NEW YORK-Going to school is
as much fun as going to a circus.
That Is. II you are having such a
good time that you don't know that
you are being educated.
The Children's Museum. at Brook
Ign, founded 20 years ago. has prov
ed this theory. 1t set out TO make
education irresistible. Today child

sionS that house the museum just
as eagerly as they ever were TO a
big white tent where a clown band
plays.
During the month of July So
600 Children came TO the museum.
One day 5000 flocked in lust as
though a Piped Piper played a magic
tune. Nobody told them to come.
They wanted TO do 1t.
The Child-enS Museum, which
Is under the curatorship of Miss
Anna Billings Gallup. noted natural
scientist. makes a game out of every
thing the children do. There are 25
regular staff members. assisted re-
Gently by Is others, who conduct
the playWOTk.
Clean Hands Required.
There is only one law n the mu-
scum. All hands must be 1.ean. One
member OF the staff watches at the
entrance. and washes every grimy
hand held out for inspection.
Anybody may play any place. No
body cares. But nearly everyone be-
gins in she room which traces civili-
zation by means OF pictorial history.
All along the wall there are nina

important that history books talk
about.

ciple also for several Identical twins.
studied by others; while such con-
dition can never be found in twins of
different sexes, nor in twins of the
same sex bearing evidence for their
being fraternal twins. Thus, weseem
to be justified by saying: Such twins
are identical twins in which the same
hands or feet Of different individuals
are more alike than the different
hands or feet Of the same individual"
"But this statement must not be
taken as involving the notion also that,
if the former resemblance is less than
the latter resemblance, the given twins
are fraternal, since there are some
twins which are apparently identical
and yet do not show the condition
mentioned above. Anyway, this will
probably serve as criterion for iden-
tifying some identical twins.
"Some writer's on twins and twin
ming seem to hold the view that the
identical twins are comparable with
the right and left halves Of the body
of one person. The view could not be
quite correct, should it imply that the
resemblance between the identical
twins is in principle equal to the re-
semblance between the right and left
halves Of one person. AS matter of
fact, speaking generally, the resem-
blance between the identical twins is
more than that between the halves of
one person. Aside from the fact that
the viscera shows a marked asym-
metry even among identical twins,
such twins have the same defect or
abnormality on the same side of the
body. Moreover as mentioned above,
the hands or feet of the same side of
different twins show closer resem-
blance than the two hands or feet of
the same individual"
But how does science account for
twins, anyway? No one has ventured
a positive answer, but it is generally
believed that the process which takes
place to produce twins is as follows:
The ovum, single cell, is fortified,
and thereupon begins to divide-al-
ways by twos-into many cells. Grad
ually these are differentiated into
three types and form themselves into
layers in the form Of a sphere, the
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-02-27

blastosphere. Up to this point the
process is normal. Fer some reason
not known, however, the blastosphere
next begins to split. 1t is thought
that this il possibly due to the fact
that the cells on the inner layer ex-
pand much more rapidly than those
on the outer and, naturally, the outer
layer bursts, as does football blad-
der when it is blown up too tightly.
When the split is complete the sides
of the two split portions are Joined
together and we have two distinct
blastopheres, which. proceed to form
identical individuals.
Since the division is always by twos
and it is the opinion of Dean Hoyatio Fl.
Newman of the University Of Chicago,
author of 1.-THE Physiology of Twin
ming" and 1.-THE Biology of Twins"
which are regarded as standard refer
ence works on the subject, that it is
thus obvious that triplets can never
be identical. Two of the children may
be duplicates and the third merely a
fraternal type, the result of the ferti-
lization of a second ovum. 1t is pos
sible, however, for bankruptcies to be
two sets of Identical twins, Doctor
Newman holds. In such instances the
two blastospheres, that resulted from
the original split, in their turn divided.
The famous German case, partly Leg
endary and partly substantiated by
records of the time, of the woman who
gave birth to eight children at one
time, is also recalled. In this instance
so rare that it is mentioned in all
reference works on biological anom-
alies-the four blastospheres again
divided to form eight. An extremely
vital reproductive cell may survive
two divisions and four normal chill
dren result.
Some of the most important evil
dence as to the nature mode of sex
determination and much additional
light on the age-old dispute over the
relative Importance of heredity and
environment comes from a study of
identical" twins who have been
adopted in infancy by different fam
lilies, according to Dean Newman who
has had charge of study made by the
University of Chicago, of orphans
adopted into private homes. Among
the 800 children studied were so sets
of twins. OF this number the cases of
two were particulrly Interestingly
that of Eleanor and Georgiana Kelly.
Eleanor had been adopted when she
was two years old, Georgiana at
eighteen months. Both had grown up
in environments in many respects en-
tirely different. And yet they are as
nearly alike as they could be, not only
in appearance but in the matter of
mental drives and impulses as well.
In contrast to the Kelly twins, there
is the case of Alice and Olive Redman,
also Identical twins studied and OBJ
served by Doctor Newman and his as
sistants. Alice and Olive. born in
London, were separated from each 9TH
er, through adoption, for more than
ten years. Not long ago, they were
reunited in Oshawa, near Toronto,
Canada.
The Redman girls received about
the same amount and kind of educa-
tion. they are remarkably alike phys
ically, and they apparently have the
same interests and tastes. But there
is a vast difference in the mental de-
velopments Of the girls

"A Diego, residents of Imperial Valley

cordlng to numerous local residents who
are spending vacations or making week
end trips to the coast city.
Just now the big attraction at San
Diego, is of course, its beaches. From
La Jolla on the north, to Coronado on
the south, each beach has its full quota
of valley residents. In some places
they are so numerous that it is almost

Summer visitors from far distances are
only small minority, and except on
week-ends the beaches do not get much
support from San Diegans.
There is no way of estimating what
the presence of Imperial Valley folks
means to San Diego in dollars and cents,
but there is no doubt that we are con-
tributing literally to the coast city. The
money spent for rent, food, clothing and
luXuries must run into a goodly sum
each month, and is undoubtedly well
coined by San Diego merchants.
We do not believe those who are spend
ing vacation in the coast resorts are
sighting their home town merchants.
They have purchased heavily from local
merchants before leaving for the sum-
mer, and only those things which they
need are purchased on the coast. But

as Jingle pretended to eat the gum

After a while the three little rab-
bit girls became tired of playing

forest and play tag. But Bunty
didn't want to leave her store all
alone.

here and be in your play store and
at the same time, go off in the

trees "Unkie Wig" called Bunty,

Uncle Wiggily, twinkling his pink

And don't let anybody eat up

Bunty.
Certainly not" promised Mr.
Longears. So he sat down near the
counter Of the play store. Bunty,
Jingle and Jangle ran off to have
fun and pretty soon Uncle Wiggily
fell asleep. And then, all of a sud-

and a strange customer came to-

but it was plenty warm, and Ruth
erford wiped stray beads OF perspi-
ration from his forehead.
1t must have been the instinct of
railroad copper that made him
stop and look into that supposedly
deserted box car. Two grimy faces
peered back with painfully sur
prised expression. Rutherford was
hardly less surprised. An arrest
was within his hands.
| A wild chase through the rocks
and cacti was averted when the two
! faces, and their appended bodies
surrendered meekly. With true de-
tective instinct, Rutherford glanced
over the catch. One OF the first
| Things he noticed was they had
three shirts.
/ Three shirts are too many for two
/ persons and Rutherford became
suspicious anew. The boys. both II
years old, were taken to the two
room inland jail, along with the
extra dirty shirt. Annabelle, pei
lizard of the jail force, scurried to
cover at sight of the desperate looks
on the faces OF Verlin Ptomey and
Richard Mable, the prisoners.
First Rutherford rested from his
exertions. Then he called several
places on the telephone, and sure
enough, found the boys had stolen
that shirt and other clothes in Col
ton, and consequently are wanted
in Cotton for alleged theft.
So Rutherford directed his assis-
tant to call the sheriff's office ir

call. No details were given. He ano

ROTARIANS ENJOY
TALE OF TRAVELS
BY LEO MADDEN

Interesting tales Of adventure on
the high sea and in all sorts of out
of the way places in various corners
of the world, formed an interesting
program for the Rotary meeting
yesterday as Leo Madden, manager
of the Cramer Bakery, told his life's
history.
Unknown to any of his fellow Ro-
tarians, Madden has been quite a
traveller and made two trips around
the world before he was 26 years
old. His first trip took him 81
months and was made under the
auspices of a New York newspaper,
on condition that he pay no trans
portation in his travels.
Recounting one of the high spots
of his trip Madden told OF being
lashed to the mast of a tramp
steamer, at his own request. for 10
hours, during a typhoon in the Chi
ma Sea. He did the perilous stunt
merely to see what effect the storm
would have on a u. S. destroyer
which was preceding his ship, and
toiu iilS iSlciielo tlIdI lie saw allC
felt plenty.
Interesting experiences in Russia
| China, Australia. South America
| England and numerous othel
places, held the undivided attention
of his listeners.
If the history of Madden, a new
Rotarian, IS criterion of those K
be expected from other new mem
bers, the club is in for some inter
esting talks, according to Presiden
Ray Edgar, who presided at tn,
meeting.

centage of people here, who for some
reason or other, believed Imperial Valley
was indebted to San Diego. As matter
of fact, the shoe is on the other foot.
Not only in the summer, but throughout
the year, San Diego gets many Imperial
Valley dollars.
We are not kicking about this fact, but
we are stating it. The opportunity to
get relief from our summer weather at
San Diego's fine beaches is worth every
cent it costs. We mention it merely to
point out that instead of being under
compliment to San Diego, our coast
neighbor is really indebted to US.
