORO de Cas-

faith in the stability of the institu-

True, Morro de CASTILLO is historic
spot of Brazil. On it the first Portu-
guese Governor built his residence and
his Notifications. Behind these forti-
fications the Portuguese pioneers-the
Pilgrim Fathers of Brazil--fought
manfully to repel French buccaneers
and repulsed them. Brazil honors its
heroes, some of whom sleep in the soil
of Moro de CASTILLO. 1t venerates its
past. But 1t regards it's future more.
Hence the ancient settlement must go.

it's life hampered and its progress
thwarted by the past.
Taken In all its aspects, this heroic
treatment of a municipal problem by
Brazil will appeal peculiarly to North
Americans, whether of the United
States or of Canada. 1t emphasizes
the kinship between English speaking
and Portuguese speaking Americans.

Too Many 'Runt' Girls
May Lower Race Height

Degrees are not, conferred upon chill
dren, except in rare instances-and
prodigies are few indeed--so we may
consider them about 20 years of age.
Some may have been eighteen. but
twenty is close enough to the average
age of the college graduate of to-
day to consider as a standard.
They represented many nationali-
ties. of descent at least, and few of
them were farmers daughters. The
first college girls came from the farm.
They. We're the offspring of sturdy
men and women. With their splendid
physical foundation it was easier to
build up a generation of we'll de-
veloped and we'll grown girls.
Then the newer settlers began to
send their girls to enjoy the benefits
of higher education and they did not
start with all the advantages of their
predecessors. They may have been
born of parents both Of whom were
employed in industries. Or their par
ents may have led a sedentary life
of another kind. Instead of picked
girls choosing an intellectual career
we now have girls of every type COM
peting for college honors.
Compare, for the purpose of follow
ing the argument, Vassar daisy
chain group, or a Smith College grad
uating class. or Wellesley or Bryn
Mawr class to-day or a decade ago
with group Of girls attending city
college. Do they measure up in actual
inches with. the average college girl
born and bred and educated in the
city? Recollection leads us to believe
they do not.
And to continue the comparison
study the high school girl. Does she
belong . to the statuesque or the
'runty" type? You have the impress
sion after looking over class after
class of these young diploma winners
that they do not reach the average
school girl height, and possibly they
fall short of it.
Also observe the girls you~see in
the street, in lunchrooms. in restau-
rants. at dances, in offices, wherever
enough of them are gathered to offer
a fairly we'll picked set. Is not the
average less than medium, isn't II
really short: Wouldn't you call the
majority "runty" whether you dared
apply the term frankly to them or
not. even if you only made a mental
note of it? Canvassing among avail

DETERMINATION OF SEX.
London Doctor Lectures o.
Modern Manifestatfon

THE heredity of sex was the sub
ject of a lecture recently de-
livered in London by DR.. w.
Bateson, M. A.. Fellow of the
Royal Society, to an audience made
up mostly Of teachers and phys clans.
THE point I want you to carry away
very clearly in your minds" said DR..
Bateson, in concluding his subject, 'is
that sex determination is a problem
that can be investigated. and that ac-
curate knowledge can be and has been
brought to bear upon 1t. In all prob
ability these determinations arc made
in the development of the germ cells,
and that. having been made in essen
tials. they are fixed
"In old days.. said the lecturer, "it
was accepted as fact that we could
not see any deeper into the mystery
Of sex, and that we could not show
now it came about that there were two
sexes. Only five years ago it was
thought that practically there was no
way of predetermining sex: but facts
were now being ascertained which
showed that sex could be determined
in certain moths and frogs by a proc
ess of kybridization. It had now been
established that by means of cross
breeding In moths we could alter the
proportion Of the sexes by interference
in the fertilization"
Several interesting examples Of the
results of cross breeding in moths and
birds were thrown upon the screen, one
showing that If the gold cockbird of
the Sebright species is bred with a
silver hen bird the hens will be gold
and the cockbirds silver.
DIR. Bateson referred in terms of
admiration to the work along this line
performed by Mandel in experiments
with plant life as long ago as 1865.
This scientists conclusions were buried
in forgotten periodical and did not
come to any real publicity until after
the death of Darwin.

Use of High Frequency

pain and produce results in conditions
in which other surgical and medical
measures have been less successful.
The greatest use of diathermy is the
relief of pain and arouAng a response
in diseased parts Of the human frame
to complete healing. 1t is also eff
cacious beyond belief in high blood
pressure. but that is another story
"Frlabby or weak muscles, from
which so many Americans suffer,
said DR.. Kovacs, "can now be stimu-

the latest developments for electrical

it gets the name 'sinusoidal wave II

strengthened without fear, for it is a
very pleasant treatment, and there is
no reason why men should complain
of being soft when electrical treat
ment properly applied will make new

been made happy in the past few
months by the restoration of their
children who were victims of infantile

SpIint Frame Has Taken
Place of Rigid Cast


Progressive surgeons have aban-
doned the old time idea of completely
inserting legs and arms and lowering
their vitality for many weeks by rig
idly applied splints and casts. The
modern surgeon applies a splint frame
or cast, which is removable at times
without endangering the good position
of fragments, so that the muscles
around the fracture can be mildly and
safely exercised by the sinusoidal cur
rent, so as to help and retard
atrophy.
81 am satisfied that the day of acute
pain has fled. The terrible agony OF
infiamed nerves. notably neuritis and
neuralgia. and even sciatica, will all be
lost in the soothing powers of dia-
thermy. No longer will pain relieving
drugs be needed or used indiscrimi-
nately, for drug use in pain has been
responsible for the creation of the
drug habit in many instances. Radiant
light and heat will keep the pain from
coming back.
II can cite numerous cases that are
of interest TO the medical profession"
said DR.. Kovacs. but one or two in
stances will interest HERALD readers
"An idea OF some of the painful
cases that even the surgeons them
selves admitted were so severe that
death itself would seem to be the only
welcome relief may be CLEANED from
one accident case where 4 lineman was
catapulted from the top of a tall pole
and had every bone in both feet and
ankles broken into small segments.
The only chance the man had to be
saved from losing both feet by ampu-
tation was reconstruction. a process
that was deemed hopeless by the med
ical staffs of other hospitals where the
man had been taken for treatment.
Both feet were encased In plaster
which prevented any local application
of a pain killer. The man was de-
lirious with agony when he was
brought as a last resort to the Re
construction Hospital. The plaster

slant relief and in two days the sur
geons were able to handle and ex-
anime the broken bones without cans
ing the patient the slightest distress.
Each bone was reset and put in place
and within six weeks the man was
walking about the ward without the
aid of crutches' This patient was
discharged in time to appear at the
church and witness the wedding of the
man who gave him back health and
strength in spite of the forebodings
of other surgeons who gave the man
up as hopeless and said death would
be the only relief.
Another case in the Reconstruc-
ton Hospital" said DR.. kovacs, us
that of the Irishman who was shot and
supposedly murdered in Central Park
West because he had betrayed secrets
OF the Irish Republican cause, as al
legged by former compatriots, who fol-
lowed him 10 this country. This man
was shot in the jaw. in the arm, in
the back and through the liver, tear
ing the latter virtually in two. When
rushed to the Reconstruction Hospital
the surgeons looked upon the man as
dead. There was no chance Of saw
ing his life. which was fast ebbing.
But electrical application was used in
lieu of the usual anesthetic, the torn
liver was reached by quick opera
ton and the hemorrhage stopped. the
lost blood being replaced by salt water.
Next day the broken jaw was set, the
bullets removed, and the man who was
believed to be dead and out Of the
way is almost we'll enough to appear
in court against his alleged assaii-
ants.
There is also a seal poacher in the
hospital who was captured in Spain
and brought back to this country with
a broken femur, the most painful or
all bone breaks. If not the most dan
