While it would be possible to "Burbank" a race of super-men, the process would defeat its own purpose, Dr. David Starr Jordan, noted scientist, declared today in a lecture on "the evolution of man." "It would be possible for Luther Burbank to develop a physically superior group of human beings just as he has created other superior things," Jordan said, "but in the end, however, such a scheme would defeat its own purpose, for the two greatest qualities of men and women, individual initiative and romantic love, would be stricken out in the process."

HELP FARMERS THRU EXTRA SESSION Brookhart Sees Republican Loss Without Speedy Relief WASHINGTON, July 19—The Republican party will lose control of congress in the next election unless a special session is called immediately to enact additional relief legislation for the farmer. CHALLENGES GOVERNORS CHARGE Agrees to Withhold Money Should Propaganda Be Proven (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, July 19.—Challenging Governor Richardson to make public the names of school districts where "little children" have been used to distribute the propaganda of "political educators," Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, today addressed a letter to the governor offering to withhold state money from the districts if the governor would furnish him with proof of the charges. The governor's charge was made in a statement accompanying the announcement of his appointment of C. A. Storke to the state board of education. "This is not the first time you have made this statement," Wood informed the governor, "so I assume it is a carefully reasoned statement. In view of the fact that the law of the state makes it my duty to withhold from school districts all state monies whenever such district has permitted the distribution of partisan propaganda in the schools thereof, I request you to furnish me with the names of all districts where little children have been used for political propaganda together with the names of the school officials who authorized or permitted distribution of such propaganda." ANAHEIM CHILD Brookhart Sees Republican Loss Without Speedy Relief WASHINGTON, July 19.—The Republican party will lose control of congress in the next election unless a special session is called immediately to enact additional relief legislation for the farmer. Senator Smith W. Brookhart Republican of Iowa, declared here this afternoon before going to the state department to discuss his recent European trip with Secretary Hughes. "The independents are prepared to act rather than to talk" Brockhart said. Unless relief is given the farmer the reactionaries will not be permitted to remain in control of senate committees. Congress must meet soon to provide relief. Next December will be too late. I should expect congress to set up government machinery and provide an application under which minimum prices for wheat, cotton and corn could be fixed and maintained. The miller, the spinner and others would have to buy at this price or higher. We must have our home markets for these staples and the tariff should be provided which would prevent imports of agricultural products. Out of this plan would come a co-operative marketing system which, in time, would provide profitable prices for the farmer. GERMANY FROWNS ON POSSIBLE CIVIL WAR By S. D. WEYR (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) BERLIN, July 19.—In the face of continual open predictions of civil war, the German government today issued a formal statement warning the public that any attempt to overthrow the government would be put down "ruthlessly and with force, no matter whether it came from the left or the right."
