CLAIMS TO KNOW
SECRET OF SEX
Experimenting With Four
Leading Families.
DiSCoverer Says it is Just a
Fundamental Law Which
To Observe.

"A New York Special says:--Alrs
G. E. Calhoun, who claimed recently
she had discovered she secret of sex,
is now conducting experiments in four
of the most promino mt families in
America and believe male heirs will be
born as result of her services.
Mrs. Calhoun, is charging nothing
and is under compact with the fam
lilies 10 keep their names secret unless
male children are born. She has been
making study of the subject Of sex
for 80 years and claims she can con-
troll sex in cattle and children.
Mrs. Calhoun says her method Of
determining sex is not medicine or
surgery. 1t is all based on a law of
nature which hitherto, she says. has
escaped the researches of scientists.
Mrs. Calhoun's process there
fore, there will first be the law and to
go with 1t simple rules necessary to
strict observance of the law.
She learned her entire secret from
nature in the first instance. She had
ranch in California and in expert
menting with different varieties of
fruit and vegetables came to her first
knowledge of the fundamental law
which is her discovery.
Carrying her discovery into the pas
ture she made experiments with her
cattle and learned that she was able
to fix the sex of their produce. Horses.
cattle, sheep, swine, all responded.
Her next experiments were on her
self, and her four sons, she declares,
testify to success in that instance.
Mrs. Calhoun maintains that the
greatest good from her discovery will
accrue to members of her own sex.
There are too many women on the
earth now she says. So many that
they have to take their places side
by side with men and perform labor
that nature never intended them 10

which she says she will give her Sc

The White Tile.
(Portland Advertiser.)

II VI fioNSl
/ There was reproduced in yesterday
issue Of the Portland Sunday Times a
picture taken in the '70's and showing
a party of Portland druggists at pic
mic at Long Island. 1t is an interest
ing picture because it is possible 10
pick out in the group the faces of many
well known PortlanderS but the picture
has another interest. IT serves to re-
call the days of the white tall hat.
Thirty years ago, the Portlander who
wore a tile OF glistening black in WIN
ter was prone to stick to that form OF
headeeaf in the summer months. Some
times he made concession to the heat
by wearing a white hat but the form
was preserved. Does the number of
these towering head coverings shown in
the picture indicate that life was more
formal in the last generation in Port
land than it is today? What we wonder
would happen to ;rmember of the Cum
berland County Pharmaceutical asso-
citation if he should attend next sum-
mer'S outing with tall hat on his few
cred brow in the sultry August wealth.
er? Yet only thirty years ago. tall hats
black and white were evidently regard
eu us appropriate To q midsummer PIC
mic. If you doubt it, look at the pic
ture and be convinced. There also we
find evidence of the vogue of the long
tailed coat. Those compounders of
medicine who gathered at the Hotel de
Ponce on that summer day of the long
ago included in their party a consider
able number of the devotees of the
coat which was then known as the
Prince Albert. 1t is buttoned tightly
across their manly bosoms below the
shafts of beaver and felt which sur
mount their domes of thought Today
even members of the Maine Supreme
court do not wear such a costume
when they lay aside their robes and
journey to the islands. But it was
good form in the '70s to attend a pic
mic dressed as for wedding or fu-
neral. We assume that when the men
of mortar and pestle played base ball
they must have indulged in the nation
al game-the tall hats and the long
coats were laid aside but they are very
much in evidence in the picture and
serve to suggest that in some respects
al least the customs in mems dress
have changed for the better.

Larger State House Needed.

The State newspapers, interested of
course in the rapidly approaching OPEN
ing of the Legislative session, are en-
joying discussion of the project TO
enlarge the State House. There isn't
much doubt that the State House en-
largement plan will go through this
Winter 1t is a necessity. in view of
the decision Of last session for All
gusta to remain the capital. Three
months. every other year the building
is crowded There is no trouble about
the other twenty-one months, there
is room enough then. but the legisla-
tors are not in Augusta then, and
when they see the condition there is
certainly a demand for relief. One
Democratic paper, evidently despairins
of the time ever arriving when Demo-
Gratis will occupy these offices suS-
gests that the expense might be saved
by lessening the number OF Office
holders, and suggests the abolition OF
the office of Labor Commissioner.

did any good Whether there is rea-
son back of this suggestion or not, It
will not be likely to succeed. The en-
largement of the State House viii

him to return. He carried with nm

that it is the desire of himself and

conditions the family has so long en-
joyed during the summer months at
Murray Bay. Canada. There each of
the Taft brothers have cottages. If
the appropriate place can be found

made later, the four brothers, William

In Prof. Austin Carys report on
forestry to the State Grange he de-
clared that the most valuable forest
land in the State at present is south
west of the Apdroscoggin river where
white pine will grow almost like d
weed in the sandy soil. He thinks
the Grange has great chance to edu-
cate the people in this respect and to
make clear the possibilities and profits
in careful, we'll directed work in this
line. Professor Cary strongly argued
in favor of State forests in Maine, ad
viSng the purchase of land suitable
for the purpose as rapidly as possible.
He declared that State forests are a
well accepted principle of political
economy and among the advantages
named the follOwing: Maintenance of
a stable and substantial income; use
of much land now going to waste. Mr.
Pinchot has stated that there are two
and one-half million acres in New
England on which only does tree
planting have any significance, the
rest being restocked, or capable OF be-
ing restocked, by natural means. "If
one-half Of this area belongs to
Maine" said Prof. Cary, "a large
share is in the above condition. This
is enough. if under good forest culture
! and untaxed, to provide all the re-
venue now raised by the State He
explained that conditions are such
that investment in such projects is
not tempting to private capital and
that the work must be done by the
State. Among the principal problems
of forestry at present Prof. Cary
mentioned better fire control aug
menting and managing land in name
of State, regulating cutting and
gathering of scientific data for use in
practical work
