CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 31.-Dr. Royce d. Fry Of
275 Euclid avenue believes he has discovered
the secret Of sex formation. To-day DIR. Fry said:
II believe that II is possible to influence tho
sex Of children yet to be born. For several years

practice, but have hesitated to say anything
about It lest 1 should be misunderstood"

II do not say that have adopted any method.
but whatever results arc attained along this
line will lie in the direction Of a modified nutri.
ton. The idea which has been most widely
received by scientific men is that the rel
alive nutrition of tho parents influences
the sex Of the offspring. Darwin's tho.

applies to tho strongest In species, is
directly opposed to the most rational theory re-
garding, the perpetuation OF sex, The export:

Mr.. Hyland says that instead of wanting to

Of the voters in the district have wanted a
