JONES (Associated Press Science Editor) New York, Dec. 27 (I)—New evi- dence of the power of the laws of growth, heredity and instinct was | ‘ln‘(-wlltvd today to the American As- sociation For the Advancement of | | Science and Affiliated Societies. i Indications that social institutions, human beings, animals and plants jare all subject to similar “laws of | growth,” which cover their periods | of development, maturily and de- cline, were advanced by Dr. I° uart ' Chapin of the University of Minne- sota. could he established for social in- titutions, it would become possible [to predict and control their futurc development. Pirst Findings Mis findings, described as “pre- " were based on a study of |changes affecting the commission {plan of government, the city mana- ger plan, the government of Minne- sota, and the city government of De troit, which he compared with changes that ocenr in animals be { tween birth and death. | “Our study shows." he said, “that the total changes of four political |institutions for a period {may be described s & zrowth | tendency not unlik ;:ln\\(h prin- |ciple of animal or | Prof. Austin I Middicton of | the University of Louisville demon- | strafed that an hereditary tPndenv)" |1asts at Ieast as long as the time re- tquired to breed it. His experiments were made with a single-celled ereature called para- | mecium. After three sets of these animals were fed on different diets for about a month, they developed | different rates of “birth.” A paramecium really has no | hirth” in the ordinavy sense, but bout once a day divides into two cells, each of which is an adult. After changing these normal periods |of cell division into periods of dif- ferent length, Prof. Middleton took |away the special diets which brought this about and veturned all three groups to their normal diet. The newly acquired birth rates, however, | Himinary, en- | persisted in each group “as long as | vlectric Ren- | than” the time required | or longer {o develop the tr: i | Others Show Work | Two other investigators, Prof. | William A. Kepner and J. W. Nutty- combe of. the University of Virginia, | showed that a basic instinct can live |on through generation after genera- tion even though the reason for its | existence has been removed. | | 'They experimented with a com- plex instinct involving both theft and | self-protection in a species of worm. | This creature normally kills and eat small animals known at hydra, which have stinging substances in their bodies for protection. After the worm has eaten the hydra, it appropriates the protec- five stingers, which' appears on its own hody Yor 21 generations, ’ however, worms of this species were kept without need of hydra-eating, either for food or self prmu(mn bhut when members of the 22nd ;:fln- eration were given a chance, 'hvy\ instinctively ate the hydra and took possession of its protective stingers in the normal fashion. Attempts to destroy the instinct were made by cutting a worm in two | and allowing the tail half to grow into a new worm, and by keeping the worms for mating, causing them to reproduce only by dividing into two worms. The instinct to consume | hydra, however, survived even this | tLest, the Virginia scientists asserted. - AARON GUSTAFSON DIES AT AGE OF 77 Third Death in Family in thtle‘ More Than Year today elaimed a third Gustatson family in 14 months when Aaron Gustafson of 31 Belden street followed in death | his two sons.
