THOSE GENES or GEORGES

THOSE GENES or GEORGES
 One reader will not lot us forget tho genes in tho discussion Of heredity, eugenics or genetieS. Ho stands right up where everybody can sec him and, in resonant ones, tosseS his query ct us:
 If I have read my books aright, tho child, call him George, receives ct birth the genes which he in turn will transmit. But these genes, car- rying the factors of heredity Of deorge's line are signed, sealed and delivered when George gets them. Nothing that George does during his iife.time affects in any way tho genes he iS carrying. Therefore deorge'S children inherited only the characteristics of the line prior to George. The conduct of George can thus affect, through tho genes, only tho grandchildren. If this is correct, no man is the son of his parents but is tile descendant of his grand. parents and the rest Of the line oil the way back, In respect to ia. herited characteriSties,"
 Tn other words, one must Do born good, bad or indifferent in order to achieve goodness, badness or indifference. Environment, training, education, culture make no dif. ference ct oil, only birth counts. If grandpa was c bad egg George is . bad egg.
 The chief fault with this theory of heredity b that 1t excludes al" together the possibility of tho in. heritance of acquired characters, and if that possibility is denied. then we must dismiss the notion of evolution and the general belief in the influence of environment.
 Here again the experiment of Cas- tie and Phillips applies. They re-" moved the ovaries from an albiao guinea-pig just attaining maturity, and grafted into the albin0 pigs body other ovaries obtained from . young black guinea-pig. The al. blio with the grafted ovaries was then mated with @ male albinO. Al. bino guinea pigs invariably bear only albino young. In this case, however, there were three filters, six individuals, and every one of the young guinea pigs was black. The young from a cross between black and albino guinea pigs are invari- ably black, though if these black guinea-pigs of the first generation mate. three-fourths of their young will be black and one-fourth albino or white. This would seem to strengthen the theory of the unal- terable genes.
 On the other hand, it is certain that poisons in the blood stream, or nutritional deficiencies, or dis eases, injure or weaken the ger- minal cells. the germ-plasm in the ovaries or the tests, so that re- productive power is impaired, or the offspring will be puny, low in vitality, weak in one way or an- other even if not actually diseased. It is as reasonable to assume that factors in the blood. chemical sub- Stances, ductless gland hormones, may modify the character of the genes in the germ-plasm and so account. in a measure, for the inc heritance of acquired characters and the effect of environment on evolution.

 Yelled Eeaddresses. At sessions of the National Horse Show, several of the prettiest debutanteS wore shoulder length wells over their shining cultures.

STYLE CHATS
BY DOROTHY CAREW United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris, (UP)-Navy blue tailored street dresses with touches of white trim arc featured for daytime wear, both in light woolens and silk cropes in the Mainbocher midseaBon collec' ton. Of simple line, the froclS are made with elaborate detail, and the white of the trim is repeated h gloves for the costume.
 Chalk stripe and pin stripe suits in black and navy are shown with the tunic length Jackets introduced by that house in its August collection. Blouses or draped sweaters have a touch of white at the neckline. Many of the suits are designed with panel fastenings and light tunic jackets of less tailored line are shown for wear with dark daytime dresses.
 Goats for the nidseason arc made with softness at the neck line which is achieved through padded and rolled treatments of the fabric. Revers are stitched down or modified to give a draped effect to coats which are fastened by single closing at the waistline, showing the blouse or dress beneath.
 Pleated skirts from the low hipline sponsored by Mainbocher are an innovation in the cur rent collection and are used not only for daytime but for evening gowns also
 Tiny checks and plaids will be seen for spring, alone or combined with solid colors in suits, judg- ing from the collection. Flesh pink trim will be used on both navy and black afternoon frocks.
 For evening, Mainbocher is showing a group of navy and black crepe tunic dinner dresses with ankle-length skirts. In- mense flowers are used effec- lively at shoulders, corsage and waistline, and pearls are shown with afternoon and evening frocks. Tulle and chiffon evening gowns of clas- sic line are shown with crepe and satin underskirts of knee length, Uneven fringe is used for a group of straight-linedr sophisticated evening costumes.

Grandma. does it worry you to see James SO misunderstood by hi8 father2 Does it make your heart ache to see Mary reprimanded by her mother for things that arc really ConnIe's fault2 Would you like to take Connie by tho ear and shake some sense Into her selfish little head7
 What are you doing about itp Talk to your daughter and her husband9 Try to show them the errors of their ways9 It would be very natural, If you did. All grandparents have c perspective that many parents lack, as well as the experience Of years behind thom.

 Let Them Seek Advice
 My advice is "hands off" alwayB' Hard as 1t is 10 keep quiet and allow ones heart to go on breaking, it Is the best In the end' Unless It iS a case of extreme neg. lect, or one where any outside ln' terventIon iS lawful, the less ih- terierencc In family life, the bet- ter. Of course, the right kind or mother will be willing to tax over with c grandparent the proe- lens of her children, just aS she would talk to any friend, In a friendly discussion, a grandmother may often be of great help. But this Is different from unasked opin' ion and voluntary criticism,
 One other thing Is dangerous also, and this is undermining the mothers or fathers relationship with the child. When James or Mary come for solace to your door expecting comfort or approval, 1t IS best to speak carefully. The chil- dren will honor you for 1t. Even though hurt, they shrink from haV- ing their parents put in the wrong. There is no struggle in the child heart greater than the ache to re- spect both mother and father Through 1t, he can be hurt deeply, even though he feels a sense of injustice at their hands.
 Spelling Is Another Tabu
