Washington newspapermen who

He told a group Of distinguished d

To illustrate his theory, DR.. Kam-

The scientist. who recently ex-
planned his theory in lectures at OK

OF the germ plasm. The Weismann
theory is that the individuals char
acteriStics spring from a portion OF
the reproductive plaSm of the parent
called the germ plasm, and that the
germ plasm is stable from generation
to generation.
DR.. Kammerer declared that every
fact or thought of a human being
during his lifetime became part of
his body and part of the germ

acquired characteristics were trans
mitted.
''If a man commits n murder" he
said, "the thought which accompanies

OF his children. 1t is the same with

DIR. Kammerer said he believed man
