MACHINE SOLVES
HERED|TY PROBLEM
Agriculture Expert Makes De.
vice to Work Out Difficult
FormuIae.

A mechanical brain which works
out without the aid of human intelli.
gence the complicated mathematical
formulate of the science of heredity,
usually so involved that they can be
solved only by persons with special
training, has just been constructed
at the Department Of Agriculture.
This continuance. the invention OF
r. r. Graves of the Bureau Of Dairy
Industry, looks and works like a
gambling machine. 1t might be
called Fates roulette wheel. 1t is
actually a demonstration of those
laws of chance by which are deter
mined what sort of men and women
may result from definite types of
ancestry.
1t can be demonstrated by mathe-
mates, Mr.. Graves explained, how a
feeble minded child could be born, ac-
cording to the laws of heredity. when
both the parents and the four grand
parents were entirely normal. But
these mathematics are difficult to
follow on paper, and such an incident
~ usually interpreted by recourse to
the supernatural and presuming a
curse of God. or something of the
sort. The machine makes clear how
such thing could happen. 1t is a
translation of mathematics into ma.
chinery.
Used for Demonstrations.
The purpose of the machine is for
use in demonstration work 1t deals
only with three generations, and for
the experienced mathematician it
would be much more expedient to ar.
rive at his conclusions on paper.
Eventually, however, it is expected to
Improve and cheaper the mechanism
so that 1t can be used extensively by
county agents and others who are
preaching to farmers the gospel of
pure stock. It will enable the farmer
TO see Just what can happen.
The machine is constructed on the
basis of the Mendelian law of hereditv
which is the fundamental principle for
all workers in the science of eugenicS.
1t Is intended primarily to work out
problems in the heredity of dairy cat.
lie. but 1t is just as applicable to
human beings.
Mr.. Graves constructed the machine
on the principle that certain qualities.
both physical and mental, pass from
parents to offspring according to a
definite law. Some of these qualities,
such as color of the eyes, are simple
Observation-Disclosures is, they are units
in themselves and are passed along as
units. Others, such as physical
strength, are complex characters de:
pending on the transmission of COM
binations of units
Four Grandparents Assumed.
In his demonstration of the machine
as applied to three generations of a
human family. Mr.. Graves first as
sumed four hypothetical grandparents
with certain known characteristics.
These four grandparents are repre-
scented by four rows of cups arranged
in a vertical line, each row consisting
of four cups. Small balls of different

PARIS STREET LINED

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 13.-Modern cubist
houses line one little street in Paris.
This art revolution has been marked
by formal dedication of the lane as
rue Mallet Stevens" the name of
the architect who built the homes.
The new houses. only a dozen of
them. are in Passy. the good residen-
tial quarter. They stand out like
lighthouses among the ancient, class
ic chateau-like homes of the rich
and aristocratic around them.
The young art world here is eX-
cited in it's praise. Some of the more
conservative lament the era of geom-
etry in art but are not surprised
that people rushed to rent or buy
the places.
Cubes are the keynote of the
houses. They are bAilt of reinforced
concrete, lined with hollow tile.
Parts of the second and third stories
are set back in terraces. The lines
are broken by balconies. covered re-
cesses and windows of unusual d.
mansions.

Greeting Cards.

FROM Liberty.
Few persons realize the magnitude
of the industry that supplies the
American people with it's greeting
cards. The greeting-card industry, in
spite of it's phenomenal growth and
undeniable Importance, still exists in
the popular mind as something to do
with post cards"
+. But in one year more than 100000
600 was spent for greeting cards in
this country. One company alone lists
more than $50 varieties of cards. And
for the cards issued last year 27.S42
verses were written.
The greeting card industry Skins
the cream of the best paper mills in
this country, and is the largest import
err of the finest handmade papers from
all over the world. 1t is the greeting
card industry that has raised the
standard of American printing and
plate making until they no longer
need bow even to Leipzig and Munich
traditions.

automobiles, and on gasoline sales,
now produce more revenue, state
and national, than the federal gov
eminent cost before the war. Case
line taxes in 1926 were over $780,
100000, and MANY states have this
year increased the tax. 1t ranges In
different states from one to five cents
per gallon. Motorists have never
seriously objected to it as substan-
TALLY all of it went to road building.
But with the tendency to make the
tax burdensomie, there is increasing
protest. Some friends of good roads
fear that too vigorous squeezing OF
the goose that lays the golden egg
may ultimately kill the bird. The
same thing applies to the tax n
mining in the state of Minnesota.
With the immense shipments OF iron
ore from Sweden and Africa to this
country the burden of taxation may
become so strong as to kill the min
ing of iron ore in this state entirely.
Let's save the goose.
