(H zr ~ a LEADER OF MAN IN MECHANICS Long before the war, insects spouted poison (fas. Cuttlefish have buttons and hooks and a smoke screen for battle. Others of the animal world own anchors and picks and files and musical instruments. At the Congress of Eugenics at the Museum of Natural History, Dr. Lucien Cuenot of Nancy, Francs, informed delegates of these facts to prove his contention that nature is a far better craftsman than man. The French scientist's paper was one of several dealing with various aspects of eugenics from the biological standpoint. Dr. A. M. Banta of the Carnegie Institute discussed predetermination of sex and told of his experiments to predetermine the sex of low forms of life. He was successful in several instances, although he did not, from this draw any general conclusions which would apply to human beings. Old-Time Eugenists Barred. The congress, lest anyone doubt it, is a serious, schorlarly and highly technical affair and the ordinal nma is lost in what the scientists r" pleased to call "scientific shorthand." Nevertheless, old-time eugenists, symbolists, free-love exponents and and others who have "popularized" the subject attempted to pass the barricade of llie serious scientists, but without success. Only biologists of standing students of repute are permitted voice in the congress to rid eugenics, as one authority termed it. "of the black eye we received from the wild ones years ago." Dr. Cuenot's essay was the most interesting from the lay viewpoint. Dr. Cuenot believes that theologians and mechanists may meet on Mr. Darwin's theory and agree. In other words, granting the changes that come of environment in the organisms of living beings, there is still a "creative spirit superior and preexisting to nature which leads the latter by the laws he has ordained without direct interference." Among his listeners wore Major Leonard Darwin, a scientist and the son of Charles Darwin. Mechanics of Nature. Discussing nature's head start on man in the matter of mechanics, Dr. Cuenot said: "What is striking is the resemblance of the natural arrangements which 1 call working man devices. That is to say that nature's ways of solving the problems which arise from necessities are solutions similar to that a human worker would devise with the aid of his own intelligence when he faces almost similar problems. Nature's solution differs fror that of the craftsman only by it> greater perfection, its greater adap tation and its security and elegroovc <>f truidance, the dovetailing, detail.

Great interest was shown in the soil building and hay crop meetings. I booked more than a ton of clover and vetch seed during the meeting and more have been booked since as a result of the meetings.

Boylston, Barnwell.?The most important work done during the week was the listing of rye and vetch and oats to be planted this year. About fifty acres of vetch was listed during the week. We expect to have about a ton or more of seed planted in the county this year for a start. J. W. Shealy, Lexington.?I have spent a good portion of my time this week in interest of alfalfa.

One of their chief worries at present is the marketing1 of these new crops, and it is encouraging to me to find that several of the business men in the county are considering rearranging their business so as to supply the farmers with the seed needed *or the crops and to handle what grain and live stock is produced. S. M. Byars, Anderson.?T am having many calls for assistance in planning for alfalfa. It seems as if there will be an increased acreage of alfalfa planted in the county this fall.

WOMEN DISCUSS ARBUCKLE CASE Their Verdict is that the Girl Should Not Have Been There (By Winona Wilcox.) The girl in the Arbuckle case? "She shouldn't have been there!" Listen to women discussing the most startling scandal of the decade; that is their unanimous verdict. "She shouldn't have gone to a wine party in a man's rooms!" they agree "She knew better!" Thus old and young, innocent and sophisticated !io! l the girl, and each other, and all of their sex responsible for sustaining the tradition of what is good behavior for a woman. it se?m5 an unsympathetic opinion when one remembers the ultra modern theories about everybody's r;ght to all the joy they can pick up a hard verdict when applied to a gir who has died for her mistake.
