Chicago's Unique Legal Rattle Chicago continues lo be Ihe setting for unique legal buttles.

Last summer there were the widely discussed suits and connUr-suits over two babies whose parents, believed hospital authorities had erred, giving Baby A lo Family ami vice versa. Now a new controversy wages, buttressed by-lengthy srmilitie testimony, to prove that four-year-old Jlaxine Hall, who has blue eye-, is or is not the (laughter of Edward Entringer, South Dakota farmer. Entringer's eyes ars brown. Maxine's blue-eyed mother maintains the child was born before marriage to Entringer from whom she is now separated. Mrs.

Entringer has testified that her first husband had blue eyes. The court is faced with deciding whether paternity may be proven by the color of the eyes. Another case pending decision in Chicago is that of George Adair Longley, claiming the estate of George Longley, wealthy manufacturer. The fact that Ihc young man's eyes are brown and the manufacturer's were blue was stressed in court proceedings. The rest of the country watches de- vclopnnnts in these legal-scientific controversies with mingled curiosity and amusement.

Being Einstein lis should be able lo make this discovorv. 'clflc cases, there has been such tre- mentions mixture of human beings I In breeding that It practically impossible to find human bjings with eyes of absolutely pure color. In other words, eyes may be blu? to ordinary appearances, but. pure blue eyes arc so rare as to be almost absent.

Hence, it, Is not possible to say because the eyes of both parents arc blue that the child will Imve blue eyes, the reason b2- ing that the parents have probably not pure blue eyes, and, according to the Mendelian law, It would require pure blue eyes to produce in every Instance a blue-eyed child. If somewhere in the ancestry, a pure blue-eyed person man-led a brown-eyed person, and four children resulted Irom the marriage, one would be blue-eyed, one brown- eyed, and two might te blue-eyed with traces of brown. Thus, brown- eyed parents produce brown-eyed children but also blue-eyed children. Short people have tall children and tall people have short children. But a famfiy In which most of the members have been tall for lonj periods of time will produce far more tall children than short ones.

The operations of heredity therefore result on the whole In a certain degree of likeness or correlation between the characteristics ol the parents and the children but the results arc averages which have to be applied on a larg 1 scale and which have to be Interpreted with intelligence.
