What
Do NOT Inherit

their hereditary factors as if the
father were 16.
Pass on Accomplishments?
"Can l pass onto my child any of
the accomplishments or improve
ments l have made in MYSELF" The
answer is eyes," you can pass on
great deal, but not by heredity-by
training and environment.
Animals not of the same variety,
but of related kind, can produce off
spring, but the offspring are sterile.
The most familiar case is the horse
and the donkey, which produce the
mule, but the mule can produce no
offspring. All human beings, ho-7-
ever, are fertile with one another.
The smallest pygmy and the tallest
Nordic could produce a perfectly
normal child, because all human be-
ings regardless Of race, type, color
or any other classifications are, as
members of the same species, COM
patible with one another.
At the Worlds Fair they have a
machine that solves all the heredi-
tary problems for a young couple
contemplating marriage. A small
figure having the characteristics of
the mother-blue eyes, brown hair,
etc.-is shown, and another shows
the characteristics of the father.
Punch the button beneath these and
soon there is a picture of what the
child will look like. Thus, you can
eliminate all Chance.

North proved false to his trust
on the first trick East led the
heart 10 and North, feeling sure
from East's bid OF the suit that
the K was there, played the j. He
therefore lost one trick each in

Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Dec 29.-SecretaIy OF the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau day
or SO ago called attention to the
fact that of all Federal taxes some
thing like SO per cent are upon the
consumer. In his list he named a
good many tax items which are not
paid directly by the consumer to the
government but which may properly
be classed as consumer taxes just
the same.
Looking over North Cardinals tax
collections for the last fiscal year
(Which ended June 800 it sticks out
very plainly that in this State more
than half the entire revenue is de-
rived directly from two single tax
items laid squarely and without re-
mote camouflage upon the consumer
towit. Sales tax and gasoline tax
(gallonage and inspection).
The entire State revenue from all
sources amounted to $68, 946, 1927
of which $685. 4386 came from
sales tax collections ($10,997, 883.8O,
gallonage tax on gasoline (S24,440,-
996 29) and gasoline inspection fees
(Sl.157,563 7O); making the percen-
taec ON these direct consumers taxes
So plus.
That's not taking into cOnSldera-
ton other tax items which are even
tuallv passed along to Mr.. and Mrs
T. Heel User.

Some time ago there were general
predictions that Guilford county
would have no 'majOr" candidate
for Congress- except John Caffey, OF
Greensboro: but from word reaching
this bureau it now appears that an
other entry from the Quaker BALI
wick is quite lillely-a candidate who
probably would be classed as major
in two respects.
The reported aspirant is no new
conner to politics, not even to sixth
district Congress races. He is none
other that Edney Ridge, big radio
man Of WBIG, who ran two years
ago on straight-out New Deal
platform and who got a rather re-
spectacle vote total.
He'd be a ''maior', both as to his
military title and the character Of
his candidacy.
This bureaus operatives have it
that he has been visited with dele
cations and deluged with requests
to run and, further, that he has
practically decided to do SO.
