Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. June 6.-The old
wooden bridge across South River, near
Annapolis! will be replaced by more
modern structure much sooner than
expected. as the result of a partial
collapse of the span.

spans in the State. sunk five feet at
the south end this morning as heavy
truck, belonging to the Annapolis Dairy
Products Co. of the city, worked its way
across.
The truck driver felt the bridge sink
ing beneath him as he entered it and
as the structure swayed he put on speed
and reached the other side in safety.
The bridge connects the city with the
old Washington or Marlboro road.
Traffic will be obliged to detour by way
of Riva or Taylorsviile. 90.
The State Legislature authorized a
new bridge for South River the past

EUGEN|STS FARLEY
|. HERED|TY FACTORS
Inherent Qualities Termed
Hope in Racial Progress
at Gotham Session.
Nv the Associated Press

| By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Heredity
| rather than environment was called the
real hope of racial progress at the an
nual meeting of the Eugenics Research
Association here today.
Even the type of endemic" goiter,
supposed to be due to iodine deficiency
in the soil. was shown to be caused
| partly by heredity. The goiter report
| was delivered by DR.. Charles B. Daven-
port, director of the Department of
Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington. Of Cold Spring Harbor, Long
Island.
Golfer Also Hereditary.
"The environmental conditions that
induce endemic goiter." he said, may
well serve to bring out thyroid insuffi-
iency based on gene hereditary defects
which would go unnoticed when con-
ditions were entirely favorable.
For, after all, only fraction Of a
people In an endemic region have goiter,
and goiter is found especially in such
regions, in particular families. Studies
we're made of families in mountain
valley in western Maryland. AS many
as possible of the members Of each
family were seen and their degree of
goiter, If any, graded"
The result was to demonstrate that
not one, but two genetical factors were
present and playing their part in de-
velopment Of goiter in this region.
A study of fertility of races in the
United States was reported by Bessie
B. Vessel of Connecticut College, New
London, Conn.
In relative fertility Of different ma
tionalities," she said, there are greater
differences between racial groups than
there are between cities. The British
have the smallest families, while the
Italians rank highest in fertility, espe-
cially If we take into consideration ages
Of mothers"
InfiltratiOn Aids Survival
The president of the association, DR..
Clarence G. Campbell of New York City,
said:
1T is striking. and it is highly signifi-
cant. that small infiltration of a racial
stock that possesses superior powers of
survival can rapidly result in its sup
plantation Of another race"
He gave as examples disappearance
OF Neanderthal man from Europe 20 900
years ago, and substitution in this coun-
try Of white for Indian dominancy.
Permanent progress never will be
made in improving human conditions, :"
he said, until there is a full and open
recognition of variation in human
nature and mentality"
