TS IN SEATTLE What Do You Know? Why Twins Bless Some. It Isn’t Chance. Predestination. Heredity Controls It. BY GERTRUDE DAVENPORT WINNING is an hereditary characteristic like other In other any words, twin. family trait ning is passed down in ¢ Mies, This fact Perimenta!l Evolution Strated beyond doubt. A distinguished inventor se ® present to the station, some sheep, These sheep differed In one respect, atl ts the Sv has demon stead of the two of ordinary sheep. It was thought at the station that ewes so well designed by na re to nourish, should be made to do so The station, therefore, bred these sheep to a race of sheep—the Dor set—noted for frequent twin pro duction. After a few years of breeding, selecting and discarding, the sta tion was enabled to bulld up flock of multinippled ewes, al! whom produced twins save two, and these triplets, We use visedly because the station [could never have accomplished this result by any amount of selection or in any umber of generations had not heredity also played her hand in this gama Not only did heredity «it down fm this game, but strange to say, she played a more winning hand When the station selected fathers for twin bearing proclivity as wel one two ad the foregoing sentences the wort “enabled” weetigntion were gleaned of records of family wed in the files of the Ste sto negie institution. ‘Thwe records are for the most Part voluntary contributions of ity histories that have been made out on schedules furnished, on ap- Plication, by the eugenics record office. A study of these records soon demonstrated that twinning ts pass- ing down thru the generations in some families, while in other fam Mies no case of twins has occurred within human recollection. Moreover, the study of these hu- man documents on heredity show not only that human twinning is an hereditary trait, but it is one ‘hich may be transmitted in paler ral as well as maternal germ plasms. The coming of twins into a fam- may be considered a calamity by scme people, but their arrival is predestined; they do not come by accident.

The one thing they were most fearful of was inter- ference that woula make for peace instead of war. ‘They had thelr way the world was the lives of several million men—60,000 of them Amer. feans, Today, Wednesday, April 37, 1921, the funkers of France are just as frienziedly preparing for war, They feel that their dream of conquest— & conquest of Europe almost as am bitious In its scope as that of the insane kalser—is about to be real | ized.

That proposal might mean | peace. If not acceptable in itself, it | would in any case mean delay, which in turn might result in peace. FRANCE USING | TECHNICAL POINTS France does not want peace At }least Premier Briand and President Millerand, struggling with one an- |other for predominance in French | politics, do not want peace. By a strained technical interpre tation of the Versailles treaty they |have an excuse for marching into Germany May 1, and they are bend ling every effort to prevent interfer- |encé, American interference in par. | ticular, The American government has only to say that {t considers It worth while to delay drastic action until Germany’s latest offer has been con |widered. France is not likely to fly in the face of such a statement by Secretary Hughes, If the secretary makes this state ment there will be rage in Paris |among the military men and the bit | terneas of the French people may be aroused temporartly against us. Every economist and statesman tn America agrees that all hope of re |turn to normal conditions in this |country, let alone in the rest of the world, would be set back seriously by French military operations now in Germany This is an occasion for a coura geous secretary of state to say: “To the devil with diplomatic ett |quette, The peace must be kept.” eee | LONDON, April 28.—-The German reparations proposals are “thoroly unsatisfactory,” Lloyd George told the house of commons today.
