STRANGE
STORIES OF
HEREDITY
Stigma Traced Back 900 Years
'il
ROMAN GENERAL'S EXTRA FINGER
Questions of race
and heredity have buked large in this year's Uscussions of the British ciation at Blackpool
F
Asso- Professor,
Ruggles Gates, of King's College, London, told of some of the strange. cases collected by the new Bureau of Human Heredity, 1or the institution of which he has been responsible,
Many of the stories which have come to him have all the full- blooded Ba your of fictional ro- mance, and yet by the study of such strange pedigrees Professor Ruggies Gate believes that much information of scientific value may be obtained.
If there is one point rather than another which emerges from this year's meeting. it is that know- ledge of human heredity and racial characteristics is still sadly defec-
tive.
From Australia has come the story of a woman with a double- width thumb This is a recogniseri
form of physical abnormality.
What is unusual is that Professor Ruggles Gates' correspondent—the last of her line to bear the stigma
descent. can trace her
without break through an Italian family
tribe back to an Arab
in the leventh Century, and that in every generation through all these 100 years the samé abnormality has made its appearance.
SCIPIO AFRICANUS
"I have just received a photo- graph showing the genuineness of "the deformity," Professor Ruggles
Gates remarked. “and documentary' references from which the family Eistory can be verified.
"This, bowever, is not the longest pedigree of the kind known to me, It is on record that the Roman general Belplo Africanus, just over 2000 years ago, had an extra fin- ger.
There is a modern Rumanian family of the name of Scipio, which claims descent from Scipio, an also bears this deform'ty. · Äs ¦ | is generally known, Rumania is c'osely connected with Italy both historically and in language.”
Another case which Professor Ruggles Gates suggests illustrates the social importance of such in- quiries has lately come to him from America. It is that of an Ameri- can woman who had for a time

BOY FOUND DEAD.
Parents Allege He Was Assaulted
The body of a boy, Chau Kwok Nin, aged seven years, which was found on the footpath outs.de No. 51 Connaught Road West, where the lad slept with his parents, was removed to the public mortuary by the Police on Saturday,
According to a Poice report, the deceased's parents alleged that Chau Kwok Nin was assaulted by Wong Luk Chung : 25. The lad became sick immediately after the alleged assault and had been up to 3 p.m. on Saturday when he "Wong has been detained by the police
died.
There were no marks of violence on the deceased's body.
It is stated that a post mortem examination revealed that death was due to natural causes,/»
SHOTS FIRED
To Frighten Intruder
Excitement was caused in Wan- chat on Saturday morning when four shots were fired into the air by Chau Chul-kwong, of 2 Fleming Road, to frighten a thief.
A Police report of the incident states that Chau, a shop foki, was awakened at 5 am by his son, who had seen the alleged thief in the Hat.

Flying-Boats To Australia
31..
REPLY TO LABOUR CRITICISM
Mr. Curtin, the Federal Labour leader, moved the adjournment of the
House of
Representatives, Canberra, recently in a speech criticizing the acceptance by the Australian Cabinet of the Imperial dying-boat service.
He said that Australian inter- ests were being sacrificed. If the Cabinet's decision meant the sub stitution of the Singapore-Bris bane service by London-Bydney flying-boats, Australia would lose control of vital internal air mails, exclude herself from international control and permit an external company to run the most impor tant Australian service.

Such latent quxiitics, she be- lleves, members of the public should be taught to recognise, and after her own bitter experience, to refuse to pass on.
HAEMOPHILA
As an example of
popular
myth, Professor Ruggles Gates quoted the case of haemophilia, the hereditary disease which lies in a lack of clothing power in the blood,
stated, "that" this disease
"It is generally believed," he only shown La males, and only transmit- ted through females. The fact is that it could be inherited by a wo- man if she received the herediary factor concerned from both sides.
