V a&i'MM WnW; WW! I THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUNE 8. 1917. Society Serves but Three Courses. Omaha people, of course, have al ways been exceedingly temperate, You underitand the meaning, do you not? They have used great restraint in matters of food consumption. They have not been given to revels like that of the prodigal cientai, uci shazzar. Their formal dinners have not assumed such gigantic propor tions that the dumb tables groanea from the weight thereof. Now, to be sure, no one has said that just such lavish entertainments as those have been given in New York, Chicago, Denver and else where, but evidently the people m those cities have felt the need for retrenchment in these serious war times. New York's "first fifty" have decided to cut down all meals, whether thev be breakfasts, lunch eons or the largest dinners, to three simple courses. Denvcr'j "first ten' have emulated the New Yorkers by adopting this economic standard. ( hirairn. too. has taken un the slogan, "Three Courses or None," thus spreading the leaven of New York's good example. You know that the women who have instituted this re form form the very upper crust of the social pie. so that there is every incentive to make tne scneme pop' As usual, mere man does not take kindly to the plan. The story is told of a young artist bf some repute who visited a promi nent Chicago woman in her home not long ago. He had been travel ing for some time awy from his na tive heath, New York. When the third course of the dinner was served hie hostess exolained that she was following a plan of war economy by serving only tnree-course Dinners. "Oh," said the artist, "how extremely interesting. They don't do that back in New York." and immediately made a mental note to re, :rn to the flesh- pots of Egypt as soon as possible. When the Omaha suffragists gave their thrift supper at the Young Wo men's Christian association, an ac quaintance of ourj attended in company with another man and wo man. The three enjoyed the meal immensely, but they had no sooner finished than the mere man proposed to go elsewhere for a second meal with I choice cut of steak as the piece de resistance!.

City to Share Cost of New Water Main to Riverview The city council and Metropolitan Water board settled the Riverview swimming pool situstion by agreeing that the city shall pay $5,000 of an ex pense of $15,000 for installation of a ten-inch water main to furnish ade quate service to the southeastern part of the city. Citizens protested that when the pool was being flooded the six-inch service main was relieved to such an extent that the domestic supply was seriously reduced. "When they want to swim we can't drink," was the brief way R. F. Wil liams described the situation. " R. B. Howell, manager of the water plant, suggested the use of chlorine gas cleansing process at the swim ming pool. The new main will be installed dur ing the next few months.

By GARRETT P. SERVISS. The world war is applying a sharp test to the very basis of the theory of evolution. Another generation, at least, must arise before the result of the test can be determined, but there is a strong hope that that result will prove that there is no inheritance of acquired characters, which means that no peculiarity which you may have caught and developed in the course of your life will be handed on to your children, but that it will die with you, and your children will in herit only those qualities possessed by you at the time of your own birth. If this is so, succeeding genera tions among the warring nations will not be weakened by the inheritance of physical disabilities incurred by their fathers through the wounds, mutilations and sufferings imposed by war. The question has already been openly discussed in France. Or. Eu gene Apert, in "Le Monde Medical," puts it in the very practical form: Can men gravely injured in battle and campaign subsequently produce healthy offspring? He answers: Yes, they can; the answer being based upon the doctrine of Weissman that whatever qualities an individual may possess must have been inherent in the germ cells of its parents, the germ cells being impenetrable to any quality acquired by that parent dur ing hia life. According to this theory any char acters that the offspring possesses which vary from those remarked in one of the parents must have resided in the germ cells of the other parent. Some of the characters may have been latent in parent cell, only com ing to the front in the offspring. Dr. Apert is specific in his state ment concerning the kind of wounds and disabilities which may be re garded as innocuous for a future gen eration and those which, on the con trary, should be looked upon with suspicion, although in the end it may be proved that even they are without deleterious influence, provided that the general health and stamina of the parent are not seriously and per manently reduced. Amputations and mutilations, for instance, are without effect, and so with injuries to the various organs. They do not add to or subtract from the 'inheritable characters contained in the germ. But injuries to the brain resulting in epileptic and similar trou bles may be open to some question, although even in such cases the Weissmanian doctrine indicates that the germ in itself cannot be affected. The final conclusion of Dr. Apert is very reassuring, since he holds that, notwithstanding the unavoidable di minution in the number of patents through death and incurable disease, the ultimate results of the war will not be a general deterioration in the quality of the race. These practical considerations, forced upon public attention by the war, are calculated to stimulate inter est in the subject of evolution. There have long existed two schools of evo lutionary doctrine, the opposition of whose ideas is brought prominently out by such questions as those above FRECKLES Now ia the Tims to Get Rid of Thoas Ugly Spats.

Darwin's original idea was mat tne variations wnicii uavc pru duced the gradual advance in the or ganisms of plant and animal life were the result of natural selection, the individuals of any species which hap pened to be best adjusted to the cir cumstances in which they were placed being, naturally, those which con tinued to propagate their kind, while the others perished and ultimately dis appeared. Later, in seeking for the underlying cause of the variations and transfor mations, he proposed the theory of pangenesis, according ,to which when an individual during its life, tmd in consequence of the influence of- its environment, had developed a' new character this could be transmitted to its offspring. If this pangenesis theory were correct it would, in principle at least, be, opposed to the teaching on which Dr. Apert bases his more com forting conclusions concerning the ultimate influence of war upon the succeeding generations. Against this later theory of Darwin arose the Neo-Darwinians, tike Weiss- man, who go back, virtually, to Dar win's original ground and hold that natural selection is, after all, the true cause of evolutionary variations and transformations, Darwin himself not having hit upon the basal explanation, which is to be found in the germ cells. The nucleus of every living cell con tains minute particles, which Weiss man calls determinants. When a cell divides and thus produces a new cell it hands over one-half of each of its detriments, so that the new cell in herits exactly the characters of the old. , But when two cells, one from each parent, unite, each of them gives to the combination one-half the number of its determinants, the remaining half being lost. Thus some, but not all, of the characters of each parent reappear in the offspring, and at every subsequent birth of a new offspring, through the pairing of cells, each of which contributes only half of its determinants, fresh combinations are made, and this process accounts at the same time for the resemblance of offspring to parents and for their variations. The opponents of Neo-Darwinism, without accepting the pangenesis idea, still maintain that, in some yet undis covered way, the environment does manage to affect the germ cells, and thus produce variation in the direction of acquired characters, but at present the other school seems to have the upper hand.

Women are beginning to appear in large numbers in the clerical posi tions in the headquarters of all of the Omaha roads. They are taking the places of the men who have enlisted and gone to the front to do duty, either in the training schools, or guarding property in cities and in the country. ' Wherever men have been replaced by women in railroad work, it is said that as a rule they are rapidly acquir ing the necessary knowledge and are giving satisfactory service. So far none of the women who have taken the places formerly held by the men are required to perform manual labor. The positions they are filling are clerical and mostly in ac counting departments. They under stand that their employment is onlv temporary and that when the boys re turn trom the war, they are to be dis placed by the old employes. On account of employing about 1,000 persons in its headquarters and offices, naturally the Union Pacific is giving employment to more women than any of the other lines. However, the proportion is no greater, for each railroad is said to have furnished more than its quota of men, according to the rules that will apply in selec tive conscription, which in understood to be about one out of every ten, Wife Bested in Fight, So Hubby Takes Up Battle When James Parks, 1624 Missouri avenue, came home from work Wednesday night and heard that his wife had been bested in a fight with H.

He also was arrested. , Waller and Mrs. Parks got into an argument, it is said, over something one of Mrs. Parks' children had done. Mrs. Parks resented the charge, neighbors said, and attempted to hit Waller with a stick. In trying to get possession of the, stick, neighbors said, Waller caught Mrs. Parks by the throat. - Neighbors summoned police, who arrested Waller and charged him with assault and battery.
