Defective mothers of normal chill

ability to make common sense judge

Douglas Thorn. chief medical officer
of the Psycopathic Hospital of Bos-
ton. declared today, addressing the
second days session of the American

Problem of Environment.
DR.. Thorn said the superior chill
dren of inferior parents constitute a
serious social problem, the basis of
which. he added, is to learn how to
prevent the environment of such
children from retarding their normal
mental development. Parents men
tally defective may have children of
intelligence above the average, but
the home atmosphere may bind and
wither the intelligence of the chill
dren and may even cause them to
become of less than average intel
ligence DIR. Thorn said.
Heredity is revealed in family

mosomes playing an important part
in heredity, DR.. Charles B. Davenport,
director of the department of genetics
of the Carnegie Institution of Washing

GREAT FALLS POWER
PROJECT OPPOSED
Engineer, Who Studied Plan in
1911, Tells Committee It Is ,
Impractical Still.

Opposition Ito the proposed hydro
electric development on the Potomac
River at Chain bridge and Great
Falls, with three storage reservoirs
was voiced when hearings were re-
sumed before a subcommittee Of the
House District committee today by
NJ. o. Leighton, who said that in 1911
he had made an investigation Of this
project for the geological survey and
that he is now consulting engineer
for New York interests.
Mr. Leighton said that the figures
in the Maj. NJ c. Tyler report for
the entire project, totaling $44, 900, 900,
should be increased to about $780,
100000.
Mr.. Leighton said that the Chain
bridge dam would cost $16,2s0,oo0, or
an increase of 100000 above the
Tyler figures.
Sees No Reason for Plant.
Mr.. Leighton told the subcommittee
he can find no real reason that can
be presented for building that plant
either by the government or by pri-
vate enterprise.
BY developing superpower system
1,100, 100000 kilowatt hours can be
produced. which would bring the cost
down below the present coal cost, ne
said, but this would require that a.
market for the surplus energy within
reasonable distance of the Capital
must be found.
The time has not come when Po-
tomac power can be produced eco
nomically, Mr.. Leighton said. If Con-
gress wants to go into a project
which must go through large num-
Der of lean years, that Is another
matter. It is not wise now in view
of the uncertain market, he told the
committee.
President Roosevelt asked him IL
Great Falls could be used to light the
streets of the Capital and the govern
ment buildings, and he advised MT.
Roosevelt that this could not be done.
Later the District Commissioners
wanted to know IL Potomac River
power could not be used for street
lighting in connection with the
water conduit. He made an investi-
CATION and advised against such a
project, he said.
Mr.. Leighton offered an amendment
which would give the federal power

project or to postpone It Il tnyesti-

Indorses Howe1l-Barkley
Measure.

The Howell-Barkley bill proposing
substitution of national arbitration

was reported favorably today by the
Senate interstate commerce committee.
The measure, declared by the Re

upon which action will be sought be

opposed by the carriers.
La Toilette Participates.
The favorable committee vote was
taken Immediately after the return

leader of the insurgents. Cutting his
vacation short by two days, he partici-
pated in the meeting of the commit
tee, called to consider the bill which
his intimates described as one of the
most essential planks in his political

FOREIGN PRESSURE
SEEN BY GERMANS
Claim Outside Interference Makes
Cabinet Organization
Impossible.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1924.
BERLIN, May 31.-Pressure from
the British and French exerted in
many ways. but chiefly visible in the
attitude of the press, is rendering the
building of a new German cabinet al
most impossible, according to reports
here. It Is claimed that foreigners
are constantly urging Germans to
form a cabinet without the national
lists, counting on aid from the social
democrats.
The Germans answer that creditor
nations are apparently mad if they
believe the German socialist gov
ernment will carry out the great
that if foreigners want the plan
of the reparations experts carried out
they cannot expect such luxuries as
the eight-hour day, ETC., to be observ-
ed in Germany.
Accept ExpertS Report.
The Nationalists have accepted the
experts report in principle and are
only prevented from obtaining that
place in the cabinet to which their
numerical strength entities them by
foreign help given the Democratic
Socialist parties from outside. The
cessation of such foreign interference,
it is claimed, would make the form
ing of a cabinet comparatively easy
Should former Chancellor Stresemann,
now foreign minister, consent to let a
Nationalist succeed to the latter post,
it is highly possible that he might
be sent to London or Washington as
ambassador.
