PRR EY Province An Eastern potentate once ask- ed a group of his courtiers whom they thought the greatest man, himself or his father, At first, he could eilcit no reply to so don- gerous a question, At last a wily old courtier said: "Your father, sire, for, though you are equal to your father in all otfRér respects, in this he is superior to you-- that he had a greater son than any you have." He was promoted on the spot. It is impossible to be too sav- ing for the general good---and even for the individual good. There is an element 'of warning in the following brief pseudo biography from Punch: Here lies a man who saved hig all For days when rain and snow should fall; He knew no pleasures, shared no game, And died before the blizzard came, Bed-clothes were set on during a recent Sheet lightning? fire thunderstorm. Heredity and Environment Combine to Create Traits In Man, Animals, Plants All peculiarities of plants, ani- mals and man probably are in part a matter of environment and in part a matter of heredity, says Prof, R. A. Emerson, The effects of heredity and environment on plants and animals are discussed in the following article: By R. A. Emerson Professor of Plant Breeding, Cor- nell University (Copyright, 1931, by The Associated Press) Ithaca, N.Y.--I have a kind of corn which ordinarily has white ears, but if the husks are removed before the kernels are hardened in ripening the ears become red. If the husks are stripped off from only one side of the ear, the ker- nels thus exposed to the light be- comes red and those kept in dark- ness remain white. The hered- ity of the whole ear is the same; and yet the kernels that ripened in one environment, sunlight, are red white while those in another environment, darkness, are white. I have another kind of corn that alwayg produces red kernels whether exposed to the light or not. I have also a third kind that never has red kernels even when the developing ear is ex- posed. We cannot say that red kernels as such are inherited. What actually is inherited is the ability to develop red color in the presence of, strong light, the abil- ity to react with light to produce red and to react with darkness to produce white kernels. I suspect that all peculiarities of plants, animals and man are part a matter of environment and in part a matter of heredity. 1 do not think of these effects of heredity and of environment as being at all antagonistic, Many questions grow out of this conception of the interaction of heredity and environment. What about changing one's here- dity or at least the heredity of one's children by changing one's environment? Will training a race horse properly so that he breaks a world's record make his colts better runners than they would have been had he not been trained at all Will forcing a dairy cow by the best feed and care to give the utmost quantity of milk of which she is capable make her progeny give more milk than they would have given had she been allowed to rustle for her living on a dry western range? Will training our children in mu- gic give our grandchildren natur- al musicians? Some have believed that these questions could be given an affir- mative answer, but I know of no crueial evidence to support such answers, Most of the so-called evidence 'that has Deen' presented is worthless. We cannot conduct controlled experiments with hu- mans and even our domestic ani. CONVENT PUPILS SUCCESSFUL IN MUSIC EXAMS .

Wheat, for instance, is self-pollinated, and barring rare accidental cross-pol- lination the seedlings grown from a single wheat plant all have iden- tically the same heredity. Such a pure line of wheat was grown on rich soil for twenty years and another lot of the same pure line on very poor soil for the same length of time. Throughout these twenty generations the plants on rich soil were large and productive while the small plants grown on poor soil yielded little more sced than enough to main- tain the line. At the end of this twenty-year period, the two lots were planted side by side on uni- form soil. And with what re- sult? the plants of both lots were as nearly identical as any two lots of wheat could be. Not a measureable difference was found between them. Now, what relation does %ll this have to the practice of plant or animal breeding, and what re- lation to the education and train- ing of our children? I do not see that it need modify our prac- tice in these respects at all. The breeder of animals will continue to force his dairy cows and run- ning horses to do their best, not because this will change directly the hereditary abilities of the pro- genies of these animals but be- cause in no other way can he tell whether the heredity of his breed- ing animals is such that they can respond to good feed or to rigor- ous training. In no other way can he select the best for breed- ing purposes. Again, in the matter of educat- ing our children we shall continue to give them such advantages as we can. If they have inherited the ability to react well to good environment and less well to poor surroundings, it behooves us to give them as favorable surround- ings and as good an education as we can. We hear much about softening the fiber of human kind through the influence of a pampering civili zation, There is, perhaps, some truth in this idea. Although a soft environment does not change the heredity of an individual, does not make a weak individual here- dity out of a strong one, such an environment does make it possi- ble for weak hereditary strains in the human stock to6 propagate their kind, whereas, in a more rigorous: environment, only the more virile strains of humans could persist. FINGERS AND EARS CAN BE PURCHASED Offer of $500 For Shapely Digit For Grafting Purposes London,--~An advertisement ap- peared in a newspaper offering "one dred pounds for a shapely finger of a healthy woman for grafting pur- poses." The owner of the finger was not to be more than 45 years of age. Would sell a finger for £100? That some people, at any rate, are quite willing to do so is proved by the fact that within the next few days the advertiser had no fewer than 27 replies. In America there is a regular tar- iff for this sort of thing. A thous- and dollars was recently offered for an ear to be grafted on to the son of a wealthy man, while human skin for grafting fetches, on an average of $50 per square inch, Punishment by Proxy In old days the bodies of royal princes were Supposed to'be too sacred to be touched by a cane, so each prince had a "whipping-boy", who was paid quite a good wage to act as proxy and take the beatings which the prince's ill-conduct had merited. This sort of thing still persists in Tunis, where no one rich enough to afford a substitute would dream of going to prison. There is a story that the great Sir 'Francis Drake, in a fit of rage, once cut off the head of a cabin-boy, and that the mother of the boy set a curse upon the Drake family, saying "No male child will be born in the Drake family uhtil a member of the family lives in the dungeons of Shardeloes, the home of the Drakes, for seven years, or a stranger for 14 years." The present head of the family Edward Drake had four daughters, but no sons, and it is a fact that the squire 'recently receiyed a letter from a stranger offering to "do time" in these dungeons for 14 Mid-Summer DOLLAR DAYS Continues Saturday with Heaps of Fresh Bargains years. The price demanded has not been made public. Vanity vs, Cash Belgrade has a newspaper, the Varodny List, the editors of which had so often been imprisoned for political offences that at last the owner issued the following advertis- ment, "Whoever wishes a snug berth in this cold weather can apply at our office for the post of responsible editor at £2 a day. We will see that he is supplied with good food dur- ing his stay in the State prison." Next morning a crowd of nearly fifty men was waiting outside the office, all eager to be imprisoned at £2 a day. One might hardly imagine that anv woman would agree to call her- self ugly. Yet listen. A firm of florists in St. Louis Missouri, could not keep a pretty girl as cashier be- cause each in turn got married. Af- ter losing seven girls in two years, the firm in desperation, advertised for. an "ugly cashier." The salary offered was thirty dollars a week, Within three days they had no fewer than 250 applicants for the post. One more proof of how money talks. MAPLE GROVE (Miss Mary Snowden, Correspon- dent) Maple Grove, July 21.-- Miss Ruth Armstrong, R.N., Grace Hos- pital, Toronto, spent the week- end with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. R, H. Armstrong, Miss Laura Thompson, Toronto, spent the week-end at Mr, A. Laird's. Mr. Noble Metcalf had bis ton- sils removed in Oshawa, on Sat- urday, and remained for a few days with his cousins, Mr, and Mrs. Cyril Luke. Mr, and Mrs, D. H, Coates and son, Dr. L. H. Coates, Brantforq, motored down on Saturday and visited her brother, Mr. T. J. Cole, Mrs. Coates is spending a couple of weeks here with her brother. Mr. and Mrs. John Tunnicliffe, Oshawa, recently visited at Mr. George Harris', Mr. Ray Snowden, Toronto, has been spending his holidays with his parents here. On Thursday evening last the Newcastle young ladies journeyed to Maple Grove to play a league game of softball. In a very closely contested game the visit- ors carried off the honors. On Friday evening the Bow- manville young ladies' team was not as successful here. Almost the entire game was played in the rain. The home team won by several runs. On Monday evening of this week, our girls went to Hamp- ton to play another league game. At first the game was very one- sided in favor of Hampton, but as the game progressed our girls picked up and their score was was crawling up dangerously near that of their opponents when the game was called at the end of the seventh innings on account of darkness. Ser We are looking forward to. a game with the Solina girls here on Friday evening. Various words were being de- fined by the class. Finally the teacher turned to Johnny and asked, "What is velocity?" "Velocity is what a fellow lets go of a bee with," promptly re- plied the youngster, Look your Best on your Special Holiday Prices on our Permanent Waves Our reg. $5.00 for $4.00 and our $7.50 for $6.00 We also guarantee our $10.00 | Special Oil Wave Phone appointments 1973 or 3000 GENOSHA HOTEL HAIRDRESSING PARLORS Coffee Shoppe Entrance Betty Ward, Grace Marshall, formerly of the Betty Lou.
