The initial effort will consist of putting on during the winter season three concerts by this unusual orchestra, in which well known guest artists will take a prominent part. The entire revenue from these concerts will be handed over to the orchestra, for present maintenance, and the building up of an adequate instrument fund, THE local Junior Symphony orchestra, is the only organiza tion of the kind in the state. It is. composed of young, very young musicians not only from Hub city, but from Grants Pass, Ashland, Jacksonville, and as far distant as Galice. Mr. John R. Knight .who originated the idea, and perfected the organization is the director, and is giving his services, and has from the start, without cost. But for his enthusiasm, ability, and tireless devotion, the orchestra would have been forced to disband, long ago. TI0ST of the boys and girls own their own instruments, but 11 unmp rln not. and lisvc had to nlav on instruments bor rowed from High School musical organizations. The orchestra is badly in need of instruments such as harp, oboe, bassoons and tympani. If these concerts are given proper support, the orchestra will start out another year, greatly encouraged and adequately equipped. Not only will these concerts be enjoyable and interesting in themselves but public support will place musical development of young people along worth while lines, throughout southern Oregon, on a permanent and progressive basis. N this era of jazz and whoopee, when the chief aim of youth appears to be to have what is improperly termed a "GOOD time", a serious effort like this, seems 10 us, to De 01 genuine moral and community significance. So we are glad to put in a good word for Zonta Interna tional, and its muiden effort, in what promises to be, for that organization, a long record of useful public service. Every purchaser of a ticket to this series of concerts, can have the satisfaction of helping a most fleserving and unique organization, giving a rebuke to "gilded youth", and stimulat ing the EARLY development of worth-while musical talent, in this section of the slate. A Legal Disgrace THE denth of Charles Fiekert, dmt.net attorney of ban J?ran p.Hpn lit tha , irn of the Mooncv-Rillincs trial, brings to the fore once more the most notorious example of legal injustice in the history of the Pacific coast. We say "legal injustice" advisedly. For there is no question whatever regnrding that. There is question, and until new evidence is unearthed, there probably always will be, as to whether Mooncy and Billings were guilty of that Preparedness day outrage, or not. Frobably only Mooney and Billings know about this, and in either case, they would be doing just what they have done from the outset, stoutly and repeatedly maintaining their innocence. THET would do that, of course, if innocent. And as the ease long since censed to be a trial of two accused individ uals, and beenme a "cause eclcbre" a class issue of national significance, men of the typo that would commit such a crime would be the type to stand pat and never let down their adherents. So the real truth nbout the Preparedness Day bomb explo sion, has never been told, and probably never will be. In all mined letters pertalnlnr to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answerrd by Dr. Brady If a stomped self addressed envelope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letters received only a few can be answered. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions, aaoress Dr. WUllam Brady, 23 El Camlno, Beverly Calif. INHERITANCE OF ACQUIRED CHARACTERS MM EH Pertaining to tha question of the relative influence of heredity and environment upon the individual's character, an experiment described by Castle Is interest ing, (dene tics and Eugenics, by Prof. W. E. Cas tle, Harvard, Harvard Unlver alty Press). Prof. Castle and Dr. John C. Phillips removed the ovaries from an albino guinea pig Just attain ing m a t u r tty, and grafted Into tho guinea - pig's body other ovaries obtained from a young black guinea-pig aged three weeks, not yet sexually mature, The grafted animal was then mat ed with a male albino. Now It Is the Invariable rule that albino guinea pigs produce only albino young. But this albino produced by the albino male three Utters of young, six in dlvldusls In all, and all of her voung were black. In the second article of this aeries on heredity we said: "The proto plasm of the germ-cells the repro ductive or parent cells, the ovum or egg and the spermatazoon or male fertilising elements Is Immortal, as proved by the survival of the race." The ovum or egg-cell contributed by the mother who gave birth to three Utters of black guinea-pigs was not her own, but that of the ovary that had been grafted Into her body from the young black gulnca-plg. So we must conclude that the blacknosa of thoso six little guinea-pigs born to the albino parents was Inherited from tho black mother-by-proxy, the pig whose ovaries were grafted Into the albino that bore the black offspring. Oflsprlng? Well, they were not really her offspring at all, Just because she bore them. Biologically speaking. those six little black pigs wero no more the children, offspring, heirs descendants of the albino that gave birth to them than a white In fant Is of the Negress who serves as wot nurso and mammy for the child. Indeed, Prof, castle has Introduced a vexatious problem Into tho whole science of gotiPtics. Transplantation of an ovary or a portion of an ovary from one woman to another Is not only possible but has been done many times. Who shall say how long sucn transplanted ovarian tissue survives or whether It may continue to func tion tor a considerable period after transplantation? Assuming a portion of ovary continues to function after transplantation, who shall Judge the maternity of a child subsequently born to the host of the engrafted ovary. The gerro-cella (ovum or egg-cell and spermatazoon or fertilizing ele ment), from whose union or fusion the embryo grows, are only guests In the body, so to speak, and not mem bers of the household. They fulfill only one function they carry on the race. Since they are not produced by the body cells but only by the fertilized egU-cell, they cannot trans mit body - modifications, acquired characters. That's our story concern ing the six Uttle black guinea-pigs, and untu aome geneticist or eugenlat devises a more plausible one we're going to stick to It. Later wo shall revert to the Six Black Pigs and their Pure White Parents, but meanwhile don't deduce that acquired charac tera are not Inherited. We believe they are Inherited more or less more from the grandparenta and great- grandparents than from the 'parents, Then, of course, the legend of the throwback black Infant born to ap parently white parents bears closer scrutiny. -SISKIYOU KAHMKR HAS DEKH HORN'S."

UT there is no doubt of the fact that Mooney and Billings wero not given a fair trial, and were denied the rights, to which, ns citizens of this country they were entitled. That they were convicted on per.iured testimony can t be denied. That at the time of the trial public feeling m cnn Francisco was running so high, that a fair trial could not be given, and wasn't given, can't be disputed. The presiding judge, and many members of the jury that convicted, admitted as much time after time, and joined in numerous petitions to give (ho two men a new hearing. District Attorney Fiekert, practically alone, opposed such action. a a a BUT Fiekert had plenty of support from intluential poli ti.inns nnwerfnl vesleit interests, and other defenders of the status quo, who felt that a reversal of the verdict would he bad for the slate, for their brand of politics and for iuisinoss. In fact practically the only defense for those who have opposed a new trim, m recent years, nas open tne nnmcing contention that, even if Mooney and Billings were innocent of the crime, they were bud cgtfs, confirmed agitators, anyway, and the best place for them, would be where they are, in San Qui'iitin for life I This isn't the law.
