I if population has anything to do with ■ war, the price of automobiles or the I wages of labor, he believes he will be I able to predict the condition of these present day problems IdO years hence. In short, according to Dr. Little, the despised mouse killed in a trap and thtown away as good riddance may provide a key to the secrets of the forces controlling the ebb and flow of population so that the nation will be able to bend its peoples under control. In a little laboratory at the University of Michigan here Dr. Little has been carrying on his experiments with mice for the past year. The laboratory presents a flourishing mouse farm. In 18 months Its population has grown from 400 to 10,000. Recently there have been so many mice produced that the feeding and housing problems have become acute. "From experiments with the mice 1 have reached the conclusion that when widely distinct species are interbred the resulting generations of hybrids have a greater number of males than females." Dr. Little told the United Press)— "This phenomenon continues through successive generations of the, species." He then explained that it is an as-ce-tained fact that the cross breeding of widely distinct races of humans shows that same majority of males in offsprings. "The conclusion to be drawn term these facts is irrestible,” he declared. "Whatever force it is thht operates to I produce more males from the interbrodlng of mice also works the same result in man.” it was this signifinant restt't tnat gave Dr. Little the broader idea he is ready to prove. So tar he has used only two species of mice in his expel intents—the comfon house mouse or mus muscnlus and the rare Chinese mouse or mus wagneri. The two are widely different. IJii purpose now is to find two other varieties, pure and uncrossed in their breed, that are distinct, yet net so widely different, These latter breeds, the object of Dr. Little’s trip abroad, will be interbred and the off springs closely observed. A comparison will be drawn between them and the hybrid offspring of the crossed house mouse and the Chinese mouse. "The results will show whether the sspeeies from less widely dissimilar species exhibit the same tendencies toward male offsprings as I found in the case of offsprings from widely different species," Dr. Litlet said. The real test of the theory will come after the experiment with the foreign mice. Dr. Little proposes to apply the results to human society. ‘lt hag been shown that the laws of the life of mice also apply to human genetics." he saio. "During the past 175 years America has been populated by widely dissimHar races of immigrants men and women who have intermarried so as to Produce several groups less widely dissimilar but stjll d istinct from onc another. Ihe big question to be answered is i ''hat is going to hapen when, during 1 e next generation, these less widely * disimilar classes intermarry? , What works out with the mice can ' ea to work out with the popu ■ation of America.” In other words, the characteristics of Sex pro-creativeness and rate of fu- v 'U'e i eproduction may be forecast in a r - Little’s small laboratory here by 3 e cross breeding of two species of 1 mice. s The second stage of the experi- h cuts will be attempted in Europe and y ® Faroe Islands this summer. , n here the university president and *

WASHINGTON, D. C.— When an I ex-president of the United States and ' two former nominees of the Republi- 1 can and Democratic parties become | the star performers in a legal drama, even blase Washington sits up and i takes notice, especially when the drama is staged in the U. S. Supreme Court, and the ex-president happens to be Chief Justice William Howard Taft, and the ex-presidential nominees, Charles Evans Hughes and John W. Davis. The U. S. Supreme Court, with Chief Justice Taft presiding, forms the background for one of the most titanic legal battles of the century. Involving billions of dollars and practically every industry in America employing trade-marks. Mr. Hughes, himself an ex-justice of the Supreme Court and former Republican presidential candidate, draws swords with John W. Davis, Democratic standard bearer in 1924, and former Ambassador to Great Britain. The case is one- dealing with the proprietary interest in a trade-mark —that of Beech-Nut Company, of Canojoharie o'). Y„ identified with bacon, hams, candy, chewing gum. and what-not. against the P. Lorillard Company, of New Jersey, tobacco and cigarette manufacturers.

icientist will seek the rare mouse konwn scientitically as the nuts muralis, which lives only upon almost inaccessible island cf St. Kilda. near the Herbrides. With his three children, Edward, Louis and Robert. Dr. Little will sail for Scotland where the national museum at Edinborough has promised itr. aitl in securing the priceless rodent After visiting Edinborough, he plans to go by boat to the Danish Farce Islands, between Scotland and Iceland, where he will seek another rare species known as mils feroensis. These two sets of mice, according Dr. Little, represent the required dis tinct, but not widely separated, species needed for the new experiments. The mice will be brought back to Ann Arbor and their interbreeding watched with minute care in the !•>- boralory. “Success in these delicate experiments depends upon a number of factors, one of which is the health of the mice,’’ Dr. Little explained. “They must be pealously guarded. One set of the mice from St. Kilda perished before it could e gotten from the island to Scotland last year. The set was intended for Dr. Little's labor- I atory. If the second stage of the experiments is successful the hatedvermln may prove itself to be a jjjirror in which science may see the reflection of a hundred years from now. o NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Notice is hereby given that MONDAY.

Davis, tor the ; Lorillard Company, compact, well groomed, pugnacious of visage, history makers both, —known throughout the land. The grave Court listened. The eloquent counsel pleaded. The right of ownership of the Beech-Nut trademark. the Illegality of seizing an established name and design, unfair methods of business, was the plea of Hughes. Prior use of the word ‘beechnbt” though in connection with a picture of a squirrel by a company 1 long dissolved, was tbe defense set up by the equally eloquent Davis. v> Trade-marks have become household words, popularized by the expenditure of millions of dollars, and representing definite products. The ruling of Chief Justice Taft and his distinguished associates may either imperil the validity or exclusive proprietorship of every trade-mark In the United States, or definitely and finally protect the great industries In their exclusive rights in the use of their established trade-marks. BeechNut vs. Beechnut may become history "n the annals of legal lore. 1

It offers laughs from the moment that Arthur Kohl, Philip Brandon and Truman Quevli, playing the roles of the "three live ghosts” step onto the stage until the final curtain.

PRESIDENT'S SON / , I Being Son Os President Not Without Its Worries By Paul R, Mellon (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Washington, (United Press I - Being the son of a President of the United , States in not always what it is t racked . up to be. The freedom of his life is held i.p to the average citizen ns an enjoyable i game but young John Coolidge, t ie son of the President has more to wor ry about than the pursuit of happiness. A secret service man follows his every step, college professors are unI dec orders to make him feel he is an average citizen; his schoolmates fear he may become possessed of a idea that he is son of President Coolidge and girls can’t keep their hearts from fluttering at the thought of a possible' marriage to the son of a President. These forces over which he has no control have not made life any more enjoyable for young Coolidge. Recently, he spent his Easter vacation in Washington, but instead of riding around in the Ptosidential car or | giving parties for his friends, he went to the naval hospital to get his teeth ft CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruddy cheeks—sparkling cyes-most women can have. Dr. F. M. Edwards for 20 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave his patients a substitute for calomel made of a few wellknown vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil. namingthem Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Know them by their oh ve color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one's system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets nightly I for a time and note the pleasing results.
