On Thursday, Thomas Barrow,
who resides on farm on the
Wisconsin river, formerly the
home of the Plummer family, not
iced his flock Of turkeys suddenly
arise from the rye field aid fly
toward the house, distance OF

giving meal on that day. Mr. Bar
row seized his rifle and the first
shot sent ball into the side OF

Chicago Office
For F. |. Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright, creator
of unique residential architecture,
is to make his home in Chicago
Jan. l. A studio is being prepared
for him and his twelve assist
ants at 10 East Cedar street.
In 1918 he went to Japan to
build the Imperial hotel 1t with
stood the Toxic earthquake last
year.
But now. he says, he will de
aote himself entirely to indust-
rial architecture.
Turns to Industrial Art
His return 10 Chicago will mark
a radical departure in his work
since he is turning to the indust-
rial building as the one hope
Of an artistic America.
America is to give the world
the greatest of all arts-com-
mercial architecture, he said to-
day. at will never beat the arts
OF the old world in literature,
painting or sculpture, but it will
dwarf the architecture of Greece,
Rome, Egypt and Italy with noble
factories, warehouses, shops
bridges and mills.
"And Chicago, being the center
of business America will lead
this new movement as it has led
in such American literature as
we have, such American music as
we have. The modern skyscraper
started here under Louis Sullivan,
for a generation the greatest of
American architects. RI
RidicuIes State Capitols
american architecture has fail,
ed miserably when it has tried to
copy models Of the old world.
Our state capitols, for instance,
are ridiculous, pompous wastes
grand gestures. Millions of tax
payers dollars have gone into
those useless spendthrift domes.
Our public buildings and most of
our big structures are not to be
compared in nobility and art with
many of the bridges, factories
and coal sheds American business
men put up"
Wright at present is at Spring

DISCUSSED
WOMAN'S CLUB

The Catholic Women's club hell
it's regular meeting in the Parochiai
school, Wednesday evening. After
the program a social time was had
and refreshments served. Mrs. A.
C. Edwards read an excellent and
most instructive paper on "Here-
dity and Environment" She said
in part,
"Heredity means the tranmis-
sion from parent to offspring of
physical and intellectual characters.
The phenomena of heredity are so
conspicuous that they are known
to everyone yet they are so COM
monplace that we pass them by
without approaching their signii-
canoe or meaning. The scope of
the human mind seems such that
we are continually cropping and
cropping for some of the hidden Sc
crets Of life and what it means =
when in fact we have eyes but see
not the marvels that are woven il
our own families, generation after
generation. That like produces like
is a well known fact in practice as
we'll as theory.
cone of the questions in heredity,
at the present time, is whether or
not acquired characters can be
transmitted from parent to off
spring.
Each generation passes on to
the next a mass of social institu-
tions, culture and ideals that have
been gradually developed so that
the child of today finds himself
growing up in an environment that
makes success along many lines
much easier than for the child of
several generations ago.
There are many studies OF the
inheritance of physical characters
that are quite satisfactory. There
are an increasing number of stu
dies of the inheritance of insanity,
feeblemindednes and epilepsy, by
the scientific staff Of institutions
dealing with such cases. This is
of significance because this group is
an increasing burden to cOmmuni-
ties.
"McKim in "Heredity and Human
Progress" says that the large
number of orphaned and homeless
children who become a public
charge are the offspring Of insane
or criminal parents and to expect
their development into honest and
useful citizens is usually to look
for grapes upon thistles.
"The Influence of outside sur
roundings and conditions has been
recognized by naturalists as direct
ly or indirectly affecting changes
in the organism.
at has been strongly maintell-
ed by many Zooligists that acquir-
ed characters cannot be transmit
ted to their offspring but their ar
guments and evidences are not
sufficient to convince those who
hold the opposite view-and the
question is still an open one"
