JTICE HOYT SUGGESTS
BEST ENFORCEMENT PLAN.
ranklin Chase Hoyt, presiding
sice of the New York City Child-
y's Court, has been declared win-
of the $25,000 prize contest for
best temperance plan, sponsored
the Hearst newspapers.
he plan, in brief, suggested a re-
1 of the Volstead Act, by a new
gressional definition of intoxica-
liquors, which would make pos-
e light wines and beers under
te control.
ustice Hoyt expressed his opin-
that the Eighteenth Amendment
1d not be replaced for many years
some. He drew a distinction be-
en distilled and fermented liquors,
ing “distillation is the act of man
has been responsible for prac-
Aly all the evils which “liquor has
icted upon the human race while
mentation is the act of nature,
| that to many must mean, in the
st reverential sense, the act of
| Bed
fis plan would bar “all alcoholic
ducts of distillation,” but would
mit the control, manufacture and
» of all malt, brewed and fer-
ated beverages by the States with-
their own borders.
\11 four of the prize-winning plans
eed with the present impractica-
ty of repealing or amending the
‘hteenth ‘Amendment, the Award
mittee announced. The plans
ther agreed, “specifically or by
slication, in the desirability of re-
ning to the States the fullest
asure of control, especially in the
tter of light wines and beer.”
Justice Hoyt,” adaea the commit-
statement, “goes directly to the
«rt of the problem of making pos-
le the return of light wines and
rs under State control ard retain-
. Federal prohibition of distilled
rits under a workable definition
‘the words “intoxicating liquor”
contained in the Eighteenth
aendment.”
Justice Hoyt based his plan on the
smise that the proposal to per-
t the States at their option to dis-
ase liquor will never prove accept-
le and that a possible modification
the Volstead Act as to the alcohol-
content of beverages offers no
ul solution of the problem.
Je contended, however, that the
eal of the Volstead act and “an
\toxicating liquors” and “alcoholic
verages” would offer a solution

A SERMON ON TREES.
We were rushing along through
the fat semi-barren lands of Montana. |
Great stretches of prairie land. gray
with sage brush, spread out before |
us, with here and there a green patch !
of fresh growing grain. The farm- :
yards with the low two or three
roomed dwelling houses stood bare
and treeluss under the burning sun. |
There was an unobstructed view
across the plain to the rocky buttes
along the horizon. To a middle-west- |
erner used to trees and gardens gay
with flowers it was a cheerless, al- |
most depressing scene.
A man from Alaska was sitting
across the aisle from me looking out
gloomily upon the waste of bad lands.
“They can have the whole d—d
place for all of me,” he remarked to
me finally. “I don’t want none of |
it. I've got to have trees.”
I had supposed, ignorantly, of
course, never having been farther
north than Prince Rupert, that gold
and icebergs constituted the chief
products of Alaska, but my neighbor
assured me that there are all sorts
of trees in Alaska. His statement
made me want more than ever to go
there, for, like him, I don’t see quite
how I could get on without trees. A
house without trees about it stands
out naked and unadorned, beaten by
the winter winds and scorched by
the burning sun of midsummer.
When we moved from a wooded
farm to the prairies when I was
seven, the first thing father did af-
ter the house was built was to sur-
round the place with trees brought
from the timber lands along the Ver-
million—maples and quick growing '
poplars, and elms and syacmores
and little tapering red cedars, which
he kept trimmed into curious geomet
rical shapes. He liked them SO
well that he dropped seeds of the
soft maple in the hedge rows about
the farm, so that it was not long un-
til there was a row of maples shoot-
ing up all along the roadway. We
seemed safer; we were more con-
tented, the place took on a greater
air of comfort and homelikeness with
the trees about.
When Nancy and I came to build
our bouse there was a huge maple
tree standing in the center of the
lot just where the house would nat-
urally sit. We gazed at it tower-
ing up into the sky and the longer
we looked the more impossible it
seemed for us to sacrifice it. The
house stands today farther back
from the street than any other, and
in front of it stands the old maple
like a guardian angel, its branches
spreading out and furnishing coul
shade during the hot summer.
“Why did you build your house £0
far back?” every one asked us. It
would have seemed sacrilege to have
Left-Handed Children
Born With That Trait
From families in which one or both
of the parents are left-handed we get
a percentage of 17.34 per cent of the
children left-handed, while in fam-
. ilies in which neither of the parents
are left-handed only 2.1 per cent of
the children are left-handed. If left-
handedness is not inherited we would
not find more than 5 per cent of the
children left-handed in any of these
families, regardless of the handed
ness of their parents.
It is very evident that there Is some
sex influence manifested in the in-
heritance of left-handedness as shown
by the larger number of left-handed
boys in this population. It is also
apparently transmitted differently
| where the father is left-handed, as
note the small number of left-handed
girls in these families. There can be
no doubt that the trait is inherited.
Siemens presents 21 cases of ap-
parent identical twins in which one
was left-handed and the other right-
handed, and cites this as evidence
that left-handedness is not an heredi-
tary factor. The probable explana-
tion of this is mirror imaging. so
often found in identical twins, or it
may possibly be the prenatal position
of the right-handed twin, which would
prevent it from developing into a left-
handed one.—Journal of Heredity.
Science Explains Why
Man Has Superiority
In an address before the Londor
Royal College of Surgeons, Sir Ar-
thur Keith presented some interest-
ing facts about the brain of early
man. The cast of the brain in fos-
silized skulls is usually quite distinct.
so that its size can be measured al-
though its owner died half a million
years ago. The Pithecanthropus. the
fossil man of Java, was at the stage
of brain development where he was
just learning the rudiments of speech.
since his brain weighed about thirty
ounces. It is when the brain reaches
. that weight that a child learns to
speak. The primitive brain, however,
lacked the ability to associate ideas.
J¢ is said that man’s brain developed
more than that of the other animals
hecause nature had placed the factor
of safety in his brain rather than in
the muscles. That is, he was de-
pendent upon his brain in an emer-
gency, while the lower animals exert-
ed their muscles to their fullest ex-
tent when placed in a predicament.—
