the table from her, began to talk. | don't

to grab my hair. Holding her of with my

jaw. She squealed and l caught her on

hit her In the solarplexus. That punch
knocked her out"
Shortly after the ladies in this episode
had decided to make up and forget their
personal difficulties the club chalked an.
other thrill on the scoreboard. News cana
that Jack Dempsey himself was coming
up Garage Lane" Nobody doubted where
he was heading for. The ladies from the
farthest corner Of the nestle side to the
utmost fringe Of the bachelor ladies' sec
ton preened themselves and awaited the
champion.
A clatter on the stairs announced his
approach. His more than six.foot bulk
filed the door. He grinned like a cave
man, embarrassed and hesitating on tina
threshold, was pushed into the centre OF
the room by the usual stable OF husky
attendants that every modern knight Of
the ring feels called upon to drag around
with him.
A rush from all sides swept the taclturn
Jack into q chair between the two fac
tions. The next few minutes the champion
was treated to the customary feminine
sduistion Of embraces and kisses. A couple
stood back awaiting their turn to meet
Dempsey--Al siegel, sons writer, and his
wife, Bee Palmer.

the care Of their two children. And ever
since she has kept Harry on his toes con-

II was while sitting at the conjugal

rest, as she thought, too frequently on a

The night following the decision OF the

of pugilistic history was made at the club,

By Robert B. Vale

NR. HELEN DEAN KING, who has startled
other scientists with her quiet assurance
- in declaring that consanguineous mar
riages eugenicaly sound, is a very human
young woman who likes baseball and dime novels
and who doesn't care a rap what prudish folk
may say about her or her theories.
She has spent more than eight years investi-
eating the subject of inbreeding; studying cause
and effect through scores Of generations of ami
mails. When she arrived at the conclusion that
intermarriage between members of the same
family produce better race of humans, it
was not a hasty, half-baked decision. She is re-
garded at the University Of Pennsylvania as a
woman of unusual ability and she already has an
international standing.
The world has believed since Biblical days
that it is wrong for brother and sister, cousin
and cousin, uncle and niece to marry. In many
lands laws have been passed to prevent such
unions And now comes Miss Helen King to say

sight Of the fact that DR.. King
is one Of the few women IN
the world to hold a full pro-
fessorship in research work.
Nor does DR.. King take her
self too seriously. She has
plenty of time for social life
and for sports. She delights
in parties, knows how to tell
a good story, reads ire latest
novels, finds JOY in detective
tales, attends the movies,
knows more about baseball
than most men, and sometimes
goes fishing. She knows more
about rats than most biologists
because she takes a real in
terest in them. Some Of them
she calls by name. She knows
all about their great-great-
great-grandfathers.
And, after all, there isn't
much difference between .

How Inbreeding Works Out

DR.. King has bred rats down through genera
tons that might correspond with 1900 years for
the human race, and she has found that inbreed-
ing did not show any injurious results. Here
her views on the subject:
'Inbreedng invariably brings 10 light the
latent characters that were hidden by outbreed-
ing; it cannot from its very nature introduce any
new characters into the stock Random matings
in inbred stock will not suppress the undesir-
able traits, but if only the superior individuals
are permitted to breed, the unwanted traits in
the stock gradually be eliminated, if linkage
does not exist, and they will not reappear unless
through mutation, because the germplasm of the
stock no longer will contain the genetic factors
on which those traits depend
"Inbreeding with selection thus becomes
powerful agent to purify stock to bring about
concentration Of desirable traits and TO eliminate
serious defects It is through inbreeding com
bined with skilful selection that the most cele-
brated breeds Of animals have been evolved
Man Is Subject to the same laws Of heredity
as the rest Of the organic world Not only feeble
mindedness, epilepsy and insanity but also gen
eral mental efficiency and marked ability in
music in art and IN literature undoubtedly are
transmitted from generation % generation. &C
eording to the same Mendelian laws that govern
the inheritance Of the color OF hair and eyes
History shows Us that the prejudice against
consanguineous marriages, which has persisted
from the beginning Of the Christian era, did not
exist among the early nations and that such mar
rages were common for centuries among the
Greeks Phoencians, Jews, Peruvisns and Egyp-
tians. One Of the longest Of known human pedi-
grees is that OF the royal Ptolemies Of Egypt
noted for its close inbreeding; brother and sister
marriages being very frequent. There is no
evidence that consanguineous marriages were in
furious 20 any Of those nations. The decline OF
the Greeks and Egyptians came when they ceased
10 be an exclusive people and the vigor Of the
race was =a00e3 h- vices and Injuries introduced

DR.. King is not arbitrary. She has, is the
way with true scientists placed the results Of her
experiments before the thinking world and she
is quite ready to accept the deductions of those
who can prove that she is mistaken. For the
present she stands on this declaration:
When the time comes that marriage is based
not only on the physical fitness Of the individuals
but also their recorded pedigree for genera
tons, and is absolutely forbidden to the unfit,
the surest means of improving the will be
through consanguineous marriages in families in
which the members show exceptional mental and
physical endowment in ways that are Of value 20
themselves and to the community at large"
1t this bold summary that created the
sensation among the theoogians, the doctors and
the law-givers, not TO speak Of the common vari-
ETY. Of man and woman who viewed inbreeding as
something fearful and awful Biologists were
intensely interested From all parts of the world
came requests for her views and record of her
experiments. Skeptical and prejudiced persons
cried "bosh," not knowing that Miss King had
by her great ability, unusual fund Of knowledge
and keen analytical mind, made a place for her
self. She is graduate of Vassar For a few
years she had charge Of the research work at
Bryn Mawr. 1t there that she attracted the
attention Of the authorities Of the University Of
Pennsylvania and was induced to join the faculty

Thirty Generations of Rats

She began her experiments with four rats.
Today she has a colony numbered by the tens Of
thousands. Each generation is pedigreed. There
Is record of the physical development and, in
far is possible, record of the brain quality.
There is one colony of more than hundred
rats, each one showing defective eye Some
have small eyes, some have one large and one
small eye. In this one regard they are all defec-
tive. The reason is that they have been bred
from mother with defective eyes.
There are rats in the King laboratory with
verified pedigrees going back 10 the thrtieth gen
Grafton. All of the traits of the families have
been followed and charted Il has been fonc
tradition among breeders Of animals that inter
breeding will produce runts. This Is rot true
DR.. King has developed through interbreeding
the largest rat known. It was given ne name

breeding Of brother and sister. He was nearly
twice the size of the average white rat OF
course. It is true that if run-s arc h~e5 wi.a

.. FNBREEDING WITH SELECTION" Is the
neW theory Of eUgeHics which DR.. Helen
Dean King Of Philadelphia has offered to
some10hat startled 1oorid. If you 10ould produce
a rigorous race" she says i7l effect marry your
sister, your brother or your cousin. By doing
this you consolidate and perpetuGte the virtues Of
your line. Be sure, ho10eUer, that you PreUent
detectives from marrying at ALL"
Dr.. King supports her argument NTH scien-
ttfc analogy. For years she has conducted
perimeHts lcith rats. She has carried the process
Of close inbreeding doi0n through inuunerably
successive generations. After reaching a point
analogous to 1900 gears of human life she has
produced rat much bigger and much sounder
than any of his forebeors This rat she savs. Is
the result Of successive iHb~eeding of brother
and sister.
