Eight Acre Tra~t an Glen Flora and North Avenues, Way Be Subdivision. Plans for paying off a big part of the Victory Memorial hospital debt came to a definite head Tuesday eve-- ning when the board of directors ap-- pointed a committee to consider the advisability of placing eight acres of bospital land on the market. The track under consideration lies directly west of the hospital and along Glen Flora and North avenues, D. T. Alshuler was named chairman of the committee, and H. C. Litchfield and Dr. F. C. Knight as members. It is thought that 40 choice build-- ing lots can be obtained from the tract. wOUuLD MA®*=© FORTY LOTS The committee will start an im-- mediate investigation . and present their report to the board at the next meeting or a specia!l conference. Real estate men state that $40,000 would be the minimum that could be realized from such a piece of prop erty and probably a much higher con-- sideration. Whether it would bring more sold as one piece, in blocks or as a sub-- division will be contained in,. the re-- port of the invesiigation committee. The property is an ideal strip. It is high, level, situated in the heart of a fine residential section, fronts the car line on one side and fronts one of the main --arteries of the city on the. other. it Such a move would necessitate a quick sale, it is claimed. For this reason a price could not be demanded that would bring the consideration popular in that neighborhood. DEFER ACTION ON ---- FULL TIME COUNTY --HEALTH OFFICER Refer Matter to Hospital Com mittee Following Talks by Noted Health Authorities. Isaac D. Rawlings, director of the Iliinois State Department of Public Health ,the first speaker, declared that Lake county hi bsen one of the foremost in caalling upon the state health officers for aid in contagious work and is receiving a large share of the work being done by the seven state health officers in this district. Dr. 'Perrin, also of the state healith department, stdted that a full time health officer, co--operating with the authorities in the various townships; would be able to same the county money through prevention of con:-- tagion. CONTAGION GROWING HERE it was stated that six per cent. of the tax money spent for educational purposes in public schools is wasted on account of pupils being out of school because of iliness, quarantine, afd failure of dullards to .learn as rapidly as their classmates. % Tne county board, aiter hearing u number of short talks by state deau-- ers in the promotion oi good health, urging the appointinf of a full time health pbysician for Lake . county, late Tuesday voted to reler the mat-- ter to the bospital committee. .

There have been various modifications of Darwin's theory; for example, the theory of development through the use and disuse of parts of the body (which Darwin adapted from Lammarck) has been discredited by all but a very few NeoLammarckians, but the sur-- vival of the fittest to survive through evolutionary proc : remains unchat fenged in sctern reles.
