DENIES WEALTH , ENDS LONG LINE IN FAMILY TREE Survey Shows Many Girls Cause Royal Name to Die Out. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Royalty and old families do not die out because of their age, neither do they become degenerate and sterile because of their wealth and power, declares Dr. F. A. Woods of the National Research Council, in a report to the American Genetic Association. Facts taken from the history of the British peerage furnish proof of this, he says, in contradiction to popular notions about inherited wealth and position. Since families and family names continue only in the male line, many old families i have become extinct only because all the children of one generation were girls. It is not fair to say that old families are dying out because certain names are no longer found in the peerage. On the other side of the picture it was found that over half of the British peers of 1921 trace a continuously aristocratic descent in the direct male line to as early as the year 1450. Every instinct and desire of powerful and wealthy families would tend, biologically, toward their growth in strength and numbers, Dr. Woods points out, mentioning the desire for children, particularly sons, and the selective mating of aristocratic families, a mating designed to strengthen the family. While nine out of a certain ten old families may have died out, due to a preponderance of girl children, the remaining one will have

branched out and ramified until fully ten important families of today can trace their descent from it in the male line. An example of this is the great number of aristocratic families, including twelve peers, descended from the old Stewart family of Scotland, the originator of the family line being the first Steward of the King of Scotland. Thus in actual numbers, a balance is kept, and aristocracy as a whole, as well as royalty, does not die out because of any degeneracy or weakness due to its rank or wealth. Os the royal families of today, both reigning and non-reigning, nearly every one, through the male line, ‘‘shows a continuous position of nobility or royalty traceable as early as the eleventh century.” Three or four thousand members of various royalties are living in Europe today, and they are all having large families.
