In A FOIL

- cIENcE has taken preposterous
liberties with the animal
kingdom 1t has laid down
~ rules for breeding that are as
matter -of-fact as rules for making an
apple pie Calmly geneticists have
pointed the way to producing horses
for speed and horses for strength.
camels for endurance and water
buffaloes for docility. In few genera
tons they have achieved feats that
would have taken ordinary hit-or-miss
evolutionary processes tens OF thou
sands Of years.
One of these experimental ventures
is now drawing near close. For sheer
audacity and profundity of the impli-
cations involved, it has few equals.
Translated into everyday terms. it
may mean cheaper suits and dresses,
blankets and carpets - and more
plentiful chops and legs of lamb. Re-
garded from a scientific point of view,
it is one of the fine, unsung research
stories of our day.
The aim of this great scientific effort
is to create breed of sheep which will
normally produce twins and be cap
able of sustaining their lives until they
are old enough to be weaned - thus
making possible enormous increases
in the $4,000, 600 sheep that Craze the
nations fields. It's a story of work
that began forty-nine years ago on a
bleak Nova Scotian hillside under the
direction of Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor of the telephone; and is
nearing completion today in prim
little frame building on the University
of New Hampshire campus.
This building is, anonymously
enough, called the Ritz. But it is
neither hotel nor restaurant; nor is it
named for the Swiss hotel keeper who
rose to international fame The little
white building is an animal laboratory
and derives its name from its director.
Professor Ernest G. Ritzman.
During the summer of 1886 Alexan-
der Graham Bell took his family -
his wife and two small daughters - to

Baddeck, Nova Scotia. The great
inventor wanted peace and seclusion,
and he got both with vengeance. The
country was raw and rugged - land
of rocks, scrub pines, high hills and
high winds.
To supply his children with some
amusement. Bell bought a sheep
which he intended to sell in the fall
when time came to return home to
Washington. But the children would
not hear of selling their pet. Their
ideas prevailed and the animal was
boarded with farmer for the winter.
When the family returned the fol-
lowing spring there were is0O sheep
the original and lamb born in the
spring For the children it was de-
lightful surprise. The inventor had
another Interpretation. Why only one
baby? A hog produced dozen or so
young at one time, and half dozen
kittens or pups often arrived together.
So why only one lamb?
The idea destroyed the mental calm
the great inventor was seeking. He
looked at his new neighbors. They
were undeniably poor. Their hard,
scraggy soil was cursed with all the
wrath the north could produce. They
had to subsist largely on the earnings
from their fiocks of sheep. If one could
only induce those sheep to have twins
most of the time, wouldn't one pro-
portionately increase the income of
the Nova Scotians? 1t sounded good!
Bell began collecting sheep facts
He teased friends with some OF the
things he found. "How many teeth
does a sheep have in its upper front
jaw?" he would ask. Friends would
guess wildly before Bell furnished the
correct answer - none. The gangling.
bearded telephone inventor pieced
together the life history of sheep,
stressing significant points.
One of these points stood out par
ticularly. Sheep. as a rule, had only
two functional nipples - two that
would supply milk to the young. That
initiated against production of race

because when twins were born the
stronger crowded the weaker away
from food, and it starved. Therefore
the first problem was to produce. by
selective breeding. herd of sheep
with extra mammae capable of pro-
ducing milk.
Not until 1889 did Bell finally get
launched on the project that was to
occupy him until his death in 1922.
To neighboring farmers he passed the
word that he would pay high prices
for those occasional, freakish sheep
that we're equipped with more than
two functional nipples. That first year
they brought sixteen animals to the
great. rambling house the Bells had
built.
Close to the house. Bell supervised
the building of "Sheepville. Here
he installed Generals Grant and Lee,
the original rams of the flock. He in
vented automatic scales for weighing
the animals; big feeding trough con-
structed like a circular mouse trap
which insured equal rations for all,
and a system of ear punching that
provided the key to the ancestral
record of each animal. In his alright
study Bell kept the voluminous rec
ords necessary in such piece OF work.
Heartbreak followed heartbreak.
Foxes and dogs raided the flock and
careless shepherd allowed large por-
ton of the flock to freeze one winter.
A medical student, imported to supply
scientific care, became so engrOsSed
in the work that he killed one of the
best animals in the flock to see in
advance whether she was bearing
twins! Despite these handicaps. prog
ress was made A year after the start
the flock averaged 2.27 functional
nipples each. BY 1903 the figure had
risen to 4.44 and finally stood at 532
by the time Bell OleQ.
The work became the consuming
passion of the venerable scientist. 1.-The
we're unable to be on hand for the spring
lambing season, results were wired him.
Once he even made a special trip
from Europe to be there for the event.

enough for Bell to cut out part Of the
flock and concentrate entirely on twin
ming characteristics At this time the
flock was producing twins half the
time. Excellent progress was being
made when the death of DR. Bell. and
the death of his wife year later.
stopped the work short
Heirs looked about for someone to
carry on. Finally Professor Ritzman
was selected. 1t was happy choice.
He had a rich background of research
work. a long list of accomplishments
in the production of improved domestic
animals.
As part of this work, Ritzman had
for half-a-dozen years conducted a
series of striking sheep breeding ex-
periments. He had crossed good WOOL
producing Rambouillets with good
mutton producing Southdowns to
achieve a superior animal with the
best characteristics of both stocks.
When the Bell flock arrived in 1923,
Ritzman began imposing the charac-
teristics of his sheep on them. This
was a very necessary step. since the
Bells had paid little attention to the
wool or mutton their flock produced -
with the result that both were low
grade. This step is now very largely
completed, and Ritzman has lately
concentrated almost entirely on de-
veloping the twinning characteristic.
The flock now drops twins slightly
less than 20 per cent of the time.
Occasional triplets occur.
Ritzman, tifty-two, is shy and ex-
cessively modest. When he discusses
his work at all, he does it in dignified
scientific publications. Yet the work
they report of a long-range job
which is now heading toward sue
cessful conclusion - has been suffi-
GENTLY attractive to draw scientists
from Czechoslovakia. Germany,
Japan, China, Russia, France and
other countries. 1t is work that one
day will mean better clothes for every
one, and more food. And, above all,
realization of the ideal which first
set DR.. Bell out on the project - more
prosperous farms and more prosper
Gus farmers.

RaiIbirds Agreed that Can. didate Prepossessing
 Big Horse
By ALEX McNEILL

LOUISVILLE, May 3. Lawrin Herbert M Woolf's Kentucky Derby candidate, is the raciest-looking thoroughbred at Churchill Downs this spring.
 Cookers and railbirds are gener- ally agreed that, of the candidates, Lawrin is the most prepossessing big horse since Peace Chance.
 Lawrin is a big horse, as thor oughbreds in training go. weigh ing well over HOO pounds. But, like Peace Chance, the weight is well-b balanced over a long barrel. Thick through the heart and pos sessing uscular hindquarters, which denote driving power, Law rin certainly looks the part of a great racer.
 Stable hands who saw the big horse race them dizzy in the Flamingo stakes at Hialeah this winter say Lawrin's stride is just as rhythmic and powerful as that of Peace Chance
 Another racy-looking candidate now in training for the May 2 event is Mrs Ethel V. Mars Tiger recent winner of the Arkansas derby at Oaklawn Park.
 Tiger has been campaigning at Santa Anita and Oaklawn but does not show the usual drawn, washed out appearance of so many win ter -campaigned horses.
 Lawrin and Tiger, along with his stablemate, Mountain Ridge, are well-liked in pre-Derby esti- mates, and certainly if looks have anything to do with the results they should be well up front if not in the lead when the pack flashes under the wire.

 FOR GERMANY
Wellknown Juneau Couple Plan Year S Trip, Euro
 pean Countries

Soon to embark on a years trip to Germany, a former member of Kaiser Wilhelms body guard, w. l.. Iorell, accompanied by Mrs. Torell, will sail aboard the Princess Louise Sunday on voyage which will cov- CT many thousands of miles before returning to Juneau.
 The Torells, who are well known in Juneau where MT. Torell has been property owner, have lived here since 1884.
 Visiting in Vancouver for two or three days, they will proceed to Seattle to see MT. Torells brother and purchase a car before travelling to Marysville, Wash, where Mrs. Torell's relatives live.
 They will then motor to New York and board German liner for Lon don After a short stay in England, they plan to travel to Hamburg where they will motor to the former home of Mrs Torell, Dortmund, Germany, colorful and picturesque city where his family is now est ablished.
 After visiting for a month in Dortmund, they will spend the next three months motoring over Ger many and Austria, visiting historic spots and travelling to noted vaca- ton resorts. They later plan to re- turn to Dortmund where they will make their home for some time celebrating Christmas with tradi- tional German good cheer
 MT Torell has many relatives liv- ing in Germany, among them a number Of nieces and nephews whose curiosity about Alaska will be heightened by the many souvenirs and pictures of the Territory which MT. Torell is taking them as gifts
 In addition to visiting with his mother and sisters and brothers, MT Torell plans to visit many friends in Germany and asks that Juneau ties having acquaintances aboard give him their addresses so that he may call on them.
 Remaining in Germany until Spring, the Torells plan to return to the United States to attend the World Fairs in New York and San

 MT .Torell, whose career has been a colorful one, arrived in New York in 1913 from Dortmund and was in business in the East for many years. He came to Juneau in 1884 and with Mrs. Torell purchased several build ings on Gastineau Avernue which he recently sold to w. c. White who is now taking care of his Juneau business interests.
 Last Saturday, both MT. and Mrs. Torell resigned their positions on the staff of St. Anns Hospital where they have been employed for some time.

TRUITT RETURNS FROM PACK TAX
 CASE HEARING
Man Overobard'' Provides Thrill for Attornel Gen
 eral En Route Home

After repre- /lting Alaska in tax actions in the superior court of Washington at Seattle, Attorney General James s. Truitt returns to his headquarters here on the AL aska this morning.
 The cases involve the Hydaburg Fisheries, Inc, and the Far West Fisheries, Inc, which operated in the Westward. About $4,000 in taxes due for 1885, 1886 and 1887 is in- volved in the Hydaburg case, Judge Truitt reported, and approximately $2,300 in the Far West action. Both cases were taken under advisement by Superior Judge Clay Allen oi King country.
 The Hydaburg company operat- ed for three years without report ing any return to the Territory, Judge Truitt said, and packed some 55, ,OOO cases of fish during that time, It is now in receivership as is the Far West concern.
 One of the highlights of the trip north. the Judge reported, was the chap who jumped overheard last Saturday night as the steamer AL aska plowed northward. Reported by ship officers as being slightly in- ebriated." the Judge said the man started swimming like good fellow as quick as he hit the water and kept it up for 15 or 20 minutes while a life boat was lowered to pick him up. Next day the man, whose name the Judge did not learn, didn't re- member a thing about what hap pened, he claimed.
