With the power Of curing headaches and

Of hands, and to have other magical

Among the later discoveries In
eugenics was that the younger chill

more Of their fathers intelligence than
did the older children; or. as sometimes
happened. that the children OF q

with intelligence. The reason for this
according to eugenic theories-is that
talented men or women. like many
others, usually marry when fairly
young II they marry at all. The older
children Of such talented man have
therefore the tendency to Inherit only
what mental qualities he may have de-

REMINDER OF MIDDLE AGES
1nelish Clergyman Likely Will Have
(, 70 Stand Trial on the Charge 49,
Of Heresy.

| Charges Of heresy-with the pOssi-
bility that England will have an &C.
fiesiastical triak such as 1t has not
known since the Middle ages-have
been fled against the Rev. II. d. A.
Major, principal OF Ripon hall. q theo-
logical institute In Oxford, by the Rev.
C. q. Douglas. Further action rests
with the bishop OF Oxford, with whom
the charges have been placed.
The action grew out of an article
By the Rev, Mr.. Major. In which hs
raid that the resurrection Of Christ
was spiritual but not q physical
happening. The Rev. Mr.. Douglas
charges him with publishing doctrine
contrary to the teachings Of creeds
and Of holy scripture" and also "of
importing into the Christian religion
the teachings Of the eastern mystic,
Buddha."
! The Rev. Mr.. Major holds no ben
snce. 80 the case can not, be tried
through the bishops court. The pro-
cedure which must be followed is the
cid procedure by inQuisition." Under
this the bishop having received the
Information appoints IAN inquisition

The Rev. Mr.. Major, since the filing
Of the charges, has announced he will
defend his position.

FALc0NRY AN ANCIENT SPORT
Amusement, practiced In East, Can Be
Traced to Period That AntedateS
Era Of Christianity.

Falconry, the art Of training fall
cons and hawks to the chase. has been
traced back to a period before the
Christian era. 1t was practiced in the
East and also in Europe long before It's
introduction into England. The English
kings used to amuse themselves with
this sport, which was for a long time
the leading amusement, such as base
ball is In America today.
Faiconers use two kinds of birds
the long-winged, dark-eyed falcons and
the short-winged, yellow-eyed hawks
The former take their prey by rising
above 1t in the air and sw0oping at II
from a considerable height and strik-
ing 1t to the ground; the latter pur-
sue In a straight line, and overtaking
the object Of the chase by superior
speed, clutch 1t and bring 1t down.
The larger falcons are sent after
winged prey Of all kinds, crows. mag
pies, rocks, herons and wild fowl. The
smaller falcons. such as the merlin
and hobby, are flown at larks; while

Heads asked Up"

The size of a mans Uranium has
nothing to do with the size of his head.
Truly big-headed men are usually SO
modest you have to push them into
their honOrs.
Often big bones are bestowed by a
plying providence to compensate for
the lack of gray matter their bigness
would suggest.
Napoleon was q small man with q
b,illet-shaped head. He was dictator
isl and imperative. But then you can
Forgive such a fellow, when he has
the goods. It's the would-be's that try
men's souls.
Many of the nations greatest men
gave very ordinary-sized heads when
measured by their hat bands. In fact,
they offer no suggestion Of the big
uead when viewed from any angle

BELTS n. G.; MAN
CAN'T HANG HIMSELF

''Doggone these cheap belts. You
can't buy anything you can depend
on any more"
John Darlak. lis. 154th place, West
Hammond. thus soliloquized late lass
station as he ruefully scanned his
old belt which had broken when he
attempted to hang himself in his cell.
John was pretty respondent. Moon
shine had dragged his spirits to low
ebb. He wanted to kick off for two
reasons First to escape the horri-
BILE headache and the dog-hght SEN
sations in his stomach and second
to get away fro mhis wife who had
caused his arrest.
The Darlaks broke for the 'steenth
time Tuesday evening. John says
he went to East Hammond and there
bought moonshine. He came home
late and got one bunch of clothing.
The next day he came for more. Al
ter packing them in a suit case and
going into the front yard, he
changed his mind. 1t would be more
fun to burn them. So he piled the
duds on the front porch and tried
to apply a match. He was too much
stewed to be able to strike a match.
They kept breaking. Then Officer
Joe Ulandowski came and called a
halt
Late last night Sergeant John
Okraj was aroused by loud thud
in Darlak's cell. He found John
nursing a sore neck. Part of his belt
was around his neck; part was at
tached to the bar on the cell win
dow. John had jumped from his
couch. But the strap broke.
This morning his wife told all
about their home life when John
was arraigned before Judge Kowal-
ski. She said she was preparing to
get q divorce and 1t would be just
as we'll TO have John out of her way
until she was free from him So
the judge gave him $50 and costs
with instructions to work il out on
the farm at Oak Park
Mr. and Mrs. Darlak have been
married a little more than a year. 1t
has been a tempestuous one. John
insists on hitting the moonshine In
fact. it was only through kindness
of the police that he was present
at his wedding, They released him
from Jail at midnight the night be-
fore the ceremony so he could &c
home and get cleaned up.
