FORECAST SEX
 OF. THE UNBORN
DOCTOR DECLARES BY LAW or NATURE CHILD RESEMBLES
 WEAKER PARENT.

PARIS, June 3.--Dr. Louis Romme one of tho leading physicians and scien. lists in France, in paper contributed to "La Revue, is expounding the the. ory that the sex of an infant has some relation to tho strength of the parents. When the mother is the stronger, na- ture favors boys, and vice versa
 To illustrate his theory Dr. Romme cites examples among the living sover- eigns. The kaiser, he says, had five sons in succession, while the Empress of Russia, on the other hand, has had four daughters in succession born to her.
 "In my career" he says, "I have not met 8 single instance which has transgresscd this rule.
 Dr. Romme, after close statistical study, declares that by n law of nature the child resembles the weaker and not the stronger of the parents. He points ont that in all countries with mathematical regularity, 105 or 106 girls are born to every 100 boys. There is only one condition under which this proportion is modified-after great war. In the same way, among the brabarous races of Africa and Oceania, which are constantly at war, the births show an overwhelming pre- ponderance of boys. This, he states, proves the law, for the best and strong est men are sent to the front or killed, and the weakest remain behind and sur vive.
 The purpose of nature, Dr. Romme says. is to maintain the balance, and to replace the weaker individual with another of the same sex before he or she disappears. Thus, when an old man marries young woman, it is we'll known fact, continues Dr. Romme, that more boys than girls are born to such union. The opposite is the case where the wife is much older than the hus. band
 Dr. Romme has callecteN the follow ing statistics after studying the births all over the world: For every 1000 girls born there are born-S65 boys when the father is younger han the mother; 94S boys when the father is of the same age as the moth'r; l037 boys when the father is one to fix years older than the mother; 1867 boys when the father is six to eleven years older than the mother; l474 wben the father is eleven to sixteen years older than the mother; l632 boys when the father is sixteen or more years older than the mother.
 Dr. Romme asserts that tNere arc practically no instances wh're the strength of both parents is equal.
 Worry, concludes Dr. Romme, or g passing illness, mental depres'ion--or indeed any slight trouble is sufficient to turn the scale and cause a temporary and relative weakness in on' or tho other.

WOMEN CAD SO
 MEAT IS HIGH
ONE BUTCHER THROWS SOME NEW LIGHT ON THE GREAT FIX
 PENsE OF LIVING.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Meat prices are not modest. In fact, they are going to be still higher until fall. Everybody says so, and everybody ought to know. Two causes of high prices are the dear housewife and 70.cent corn.
 With some cattle selling on the hoof at $6.90, top steaks will have to bring 271a cents to let the butcher get an even break.
 "Things are pretty fierce,' said a we'll known retailer the other day. 'Porterhouse is selling from 25 to 2s cents; rib cuts are up as high as 20 cents; Joins, all the way across, being from 15 to 20 cents, and chuck that a few months ago sold at 8 cents, now brings 10 cents to l2Es cents. ]"
 These same cuts from inferior cattle .an be bought from 2la cents to cents 'css. Pork is still within reach, Joins selling from 10 to 1912 cents and chops at 1912 cents. "And it is going high er," said the butcher.
 "Why should meat be so high9'' a man asked butcher after he had planked down 60 cents for two pounds of lamb chops.
 Sev,.ntycent corn,' was the terse reply. Wen have no grass cattle un- til fall v he continued. Meantime, we have to buy corn-fed stock. Corn | is bringing 70 cents and a steer eats half a bNshel every day. He has to be fattened 100 days at the very least. That males live animal dear and the dressed carcass still more so.
 "AEd the dear women, too,' inter l iected the butcher's assistant. He was mad ibout it. He grabbed the custom CTS arm and dragged him to a cooler. "Look here," the assistant said, Cat these club steaks, porterhouse and T. bones. The women come down town shopping, spend an afternoon buying ninknacks, and then they look at their | watches and see it is 4:50. They make a rush for the butchers and buy a steak. It is so cas yto cook steak and | they do not want to take their street dresses off. I ask them to buy roast and they kick. This kind of meat would make them stay at home and miss something down town, so they demand a steak and that makes prices high. "How do you arrive at that?' the customer asked.
 "Well," said the butcher, "I have to pay l21a cents pound for the en- | tire carcass and I cannot get more than 7h cents for some parts of it This minute that piece of meat there, shoulder, "is on that hook at 2 cents less than it cost me. That 9 cents, the cuttcr's wages, the rent and the other expenses, are all piled into the loin.
 "The woman who gets the T-bone steak will kick because I have got tc charge her double or more than double what it cost me, but she will not thank me for offering to sell her fine roast for exactly what al gave for it. There is no sense in the kitchen. All of then refuse to cook anything that won't g. into frying pan and that will not b'
