M'LtSS CITES SEVEN RULES
' FOR WOULD-BE "EUGENISTS"
t
.THose Interested in the Betterment of the Race
Should Read Tract Authorized by
Life Extension Institute
tr0UBTIjESS tno tv Southern girls who are tho first to enroll In the Natlonat
xJ Race Betterment Association havo put themselves In the position of targets
tot tho Jokesmtths. "Watchful wnltlnn;" and other similar "chestnuts" will bo
hurled at them by those who bellovo the science of eugenics to bo merelj' a
fierce gome played by advanced young women, who desire for husbands a.
creature mostly resembling a composite of the best qualities of Apollo Bclvedero,
Adonis and Jess Willnrd.
But eugenics Is more than thK In an Interesting book compiled by tho
Hygiene Board of the Life Extension Institute, with a preface by no less 11
person that William Howard Taft, It Is donned as tho sclenco of the "conscious
betterment of the human stock." In this book, written by Prof, Irvlnar Fisher,
of Tale, nnd Dr. Eugene Lyman L'lsk, soven Important rules are formulated
which should bo of moment to tho person seriously Interested in eugenics.
They arot
1. Learn to analyze Individuals Into their Inheritable traits physical, mental
ftnd moral,
2. Differentiate between socially noblo nnd Ignoble traits, between social nnd
educational veneer and sterling Inherent capacity.
3. Do not expect physical, mental and moral perfection In any one Indl
idual, but look for a majority of sterling traits.
4. Observe tho presence or absenco of specific traits in Individuals at nil
bges of successlvo generations and fraternities of a family line.
6, Learn how to estimate the Inhcrltablllty of such traits in a family line,
upon specific mating with another family line.
6. Join your family lino to ono which is strong in respect to the traits In
which yours is weak.
7. Remombor that injuries can bo Inflicted on offspring by unhygienic living.
Most of tho opponents of tho eugenic movement hold that an accept
ance of It to a great degrco will mean the passing away of tho good old
j soul-stirring, heart-throbbing sentiment; that It will mean tho elimination of
that intanglblo something, tho definition of which oven tho Immortal Webster
has fallon down on love.
But although this book emphasizes the need of a State Eugenics Board,
I It assures us the eugenics does not mean compulsory or govcrnment-mado
marriages, nor does it necessitate that the human slock hn Imnrnveil hv mat.
1 Ings that nro academically ideal, but which lack tho clement of "individual
i attraction and instinctive, lovo."
On tho whole. It's an interesting tract, the name of which I will gladly
let any ono have who Is interested.
Almost Correct
"Tho Inside of the Pup" and tho "Adenoids of Virgil" are two books Tor
which a Philadelphia librarian wus recently asked. She wasn't really
stumped, however, until a youngster requested her to show him n picture of
, "The Spinach." Long did she puzzle nnd long did she hunt.
"You know, lady," ho explained when she pressed him for a description,
"It's a big stone lady In Africa or Egpt, somewhere."
Then sho know that ho meant the Sphln.

"No secrets between a married pair," warns the Row I. Chnntry Hoff
rnan. "That's all right," a woman I know' retorts, "If all married women were
financially Independent. Then thcro'd bo no reason for secrets. But suppose
you must ask your husband for every cent you get and suppose that ho objects
to tho theatro nnd you don't. Bellevo me. that's tho tlmo to prove that tho
dominant male still exists. That's tho way that secrets between husbands
nnd wives have their origin. Put It down to tho narrow-mindedness of the
dominant malo and you havo your answer. So long as he exists, there are
going to be secrots between married pairs." M'LISH.

By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D,
GRADUALLY we nro overcoming the
hoary old superstition that anything
with a powerful odor will keep off disease.
And tho best of our modern antiseptics or
germicides are odorlos.s. Carbolic acid, In
solution or In salve, does have a nice, heal
ing sort of odor, If ou like that sort of
smell But it Is one of tho most harmful
antlbcptlcs you can use
Carbolic arid Is an alcohol, not nil acid.
Phenol Is the official name for It. It re
ceived tho niimo of "acid" because of its
caustic effect In contact w.h living tissue
Tho local antidote for that caustic or burn
ing effect Is alcohol grain alcohol. One
may bathe the finger with pure phenol for
a luiuuto. and when It has turned white,
bathe It with pure alcohol, and the effect
Is completely neutralized Remember that.
In the event of an accidental burn with
carbolic The remedy Is alcohol, freely
and continuously npplled.
This caustic action of phenol renders It
utterly unlit for antiseptic use No ono
would think of dressing a wound with car
bolic dressings nowadays, unless he were
willing to assume tho responsibility for
any poisonous effects which might, ensue
A strong carbollo ucid solution, kept for u
considerable time on a simple cut or
wound, sometimes causes gnngrene. It
always delays healing, bccaue it destroys
the delicate new skin cells Carbolic was
the original antlsoptlc Introduced Into sur
gery by the fathor of antlsepla, Lord Lis
terbut Lister himself eventually learned
the dreadful poisonods properties of
phenol Carbollo Is the type of all germi
cides, the standard with which any al
leged germicide is compared in tests But
the drug is so exceedingly harmful that
there Is no longer Justification for employ
ing It as an antiseptic, whatever other
Uhe.s It may have In medicine. There are
plenty of safer antiseptics to take its
place for instance, boric acid solution, or
tincture of iodine.
Peroxide, that other standby of the
household medicine chest, Is a Joke. It
will grow germs If you don't wntch It
and It will drlvo germs deeply into tho
wound If you do And the watching of
the bubbles constitutes tho whrtlo charm
of this antiseptic. You see It work
whether to your advautago or your dis
advantage doesn't matter. It looks Inter
esting. And It comes high.
Take away tho odor, tho foam and the
funcy prico fiom theso two chemicals and
what have you loft?
Just enough danger to mnke them exciting.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Still Outgrowing It
I am 22 years old and have had a run
ning ear for 1C years. Doctors havo
given me medicine and told mo I would
outgrow It I nm almost deaf In the bad
car. nnd my other ear Is Infocted. An
ear specialist gave mo vaccine treatment,
which Improved tho conditions, but did
not quite stop the discharge
Answer We supposed tho doctors had
outgrown the habit, but evldi-ntly they
are still at It. Why not keep on with
the vaccine treatment? That, plus the
open-air life. Herp Is a rule without ex
ceptions: No onu over outgrows any dis
ease. Thyroid Treatment
What effect would thyroid tablets have
on a very stout person If taken under a
doctor's prescription? It worries mo
some, as many doctors say thyroid Is
harmful.
Answer If your doctor prescribes it for
you and sees you at regular Intervals It
Is absolutely right. It will work miracles
In proper cases. But thyroid Is like a
surgical scalpel not for self-treatment
Just what advantages nro open to the
stenographer, tho simplest, most ordinary
kind of n stenographer who holds down
n "Inti" nnd nnthlnt- Mora lUSt What thlS
girl can mnko herself If sho makes up her
mind to learn Is shown by tho career of
Miss Julia Blankenberg, who, by tho way,
Is not related to our ex-Mayor. Miss
Blankenberg camo to Philadelphia and
took the first chanco which came her
way. In this case an opportunity to uo
stenography for a largo engineering con
cern.
"I wasn't holding a position then," sho
tells you "I was Just hanging on to what
I could get because I hnd to eat. Little
by little I made use of overy detail, overy
bit of Information which would glvo mo n
better Idea of tho business After becom
ing office mnnuger nnd private sccrotnry
I got my presonl position Just what you
would call this I don't know, but I should
call It 'oulclal phraser, for ono thing.
"When we undertake to appraise a
property, wo send experts in this line
out to the place Now theso men, In nine
cases out of ten, know exactly what they
nre talking nbout when they send In re
ports of conditions, but they hnvo neither
the tlmo nor the power to write this out.
I have to edit all tho reports, not only on
engineering, but on nny subject which
comes In my line of work. This Includes
everything from Iron castings to Bhoe fac
tories. If wo nre appraising a shoe fac
tory, I must bo entirely familiar with the
output, tho financial expenditure, the la
bor system and all tho details of tho work
In that place. If there Is a decimal out
of place in one of tho men's reports, I
must be able to son It. Some of theso re
ports cover 20, and some 200 pages. Theso
must bo digested, and the conclusion
drawn.
"By drawing a conclusion I menu that
I, as secretary of ono of the members of
tho firm, nm in touch with tho firm's pol
icy on such matters and I find out, before
I rend a report, their principles of action
of tho subject. It stands to reason that
these principles must be Just nnd tho con
clusion valid, becauso It means that per
haps hundreds of Innocent pcoplo nre wait
ing to invest in tho concern which Is under
investigation. My work, then, Is to cx
amlno tho data on hand, verify tho ap
praisals, correct tho figures, If there nro
any corrections, nnd draw a conclusion
fiom these details which will bo satisfac
tory to all concerned.
"It takes experience to learn theso
things, but a woman Is fitted for tho work
to n certain extent. I hnvo noticed the
difference between men and women In this
work. Men nro nble to plan big Issues, to
construct great works, but it takes a wom
an to look after tho small things, 'to co
ordinate the detnlls, so to speak. I havo
made myself entirely familiar with the
way small communities nro managed In
FcnnHlvnnla, for Instance.
"One year I traveled over 1!) counties
taking notes of the conditions. 1 met mill
workers, social workers, expert construc
tion men; I climbed mountains and In ono
caso rodo over 170 miles of transmission
lino with binoculars In my hands looking
for breaks In the Insulation.
"I nm not a graduate engineer, but I
have to know engineering terms suf
ficiently well to use thorn Intelligibly and
correctly. The management of public
utility works Is our greatest task and the
most interesting ono. Wo nro dlsclnles
of the famous efficiency expert, Fred Wlns
low Taylor. Rverythlng Is elllclency to
day but, unfortunately for us. It Is not
possible to put your hand on any ono
quality and call It efllclency. However,
applying the working principles of sci
entific management to a. big concern, mak
ing a classification of expenses according
to tho Tuylor principles, Is wonderfully In
teresting. It means that you can take
in hand the working routine of a great
concern, improve It, do away with the
slightest waste, help tho emplojes in ways
which nre incalculably valuable for the
present nnd the futuro and learn some
thing new at the samo time.
"Speaking of efllclency methods, I want
to tell you what I havo nutlet U In my
reports, not only now, but during the last
nine years that I have been doing this
work. There never was a tlmo when
employers nnd industrial managers did
more for their workers than today. They
have bettered conditions at least 100 per
cent, inero is no comparison between
the present and past methods. In this one
case, at least, tho old way Is by no
means the best "
