ribly swift fires that sometimes blot
out the lives of crowded dwellers al

ement at II Humboldt street, Will

killed an entire family of five besides
one other person. Fifty other folks

the narrowest margin of safety and
escaped only by jumping into the nets
of the tiremen or by being swung
from window ledge to window ledge
high over the street.
Those who died were Mrs. Rose
Abrams, a widow; her four children,
Charles, Anna, Gussie and Sadie, and
Mrs. Jennie Cohen, the mother of AS
semblyman Sam Gluck, of Queens.

SEX us DECIDED BY THE WEAKER PARENT, SCIENTIST SAYS
Or. Ron1n1e Supports His Discovery OF Natures
Law With Statistics That Seemingly
Prove His Theory.
100 BOYS ARE BORN TO EVERY 1o5 GIRLS
Proportion Found Identical i'm All Countries
After a Great War.

London.-Dr. Romme, the eminent
psychologist, has compiled statistics
which prove, he maintains, that a boy
is born when the father is the weaker
of the two parents and girl when
the mother is the weaker partner.
DR.. Romme has been Investigating
the question of sex for many years,
and his announcement of the law as
he has discovered it and his statistics
have caused widespread interest and
discussion. He declares it to be a
universal law of nature that the child
resembles the weaker and not the
stronger of it's parents.
III all countries the proportion is
found to be almost identical, namely,
los or LOG girls to 100 boys. The
only exception is found after a great
war. This is because the best and
strongest men are sent to the front,
while the weakest remain behind
The psychologist declares that nat
ures purpose is to replace the weaker
individual with another of the same
sex before he or she disappears.
More Boys When War RACES.
Among barbarous nations, contin-
ually at war, there is always a pre-
ponderance of boys over girls. When
an old man marries a young wife it Is
proved fact that more boys than
girls are born. the opposite being the
case when the wife is much older
than the husband.
To every 1000 girls born, Dr..
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-05-05

Romme says, there are 865 boys
when the father is younger than the
mother; 94S boys when both parents
are of the same age; 1887 boys when
the father is from one to six years
older than the mother; 1867 boys
when the father is from six to eleven
years older than the mother; 1474
boys when the father is from eleven
to sixteen years older than the moth
er, and 1882 boys when the father is
more than sixteen years older than
the mother.
Worry May Turn the Scale.
DR.. Romme asserts that there are
practically no instances where the
strength of both parents is equal.
Worry, illness, any slight trouble, is
sufficient to turn the scale.
Kaiser Wilhelm, he points out, had
five sons in succession, while the
Czarina had four daughters in success
sion. DR.. Romme AYERS that he is
unable to find a single instance in
which his rule has been transgressed.
1t is, in fact, repetition in another
form of Professor Schenck's famous
sex theory under which he proposed
to increase the stamina and the red
corpuscles in a parent when the de-
sire was to beget child of the oppo-
site sex. Thus the Czarina, wanting
a male successor to the Russian
throne, was subjected to Professor
Schenck's nourishing treatment, with
an ultimately successful result.
