stage door.
At either end of the alley two po-
licemen kept order. The lean canyon
between a bus line depot and the
theater was almost airless as sum-
mer's first humidity wave swept over
the midtown belt, leaving the Broad
way throngS clammy and uncomfort-
able.
A strange sight-700 girls, each
praying to he one of two dozen chosen
for a chorus! Within half an hour,
the huge stage swarms and buzzes

AS Raymond Pearl points out in q
recent discussion, there has been a
common observation that length of
days tends to run in families. Pro-
fessor Pearl refers, for example, to
the statement by Oliver Wendell
Holmes as to how to live long. The
eminent humorist said:
1.-The first thing to be done is, some
years before birth, to advertise for
a couple Of parents both belonging to
long-lived families. Especially let the
mother come of a race in which &C.
~togenarians and nonagenarianS are
very common phenomena. There are
practical difficulties in following out
this suggestion, but possibly the fore
thought of your ~progenitors, or that
concurrence of circumstances which
we call accident, may have arranged
this for YOU"
The laboratory of the department
of biology of the school of hygiene and
public health in Johns Hopkins uni
versity has recently made some ex-
tensive studies of collections of gen.
ealogic material that bear on the
matter.
