1900 WATCH
GUARDS SHOW

Despite q heavy rain early in
the morning, lowering skies and
sprinkles throughout the day, the
largest crowd since 1917 viewed
the biggest military show ever
put on by the Wisconsin National
guard at Camp Douglas Sunday
when it celebrated its annual Gov
ernor's day.
Thirty-three hundred excursion
lists from Milwaukee, 200 from Be
lott, GAINESVILLE, Edgerton, Slough
ton and Madison and 5000 others
who came in automobiles, swelled
the crowd to more than 10000 Wis
itors by 1870 p. m. when the mill
tary show started. THE task of
feeding and caring for the large
crowd went through without a
hitch or accident. Two meals,
dinner and supper, were served
free by the companies to all the
visitors and every courtesy was
extended by the states citizen sol

In a recent issue of the New
York Evening Post, DR.. A. B. Stout
of the New York Botanical garden,
formerly of Barabeo, tells how to
make the day lily a real thing of
beauty. During the past ten years
DR.. Stout has been experimenting
with this humble flower and has
produced some satisfying results.
Ordinarily the snowy flowers are
a few simple colors but by plant
ing seeds the botanist has broken
up and recombined these colors,
producing plants of a greater in
terest to the flower grower. In
some cases the colors have been
intensified. The list of day lilies
available to the trade is not a long
one but through the efforts of DIR.
Stout the number will be greatly
increased.
DR.. Stout is secretary of the con-
ference committee of a proposed
international conference on flower
and fruit sterility and the organi-
cation is preparing to hold a meet
ing in New York during August
next year. The last report of the
Horticultural Society of New York
contains an article on the "Clonal
Variety in Horticulture"

NEW SOUINT AT DISEASE

NEW ONO1lN1 IA DlOLfAOL
Today the average human life
is both longer and better worth
living than it was a century or
even a generation ago. This is
partly due to the organized efforts
of science prying into the causes
of diseases and seeking to remove
them. Vernon Kellogg is one of
the most notable of these investf-
gators and in this editorial he
gives the layman an idea of the
direction of modern medical re-
search. He writes:
"Those physicians who have
the truly scientific type of mind,
and who approach their cases in a
spirit of inquiry, are waking up
to an old idea now being given a
new development. It is the idea of
the specific relationship between
the human constitution and dis
ease.
'Viewed from this aspect, as
an eminent medical man has re-
Gently said disease ceases to be
an entity in itself, a thing as it
were added to or carried by man,
and becomes rather the inevita-
BILE expression of conflict between
unique individuality and an ad-
verse specific force of environment
mot only scientifically minded
physicians but students of human
biology, especially students Of
heredity, are turning their atten-
ton to this matter. They find that
there is a specific relationship be-
tween general bodily makeup and
a predisposition to certain types
OF disease. Such characteristics as
stature, the shape of the head, and
the proportion of the skeleton, may
seem to have nothing to do with
the causes of disease but the rela-
tionship is there nevertheless.
Even those structural differ
ences among men that have been
looked on as marks Of distin-
gushing one branch of the hu-
man from another seem to have
less real significance than thoss
structural distinctions which show
a difference in susceptibility to
various diseases. If these latter
differences happen also to be more
or less identical with racial strue-
tural differences then we shall
have in them a basis for recogniz-
ing a relationship between race
and disease that may prove i'm
portant to take into account in
matters of immigration regulation,
etc.
"These structural differences
are constitutional. But constitG-
ton includes, of course, other
matters than those of general
body structure alone. 1t includes
physiology and even psychology.
A fundamental study of the hui
man constitution involves a care
full attention to the heredity of
an individual, to the balance or
unbalance OF this, ductless gland
secretions, and also to the en-
vironmental conditions and influ-
ences in face of which he has de-
veloped. All these things help de
termine human constitution. So

ORIGIN OF EVOLUTION STORY


stunt to advertise Dayton than
was the Santa Barbara earthquake
started to advertise Santa Bar
bara," is the declaration of John
T. Moutoux, staff correspondent of
the Scripps- Howard newspapers,
which relieves our spirit not
little.
The truth seems to be that this
story now agitating the thought of
the civilized world, came out of
obscurity very slowly. When the
warrant was served on the school
teacher, John T. Scopes, so little
Importance was attached to the in
cident that one correspondent, did
not think a 80 cent telephone
call to his Chattanooga newspa-
per was Justified. All the newspa-
per correspondent visiting Dayton
have commented on the fact that
the principals in the case and the
public in general in Tennessee have
been greatly perplexed by the ap-
pearance Of newspaper men from
distant cities, sending hundreds of
thousands of words by telegraph
to the metropolitan newspapers of
the country and the world.
When Mr.. Moutoux arrived in
Dayton, on the night that Scopes
was bound to court, he telephoned
to the school teacher, asking for
an interview, but Scopes, appar-
emily unappreciating the import
ance of the call and disguised be-
cause his name was getting into
the local papers, hung up the re-
ceiver.
The story of how a drugstore
discussion led to the decision to
test the anti-evolution law in the
courts has been told many times.
Here is what happened after the
deputy sheriff had come, by re-.
quest and served the warrant for
Scopes arrest according to Mr..
Moutoux.

about the case, and again Haggard

When Haggard got home, he

Memorial Rites Conduct.
ed at Spot Where Ship
Sunk in atlantic.

A Elistening specter in the form of
giant iceberg lowered above the
United States Coast Guard cutter Mo-
doc yesterday afternoon as memorial
services were conducted for those who
perished when the great ship Titanic
foundered on just such terror Of the
sea.
1t was said to be the first iceberg
of such proportions to haunt the awful
spot since the Titanic sank on April
II, 1912. taking to their death more
than 1900 persons.
The Modoc reported by wireless last
night that the services We're conducted
at 3 o'clock in the spectral presence of
the iceberg, and that ships over a
wide eXpanse of the Atlantic had
joined in the ceremonies by maintain
ing five-minute radio silence.
Prayers were read, three volleys were
fired and taps were sounded.
The Titanic, carrying scores of
prominent personages of the world,
struck an iceberg at latitude 4l.46
north and longitude 50.14 west. about
500 miles south of Newfoundland and
/ 500 miles east of New York. 1t
sank 2 hours and 40 minutes after the
collision.
