If that hutter was all there was to

that game is that it is dangerous
The more one sleuths around behind
his immediate ancestors the greater
the danger Of finding something he
isn't looking for. For the original
American colonists were not made
up exclusively Of angels.
If heredlty has been persistent
enough to carry down through the
generations the original colonial
characteristics. the biological prob
ability is that the exclusive and

day are descendants Of the Tories Of
1876, who thought it real rude of our
revolutionary forefathers to kick the
royal stuffing out of old King
George.
But if we are going in for this

we ought to do it in a thoroughly
