HYGIENE CALLED
DANGEROUS To
HUMANITY
Prof. Turner Says Millions of
Unfit Are Being Kept
Alive.
By FRED j. WALKER,
Cosmopolitan News Service Staff
COrre6DOndent

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-Is the
spread of public health knowledge
destined to ruin the human race?
This was the question raised to-
day during an interview with Clair
E. Turner, associate professor of
biology and public health, Massa.
chusetts Institute of Technology.
He is attending the health educa-
ton section of the World Confer
ence on Education here.
Millions of unfit children to.
day, as result of medical science,
are kept living where yesterday
they died. Nature, in giving these
children frail bodies, decreed that
they must die, but modern science
is circumventing nature. Is the
spread of public health knowledge a
good or bad influence on the race?
ITO some extent science today
saves the partially frail types
through public health work." said
under an obligation to nature to
prevent the propagation Of the unfit.
To-day, as a result of the more
general knowledge of hygiene,
thousands of children are living
who ordinarily would die at or
near birth.
''The interesting argument then
arises, is the saving of these frail
types a good or bad thing for
the racer Undoubtedly, it should
be done, but in so saving these un-
fit children. the obligation is placed
squarely upon us of inaugurating
some plan Of eugenics.
S'The average American life has
been increased ten years within the
last generation. The increase is
directly traceahle to the advance
ment Of science and the spread Of
information on the prevention of
disease -

GUARDED GAME

IN PENNA.
Deer and Bears Destroying
crops-Law Passed to Kill
off Surplus Animals.
Nv international News Service.

HARRISBURG, Pa. July g.
Bears. rabbits and deer, indicted by
asriculturists all over the State for
overrunning farms and fruit groves.
and doing enormous damage, are
outlawed in a State statute approved
by Governor Pinchot.
Deer, under protection of the law,
are becoming so tame they invade
newly planted orchards wheat
fields and even the kitchen gardens
surrounding the thousands Of farms
in search Of easy food.
A member Of the Agricultural De-
nartment staff asserted that an old
mother deer, with her young one
captured a bottle of milk from an
infant in the western section OF the
State, and, this depreciation belng
"too much" the department took
steps to check the ravages Of game.
Ravages by Bears.
More serious damage is charged
to bruins tribe in the northern tier
of counties, where almost weekly
raids are made on live stock, poul-
try and bees. In the wilderness the
bear has a well-known fondness for
the "bee tree" but in Pennsylva-
MAS civilization it's a lot easier to
hop on a well-regulated honey III
dustry for a supply of sweets.
Rabbits are particularly damaging
to Young fruit trees, making their
three square meals day off the
bark.
While officials believe the State
should take the proper measures to
protect it's wild life, steps for the
protection Of property were regard
ed as essential also.
Upon petition of 200 or more .citi-
zens, an open season may be de-
clared on bears, and these Nnimals
designated as a common nuisance.
Indemnity to Be Paid.
When no other effective means of
control is possible similar petitions
as to deer may be sent to the State
authorities. The power is vested in
the game board to remove or kill
birds and animals in any section
where they become troublesome.
Another plan for relief against
depredations of deer provides for
the cooperative building of fences
around valuable agricultural or hor-
ticultural tracts, in which the cost
is borne half by the State. half by
the owner.
Indemnity to farmers damaged by
bear raids will be paid by the State.
