The congress, with about 100 foreign

since 1921.

In Washington's lineage the chart

down to George Washington Parke,

Balls and Lees comprise the Washing

to Robert De Wessyngton in 1924.
Because OF the tradition of Lincoln's

Thomas A. Edison" says the chart,
twas a rare combination of superior
natural traits which in different po-
tenCies and different combinations are
found scattered among his near kin.
''The frequency of the most superior
of Thomas Edison's characteristic
capacities among his near kin measures
the probability of another Edison ap-
pearing in this family stock"
This probability Is infrequent COM
pared with another. Charles Darwin,
whose family tree appears opposite Edi-
sons. This family-a composite OF
Darwins, Cations and Wedgewoods-
produced A notable men in 3l6 years,
one every seven years. In the Edison

of one each 26 years.

The hereditary mechanisns of these
