\ Thlb call for bettor methods has
k been fully answered. Electricity has

servant. The first useful ap
plication of efbctrlclty waa for lightI
ing purposes. The Incaudeaoent

lightning of residences, so that

But If electricity can run a street

machine. If it can operate large

operate a smaller, lighter one

? IT TREK THAT DRINKERS
HAITI INFERIOR CHILDREN?
In an article in the American
iagasine entitled "IsItTrwe?" ap ears
the startling and convincing
saulta of Karl Pearson's lnvestlgaion
of (he families of drunkards and
eetotalers made la the Galton Lab-'
ratory for Eugenics, at* the UnlVfcrfty
of London.
The author says that tie was always
taught that drunken parents,
to apt to produee Imperfect chilIren.
It was a surprise to him and
robably It will be to most readers
o find the following results:
"First, putting ell ages togelhei,
hey found that the average height
if the^hildren whose parents drank
im 47.9 inches, and ot non-drinking
rnu 47 J> lnehee. The average
retght of the former was 56.0 lbs.
nd the latUr 58.1 lbs.
"But the children whose parents
[rank averaged 9.8 rears old, while
he children of sober parents awsr?
god 9.4 years. Making allowance
of this correction by strict mathematical
means, the conclusion was
hat the drinking of parents had no
appreciable effect upon the height or
relght of their, children. The old
naxlm of intimate housebo'd hygiene,
Drinking stunts one's ehlldren,
ras shown to be devoid of foundation
a far as the material of this Inveeigation
was concerned.
"Second, as to the child's general |
keatth. Here the children were dl-j
dded Into four categories: the
Leal thy, the delloate, the eplleptio
iod phthisical, and those who died
roung.
"Surveying this table, it la really
lard to say whether the connection
lea between parental drinking and
10?^ hpfcltji or bad health on the
tart ok the children. Clearly, there

"Third, concerning Intelligence.
>f all things that ws h^vs been aoustomed
to assume as likely, one
>f the foremost Is that parental
Irinklng weakens children's wits.
"Bnt It was distinctly untrue of
heee English schoolchildren; so
rery untrue. In fact, that there 1a a
itlght balance the other way. The
-etnrna show that there were born
