inmate those with physical imper-
fections.
This is the suggestion Of Dr.
Charles F. Digit Of this city, one
of the foremost students Of engen-
les and heredity in America, who
declares our civilization is poised
on the brink of an oblivion as ut
ter as was the downfall of Babylon
To averHruin, Dr.. Digit believes
the present system of marriage maxi
ing will have to be changed.
''The United States is becoming
populated at an alarming rate with
socially unfit, including epileptics
hopiessly insane, mentally subnor
nal and feeble-minded beings" de-
clares DR.. Digit.
The character of man, he con,
tends, is determined largely by
heredity, and no environment vii
materially alter human behavior.
Superman Possible.
Idiots" he asserts, cannot be
Transformed into intelligent human
beings; nor will brains, only partly
complete, rise above the limits
placed upon them by heredity.
AS scientific selection and breed
ing Of plants have produced super
plants, SO can the wise propagation
of human beings ultimately result in
the superman, q race of human
thoroughbreds.
Psychologists have determined
that the average mental age of citi-
gems of the United States is aboua
10 or IA years and that only four
and one half per cent Of the people
are exceptionally intelligent.
1T is not only impossible to de
velop a high civilization with poor
human stock, but an excess of such
humans will result in the decay Of
the highest civilization that exists.
Although it viii be a gigantic task
to alter the average human nature.
we can safely say that with wise
application of modern eugenics we
could make over the human race in
100 years Transforming it into
race Of mighty intellect and physical
giants"
Building New Race.
These are the means by which this
change could be brought about, &C.
cording to DR.. Digit
1-Education Of all the people on
the inheritability of traits and the
consequent development of higher
and more intelligent ideals of mar
riage.
2-Segregation of detectives.
3-Marriage laws consonant with
The principles of eugenics.
liberalization. of hopeless de-
fectives.
The permanent betterment OF
the human race through the use of
eugenic measures" says Dr.. Digit
is certainly possible, and we may be
saved from the fate which has be-
fallen past civilization"

NET SPREAD FOR :, RECKLESS DRIVERS
Motor LaW ViolatorS Pay SS7, 7,404
 in Fines in Three Months

Hartford, May 2.--Fines and tria' fees throughout Connecticut for vio. iations of the motor vehicle laws az. sregated s37,4o4 for the first quarter Of this year, an increase of Sa6,200 over the total for the corresponding period of last year. according to fig ures given out at the state motor vehicle department. The increase is said to be indicative of tightening upi in discipline in the face of an cpl dcmic of reckless driving.
 Drastic steps are conterhplated by the department to combat the care- lcssness of automobile operators which has brought the accident rate Up to point where one car in every twelve registered is involved in an &C., cident. and more courts are co-op- erating by imposing jail sentences more frequently than ever before. and heavy fines. With 10000 more cars on the state highways already than there were at this time last year. the traffic question is source of consid- erable concern to the motor vehicle and state police departments.
 The number of fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents was greater tor the past two months than for the entire year 1910. when a total of SS deaths excited much comment as 10 the destructive work of motor vehicles. Tn that year there were five times as many deaths from typhoid as from motor vehicles, but in 1923 there were five times as many deaths from motor vehicles as from typhoid In the intervening period a.5o0 people lost their lives n motor vehicle acci- dents. T
 If ihe record of previous years is applicable to the present year. e5o Connecticut people who arc now liv- ing will be dead at the end of this year as the result of motor vehicle accidents. By the first Of last month. 46 had already been killed and an analysis of tho motor vehicle depart ment statistic- by Professor ]. c. Tracy of the Sheffield Scientific School brought him to the conclusion , that. from present indications, the number killed this year will be con slderably over s0o." !
