So deep Is the feeling of this
grazing refugee scientist, who
saw Europe crumble in a ter
rible fight to uphold such
a theory, that he SHES
away from even the possibil-
ity Of forming a pure race
through selective breeding. He
has prepared a statement
pointing to the fallacy of this
view which now hangs In the
museum. It reads:
'Eugenics wants to improve
the human race. This is a
noble goal. But we are lin
tied beings, confronted by the
unlimited and unable to fore
see all the consequences of
our plans and deeds. We
don't even agree upon what
might be the ideal human
race. Do we want to put the
emphasis on health, on beauty,
on intelligence or on artistic
talents? Do we want to breed
f1ghting pioneers or gentle
Christians?
1T would be, of course, ideal
to achieve a harmonious
combination Of all those good
characteristics. Unfortunate
ly. we do not know, and prob
ably we viii never know, the
way which leads to this goal.
We cannot breed cattle, for
instance, which will be both
milk producers and good meat
producers. Chickens which
are champion egg-layers are
usually poor In regard to
meat, and vice versa. Among
human beings an athlete will
not, ordinarily, be a genius.
Successful businessmen must
not always be social-minded.
The German experiment to
breed a master race was not
only a succession of crimes
against humanity, but also a
complete failure. Even II they
had been victorious and had
realized their goal, the result
Of their eugenic experiment
would have been q brutal and
sadistic fight to kill each
other, and complete destruc-
ton would have been the
end"

Natures Children
OWL SCOUTS.
By liIIion Cox Athey

Owls are valuable allies of ours.
Few are seen, since they are night
workers. Their voice is far from
musical. The Great Horned Owl,
the tiger of the air, is pugnacious
bird with such determination that
he gets what he goes after. If he
has established himself convenient
ly close to a poultry yard, the owner
may have to sit up nights to defend
his property. Usually twins are
Matched in a nursery built by a
more thoughtful mother than their
own-perhaps an Osprey, Eagle, or
Grow. Not being fastidious, the
young are reared in the midst of
bones and trash. If the mother
brings her twins up in Arizona, the
nursery may be in a Yucca, and
even in such an abode they are
ready to fight if you come too close.
Mother owls have been known to
lay their eggs very early in the year
and have been discovered sitting on
the nest with a blanket of snow on
their shoulders. Nests have been
found with one of the babies more
advanced than the other. Tales are
circulated that the eggs were laid
so many days apart so that one
fledgling could defend the nest
while the mother was absent. Owls
are smart-but. not to the extent Of
providing sitter.
Horned owl babies spread their
wings and fluff their feathers until
they appear twice their size. They
love to snooze in foliage, and you
may sometime happen to come upon
one fast asleep on his feet, and be
near enough to see him blink his
eyes and show the nictitating men,
brane which serves as sort of sec
ond eyelid to shut out the glare
but not the shadows. So owls can
see in the daytime. 1t is surprising
to see how alert they can be when
food comes within reach of their
sharp claws.
In their territory they keep down
small animals like rats. weasels,
gophers and rabbits. Their stiletto-
tipped claws cause their victims
much pain as evidenced by their
screams. The owl merely misses to
show it's f1erceness and snaps its
beak. Owls possess wonderful abil-
ity to drop noiselessly upon their
prey. The wing feathers are so soft
they make only signing sound as
the bird glides close to the ground,
deftly lifting up frightened mouse
or a busy shrew.

MyWord for 1t
By Frank Colby
Saturday Quiz.

Los Angeles: Please, can't you
do something about the pronun-
citation "eye-tal-ian" for Italian?
1t is very offensive to all people
who, like me, are of Italian de-
scent.-R. L.G.
Answer: Do somethingP I've
written about it for years. And
you are right, of course; we should
keep emphasizing that there is no
"eye'" in Italian. The first "I"
should be short as in Italy. We
should say: i-TAL-yun. Also, the
81" is short in the word italics.
Not "eye-TAL-iks." Be sure to
say: i-TAL-iks.
G. An article about Vivien Kill
lens said that she wore an orchid
which had been sent to her by
Los Angeles 'af1cionado.' What Is
it, please?-Mrs. J.MT.
Answer: Aficionado is Spanish
for amateur: an ardent devotee
of sport, as bullfighting"; hence,

Answer: The AYE" in this verse
means yes" Pronounce it exactly
like the word "eye." Now there
is another AYE" which means "al-
ways; ever" as forever and for
aye" 1t is pronounced "ay" to
rhyme with day"
Banning: What pronunciation do
you recommend for the word eco
nomic?-L. F. E.
Answer: prefer; E-kuh- -NOMik.
which is the first choice Of the

nunciation "EK- h-NOMik" Is ap-
preaching obsolescence.

Opening lead, four of diamonds.
Two-suited hands (provided q ut
has been established) possess much
more power than would be apparent
from the appraisal of their high-
card values. The holder of this type
of hand should resolve all doubts In
favor of aggressive action. IS
However, when the time comes to
play the dummy, declarer may be
faced with choice as to which suit
to develop and many an interesting
problem will arise. A slight attack
of myopia proved tragic to South,
declarer in today's hand.
The bidding was sound In all re-
spects. This is not the type of hand
which lends itself to treatment by
any Of the artificial slam conven-
tions. That is usually the case where
void suits are held. This is slam
that depends, as so many do, not so
much upon the possession of aces
and kings, as upon favorable distri-
button, or, in other words, Q lack
of losers.

Easts ace was ruffed. The egocen-
trio Mr. South could see nothing but
his own hand and Immediately set
about establishing the spade SUIT.
He would have experienced no diff
Guilty with the hand had spades
broken 4-3 (Which they did and
the trumps 2-1 (Which they didn't.
The ace of spades was cashed and
a small spade ruffed in dummy. De-
clarer regained the lead by rufflng
diamond and another spade was
ruffed in dummy. Then a trump
was led to the closed hand and when
East showed out, the jig was up.
The spades now became hopeless be-
cause declarer was out of entries to
get back to cash them. Declarer
therefore had to try the heart flnesse,
which lost, leaving South in help.
less position.
Despite the bad trump break, de-
clarer should have made the hand
without any trouble. The proper
suit to work on was hearts, not
spades. In the first place, they were
nearer to establishment, and in the
second place, dummy has more en-
tries, now that declarer's trumps
have been weakened by having to
ruff the opening lead. At the end
of trick one, since dummy has more
trumps, it should be treated as the
boss" hand. On winning the first
trick, the ace of clubs will show the
bad trump break. The heart finesse
should then be taken. When East
wins, a diamond will probably be
returned, though no lead matters.
Declarer ruffs and discards dummy's
last diamond on the ace of spades.
A small heart is led to the ace and
a small heart is returned and ruffed
with the king of clubs to prevent a
possible overruff. A low trump to
dummy permits the drawing of
trumps and the dummy hand is now
