THE INTRA. CANAL

For more than 80 years the Intra-C Coastal
Canal project lbs been on the tongues of

Authori1G.ioD has been granted by con-
gress fer II cS.c- Ion of the canal from
Houston % Corps Christi, and there the
matter stands at present. The Corpus
Christi extension has not been built, and
probably viii not be built for years.
VALLEY interests have been trying for a
long period Of time to secure a favorable
Recommendation for the extension of the
canal to tgis lection. The Board Of Army
Engineer has refused such q recommen-
dalton, setting forth the belief that before
the canal is authorized to the Valley it
might be better to wait and see what
business the canal carries to AMI from Cor
pus Christi and what effect the opening of
the Valleys deep water ports will have on
available deep water prospective tonnage.
In these deep water ports of the Valley
the communities Of Brownsville, San Be-
nito, Los Fresnos, Port Isabel and Ell Jar
din have invested close to two and one
half million dollars. The United States
government has another three millions and
more in the pot. Voters authorized the
bond issue, the United States government
put up its money in the belief that ultimate
good would come to this section through
the building, of these ports.
They will soon be going concerns, hand

Within twenty to thirty months the Val
ley will know, the government will know,

provide tonnage for whatever traffic there
may be on the Intra-Coastal canal.

Science Fails to Find
Alcoholism Inherited
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Associatio
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine


Many an old time novelist and dramatist created an
absorbing plot by presuppoSing that every family
which shamefacedly admitted that Il included a
drunkard carried with 1t a hereditary strain Of
drunkenness.
Modern scientific students OF heredity have come
20 a different conclusion. One of these specialists
says that We are not justified in drawing conclusions
concerning men from experiments that have been
made on rats in relationship to the administrator Of
alcohol.
This is particularly the case since the dosages OF
alcohol given to the rats surpaSs any possible con-
sumption by human beings.
In one series OF experiments. mice were intoxicat-
ed with alcohol. and the experiments we're carried
out through succeeding generations OF mice until
$4,000 had been used.
In some cases the mice became 50 completely in
toxicated that they were eaten by the mice which
we're not intoxicated and with which they we're sup
posed to mate.
Notwithstanding the fact that the habits 81 hui
man beings, according to enc scientist, resemble in
many ways those Of mice. this situation is certainly
never met with among humanity.
II is, of course, necessary to distinguish between
hereditary influences and environment influences.
The characters studied In the experiments with mice
are not characters which can easily be studied from
the point Of view OF heredity.
Even tnOugn ~ can De SHOWN that the taking OF
alcohol through repeated generations OF mice tends
to lower their fertility and raise their death rates.
this does not prove that the effects Of alcohol are
hereditary.
Certainly a constant state OF intoxication in the
female viii lower her fertility, but this viii not nee
eSsarily lower the fertility Of the offspring.
In relationship to such questions, 1t is important to
bear in mind that we are greatly influenced by our
environment. II has been said that fat parents are
likely to have fat children because they eat too
much and the children initiate the parents. This is
obviously an environmental influence and not he
reditary.
The conditions existing in antilles in which one OF
the parents is a chronic alcoholic are such as TO
cause a lower resistance to temptations in general
among the children.
In judging such cases or apparent heredlty Of al
coholism. the bad example OF the drunken parent
must be remembered. Thus. even though scientific
evidence may establish the fact that alcoholism it
self is not hereditary. the responsibility rests large
ly on the alcoholic parents for contamination Of the
child.

wider use of such ships in the

. Rosendahl, who has been a

He said nghter.than-air ships
are superior to airplanes for
ocean travel and lamented that
Congress has not encouraged
their use.
The future Of the CONNER
cial airship, he said, lies in the
use of airplanes in conjunction
with lighter-than-air craft. Planes
hooked onto airshipS, he added,
would add to carrying loads and
facilitate loading and unloading
of passengers.
