fan Francisco of | i Brivine, Mag; New York sffieg f P > ~ i Breeding From Scrubs i Man has improved the hen about 200 per cent in 30 4 Years. A few years ago a hen that would lay 200 eggs a today there are flo of hundreds of hens that exceed this record year after year. The improvement in chickens was done by trap nest mg, to discover the hens that were the best layers; by hatching their eggs, by trap, nesting their offspring; by culling and eliminating until a fixed, heavy ing, non- ; i Setting egg machine was evolved. And yet a few years ia: ago it was proclaimed as a scientific impossibility to in- a: Crease the egy production of a because a hen was Presumed to be destined from time immemorial to lay so Many eggs, to be hatched with those eggs within her, in embryo. So particular is this work of chicken selection that marked eggs from extra fancy stock frequently © hatched inside of little net bags so each « is known and marked at birth; frequently prize-winning hens pro- duce throw-backs that are utterly unfit for breeding purposes and the net method alone would discover this. Man has done this in 30 years with chickens, and in Something !ike 7,000,000 years he hasn't raised his own : mental or physical average a darn bit. ia Men are no stronger in the head or in the back than they were 50,000 years ago. There has been, thru the aeons, a slight and steady uplift, but nature has been left 3 to take its course with man. Had nature been left to take © its course with chickens we might have attained the 200- egg hen 7,000,000 years hence, and we might never attained it, for nature is often satisfied with a mediocre prodact. Man could become as the angels in half a dozen gene tions if he would permit himself to be eliminated as brecder unless his progeny showed a marked improve- ment on the parent; but there is no likelihood of this be- / ing done. Indeed the strain will probably grow less virile and less clever, since our modern humanitarian system is to preserve the weaklings, the half wits, and the morons and allow them to freely propagate. Meantime we, thru 2 economic necessity, force the virile, intelligent, higher 4 types of families to sharply restrict their progeny. If | farmers butchered al! their 200 hens and bred from the i 60-egg scrubs there wouldn’t be much to year was a marvel; rtp are ker the national ff omelet. af 3 ny 4 ‘This world could be twice as bad as it is.

At the present rate of growth, f it will soon be the greatest of all. It contains 110,000 Volumes, and is being added to at an 8,000-volumes-a- year clip. A real achievement, no doubt. But consider what a Storehouse of red tape, confused verbiage, and worse than useless legislation it must be. 4 Quantity rather than quality has long predominated in ‘affairs of the law. A law library strives for size. A Tegal document depends on length for its authority. B Clarity gives way to confusion when a lawyer puts pen ‘to paper. ; Tn the early days of the English courts there was a 1 good reason for the length of law papers. The copyists 4 ‘were paid so much per word. The more words, the more * pay, and so nine words were made to serve where one 4 would suffice. The law loves a precedent. Hence the continuation im of the early verbosity, even tho the cause is removed. No doubt a research library must gather all possible 5 Jaws, documents and records of quibbling, but would not seis ansiadattet 3 4 @ university law library maintained for the education of @p lawyers-to-be serve a useful purpose by breaking with 4 the past and placing the emphasis on clarity and quality t Father than on confusion and quantity? ‘m —s- Would it not be possible to gather between two covers | enough legal rudiments to give life to the expression, “Burn the law libraries, for their substance is here’? ff The big picture hats, they say, are returning.
