End of low mood lifts in New England textile mills
The first five months of 1908 show a shift as many New England mills resume full time operations. Output rises and about 35 600 workers gain back full schedules while several plants increase hours or slash wages to adjust for a revived spring trade. Some mills face continued short time into summer and potential wage cuts.

Dutch Doctors Outline Heredity Insights From 3000 Families
Two Dutch physicians Heymans and Wireama summarize data from over 3,000 cooperating doctors on inherited traits. They report that mathematical ability and quick thought expression often run from father to son, with daughters less likely to inherit such gifts. Mothers devoted to science yield all sons inheriting scientific inclination. Girls copy maternal roving dispositions, while boys follow paternal inclinations. The paper notes strong paternal influence on good nature and self-study traits, with some exceptions in social talk and confidence.
