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

The city council and Metropolitan

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

Will War Alter Theory of Evolution?
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

discussed. 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 TAKE PLACES
OF RAILROAD MEN
Large Numbers Are to Be Seen
in the Local Headquar
ters Doing Clerical
Work.
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. S. Waller, a neighbor, 1602 Mis
souri avenue, he immediately went to
the South Side police station, where
Waller had been incarcerated and
punched Waller in the nose. 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.
Police Judge Fitzgerald postponed
the hearing until Thursday.
