)UR THOUSANDS OF ANCESTORS
Did you ever stop to think that
lowever proud you may be there are
jaupers in your lineage, or however
iuinble your station you are descended
from kings and princes?
Or did you ever reflect that many,
nany times, cousins, either close or
listant, have married before you
xuld be born into the world?
Perhaps not for few, people ever
ake the time to th( k of the wonders
)f human ancest/ or of it's paraloxes.
/
Over yonder 14 -fine house on an
iristocratic street, lives a very fine
ady. Across the other way, down
jy the smelly gas plant, in a poor
ittle hovel, lives a ragged, unkempt
>eggar. It would shock her to know
ihe was rather closely related to
lim, and astonish him to know that
hey had many ancestors in common
ar this side of Adam.
And yet it is easy to demonstrate
hat it could not be otherwise. Geonetrical
progression is a funny thing,
ifou remember how it worked with
:he man who offered to pay a cenl
or the first nail, two cents for the
lecond, four for the third, and so on
intil his horse was shod. And then
rom remember bow the boy offered
;o work for a year for one grain al
rheat the first day, two the second,
four the third, and so on. and how it
vould have taken scores of ships tc
>arry the wheat wage the farmer had
:ontracted to pay him.
That same law applies in counting
>ur ancestors. We have two parents,
'our grandparents, eight great grand
parents, sixteen great great grand
parents, and so on.
The average generation is thirtj
rears long?that is, the average par
jnt is thirty years old when th<
iverage child is born. On that bash
there have been ten generations fron
Jamestown and.Plymouth down t<
Jur time. In the tenth generatior
each of us has 1,024 ancestors. Ir
thirty generations, which is the ap
proximate number that have comi
md gone since William the Conqueroi
defeated Harold the Saxon at th<
Battle of Hastings, you would hav<
more than two billion ancestors i
cousins close or distant never mar
ried. You would be descended fron
more than a billion different famiHe
?Smith, Brown, Jones, etc.
Of course you readily see ^at '
would be impossible to have descend
ed from so many families, for ther
were not that many people in th
world in that day, let alone tha
many families. So, many are th
times that cousins have married i
the line of ancestors through whot
the breath that God breathed int
the nostrils of Adam has come dow
to you.
Indeed, you can figure out that n
matter whom you meet of your ow
race, orVhere, he is practically cei
tain to be a cousin or yours, aescenae
from some common great g-ranc
father and grandmother who live
this side the Battle of Hastings.
The moral of all this is that n

[ NERVE DISORDERS
INCREASED FROM NOISE
New York, Sept. 27.?"The city of
noiseless night.''
l Sitting at his desk piled with let;
ters complaining about bells, horns,
> whistles, flatwheels and other slmii
lar things and with the window at
i his elbow overlooking a plot where
[ structural iron work is in progress,
! Dr. Royal S. Copelend, today said that
, within six weeks this description will
t be made to fit New York now, he'
i declares, the noisiest town in the
1 United States, which is the noisiest
country in the world.
; And what can be dene here, far,
jther says Dr. Copeland, who is eom
missioner of health and advocate of
- the most progressive measures for Insuring
public welfare, also can and
r probably will be dontf in every city
- throughout the entire iand. He ex;
plained.
} "All sorts of noise is increasing
i and fully 60 per cent of it is un)
necessary.
> Uses Up Energy.
l "Now while it sometimes is said
- that one will become accustomed to
e'certain sounds and 'not mind' them,
r | that statement is true only insofar as
a nnnooinim !ii>lrnnwlf>ricmi>nl of those
? sounds is concerned. Subconsciously
f the nervous system takes cognizance
- of noise whether it is registered coni
sciously or not, and expends a certain
s definite amount of energy in reacting
to it.
t "About 10 per cent of bodily en
ergy is spent in hearing, just as ape
proximately that much is required in
e seeing.
t "But the added strain upon the ene
eigy required by auditory nerves
n for shrieking sirens, jangling and
n clanging bells, back-firing, and such
o noises, is equal to the shock imposed
n! upon the nervous system through the
| eyes when witnessing an explosion or
0 holocaust of some kind.
n "Therefore it was quite easy to
r- understand why, with all noise Ind
creasing, there also is increasing
