SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch.


one often hears people talking
about heredity, but few people
seem to realize the scientific prin-
ciples upon which factors OF
heredity are basel.
1t was Gregor Mendel, a monk,
who first enunciated certain laws
about hereditary transmission in
1855.
At that time there appeared in
the Proceedings OF the Natural
History Society of Brunn"
paper by Mendel and the expert.
mental results obtained by him in
crossing different species OF the
common pea.
Mendel had been experimenting
with garden peas grown in the
cIoister for eight years before
this paper was written. And.
curiously enough, although his
deductions were destined TO revolu.
tionize existing thought on here
dfty and to become monumental
in their revelations, his marvel
Gus contribution to science re-
mained practically unknown and
neglected for IS years. Actually,
the discovery only received scien'
tific attention a few years after
Darwin had published his Origin
of the Species.
what Mendel did was to plant
two kinds of peas, one tall va.
riety and one dwarf variety.
Then by. transferring pollen from
fone to another, or cutting out
the stamens, he was able to
grow all tan plants and later a
definite number of tall plants to
every dwarf. Suffice 1t to say.
since MendeTs experiments as
we'll as his theories are quite
complicated that in this way the
terms dominant" and "recessive"
came into being.
And so in this day and age,
with extensive researches being
carried on in many parts OF the
world on the problem of heredi-
tary transmission from parent to
offspring OF dominant physical or
character traits, recessive traits,
etc.
Nevertheless, despite extensive
research, science has not vet set.
,tlei the hereditary qustion in all
its aspects.

some doubt, though many argu-
ments can be gathered to prove 1t
- hereditary.
But such conditions as the
psychoses tinsanityl. tuberculosis,
alcoholism, and other diseases
popularity held to be hereditary,
have not been shown to follow
the Mendelian rules.
Therefore we must not jump TO
unwarranted conclusions ABOUT
hereditary, transmission.
Nor must we think that be-
cause q condition is or may be
hereditary that 1t follows moth.
ing can be done by way OF cure
or ameliOration.
Such an attitude Of mind tends
to lead to policy of hopeless
ness and the patient, therefore,
often does not receive the bene'
fits of science that he should.
Let US not be scared by the
hereditary bugaboo.
Let us be up and doing and
fight disease, mental and nervous
disorders, unhappiness, failure
and the host OF other ailments
that harass human life.
When all is said and done,
what does it matter how we came

RAD|OENDOWMENT
j. MAY SPREAD AIMS
Bequests to Stations Like
Gifts to Colleges Are
Suggested.

Endowment of broadcasting stations
has been suggested as new Held Tor
persons of wealth and an urge toward
philanthropy by the application OF Sta
ton KCRC at Enid, Okla, now pend
TT before the Federal Radio Commits
sion. The station seeks authorization
to operate on a frequency Of 1870 kilo-
cycles with a power of 5000 watts, and
proposes to give entertainment and edu-
cational programs unmixed with ad-
vertising announcements.
According to assertions made by che
stations attorney at q hearing before
the commission, this program Is pos
sible because the Champlin Oil Ref1n-
ing Co. of Enid has set aside $4,000
annually for the upkeep Of the station.
This has been done, 1t was explained,
because H. H. Champlin and his wife,
who. together, own 80 per cent Of the
stock of the company, wish to make
this kind Of a present to the people
Of Oklahoma.
Larger Station Is Planned.
Pursuant to this plan, the oil COM
pany has purchased KCRC, which now
operates on q frequency of 1870 kilo-
cycles with 100 watts, and will recon-
struct it into the larger station II the
commission grants the application.
It was pointed out during the hear
ing that Oklahoma already has been
assigned more channels than it is en-
titled to under the commissions last
ALLEGATION of radio facilities. To this
the attorney for KCRC replied that
Texas also has been allotted facilities
in excess of its authorized quota and
proposed that his station be allowed to
share its requested frequency during the
evening hours with station VIOLA at
San Antonio. The latter now has q
construction permit for 50,O0O-watt
station.
It was the subject of comment dur
ing the hearing that the proposal to
maintain q station devoted exclusively
to entertainment and educational pro-
grams and not dependent upon adVer-
. Using revenue is one that may be eX-
pected to attract the attention Of per-
; sons of means, who may wish to be
! of service to their fellow men and at
the same time perpetuate their own
! names.
Might Be Like College Gifts.
The increasing use of the radio for
educational purposes as well as for
entertainment suggests that the endow-
some day be considered on par with
the practice Of endowing q college
building or an entire educational insti-
tuition.
The purpose of perpetuating family
name which frequently enters into col
lege endowments, it was pointed out,
would be served even more efficiently
by the maintenance of radio station:
Not only would the name be preserved
so long as the station remained in ex-
istence, but attention would be called
to that fact every time the station went
on the air.
There are obstacles in the way in the
fact that the commission does not now
grant perpetual licenses and in the
further possibility that the rapid adj
vancement of radio science may, per-
haps, render present-day stations obso-
lete In the future. These handicapS,
however. are not regarded as insur-
mountable.

BRIBE ATTEMPT CHARGE
Is DISMISSED BY JUDGE
Oficers Accuse Man of Offering 30
to Policeman, but He Claims
It Is Loan,


A charge of attempted bribery Of a
policeman against Harry zimberg, al
G street southeast, was dismissed yes
terday by Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
Policeman Joseph F. Bowers OF the
fifth precinct testified that Zimberg ac-
companied him into lane near the
Towers and Wallach School, 626 G
street southeast, Wednesday night, and
in the course of a conversation offered
him $40 bill, saying that he was q
good fellow and had never arrested
him, but that he was chasing his Gus
tomers away and sor him TO take the
money and buy hat with 1t.
Zimberg claimed that Ofncer Bowers
said that he was making all Of the
money and that there was no reason
why Zimberg shouldn't give him $40 to
buy q hat. He said that he gave the
money to the policeman as q loan.
Sergt. j. G. Holmes and another po-
iceman of the fifth precinct, who were
hiding IN the shrubbery near the scene.
testified that they heard some Of the
conversation ayN that Bowers had said:
What did you give me this for? Are
you in a habit of giving people money
like this?" They told the court they
heard only small PAY = the CONVEX
Sation owing to the noise made by pass
ing automobiles.
Judge Schuldt ruled that there was
no evidence to show that an attempted
bribery had been committed and init
mated that he thought the case had
been handled poorly.
