TOXIC, August 22.-Japan's Imperial
Diet convened today in extraordinary
session for the executive purpose of
passing relief measures and with ex-
traordinary precautions being taken to
keep the members cool. Conveniently
placed on the floor and in the galleries
were 300 cakes of ice, each of 130
pounds, on which members could soak
their handkerchief to cool their throb-
bling brcws or rest their revered fore
heads. AS the session progressed, heat
ed heads melted oval holes on the sides
OF each dripping pylon.
In addition to 110 sergeants at arms,
300 uniformed policemen were inside

Mrs. Thaden showed some concern

asked Casey Jones to take the matter

She also requested that she be given

years. is perhaps the most momentous
social and biological phenomenon of our
time, and it is impossible to contemplate
without alarm the effect of its probable
development on the future of the race.
Two notorious feeble-minded Ameri-
can families whose relief ultimately
cost the Government $4,000, 600 an
nually could have been sterilized at the
beginning for $3.50.
Thus Theodore Russell Robie, M D.,
Of the Essex County Mental Hygiene
Clinic. pointed out an American prob
lem today to the Congress.
There are 100000 to 1000, 900
mentally deficient in the United
States" he said, "and 100000 men,
tally below average intelligence.
The seemingly insignificant per
cent mental deficients will multiply
three and one-half times while superior
population goes backward in reproduc-
ton"
Brides in the Almanach de Gotha,
peerage bluebook. have more children
! than those not therein.
These statistics were given by Prof.
Franco Savorgnan to the congress in a
paper submitted by mail.
The Almanach brides, he said. show
childless percentage of only 1877
against 26.a for others. A big factor is
voluntary restriction by non-Almanach
brides.
In royal families he finds boys pre-
dominate In the ratio OF 110 to every
100 girls born.
Linked With Mentality.
A strange link between shoulder
blade shape and mental ability will be
shown for the first time at the opening
of the Third International Congress Of
Eugenics here tomorrow.
The telltale shapes are the contours
of the inner edges of the blades paral-
leling the spine. There are three Of
them convex. straight and concave.
Convex edges bulge inward toward the
spine, straight ones are parallel with
it, and concave curve away like saucerS
on edge.
Convexity of both blades denotes the
higher mental qualities. The exhibits
to demonstrate this are shown by DR..
w. W. Graves. director of the depart
ment OF mental and nervous diseases Of
the ST. Louis University School Of
Medicine. They apply only TO gross
numbers: any individual may be an
exception.
The intelligence studies grew out Of
previous discoveries, also shown here,
that persons having both blades convex
live longer and are more resistant to
disease. This health curve In shoulders
is shown In several thousand persons.
Cancer Heredity Traced.
Heredity in cancer is shown in an
exhibit by the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington. genetics record office, di-
, rected by DR.. Harry H. Laughlin.
Study of many families shows that
some are strongly cancer esistant"
while others have cancerouS tendencies.
There seems to be some rule governing
this tendency, DR.. Laughlin states,
but at present only the tendency Is
known and efforts are being made to
learn what the rule is.

created a commission of 18 members
which will hereafter look after the
Peiping area.
This northern area which borders on
Jehol and Manchuria is the source of
pronounced uneaSinesS to Marking be-
cause of the presence of japanese air
force and thousands of japanese troops
within 200 miles of Peiping and Tient-
sin: Furthermore Chang Hsiao-Liang
the deposed viceroy Of Manchuria and
arch-enemy of the Japanese, focused
the attention of Toxic on Peiping in
an uncomfortable manner.
The Kuomintang or Nationalist party
processes great dislike for warlords, but
it has found Chang Hsiao-Liang and
Chang Kai-Shek very necessary IN
keeping lesser military leaders in check,
and Nanking dispatches indicate that
both these men probably will be repre-
sented by lieutenants on the commits
sion of l8 which will hereafter try to
keep peace in North China.
In other words Chang and Chang
Kai-Shek. whose alliance gave Marking
control of North China three years ago,
are still the backbone of ChinaS fight
ing forces. but Chang has been SCREEN
ed by a commission to avoid japanese
sharp shooting.
Wang Ching-Wei and other Kuomin-
tang leaders, who pretend to be carry
ing out Sun Yat-Sens principles for
the political education of the public
/ and the elimination of military men
from the government, have repeatedly
snubbed Chang Kai-Shek and forced

Parliament may reaSsemble earlier
than october 27. the scheduled date:
H B. Lees-Smith, Labor member OF
Parliament, attacked the Ottawa agree
ments. asserting world trade is more
important to Britain than trade With
the dominions. Every financial and In
dustrial interest was represented at
Ottawa, in the Hobbies, but the British
people were not represented, he SAID,
and so they must pay food taxes.
Editorial comment on the conference
in London's morning newspapers 1ol-
lowed the lines of their views on free
trade versus the preference system.
The Times congratulates the dele.
gates on the great work achieved and
the firm foundation laid for future
progress" The Post, Telegraph, Mail
and Express are equally laudatory, but
show mild regret that more was not
accomplished.

ILLINOIS MINES SUFFER.
Industry's Plans to Increase Revenues
Checked.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. August % t4).-
The Illinois coal industry's bid for a
stake of s6O,oO0 900 year in increased
revenues today faced temporary stale
mate as striking miners planned to ex-
tend operations into counties where pits
still were working.
That amount, leaders in the industry
estimated, represents what the mines
have lost through importation into
Illinois and nearby States of cheaply
produced coal from Eastern fields.
Idle shafts and cordons OF pickets
marked the path Of the army of strik-
ing miners, abcut 10000 strong, which
moved through Christian County last
week successfully persuading fellow
workers to drop pick and shovel in pro-
test against the IS daily wage scale.
The Peabody Coal Co, however, said
1t believed If outsiders left workmen
alone, the mines soon would be oper-
ating again.
Dan McGill. Springfield strike leader,
said the strikers who seek return OF the
previous $6l0 wage would seek re-
cruits through peaceful means, working
by committees to convert workers to
their cause. There will be no i'm
mediate invasions Of operating fields by
the strikers, he said.

JEHOL THRUST FORMIDABLE.
Peiping Dispatches Say japanese Fight
ing Is on Wide Area.

Shanghai, August % P,-Chinese
dispatches from Peiping and other
North China points today said the jap
anese forces in Manchuria had launched
a strong military thrust into Jehol, the
province that borders on China proper
The dispatches said fighting was 60
ing on along a broad portion" OF the
Jehol eastern border, with the Chinese
falling back before Japanese artillery,
airplanes and machine guns.
japanese bombing planes were re-
ported as spreading terror among the
border populace, which was streaming
into the open country seeking safety.
Foreign dispatches from North China
were more conservative and told OF
sporadic fighting along the Jehol east
ern border. 1t was not clear whether
the Japanese were launching a cam
paign to occupy Jehol or whether they
were merely trying to free Gonshirc
Ishimoto. a kidnapped former japanese
army officer.

Y VALLEY STREAM, N Y, August
22-Mrs. Frances Marsalis and
" Mrs. Louise Thaden considered
a plan today which might nullify
their hard-won endurance fight
record.
With 100 hours in the air to their
credit. a margin OF 81 hours over the
previous record, they took under con-
sideration a suggestion that they fly to
the national air show in Cleveland be-
fore landing.
The rules for endurance flights de-
mand that the plane land at the same
field from which it took off, so If the
woman flyers should be forced to land
between here and Cleveland their more
than a week in the air would all go for
nothing and the old 123-hour record of
Bobby Trout and Edna May Cooper
would still stand.
Mrs. Marsalis and Mrs. Thaden drop
ped a note to Casey Jones, manager OF
Curtiss Field, saying they were enter
tanning the suggestion to go to Cleve-
land in their endurance stride and would
let him know their decision this after
noon.
