Evolution is see-Saw process. 1t
has moved forward from the SIM
plest forms of life to man, back
ward to the simplest of the viruses
which are responsible for some of
the most virulent of diseases.
This thesis was presented before
the National Academy of Science
here last night by DR.. George w.
Beadle, noted authority on genetics
of the California Institute of Tech
nology.
DR.. Beadle gave some of the
latest findings, both from his own
and other laboratories, on the be-
havior of the strange giant mole
cules known as genes" which not
only determine heredity but gov
ern the chemical behavior of the
body and the direction of the prog
ress of race.
Studies on Bread Mold.
His studies have been on the genes
of relatively simple organism, the
bread mold. In its basic biological
processes, it is much the same as
such a higher organism as a man.
Upward evolution of a race, DR..
Beadle said, apparently depends on
the addition of genes, each capable
of doing a certain thing. Men have
acquired about 10000. The higher
animals have about the same num-
ber. The actions and interactions
Of these make the process of living
infinitely complex.
Downward evolution depends on
losing genes. 1t usually comes about
through parasitism, such as that of
certain worms in the intestines of
human beings. They started out
as normal worms. The fact that
they we're able to get all their nour-
iShment from their hosts made
some of their genes unnecessary
Eventually these became lost. The
creatures took a long slide back
toward the beginning of life.
Carried to its extreme, he said,
this process has caused the de-

An unlimited patron of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, who tied up
freight traffic for half an hour last
Saturday in the Benning Yards, was
fined $25 in Municipal Court yes
terday for unauthorized riding.
The delay, according to Railroad
Detective Charles Beales, came when
an alarmed switch tower operator
spotted William James Green, 80,
of Waterbury, Conn, sitting atop a
freight car perilously near the high
tension wires which power the
train. The switchman hastily cut
off the 23,000-volt juice.
The detective told Judge Thomas
D. Quinn that, when he informed
Green the high-power current has
been known to jump more than 2
feet from the wires to a grounded
object, Green merely shrugged his
shoulders and observed: Il must
have nine lives"
He reacted with equal calm to
Judge Quinn's efforts to point out
the risk he had taken.

CHICAGO, April 27. - Railroad
management and labor conferees
met secretly again today to try to
end a six-month wage dispute be-
fore a midnight deadline for setting
strike date.
A walkout by 10000 members OF
three unions would paralyze the
Nations railroad service. Unions
involved in the dispute are the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and the
Switchmen's Union of North
America.
Representatives of both sides re-
fused to say where the meeting was
taking place, but confirmed that
there was meeting. In Cleveland
headquarters of the unions of en-
gineers and firemen, officials and
paid spokesmen likewise were un-
communicative as to whether any
progress is being made.
David B. Robertson, president OF
the Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, said in Cleveland a strike
date must be set if the carriers and
unions fail to reach an agreement
before midnight tonight. Today is
the end of a 30-day cooling of
period after a report by a Presi-
dental fact-finding board.
Mr.. Robertson said q resolution
adopted in Cleveland at a recent
meeting of brotherhood general
chairmen called for setting a strike
date after the 80 days if the issues
over wages and working rules were
not settled.
The three operating unions re-
jected the presidential boards rec
ommendation for pay boost of 1917
cents an hour. The proposal was
accepted by the carriers.
Two other operating brothernoods

Conductors, accepted the wage in

AKRON, Ohio, April 27.-Year-
old Beverly Smith never cries about
fall, a cut or a burn. She never
will cry about them, either, because
they cause her no pain, according to
Childrens Hospital officials.
Doctors are calling Beverly the
painless baby"
They say she was born indifferent
to pain. A pin prick brings q
laugh. Bumps and bruises never
bother her.
Aside from complete indifference
to pain, Beverly is normal, active
child. She cries when hungry or
angry, for example.
Right now the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Victor Smith is in the
hospital for treatment Of anemia.
Her 24-year-old mother says they
probably will take her home to-
morrow. Beverly was / year old
Sunday.
Mrs. Smith first noticed Beverly
was immune to pain when the child
bumped her head on the floor at
