Hornell, x. Y, Dec. 1 P-Cold weather came to the rescue of the flooded Canisteo river valley today by checking further rise of the waters which yesterday brought de- struction and hardship 10 this city and many neighboring communities
 Preliminary surveys today indicat- ed that no lives were lost. probably because of the ample warning given by the slow rise of the river, but transportation facilities were badly crippled and extensive damage was done to industrial establishments in the low lying portions of the city.
 Traffic was gradually being re sumed in the main line of the Erie railroad after temporary repairs to three places where washouts occur red, while five bridges in this city. closed at the height of the flood last night. were reopened during the morning. Many factories were short handed, however. because of the in ability of their employees to travel over washed out highways.

 One feature of today's session was an ironical attack on M. politis of Greece and other speakers by Lord Cushenden, the British delegate, for seeking to revive the old Geneva protocol which Britain rejected re- gently as impracticable and over idealistic.
 Certain things have been deh- nitely judged and it seems useless to reopen the question of how far ob- iections to the Geneva protocol cor respond to reality" he said.
 At the same time Lord Cushenden stated that Great Britain was ready by every possible way in it's power 10 encourage the promotion of dis armament, arbitration and security, but insisted that the security com- mttee should get down to clear cut propositions

 LitvinofY Is Sensation.
 When Litvinoff wasn't writing with his head almost touching the desk as he wrote furiously making notes on the proceedings, he was watching the other delegates and little seemed to escape him. As he found time to peer about, he smiled he saw number of the delegates busy studying the official Soviet annex distributed today.
 In this annex to the original dis armament proposals of yesterday, the Russians hotly criticised the capitalistic world for possessing more armies and more arms than ever before and for indulging in a frenzy" of naval construction des- pite the Washington conference.

The suggestion has been made and
has found pretty wide acceptance that
the Belgrade government fell into a
Mussolinian trap. 1t Is pointed out
that some months back, when Rome
and Belgrade were at violent issue
over Albania. and 1t seemed to most
of the world that Belgrade was in the
right Tor more in the right, Rome re.
jacted Belgrade's proposal Of refer
ence to the League. Now here Is AL
bania appealing to the League on an
issue in which Belgrade appears (has
been made to appear, our interpreter
would say in the wrong. Belgrade
seems whatever the technical. aspect
of the arrest) to have acted with quite
improper haste, with unjustifiable
brusqueness. Some months ago Italy
charged that Jugoslavia was look.
Ing for trouble" over Albania: but
the world in general concluded that
not Jugoslavia. but Italy was the
trouble-monger. Rome LAY low" But
now behold the old issue in a new
guise; only Jugoslavia is the naughty
one this time. A ''frame-up," says our
interpreter; the appeal to Geneva an
Italian inspiration.
The situation is funny, of course,
but it holds hideous possibilities. One
is inclined, however, to consider these
possibilities remote, expecting that
Belgrade will follow the advice of
London and Paris, aimed to extricate
her from what looks like a false po-

ence; this is mere commonplace. If
any organism ceased this STRUGGLE
ceased to select its environment
ceased to protect itself, its kind would
become extinct in a generation. Rut
are there limitations that must no

The piercing point to this question
comes from modern work in genetics
That has revealed to us junctures NJ
which indiscriminating promotion of
survival and propagation may tend
toward degeneration.
Experimental biology has shown
that at its beginning the organism is
complex thing, containing great
number of separable substances
what we call genes. BY the interac-
ton of these thousand substances the
individual is produced with all his
later characteristics. In early stages
or development the interactions of the
genes produce new chemicals, the
normones or endocrine secretions:
tnese again react with other products.
I'LL there result, in a series of sue

epinephrin, insulin, the digestive and
other secretions: the blood, the It's.
sues, the organs, the mature indi-
vidual.
But not all sets of genes are alike
Some among the genes NAV he de.
rectlVe; such sets yield defective
products. Hormones may be pro.
duced that are deficient in quality mr.
quantity, or both; this results in fur.
ther defects. If the thyroid secretion
is defective, either from poor genes
or poor nutrition, the individual tails
to develop normally; it becomes that
pitiful half-formed thing, a cretin. an
idiot. II insulin is not pronerlv

But chemical therapeutics discovers
that disorders due to defective genes
can be remedied, if we know the
means, just as other chemical proc.
esses may be Influenced. The indi.
vidual Is restored to normality. But
his genes are not changed; they re.
main detective: they are transmitted
to his descendants. In time the race
thus accumulates great stock of
these defective genes Every indi.
vidual that receive them must be
treated with one or more OF the SUBJ
stitutes for the normal products of
the genes.
This picture Is ot an attractive
one. Far better is tAe later condition
