HEREDlTY DISCUSSED IN
 A SERIES OF LECTURES

SEATTLE, Jan. S-If childrens teeth are set on edge as the result of eating of sour grapes by their par ents, is their condition due to actual inheritance, or to living with parents whose teeth are set on edge.
 This question was discussed by Prof George B. Rigg of the botany department at the University of Washington, in a popular scien lecture on Biological Laws and Human Vel fare." The lecture was one of ser ies which have been given every week under direction of the college of sci theset
 ence These lectures will continue until the first of March.
 Heredity and environment are the two important factors determining what man or any other living being may become. The first of these laws states that every plant and animal comes into the world endowed with a considerable range of possibilities as to what it may become, and what it actually becomes depends on it's sur roundings. The second law deals with the nature environment and regards environment as made up of many fac

PLEA OF JAPANESE JINGOES
 PREPOSTEROUS.

While a Japanese peace society is protesting against the forthcoming maneuvers of the American fleet off Hawaii and expressing the hope that they would be abandoned out of due regard for inter- national morality and ill the cause of world peacc Y the people of Australia voicng feeling of pleas ure that the fleet is to visit the island continent The fact is that the Japanese jingoes-not the gov erment-do not relish the idea of our warships wis i,ing Australia for they like Australian n,n,igra- tion policies whit better than they like that of the United States. Yet squadron of Japanese warships has been visiting ports in the Pacific, and will visit of own. The people of this country see menace in this fact. Rather they welcome the Japanese ships, for their call is regard ed as friendly mission. One of the most prepos- erous proposals that may be conceived is that of the squeamish Japanese who want this country to call off it's maneuvers in "free' ocean just off one of it's own possessions It is so absurd that nobody takes is seriously.

tors, each of which has it's influence, but recognizes that there is usually some one factor that is limiting the hereditary possibilities.
 These two laws give a true picture of the relation of heredity and envi- ronment. An understanding of these laws tends to lead away from much of the pessimism that has character ized recent biological discussion, Prof. Rigg says

 time by the Hudson Bay Co.
 All other small furs were to be taken without price, being considered quite worthless.
 In the year 1890, their banner year, they trap ped and sold to the Alaska Commercial Co. 47,000 skins; of that number, Bettes bought trapped 22 800, in the following proportion:
 Forty-fve hundred fox belts, of which 200 Blacks and Svers at price of from $50 to $1O0 per pair; the balance of the foxes being red and, cross sold at from $1 to $5 per pair 800 marten skins at $125; 15,OOO beaver at $400 per pair; B. 900 lynx at $1.5O per pair; 12,OOO bear hides at $500 The market for the bear skins practic- ally all in Russia and used for making hats for government officials and army officers.
 Nr. Bettles carried 4OO0 native trappers on his books. They trapped the territory covering all the water shed to the Yukon from both limits The ter rtory has never recovered from that year s trapping and Mr. Bettles states that there has been than 800 marten per year taken from his old trap ping ground since that time and there is about one fox where formerly there 100.
 There were only three black fox taken in 1890 in the old Yukon River country which brought high prices. They sold at $20OO0 pelt.
 MT. Bettles states that prior to going to the Yukon country, he the Hudsons Bay Company s fur grader One of his best producing stations was probably Unklukyet, meaning, in the native tongue, 'the ending of the mountain Muskrats, when trapped were put up in huge bales as were also ermine, and little nothing was paid for them.
 This story, given to Alaska representative, would indicate that the taking of fur bearing ami malls in the vast territory no longer profitable and is an argument for the need of extensive develop ment of fur farming if the demand for furs is to be supplied in the future.

President Accepts Invitation
to Be in Houston for
Convention

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. -
The executive officers of the
United States Good Roads Asso-
citation and the Bankhead National
Highway Association are very much
elated over the prospects OF Presl-
dent Coolidge attending the annual
meetings of these two associations,
and the United States good roads
show, at Houston, Tex. during
the week of April 21-26.
The President was very much
Impressed with the invitation that
was extended to him on December
is, when q committee of forty odd
prominent men and women repre-
genting more than a dozen States
and the City of Houston, urging
him to attend these conventions
and to visit Houston. He showed
that he was pleased with the short
and cordial speeches of invitation
delivered by Governor q. Lee
Trinkle, president of the United
States Good Roads Association;
Colonel Bennehan Cameron, presi-
dent, Bankhead National Highway
Association; Director General j. A.
Rountree, OF both associations; Sen
ators Morris Sheppard and Eal
B. Mayfield, Of Texas; Lieutenan.
Governor Lynch Davidson, Of Tex
as; Congressman Daniel Garrett and
c. B.. Hudspeth, of Texas, and
Gutzon Borglum, the noted sculptor
of Stone Mountain fame.
After listening to the invitations,
the President tentatively accepted
the invitation. The President told
the committee that in the event he
makes Southern trip at the time
OF the convention he will include
this visit in his itinerary. He also
told the committee that he was
deeply interested in the work OF the
associations and the good roads
movement and that it was his de:
sire to do everything possible foc
the advancement Of the movement.
It ia understood that many South
ern and Western cities will extend
invitations to the President to visit
them en- route to Houston. 1t Is
expected that the President, early
after Congress adjourns, will take
up the question of his visit and
make his itinerary of the trip.

by practically all countries to- de-
terYr1ine horsepower rating is ad-
nitted by all engineers TO be grossly
inaccurate, and yet the governments
use II as q tax basis. Without at
tempting to describe the formula II
can be said that the actual horse
power OF an engine can be de-
ternined only by test, and cannot
be arrived at by formula, because
it involves not only bore, stroke and
speed, but the additional factors
OF compression ratio, valve size,
valve lift, timing, weight Of re-
ctprocating parts and the nature Of
ignition also manifold design, den
sity OF gas, and fractional resistance.
Citroen advertises 20 horsepower
as the effective power of his 5 horse
power car.
Morris-Cow advertise 30 horse
power as the effective power or
their 11.9 horsepower car.
High Speed Motors.
They actually get the higher power
from three small engines by running
them fast under high compression,
but buyers pay tax On the formula
rating. American cars like the
Ford, Chevrolet and Overland have
much bigger, slow speed, normal
compression motors, whose buyers
must pay much higher taxes. Cen
sequently, the European small cars
have a big advantage.
Large European cars with slow
speed, normal compression motors.
comparable to American made mo
tors, come within the luxury class.
and buy ers pay about the same
taxes as American cars Of the same
kind carry.
These cars, like Buick, Stude-
baker, Nash and others. are mar.
ketable in Europe in competition
with the local pcoduct, while our
small cars which appeal to buyers
Of limited means suffer by COM
parison. All European countries
except England have a tariff on
motor cars, which is 45 per cent
in France and Italy, and American
manufacturers have this disads
vantage. Gasoline is from so per
cent to 100 per cent higher in
Europe than 1t is in our country.
Quietness, durability. comfort and
are vital factors in
motor car satisfaction. They are
Of attainment by high
speed, high compression motors.
Slow speed, moderate compression
American motor cars afford them
in high degree. Our cars are like
wise unsurpassed in the world in
design, quality and appearance.

In the present dTtlUAC we SHAH
devote our attention to the brakes.
There are three common types Of
trouble found in the brakes. These
are known az chattering, squeaking
and slipping.
Chattering, which is aptly de-
scribed by the name, Is caused by
various conditions. In some cars Il
is the fault Of the. brake design.
Generally, it is caused by worn
brake supports. misalignment Of
the bands with the drum or by
glazed lining. On the other hand
glazed brake lining win cause
soueaking and this may be cured
by applications Of kerosene. II
the Kerosene does not stop the
squeaking. refining is indicated.
when the brakes slip on applica-
ton and fail to hold the car, IL
means that the lining is worn out,
fs slipper with grease or oil that
has leaked into the brake unit in
some way or the lining is badly
glazed.
Refining the brakes Is not q
particularly difficult job. The old
lining must be removed first. by
cutting out the rivets with q ychisel
and hammer. The band il then
cleaned and any rough, spots are
filed off with q fairly harsh file.
The new lining is applied to the
band and cut with about an inch
to spare at one end. The holes are
marked on the lining and drilled
through to accommodate the riv-
cts that Hallst be inserted to hold
it in place. The secret OF refining
lies in getting. the rivet holes
accurately cut. IL they are OFF,
even little, the lining will not
lie smoothly, but win crimp. and
win quickly be ruined. The rfvets
must be countersunk, so that the
metal is below the surface. Other
wise the rivet heads viii score
the bands and you will have
trobule.
Most owners prefer to have the
