IS th"t 'npa emily the expe fence

Do not our children today learn

Can they not, and must thew not

Do not many things GENE more
easily to. the son of the scholar
than to-othe son Of the peasant?
Those are questions which our
reason would. like to answer in the
affirmative - questions for whose
reply statistics are available, even
though We must go to lower forms
OF life for experimentation, since,
even ii we dared, it would be i'm
possible to use human beings for
this purpose.
For decades we have been fed
with negative proof that acquired
characteristics are not hereditary.
Negatlon is never sufficiently con-
elusive to halt research work.
For this reason, l have continued
my work unremittingly and, after
more than twenty years, have ac-
cumulated material that may help
to solve this most important uues-
ton. 1t is an exceedingly import
ant question, because on the solu-
ton to the problem Of whether ac-
quired characteristics are heredi-
tary. depends the answer to an
other important question: Does
true progress Of humanity exist?.

MIR. HOOVER CONTINUES TO WORK

Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce in President
Coodges cabinet continues to go ahead steadily with the
task assigned him of promoting American industry without
regard to the current hystera and without afecation
regard for estimates of him. Mr. Hoover has pointed
to Senator Capper of the farm bloc method by which he
believes agriculture and industry may be benefited through
change in existing laws regarding monopoies.
Nine materials essential to American industry and
agriculture he points out produced abroad and their
sale is controlled to large degree by combinations Unde.
the present antitrust laws it would be unlawful for Amer
lean buyers to combine to purchase these materials although
the American industries and consumers might benefit
through such buying combination. Mr.. Hoover seeing
the benefits suggests that the laws be altered to permit this
activity.

The tin mouse had hidden some

This was what he had done. He

lady had fallen on the wooden wad-
die duck, and the wooden waddle

twenty inches and frightened the tin

shied and stepped on the peanut boy,
breaking his nose.

mouse was. No wonder he hid.
