New Scientific Facts for Old Fancies
Among Results of Meeting of Savants

Why not have each man endow his
family while he is still living and abol-
ish the right of Inheritance at death?
Sir Josiah Stamp, the noted British
economist, advocated this kind of a
moving annuity" where the money
would pass from the father to the chill
dren not at the fathers death, but
while he was still Of middle age. The
children, argued Sir Josiah, have more
need of 1t about that tim, than they
will when their father is old and they
themselves are earning living. This
endowment Ohe children would pre-
sumably use only the income from it
and leave the principal intact would
pass on from generation to generation

The idle rich added Sir Josiah.
are largely mythical. Figures which
he cited showed that there are prob
ably less than 1000 able bodied people
in Great Britin who are idle and yet
are also rich.
If we read and study and learn. does
that make learning any easier for the
children we have later? Do character
istics acquired by the parent pass on
to the children?
Many wordy scientific battles have
been fought over this point and the
orthodox view heretofore has been
that the prevailing answer is "No!"
But at the association meeting Prof.
William McDougall of Harvard demon
strated some developments that may
change that answer to "Yes"'

apparently, one way or the other, and
man has evidently chosen to get along
without the hair and keep the brain.
The explanation of this is that thyroid
secretion helps both the hair and the
brain to grow. The less hair there is,
the more thyroid there Is left over for
the brain.
The prenanted period for the apes Is
only seven months. The human en-
bryo is carried in its mothers body
two months longer, but at seven
months it is thickly clad with down,
losing this only in the last two
months. 1t is this extra two months
which allows the brain to develop and
it develops at the expense of the hair,
for when the child is born the down
has disappeared.
