CATHODE RAYS

SUPER-RACE
Animal Experiments Show
Giants or DWarfs Can
Be Determined

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. II.
UN.S.). - Development of a
new race of per-humans, ply
sically perfect and untainted
with mental disease, was envi-
stoned today by f. L. Manning,
research engineer, in an adj
dress before the Philadelphia
section of the American Instl-
tute of Electrical Engineers.
He said it had been determined
that heredity may definitely be
changed by the use of Cathode
Rays, x-rays, or both. Although
It has not been possible TO guide
the changes with mathematical
precision, Manning added, expert
ments with plants and small ami
mails have resulted in the produc-
ton of both dwarfs and giants.
He said:
Fifty per cent of our at
tempts to produce dwarfs or
giants have been successful, but
the influence we have exerted
over other characteristics has
thus far been rather hit-Or-miSs.
at is not impossible, however,
that some day we may be able
to eliminate entirely the phySi-
cal or mental defective by the
use of the rays, thus eliminating
the huge cost to the public of
maintaining aSylums and refu-
geS for them, as well as to better
social conditions by breeding a
race of nearly perfect humans"
Experiments with the rays also
have been successful in changing
physical characteristics such as
coloring and size.

largely impervious to the bad after
