SHOULD COUSINS MARRY?

rs THERE any foundation for our
L prejudice against the marriage OF
closely related persons?
In more than a third Of the United
States marriage of first cousins is for
hidden. In Oklahoma not even second
cousins are allowed to marry.
Yet in England marriage between
cousins is quite common and has been
for generations. An Englishman can
marry his fathers brothers daughter,
but until recently he was not allowed
TO marry his deceased wife's sister,
who was no relation to him whatever.
Professor Paul Popenoe, the we'll
known authority on this subject, says
that whether or not cousins should
marry depends entirely on the cousins.
Marriage between persons of the
same ancestry and the same personal
traits tends to produce children with
these traits more strongly developed.
If the inherited characteristics are
good, the marriage results in better
children.
If the inherited traits are bad, then
poorer children are the result.
Professor Popenoe concludes that If
both interested parties to the marriage
are strong and healthy, mentally and
physically, above the average, with no
bad tendencies in their common an
cestors for several generations back.
their children will probably be above
the average.
But If the cousins are mentally or
physically below the average, If their
ancestors had undesirable traits, or II
any evidences Of insanity. feeble
mindedness, liability to disease, &c
eentricities, or other undesirable pecu-
Iiarities were present, then their mar
rage would be inadvisable.
Professor Popenoes conclusions are
In line with what every live stock
breeder knows from experience.
The breeder knows that when the
parents are carefully selected and all
animals with bad traits and physical
defects are cut out, there is no quicker
or surer way of building up fine
grade of stock than by inbreeding.
On the other hand, the breeder
knows that If the parents are defec-
tive. low grade or 'scrub" animals the
general average of the herd is lowered
So the answer to the question
whether cousins should marry is that
1t all depends on the cousins. And
the best advice to those in doubt is

PAINTING FOR HEALTH

DAINT is a life-saver.
4 Not the kind that goes on the
face. but the kind that goes on the
wall.
At first thought there would seem
to be no connection between paint and
health, yet recent investigations have
shown that fresh paint is a valuable
antisepdc
Mr.. Henry A. Gardner Of the Tnsti-
tute of Industrial Research at Wash.
ington painted a wall surface and then
sprayed it with a liquid culture of
disease germs. A similar wall space.
implanted, was also sprayed with the
same germ culture. On the implanted
area an abundant growth of disease
germs developed, while on the freshly
painted area the germs died.
The explanation Is simple An IN
painted, rough wall Is porous and
moisture Is absorbed by the wall and
retained for a long period. Most dis
ease germs can only grow on moist
substances. If the wall is painted. the
pores are filed up with paint and
rough, absorptive, damp surface is
changed into smooth, non-absorptive,
dry surface.
A painted wall can be easily cleaned,
while an implanted wall cannot be
washed successfully.
This scientific demonstration has
been borne out by practical experience.
In the early days of our knowledge
of disease germs, fumigation was gen
orally used. If It didn't do anything
else. ii at least made bad smell. very
much like the incense and strong odors
that primitive man used to scare away
disease. But the New York health de-
partment is now using paint rather
than fumigation for sterilizing rooms
which patients with contagious dis
eases have occupied.
In a maternity hospital In st. Louis
there were over hundred cases Of
puerperal fever with high death rate.
Doctor Starklof, the health commits
sioner. ordered the hospital cleaned
and the entire place repainted, includ-
ing the floors, ceilings and inside walls.
After the painting puerperal fever
almost entirely disappeared in that
institution.
This sounds reasonable when we
consider that paints are made up Of
white lead, turpentine and other anti
septic substances
Spring is a good time for cleaning.
A fresh coat of paint in a house or
hospital makes it not only better-look-
ing, but a clean and healthful place
in which TO live.
Paint not only preserves a structure
and improves its appearance, but 1t
also increases its healthfulness.
Good health is largely matter OF
applied common sense.
Ii we live in clean surroundings,
keep our bodies clean and strong and
have clean air, clean food and clean
water, we win be in little danger from
disease,

who has just had her face lifted for

pectancy of life is greater than out

in which the town treats the
young?
Well, listen.
One of the new ideas is the Com
munity Trust, formed to take care
of beQuests for purposes that have
now become Obsolete The Sailors

old Capt Randall left his small for
tune to provide a home for destitute
mariners he had no thought that it
would become one of the great for
tunes of New York-or that the time
would come when there would be no
sailors left to be made snug.
Therefore the Community Trust
has been created. The plan is to
gather in the other obsolete trusts
and put them to work for society as
their givers desired. even If not upon
precisely the lines originally laid
down. These great charities are TO
be freed from the grin of tho dead

VIENNA, July 17.-Minor clashes
are occurring daily along the Italian
Jugoslav frontier in the hill district
between customs officers of both na-'
tions and frontier soldier guards as
we'll as civilians. Several casualties
have been reported with prisoners
taken, but they are usually released.
1t seems that the Italians and the
Jugoslavs are occasionally sniping
each other, sometimes even organ
izing raids. The latest incident was
a Jugoslav customs inspector run
ming the gauntlet of what was sup
posed to have been Italian soldiers.
The immediate cause of the frontier
sniping is said to be an effort to
divert attention from the difficult in
ternal situation in Italy. but the
fundamental causes may be found
in the frontier which has not been
definitely marked. The frontier line
was drawn uncertainty. without con-
sideration for roads and small viii
lagos, and the habitants are forced
by the hills to cross and recross the
frontiers with resulting clashes from
hostile customs officials and troops.
