~ TRCNG delegatOnS from lne
Monarch Athletic Club of
Canada, the German Amer
lean Club of New York and
the Meadowbrook outfit Of Philadel-
phia, all winners of many titles, are
coming to Washington Saturday bent
upon lifting team honors in The
Stars fourth annual national A. A. U.
marathon, but the favorite will be the
United Shoe Machinery Athletic As
ISOLATION of Beverly, Mass.
The Machinists will be the defend
ing champions and, according to word
from their pilot, Melvin F. Reid, have
been in hard training for weeks de-
termined to cling to the title.
Representing the Beverly club will
be Clarence Lee Sabine, John Albert
Kula, George L. Durgin, Roy E. KIM
ball, Walter Knapp Ray, Gordon
Armstrong Norman and Cecil Ray
mond Hill
With these runners United Shoe
Machinery captured the team prize
in the classic Boston Patriots day
race on April 10 in decisive style, but
likely will find the competition sitter
here. The German American Club
was unable to present its strongest
array due to the absence of Bill
Steiner, who was in Palestine, where
he won the Jewish Olympics mara
thon, and Mel Porter, who was I'M
able 10 get into shape because OF
underground work in compressed air.
MOnarchs Weren't There.
NOR did the Machinists have to
contend with the Monarchs OF
Toronto who twice have won the
team championship here. The Mon
archs remained out of the Boston race
in order to afford trip to the Amer
lean Capital
The competition for entrants in
distance runs is almost as keen as
the college hunt for foot ball players.
On or about June l will be held half
a dozen big events east of the Mis-
sissippi and many of the barriers are
undecided which to enter. Because
they were unable to lure some of The
East's topnotchers, promoters of a
marathon at San Diego. who offered
TO pay all expenses of the tranScon-
tlnental journey, have postponed their
event from June l to June 80.
Several entrants in The Stars race
passed up the coast affair at first, but
now will be able to compete in both
contests. Notable among those ex-
pected to visit San Diego is Pat Dengis
Of Baltimore, who likely will be a CO.
favorite with the defending champ,
Dave Komonen, Finn, here next Sat-
urday.
Dengis is in prime condition. He
visited here Yesterday and watched a
number of runners work out over the
Mount Vernon Boulevard. He ran %
miles the day before in fast time.

DATENTS have been issued for 116 plants since
l. Uncle Sam decided in 1880 that new plants we're
botanical inventions and could be included under
the scope of the patent laws.
For 40 years. the present patent laws have been
in operation and during that time 1,75000O patents
have been issued. But it was not until May 3d. 1890,
that President Hoover signed the bill to amend the
patent laws to extend their protection to one who

named THE New Dawn"
Of the first so patents issued, about one-third
applied to improved fruits and berries. The res;
applied mainly to flowers, chiefly roses. Some climb
ing roses have been patented but most of the patents
are for hybrid-tea shrub forms
One patent is for an improved mushroom, another
for an evergreen barberry shrub.

that time, plant improvements could be brought
about only by selection"
selection" meant that only the seeds Of the
choicest fruits or gains were preserved for planting
the next year. When grating was done only
branches from the finest trees were used. BY this
system the excellence Of plants was maintained and
certain improvements attained. Obviously the sue

ment of the plant breeder
Among the achievements Of this type of work
have been the Baldwin apple and the Bartlett pear.
DROGRESS in plant breeding came at swifter
rate once the plant breeders set out to produce
hyorlds by putting the pollen of one plant on the
stigma OF another. This is what is meant by hy-

even the most radical expression there will never be
a convenient halting place This has been proven
in other countries. Hiters first drive was against
the Communists. When he had torn away all their
civil liberties ne began to pick on the Socialists and
after them the liberals. Presently he needed no ex

It would be ridiculous to say that America has

to speak their minds even when the things they
uttered were highly unpopular. To the vast num-

- rANY an old-tirne novelist and dramatist created
nj an absorbing plot by presupposing that every
family which ShamefaCedly admitted that It included
a drunkard carried with it a hereditary strain OF
drunkenness.
Modern scientific students of heredity have come
TO a different conclusion. one of these specialists
saws that We are not justified in drawing conclu-
siOnS concerning men from experiments that nave
been made rate IN relationship 10 the aahnlSlIa-
tion Of alcohol
This is particularly the case since the doSages
Of alcohol given 10 the rats surpaSs any possible
consumption by human beings.
In one series Of experiments. mice were intoxi-
Gated with alcohol and the experiments were car
ried ont through succeeding generations OF mice
until S20 600 had been used
In many cases the mice became so completely
intoxicated that they were eaten by the mice which
were not intoxicated with which they were supposed
to mate.
NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the habits
~ Of human beings according 10 scientist,
resemble IN many ways those Of mice, this Situa-
ton is certainly never met with among humanity.
II IS Of course necessary TO distinguish between
hereditary influences and envronmental influences.
The characters studied in TIE experiments with mice
are not characters which can easily be studied from
the point Of view Of heredity.
Even though il can be shown that the taking
Of alcohol through repeated generations Of mice
tends 10 lower their fertility and raise their death
rates this does not prove that the effects Of alcohol
are hereditary.
Certainly a constant state Of intoxcation in the
female will lower her fertility. but this will not
necessarily lower the fertility OF the offspring.
TN relationship to such questions, it i important
i 10 bear in mind that We are greatly influenced
bv our environment. II has been said that fat
persons ere likely 10 have fat children because they
eat TOO much and the children initiate their parents
This is obviously an inyironmental influence and not
hereditary.
The conditions existing in families in which one
OF the parents is a chronic alcoholic such as to
cause a lower resistance 10 temptations IN general
among the children
In judging such cases Of apparent heredty Of
alcoholism the bad example OF the drunken parent
must be remembered. Thus. even though scientific
evidence may establish the fact hat alcoholism it
self is not hereditary. the responsibility rests largely
on the alcoholic parents for contamination OF the
child

Germany will gain time and bar
gaining power.
Baron Constantin Won Neurath,
German foreign minister, told the
writer last spring in Berlin that
Germany would never return to
Geneva until full equality had
been extended to her in arma-
ments and otherwise. Herr Hit
Ter today says this equality must
precede, not come after, Ger
many's return.
DY playing Britain against
ID France, therefore, Germany
stands to gain enough time to win
her point. Admittedly she will
soon achieve the equality she
seeks despite the Allies or the
hampering clauses Of the Treaty
of Versailles. Then the League
will even be anxious to have Ger
many back, just as it was glad to
welcome Russia, because her pres
ence at Geneva will be vital.
Germany may propose going
going ahead with the air pact,
then daily with the other issues
while time works for her. Britain,
certainly, would like to get this
part of the contract reduced to
paper as soon as possible. France
ray have to go along.
Hut even this half a loaf for
France would be better than none
at all. War is war, regardless of
the weapons with which it is
waged. If Germany attacks
France, she must use planes.
Planes would be her chief arm.
Britain, then, would be bound to
aid France in the air, and the
very first burst of machine gun
fire would mean England was at
war with Germany.

Ma bonnie Louise: My anticipa-

four letters from you, one when L

three Others this morning. 1 was
surprised to hear you had no let
tiers from me yet; 1 sent two to
my Minister at Dresden, to be
forwarded to you. You must have
greatly enjoyed seeing your sis
tiers and your uncles. Tell Prince
Charles of all the esteem l have

present to Prince Clary, at whose

If not, do so when leaving Prague.

you must be very generous and
give a great deal in every way. /

Lagisky 90 was to be worth $4,000

of the same value, so that she
may have 100000 worth of dia-

not give gold snuff boxes; it is in
bad taste; you must have rings,
with your monogram, worth 1900,

this to the High Chamberlain.
Give a great deal of money to all
those who served you formerly

you your June allowance, so that
you may be able to spend a great
deal. Jardin has doubtless ar

of all the feelings he has inspired
me with; tell the Empress am at
her feet. Make inquiries as to
whether there are any old GUS
toms toward the Burgraves on the
part of SOvereigns passing through
Prague. See, also, what you might
give, on leaving, to the city of
Prague as a memento of your
visit. Adieu mon annie, you know

ambiguous to be said in your pres
