TWO FACTORS DECIDE
GROWTH OF CHILDREN
Height Is Determined by Heredity;
Environment Also Influences.

PU Science Service
NEW YORK, June 16.-The ply
steal growth Of a child is determined
by neither his heredity nor his en-
vironment acting alone, but by both
factors and the interaction between
them, DR.. Charles B. Davenport told
the meeting of the Eugenics Re
search Association here.
Height is determined by the here
dity of the individual, Two tall par
ents have only tall children, al
though short parents may have tall
children. But the height of tall
child is not attained at uniform
rate of speed; there are spurtS of
growth, one at about 10 or II years
and another at adolescence.
These spurts of growth are in
f1uenced by the chemistry of the
body, DR.. Davenport indicated, and
this in turn may be influenced, at
least slightly, by the environment.
Weight is another example cited
by DR.. Davenport. 1t is the gen.
eral rule that two slender parents
will have slender children. How
ever, the students of nutrition in
sist that food intake is very impor-
tant in determining the weight OF
the child"

HOT? PERHAPS. BUT
SUMMER ISN'T HERE
Official Bow to Be Made
Next Wednesday.
By Science Service
w SHINGTON

~ science SefUlce
WASHINGTON, June 16.--De-
spite the hot weather that most
of the country has experienced in
recent weeks, summer has not made
its debut. That event will take
place on Wednesday, June 81, at
Alp p. M, eastern standard time.
At that moment the sun. which
has been moving northward in the
sky since last December, reaches
its fartheSt north position and
starts moving southwark again. As
Economical convention has taken
this event, called the summer SOL
stice, as the beginning of summer.
Because the sun is SO far north
in the sky, it now rises much earlier,
and sets much later, than at any
other time of year. AS result
countries in the northern hemiS-
phere get much more sunshine than
during other seasons, and this is
part of the reason that we now
have warm weather.
The other reason is that with the
sun rising so much higher in the
sky during the day, the sunshine,
with its heat rays, is much more
concentrated than in winter, when
the rays strike the earth's surface
at more glancing angle. Condi-
tons are reversed in the southern
hemisphere, and there winter be-
gins at the time of the summer SOL
Stice.

POSTMASTER HITS SNAG
Has to Stamp Letters as FurlOugh
Plan Cripples Force.
By United Press

bU CNlt6u PFeSS
WABASH, Ind, June 16.-Presi
dent Hoover didn't figure on Wabash
when he put through his furlong
program for employees, the post
master here has decided.
Under the federal plan no worker
can be on duty more than a certain
number of hours weekly, and must
take long vacations without pay to
keep down department expenses.
Consequently, when the staff here
was cut by illness of Fred Martin, a
clerk, just before the furlough time
for some of the others was due,
things became serious.
An appeal for extra help was
denied because of expense so the
postmaster himself will have to join
the rest and stamp letters.

DOCTORS HOLD
FINAL SESSIONS
OF CONVENTION
Many of Delegates to Go to
Worlds Fair for Med
iCal Week.
BY JULIAN T. BENTLEY

MILWAUKEE, June 16.-FinaI
sessions of the American Medical
ASSOCIATIONS eighty-fourth annual
convention were held here today,
winding up five-day study of the
battle against disease by the ma
tons leading physicians.
Many of the 5000 delegates at
the convention here said they would
go to Chicago next week for Med
'1cal week" at the worlds fair. and to
attend the convention there of the
American Association for the Ad-
Vancement of Science.
In the concluding sectional meet
1ngs today, DR.. Luke Hunt of the
John Mccormick Institute for In
'fectious Diseases, Chicago, described
new discoveries in treatment of
scarlet fever.
Inc disease, DR.. Hunt reported,
is much less severe and complica-
lions are less likely to develop if
scarlet fever antitoxin is given
within the first two days after i'll
ness appears.
In study of 1000 cases, DR.. Hunt
said, anti-toxin was administered to
300 in the first two days, resulting
in immediate decline in fever and
fading of rash
A strange disease called myas-
-thenia gravis, which causes weak
ness of muscles in extremities and
muscles Of degutition Swallowing
were described by one of it's victims,
DR.. Harriet Edgeworth of Tuscon,
Ariz.
DR.. Edgeworth, watching progress
OF the disease in herself with elm
lcal interest, she said she apparently
had stopped its progress. AS treat
ment she said ephedrine, commonly
used in treatment of sinus injec-
'tions, was employed. Glycine or
-gelatine sugar also is effective, she
said
An operation in which one
quarter of a young woman's brain
was removed, necessitated by a
.tumor, was described by DR.. James
Gardner of Cleveland. This delicate
operation, DR.. Gardner said, has
been performed only few times.
Alcohol Impaires Vision
Although the right cerebral hemi-
sphere of the brain was cut away,
the patient did not lose her sight,
speech, intellect or locomotion, and
made satisfactory recovery, DR..
Gardner reported. She suffered
complete paralysis of the left arm
and partial paralysis of the left leg,
but sixteen months later was able
to walk unassisted, the physician
said.
Prolonged use of tobacco or alco-
hol will impair vision and make
close work of the eyes impossible,
DIR. Arthur Yudkin of Yale univer-
-sity told the physicians. Cod liver
oil and vitamin A concentrate are
effective as remedies, DR.. Yudkin
said.
A new method of relieving pain
was reported by DR.. Loyal Davis of
Northwestern university medical
school-simply clipping the nerves
that carry the pain sensations.

Redistribution in the AAA
Raises Pay for Scores

Sores of comptometer operators,
working under temporary Civil
Service status in the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, have
been raised from a basic salary
of $3.50 a year to $1,440 a year
as a result of Redistribution
of employees throughout the or
ganization.
This was revealed today by
AAA officials, in reporting that
many other low-salaried workers
have been given raises because
their efficiency under actual
working conditions has resulted
in their being placed in supervi-
sorry positions over fellow-workers
with whom they were originally
on the same footing.
Several clerks in the contract

1,400 temporary workers, first
hired at salaries ranging from
$1,260 to $1,440 a year, have of.

HUNTERS USING
MORE BLINDS

Hunters in Prince Georges
County are using more blinds
than ever.
A new supply of licenses had
to be ordered yesterday by the
office of the clerk of the Circuit
Court in Upper Marlboro when
the original supply of rs was sold
out. The demand has been much
greater for other types of Ii
censes too, it is said.
More than $5,40O has been col
lected by the county for licenses
to date, with the largest revenue
derived from the sale of 2,945
resident licenses at $125 each.
Blind licenses are $3.50 and non
resident licenses $3.50.
Hunters are turning to blinds,
said Game Warden James Rog-
ers, because they are realizing
what sport it is along the Prince
Georges streams. Ducks are more
plentiful for this time Of year,
too.

FAIRGROUNDS
Protest to Farley Demands
Democratic Woman Re-
place Miss Baker

Appointment of a Democratic
woman to replace Miss Sybil
Baker as director of Fairgrounds
for the District was being sought
today.
It was learned on reliable au-
thority that one member of the
Senate has written to Postmaster
General James A. Farley protest.
ing the fact that Miss Baker has
been kept in office.
She Aids G. O.P.
The letter, it is understood, was
accompanied by newspaper
clipping which stated that Miss
Baker was to pour tea" at a
gathering of Republican women.
The Senator wrote the letter
some time ago, prior to appoint
ment Of the two new civilian Dis
trict Commissioners.
With the new Commissioners
in office, the post is being more
vigorously contested, it was
learned, in the hope that the Dem
ocratic man would urge the ap-
pointment of a Democratic woman
to fill the job.
Job Is AppOintive
The Director of Fairgrounds is
an appointive position. Miss Baker
formerly was director Of the Com

ROBINS FLATLY.
REFUSES To
ARREST 8
Asks Attorney General to
Come Down and Take Men
Into Custody Himself

Openly defying William P. Lane,
gr.. Maryland's attorney general.
States Attorney John B. Robins.
OF Princess Anne, has refused to
order the arrest of nine alleged
ringleaders in the Armwood lynch
ing.
Instead, Robins announced that
he will call a special session Of the
grand jury at Crisfield next week
consider evidence gathered by
the attorney general.
Mr.. Lane had suggested that the
nine men be taken into custody
and arraigned before magistrate
on a charge of murder.
Lane Refuses
This was countered by Robins
with the suggestion that Lane
come down and take the men into
custody himself.
The attorney general declined
to do this, saying that he has no
intention of personally prose ut
Ing the case, pointing out that
this is the work Of the States at
torney.
In reply to Robins demand
that he appear as a witness be-
fore the grand jury and give
them the evidence he has, Mr..
Lane pointed out that he doubts
II this would be legal.
Fears Mob Action
In addition, he said, he is now
busy preparing for the special
session of the legislature next
week which will consider liquor
control legislation and other
emergency measures and has not
the time to devote to the lynching
inquiry.
Robins asserted that if the nine
suspects were to be arrested he
feared mob would storm the
Jail and liberate them.
Names of the nine suspects
were learned by State troopers
who were on guard at the jail
last month when mob stormed
it, took out George Armwood, col
ored attack suspect, hanged him
and burned his body, and from
Baltimore detectives who were
assigned to the case by Mr.. Lane.

PRICE
ASKED ON MILK
FOR SCHOOLS
Preced ent Established in
Other Cities Expected To
Be Followed Here

Possibility that the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
may demand that low prices be
set for milk sold in schools here
under the proposed Washington
milk marketing agreement arose
today as result of similar action
in two existing codes.
Amendments made today by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
to pacts now in operation in the
Baltimore and Philadelphia areas
provide that school milk shall be
sold at prices lower than the es-
tablished schedule.
At the suggestion Of distrib-
utors in the territories affected,
Secretary Wallace ordered that
grade A milk shall sell for 3h
cents instead Of AZ cents in
Philadelphia schools, and for 3
cents instead of 3H2 cents in Bal
timore schools.
No provision for price differ
entails between milk distributed
to the public and that sent to
schools and charitable institu-
tions is included in the agree
ment for this area now pending
with the AAA.
Internal warfare among Off
Gals of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration broke out
today over a decision to call two
grocery chain-store organizations
on the carpet for alleged viola
tions of the Philadelphia milk
agreement.
The controversy is over citing
the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Co. and the American Stores Co.
to "Show cause why their licenses
to distribute milk in the Phila-
delphia sales area should not be
suspended" The order states
that "both stores have violated
the retail price schedules"
DiSgruntled officials say the
chains have been paying farmers
the full prices set by the Phiia-
delphia pact, but have dropped
the retail price one cent below
the established scale, while milk
trust" distributors, claimed to be
paying unlawful low prices to
farmers but maintaining the fixed
retail schedule, are not being in
vestigated or charged with vio-
lationS.
