The conditions included the FOL

defense budget by 6,0OO,OOO,OOO
francs 1924 .000. .OOO): creation OF

CHILD REVEALS RACE HISTORY

COLD SPRING HARBOR. N. Y.
September 19.-The developing child
reveals the history of the race.
The student of human heredity Is
interested in the development Of chill
grow. grad graduaIiy y reveal e the the family @ traits
This study has to be an individual
one because children differ In the way
they grow, depending upon the kinds
of determinerS OF growth and develop
ment of genes, which they carry.
Common to all normal development
of each child is tendency to recapitu-
late in his own body a series OF re-
markable phases which have no signifl-
canoe for his own functioning, but pro-
vide only a scaffolding. as it were, by
aid of which the later stages of the
body are to develop. The embryonic
gill-arches are an example.
Comparison With Primates.
The remarkable thing about this
scafTolding, however, is that the same
sort of scaffolding is used, not only for
all normally developing children. but
also for the lower prinates. and. in
deed, for mammals and the lower YER
tebrates. However. in the lower YER
tebrates this scaffolding is the final,
permanent structure. In other words,
the child welfare builds upon the re-
mains of an earlier stage of the race.
This scaffolding often gives us a
clue to the stages through which man
has passed in his evolutionary history

Thus, the child before birth grows a
tail. Its feet are fiat and broad, like
those of the anthropid apes. The great
toe is so placed and has such attach
ments that 1t could be readily turned
under the sole of the foot, as happens
in apes and in the thumb Of the hand
of the grown child.
In his growth after birth the child
expresses racial and family charac-
teristics. A slow growth results in
smaller individuals, like those of South
ern Europe, while a greater velocity Of
growth, doubtless due to a greater &C.
tivity of the pituitary gland, produces
tall persons, like the Scotch Highland
ers and the Scandinavians.
Facial Features Analysed.
The form of facial features work out
their racial destiny, whether it IS the
concave nose found in parts of Switzer-
land or the convex nose of the Syrians,

this section are expected to be resumed

the strike was settled four months ago.
The basis for the Statewide settle
ment was 10-point peace plan" sub

changes 1t calls for a wage scale o1
80 cents a ton for machine mined coal
and 1928 a day for laborers. 1t stipu.
lates there shall be no discrimination

men or the bridgeless nose of the
southern Chinese.
The organs of the skin take on the
family form and color. The nervous
system takes on some Of its family
characteristics. The child may show
special aptitudes in some kind of me-
chanics, in some form Of art, or in the
world Of letters. Each has his family
gift; family heirloom, to be treasured
and utilized to the utmost and passed
on intact to later generations.
The eugenicist Is alarmed by the
growth of the idea that each child
has the same potentIalities as any
other. Interesting and full of hope
as such q view may be, 1t is so COM
pletely discordant with the facts that
the strict adherence to, and practical
application of, this docrine can only
yield eventual ruin to the race.

CH|LE'S ECONOMIC
DRIVE SPEEDED
Government Hopes to Have

Before Elections.

SANTIAGO, Chile, September 10
The government is intensifylng its ell
forts to have the nation in good eco
nomic condition before the OCTOBER 81
elections, in which voters will select
delegates to a convention which will
write a new Socialistic constitution.
Continuing the government program,
which previously had set September 10
as the approximate date for the elimi-
nation of unemployment in Chile,
President Carlos Davila has declared
war ON all economic fronts against
the crisis"
Government Backs Campaign.
BY a campaign of propaganda, ad-
yertising, motion picture films and
mass meetings, the government expects
to cut down unemployment to a mini
mum, increase production to a figure
approximating good times and boil
ster public confidence in the peso, the
latter an admittedly huge task.
Labor Minister Juan Rosetti, one OF
the Presidents closest advisers. has in
itiated a drive for higher salaries for
employees of all classes.
In itself, the move is viewed as an
official admission that the peso has
slumped so far that present wages are

cost of living.
Cabinet Bucks Speculation.
The entire cabinet is assisting the
new price control board in an endeavor
to eliminate speculation in prime ne
CeSSitieS. There has been some hoard
ing by middlemen, and unless stocks
are released there are indications they
may be seized. Daily prices for meats,
bread and other foodstuffs are set by
the board
The mint has placed in circulation
several hundred thousand of the new
1-peso piece Much smaller than the
old peso, and containing far less silver,
this new coin is designed to eliminate
boarding of silver money, for, intrin-
sically, 1t is worth little.
HurdredS of thousands of the old
heavy silver peso are out Of circula-
tion, because they are of higher intrin-
sic value than the present street rating
of the official peso.
Exchange Furnished Problem.
A difficult problem is solving the ex
change question. So little foreign
exchange is available that imported
prime necessities cannot be obtained ex-
cept by barter or by cutting into what
gold reserve the Central Bank still
holds
Some wheat has been purchased out
right in Argentina, but the government
wants to exchange wines, nitrate and
copper hereafter for all imported
products.

IN Z STATEMENTS
Man and Woman Tell Prince
Georges Police His Story
of Staying Role.
By a star Correspondent OF The Star.

BY staff Correspondent OF The Star
UPPER MARLBORO. Md, February
Armed with two signed statements
alleging Temple BiggS, Camp Springs,
Md. farmer, is familiar with the de-
tails Of the murder of Barney Mcbride
and helped dispose of the mans body,
Prince Georges County authorities plan
to quiz the man again today in an ef-
fort to solve the 10-year-old murder
mystery.
The statements were obtained by
Sheriff w. Curtis Hopkins and Deputy
Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison yesterday
from Mrs. Lily H Pumphrey of Oxon
Hill district and Leo Hazel Of Brad
bury Heights.
$500 Pay Reported.
They state Biggs told them on vari-
GUS occasions that he was an eyewit-
ness to the killing of Mcbride and
helped take the mans body to a cul-
vert. where it was found August 10,
1922. The woman'S statement says
BiggS told her he received $500 for
assisting in the removal Of the body.
Il have known Temple BiggS for sew
eral years" Mrs Humphreys statement
says About two years ago he first
told me about the murder Of Barney
Georges County
"Biggs said Mcbride. an Oklahoma
oil man, frequently visited that road
house. He was there about three nights
before his murder. On August 10, 1922,
he came there early in the evening. He
gambled and won all the money, Biggs
said He even broke the proprietor.
Seeing Mcbride with all the money,
several men planned to rob him after
most of the patrons had left"
The statement then describes the
manner in which Mcbride was beaten
and stabbed. "Biggs said Mcbride bled
so much from his many wounds the
men got a burlap bag and put it over
his head" Mrs. Pumphrey continued
Later arrangements were made with
two men to dispose of the body"
A truck was obtained, the statement
says, and McBride's body hauled down
the Meadows road and thrown out be-
side a culvert. The truck was so bloody
it was driven into woods and burned
according to the statement.
Mrs Humphreys statement declares
Biggs would not tell her where the
truck was burned, but said he could
show her the pieces Of iron that re-
main.
The woman says in her statement
that she often thought she should tell
police what BiggS had told her, but was
afraid
HazeIs Story Comedies.
Similar facts were contained in the
statement of Hazel who formerly
worked with Biggs. Hazel declares
BiggS told him he could not get the
Mcbride murder off his mind, nor for
get the sound the body made as it was
thrown into the culvert
Both statements were given to the
authorities yesterday afternoon at the
county jail here. where Biggs is being
held as an accessory to the murder.
The prisoner denies all knowledge of
the circumstances surrounding Nc
Brides death, and is reported TO have
said he never heard" of the allega-
tions set forth in the two signed state
