mon house mouse or mus museums
and the rare Chinese mouse or mus
wagneri.
The two are widely different. His
purpose now is to find two other
varieties, pure and uncrossed in
their breed, that are distinct, yet not
so widely different
These latter breeds, the object of
DR.. Titles trip abroad, will be
inter bred and the offsprings close
ly observed. A comparison will be
drawn between them and the hybrid
offspring Of the crossed house mouse
and the Chinese mouse.
Result Sought
1.-THE results will show whether
the species from less widely
dissimilar species exhibit the same
tendencies toward male offsprings as
I found in the case of offsprings from
widely different species" DR.. Little
said.
The real test of the theory will
come after the experiment with the

apply the results to human society.
ut has been shown that the laws
of the life of mice also apply to
human genetics," he said.
During the past IT'S years
America has been populated by
widely dissimilar races of immigrant
men and women, who have inter-
married so as to produce several
groups less widely dissimilar, but
stin distinct from one another.
1.-THE big question to be answered
is, what is going to happen when,
during the next generations, these
less widely dissimilar classes inter
marry?
what works out with the mice
can be expected to work out with
the population of America"
In other words, the characters
tics of sex, procreativeness and rate
of future reproduction may be fore

of mice.

treasury to help as they did last year.
A very nice program was put on. Mrs.

MWdsflnCtonL Letter
By " ODdley

Washington, May 25.-Though Con-
gress is not in session there is no
dimunition in the volume of mail
reaching the White House. Epistles
of all sorts from imposing petitions
to sweet-scented letters are addressed
to the President, but few of these mis-
sives find their way to Mr.. Coolidge's
personal attention. The tenor of
these messages is a request for po-
litical favors or actual demands from
self-constituted groups. Unless there
is more than ordinary interest in
these letters the writer's receive a
perfunctory form letter signed by the
Presidents secretary.
Demand is made in certain quarters
for special session of Congress for
the consideration of the flood control
measure. 1t is rumored that Congress
may be convened in October to deal
with the Mississippi flood question
exclusively. 1t all depends upon the
ability of existing agencies to meet
the emergency. The feeling prevails
that Congress could do nothing at
present to relieve the situation.
The resolutions adopted by the fore
most medical men of the country at
their convention here last week has
intensified interest in the prohibition
question. The medical fraternity will
present an organized demand to Con-
gress for an amendment to the Vol
stead Act which would liberalize the
present provision against liquor as a
medicine. The organized and profess
sional "drys", are reforming their
lines in an effort to prevent any such
change in the Volstead Act. The pro-
hibition enforcement question has also
been brought to the fore with the re-
organization of the law enforcement
unit of the Treasury Department. A
struggle for control of this important
agency has revealed wide differences
between the various groups of profess
sional "drys". The bitterness shown
in this internal warfare is bound to
leave it's mark on proposed legisla-
ton before Congress in December.
There is also considerable specu-
lation as to the effect of a new con-
troversy in the Federal Trade Com
mission. 1t was expected that this
organization would proceed at even
keel, as the Administration was sup
posedly in complete control. The eff
fort of the majority to authorize ex-
penditures for special attorney to
conduct a one man junket to Europe
disclosed a divergence of opinions
among the commissioners themselves.
There is growing sentiment for the

Chinese Rake U. S. WarShip

London-The American destroyer
Preble, was raked with Chinese ma
chine gun fire on the Yangtse river,
says Shanghai dispatch to the Daily
Mail, and replied with it's main arma-
ments. It is believed much damage
was inflicted. The dispatch reports
that Northern Chinese batteries bonn
barded Chinkiang, across the Yang
Use, for two hours Sunday morning,
most of the shells falling on the prop
erty Of the Standard Oil Co. One
tank is said to have been set afire.

adjustment of the commission, but it
seems to be fairly well entrenched
with the present Administration.
Efforts to arouse interest in tariff
matters are not making much head
way. 1t is said that the Administra-
ton leaders are unwilling to have the
subject figure prominently in congress
sional debate. The latest talk deals
with reduction on iron and steel items
which affect farmers. Certain dem
ocratic leaders are drafting new
farm relief bill which will have tariff
provisions. The new measure is said
to represent a compromise between
the Administration credit scheme and
the McNary-Haugen bill.
The Democrats expect to take the
initiative in farm relief legislation at
the next session. One of the interest
ing provisions of the proposed bill
is an export bounty designed to bring
agricultural prices into proper rela-
tionship with Industrial prices by
taking part of the import duties to pay
export bounties to protect the Amer
lean farmer. Opinion prevails here
that some sort of farm relief will be
enacted at the first session because
of the possible effect on the Presiden-
tial election in 1928.
Many political leaders are postpon-
ing selection of their vacation places
until the President decides upon his
summer home. Reports have been re-
ceived from his special agent and the
formal announcement is expected
within a day or two. Whenever the
President designates a summer White
House there is a rush for accommoda-
tions in nearby hotels and homes.
With the presidential offices removed
from Washington many of the clerks
will remain here to transact business
direct with the government depart
ments. 1t has been customary to have
Mr.. Rudolph Forester, the executive
clerk of the White House, in charge
during the absence of the President.
Mr.. Forester has served in this ca
pacity during four administrations.

LIE Bourget, France-In the midst
of crowd gone mad, weary young
man looked up from the cockpit of
trim little monoplane, grinned weak
but unextinguished grin and with the
least effort of nonchalance said:
"Well, here we are"
1t was just 1921 at night and
Captain Charles A. Lindbergh Of Lit
tie Falls, Mimi, had reached the
highest moment Of his rs years. He
had flnown from Roosevelt field, New
York, to LIE Bourget field on the
outskirts of Paris, distance of $500
miles, in 33 hours and 20 minutes.
He was the first man in the world to
have crossed from continent to con-
tinent in single hop by plane.
Other aviators have crossed the Allan
tic in a plane but never in single
flight from continent to continent.
Flying alone with only a compass
to guide him, the air mail pilot
brought the spirit of st. Louis"
across the Atlantic in the first non
stop flight from New YORK TO ParlS
and won the Raymond Orteig prize of
$4,000 for that achievement. And
as he brought his plane to earth,
throng of 10000 roared it's welcome.
And the mad throng kept on roaring
and cheering and half an hour after
the aviator had been rescued from 1t,
the wild throng continued to cneer.
Police and soldiers aided in the res
cue of Lindbergh and saved him from
his thousands of admirers.
He was not tired or sleepy, and
with enough fuel left for another L.
900 miles could have gone to Vienna
or any other place that distance be-
yond Paris. But he explained that
Paris was the place he headed for,
and when he got there this one parti-
cular job was done.
