W««Fr»» SCHOOL 3 GETS GIH OF BOOKS FOR PUPILS'USE BIRD CLUB HEARS HEREDITY TALK BY MISS KNOWLES Ex-Wife Witness In Poison Trial Historical Books, Fiction, and Talks On Practical Genetics Books For Young Reader Included. The library at Public School 3 has had a visit from a fairy god- mother, keenly interested in the welfare of the school, who has presented 48 carefully selected books from a fascinating library. To the boys and girls, who read the story of history enthusiastic- ally, the gift collection offers his- torical novels ranging in period from pre-Revolutionary to past Civil War days, "Lena Wingo, the Mohawk," by Edward Ellis and "An Apache Princess," a tale of the Indian frontier portray Indian life in the East and in the West. James Otis shows the thrilling times of the Revolution in "The Boys of Fort Schuyler." Next in chronological sequence belongs Hezekiah Butterworth's "In the Days of Jefferson," or "The Six Golden Horseshoes," while the war of 1812 stands forth through the adventures of a pri- vateer vessel in "The Cruise of the Comet," another work of James Otis. The Civil War setting is the hasis of Edward Eggleston's, "The Graysons; a story of Abraham Lincoln" and of "The Victory," by Molly Elliot Seawell. Animal stories possess a perpet- ual appeal, and the gift includes John Muir's ever popular tale of a dog, "Strickeen and Beasts of the Field," a most attractive book and a delightfully intimate narration of animal ways, by William J. Long. Those humorous masterpieces for the child, '"The Jungle Book" and "The Second Jungle Book" repre- sent Rudyard Kipling and the whimsical wit of A. A. Milne is manifest in "The House at Post Corner." There are so many famous fig- ures of American history that it is almost impossible to maintain an adequate store of reference ma- terial. "Giants of the Republic" contains valuable information, con- cise and clearly presented. The feminine figures are represented In Pamaliel Bradford's "Portraits of American Women," while "Mem- ories of An American Lady," an autobiographical work of Mrs. Anne Grant, is a decided asset for knowledge of the 1300s. Max W. Reid wrdte "The Story of Old Fort Johnson and The Kayaderosseras Creek," one of the books in the gift. This is inter- esting not only from its local back- ground, but also from its literary merit as a vivid account of adven- turous men and of perilous days. Martin Ives' book entitled Through the Adirondacks m Eighteen Days," is unique, an ani- mated itinerary of a journey in the closing day3 of the nineteenth cen- tury. . Of fiction some of the books In- cluded are: Amelia Barr's "A Song of a Single Note," "My Lady Ca- price," by Jeffery Farnol; "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" by John Fox, Sr.; "The Lady of the Decoration" by Fran- ces Luttle; "Emmy Lou" by George Madden Martin; "Cornalli" by Jo- hanna Spyri; "The Calico Cat" by Charles Miner Thompson and "Dear Enemy," by Jean Webster. For the youngest readers, too, there is a prize in C. B. Fall's "A. B. C. Book;" Leroy F. Jack- son's "Billy Bumpkins;" and G. E. Studdy's "Uncle's Animal's Book" and the "Indian's Book," a compil- ation of songs, legends and tradi- tions of various tribes.

An interesting talk on cell life of plants, vegetables, and animals was given last evening at the meeting of the Bird and Nature Study Club at the home of the Misses Mary Jane Ralph and Kath- erine Louise Ralph in Woodlawn avenue, the speaker being Miss Marian E. Knowles, assistant pro- fessor of Biology of Skidmore College. "Genetics Is the study of inherit- ance," Said Miss Knowles in part," "It may be considered from both the theoretical and the practical point of view. (Although some people don't believe it, the theore- tical is often the practical as well.) I'm going to omit details about the mechanism of heredity except where it seems 'practical* to in- clude them. "First, what kinds of things ere inherited? In plants, there are such things as flower-color, height, vig- or, fruit-flavor, fruit-size and shape. In animals, there are size, fur or hair-color, length of fur, eye-color, disposition, and glandular activity. These are called unit characters, each of which has at least two al- lelomorphs. These tiro rather un- familiar terms may be explained very simply in this way. In peas, for example, green is the allelo- morph of yellow in the unit char- acter of seed-color; smooth is the allelomorph of wrinkled in the unit character of seed-shape. In rabbits, short Is the allelomorph of angora in the unit character *if fur-length. In man, color-blindness is the allelomorph of normal in the unit character of color-vision. "Now, how are these unit char- acters inherited? It has been proven very convincingly that they are inherited by means of determiners (called genes) present in the reproductive cells of the parents. Each egg and each sperm contains one gene for each unit character of the species. Therefore, the fertilized egg, and each cell of the Individual which develops from it, contains two full sets of these determiners, or, in other words, a pair of genes for each unit character of the species. If the parents were alike for any unit character, then their offspring would receive like genes; but if the male parent showed one allelo- morph and the female showed the other, then their offspring would be termed hybrids. Often one al- lelomorph Is dominant over* the other, so that the hybrid will res- semble the dominant parent, even while containing the gene for the recessive allelomorph in its cells. It can be shown that a hybrid may pass on either gene to its off- spring, but not both ;o the.same > one. The offspring of hybrids may, therefore, show a recombina- tion of unit characters entirely dif* ferent from the original forms. "Hybrid plants and animals are often more vigorous than either of the parents. For this reason, plant and animal breeders fre- quently find a good market for their hybrids. But the recombina- tions which occur in the offspring of hybrids make them uncertain to breed from. Plant breeders may overcome this difficulty by the use or slips, buds, bulbs and graft- ing, instead of using the seeds from hybrids. These methods, of course, would not work with animals, so it is usually better to cross the two parent forms each time hybrid animals are desired. Another reason, too, for these methods is that hybrids from par- ents of differing species may be sterile. The classic example of this is the mule, which is a cross between a male ass and a female horse. Mules cannot reproduce (except the females rarely.) Com- mon examples of hybrid plants which are usually produced com- mercially by cuttings, grafting, slips, bulbs, etc. are concord grapes, many of our most beauti- ful roses, peonies, iris, narcissus and tulips, some potatoes, tom- atoes, strawberries and cucumbers, and practically all fruit trees. "Probably you are all interested in the inheritance of sex and sex- linked characters in man. To ex- plain this clearly, it is necessary TEA TABLE CHAT r«/"»on From Mallorcan ! MRS.

THty USt THE BURROWS /WADE flrV PPAIRIB DOGS AND OTMBR. ANIMALS. ^ ^ - ^ ^ THE FIRST COMPASS WAS A MAGNETIZED NlBDLt STUCK THROUGH A CORK FLOATING {PI VNw""!? mm' to be little more technical. In the cells of all organisms the genes are borne on pairs of allelomorphic chromosomes, the number of which is constant for each species. Human cells contain twenty-four pairs of these chromosomes. Of these, one pair seems definitely to have something to do with sex de- termination. In the female, the two sex chromosoms are both call- ed X chromosomes; while in the male, one is an X chromosome and the other is a Y chromosome. When the eggs and sperms are formed in their respective sex or- gans, one chromosome from each of the twentyrfour pairs passes in- to each egg or sperm, which then contains twenty-four single chro- mosomes. All eggs therefore, would contain one X chromosome; but some sperms would contain an X chromosome and some would contain a Y chromosome. If a sperm containing an X chromo- some unites with an egg, a female will develop. If a sperm contalng a Y chromo- some unites with an egg, a male will develop. Any unit characters whose genes are borne on the sex chromosomes are said to be sex- linked. Two of these are color- blindness and haemophilia. The genes of both, if present at all, are borne on the X chromosome. If a man Is color-blind none of his chil- dren will be color-blind unless his wife Is either color blind or a car- rier. His sons will not even have a gene for the character. But all of his daughters will have a gene for color-blindness on one of their X chromosomes. This means that [ 50 percent of the sons of these daughters will be color-blind r and 50 percent of their daughters will be carriers. Therefore, color- blindness doesn't show in the fe- male unless there is a gene for ft on both X chromosomes. It al- ways shows in the male If the gene is present on his X chromo- some. Haemophilia works in the same way. "Certain diseases popularly said to be inheritable in man cannot be Inherited in the true *ense of the word, since they are produced by tiny parasitic organisms, \nd are not determined by genes. Some types of glandular activity and dis- positions and mental capacities are believed to be transmitted by heredity. Eugenics, as the new science of human inheritance is called, deals with the application to human mating of some of the methods of careful selection prac- ticed in the breeding of animals. If eugenic principles were more universally followed by all classes of society, it would tend to pre- serve the best human qualities and gradually stamp out the undesir- able ones." The members of the club were delighted when the hostesses open- ed the greenhouses for their in- spection. PLUMBERS MUST GET LICENSES Lawrence J. Holland, city build- ing and plumbing inspector, to- day issued a warning that no plumber who has not obtained a 1M4 license by March 1, will be allowed to operate in this city. City ordinances provide, he said, that plumbers must obtain licenses each year within 30 days from January 1. but he extended the time for 30 days because of the rush of work. There will be no further extension, he said. Only four licenses had been is- sued this morning. •i BIRTHDAY PARTY A birthday party was given yes- terday in honor of the 11th birth- day of Helen Geers at the home of her aunt, Mrs. William Robarge In South Corinth..

Next in chronological sequence belongs Hezekiah Butterworth's "In the Days of Jefferson," or "The Six Golden Horseshoes," while the war of 1812 stands forth through the adventures of a pri­vateer vessel in "The Cruise of the Comet," another work of James Otis. The Civil War setting is the hasis of Edward Eggleston's, "The Graysons; a story of Abraham Lincoln" and of "The Victory," by Molly Elliot Seawell.

Animal stories possess a perpet­ual appeal, and the gift includes John Muir's ever popular tale of a dog, "Strickeen and Beasts of the Field," a most attractive book and a delightfully intimate narration of animal ways, by William J. Long.

Those humorous masterpieces for the child, '"The Jungle Book" and "The Second Jungle Book" repre­sent Rudyard Kipling and the whimsical wit of A. A. Milne is manifest in "The House at Post Corner."

There are so many famous fig­ures of American history that it is almost impossible to maintain an adequate store of reference ma­terial. "Giants of the Republic" contains valuable information, con­cise and clearly presented. The feminine figures are represented In Pamaliel Bradford's "Portraits of American Women," while "Mem­ories of An American Lady," an autobiographical work of Mrs. Anne Grant, is a decided asset for knowledge of the 1300s.

Max W. Reid wrdte "The Story of Old Fort Johnson and The Kayaderosseras Creek," one of the books in the gift. This is inter­esting not only from its local back­ground, but also from its literary merit as a vivid account of adven­turous men and of perilous days. Martin Ives' book entitled T h r o u g h the Adirondacks m Eighteen Days," is unique, an ani­mated itinerary of a journey in the closing day3 of the nineteenth cen­tury. .

Of fiction some of the books In­cluded are: Amelia Barr's "A Song of a Single Note," "My Lady Ca­price," by Jeffery Farnol; "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" by John Fox, Sr.; "The Lady of the Decoration" by Fran­ces Luttle; "Emmy Lou" by George Madden Martin; "Cornalli" by Jo­hanna Spyri; "The Calico Cat" by Charles Miner Thompson and "Dear Enemy," by Jean Webster.

For the youngest readers, too, there is a prize in C. B. Fall's "A. B. C. Book;" Leroy F. Jack­son's "Billy Bumpkins;" and G. E. Studdy's "Uncle's Animal's Book" and the "Indian's Book," a compil­ation of songs, legends and tradi­tions of various tribes.

IN OFFICE ALL THE MONTH

At Meeting With the Misses Ralph.

An interesting talk on cell life of plants, vegetables, and animals was given last evening at the meeting of the Bird and Nature Study Club at the home of the Misses Mary Jane Ralph and Kath-erine Louise Ralph in Woodlawn avenue, the speaker being Miss Marian E. Knowles, assistant pro­fessor of Biology of Skidmore College.

"Genetics Is the study of inherit­ance," Said Miss Knowles in part," "It may be considered from both the theoretical and the practical point of view. (Although some people don't believe it, the theore­tical is often the practical as well.) I'm going to omit details about the mechanism of heredity except where it seems 'practical* to in­clude them.

"First, what kinds of things ere inherited? In plants, there are such things as flower-color, height, vig­or, fruit-flavor, fruit-size and shape. In animals, there are size, fur or hair-color, length of fur, eye-color, disposition, and glandular activity. These are called unit characters, each of which has at least two al­lelomorphs. These tiro rather un­familiar terms may be explained very simply in this way. In peas, for example, green is the allelo­morph of yellow in the unit char­acter of seed-color; smooth is the allelomorph of wrinkled in the unit character of seed-shape. In rabbits, short Is the allelomorph of angora in the unit character *if fur-length. In man, color-blindness is the allelomorph of normal in the unit character of color-vision.

"Now, how are these unit char­acters inherited? It has been proven very convincingly that they are inherited by means of determiners (called genes) present in the reproductive cells of the parents. Each egg and each sperm contains one gene for each unit character of the species. Therefore, the fertilized egg, and each cell of the Individual which develops from it, contains two full sets of these determiners, or, in other words, a pair of genes for each unit character of the species. If the parents were alike for any unit character, then their offspring would receive like genes; but if the male parent showed one allelo­morph and the female showed the other, then their offspring would be termed hybrids. Often one al­lelomorph Is dominant over* the other, so that the hybrid will res-semble the dominant parent, even while containing the gene for the recessive allelomorph in its cells. It can be shown that a hybrid may pass on either gene to its off­spring, but not both ;o the . same

> one. The offspring of hybrids may, therefore, show a recombina­tion of unit characters entirely dif* ferent from the original forms.

"Hybrid plants and animals are often more vigorous than either of the parents. For this reason, plant and animal breeders fre­quently find a good market for their hybrids. But the recombina­tions which occur in the offspring of hybrids make them uncertain to breed from. Plant breeders may overcome this difficulty by the use or slips, buds, bulbs and graft­ing, instead of using the seeds from hybrids. These methods, of course, would not work with animals, so it is usually better to cross the two parent forms each time hybrid animals are desired. Another reason, too, for these methods is that hybrids from par­ents of differing species may be sterile. The classic example of this is the mule, which is a cross between a male ass and a female horse. Mules cannot reproduce (except the females rarely.) Com­mon examples of hybrid plants which are usually produced com­mercially by cuttings, grafting, slips, bulbs, etc. are concord grapes, many of our most beauti­ful roses, peonies, iris, narcissus and tulips, some potatoes, tom­atoes, strawberries and cucumbers, and practically all fruit trees.

"Probably you are all interested in the inheritance of sex and sex-linked characters in man. To ex­plain this clearly, it is necessary

to be little more technical. In the cells of all organisms the genes are borne on pairs of allelomorphic chromosomes, the number of which is constant for each species. Human cells contain twenty-four pairs of these chromosomes. Of these, one pair seems definitely to have something to do with sex de­termination. In the female, the two sex chromosoms are both call­ed X chromosomes; while in the male, one is an X chromosome and the other is a Y chromosome. When the eggs and sperms are formed in their respective sex or­gans, one chromosome from each of the twentyrfour pairs passes in­to each egg or sperm, which then contains twenty-four single chro­mosomes. All eggs therefore, would contain one X chromosome; but some sperms would contain an X chromosome and some would contain a Y chromosome. If a sperm containing an X chromo­some unites with an egg, a female will develop. If a sperm c o n t a l n g a Y c h r o m o -some unites with an egg, a male will develop. Any unit characters whose genes are borne on the sex chromosomes are said to be sex-linked. Two of these are color­blindness and haemophilia. The genes of both, if present at all, are borne on the X chromosome. If a man Is color-blind none of his chil­dren will be color-blind unless his wife Is either color blind or a car­rier. His sons will not even have a gene for the character. But all of his daughters will have a gene for color-blindness on one of their X chromosomes. This means that [ 50 percent of the sons of these daughters will be color-blindr and 50 percent of their daughters will be carriers. Therefore, color­blindness doesn't show in the fe­male unless there is a gene for ft on both X chromosomes. It al­ways shows in the male If the gene is present on his X chromo­some. Haemophilia works in the same way.

"Certain diseases popularly said to be inheritable in man cannot be Inherited in the true *ense of the word, since they are produced by tiny parasitic organisms, \nd are not determined by genes. Some types of glandular activity and dis­positions and mental capacities are believed to be transmitted by heredity. Eugenics, as the new science of human inheritance is called, deals with the application to human mating of some of the methods of careful selection prac­ticed in the breeding of animals. If eugenic principles were more universally followed by all classes of society, it would tend to pre­serve the best human qualities and gradually stamp out the undesir­able ones."

The members of the club were delighted when the hostesses open­ed the greenhouses for their in­spection.

PLUMBERS MUST GET LICENSES

Lawrence J. Holland, city build­ing and plumbing inspector, to­day issued a warning that no plumber who has not obtained a 1M4 license by March 1, will be allowed to operate in this city.

City ordinances provide, he said, that plumbers must obtain licenses each year within 30 days from January 1. but he extended the time for 30 days because of the rush of work. There will be no further extension, he said.

Only four licenses had been is­sued this morning.
