EGG ANALYSIS To.
FIX SEX, SAYS
BIOLOGIST
Determination in Human Beings
to Follow That in Animals, As
serts Chicago Professor.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Sex control Of
pigeons. cattle and frogs is posi-
bic and has been proved by expert
ments, according to Professor Oscar
Riddle, of the biology department OF
the University of Chicago. who lee
tured in the auditorium of the botany
depa rtment OF the university.
The entire secret of sex control of
higher forms Of life lies in the de-
termination Of the exact time at
which the embryonic egg is to be fer
tilted. Professor Riddle said. This
period Is being brought within mar
rover limits each day. he said, and
while scientists admit human sex
control is long way off, its ultimate
Is assured.
Experiments have proved that the
embryonic egg can be shown, by
chemical analysis to be either male
or female. even in the higher ami
mails" said Professor Riddle
The experiments Of scientists nov
are devoted to finding some way to
analyze the human egg and deter
mine its sex without destroying its
fertility. Then. by a process of fer
tiliZing only those eggs of the sex de-
sired, the long dreamed vision of the
bIolog ist sex control absolute and in
fallible will be an accomplished
fact"

No NEW YEAR, s
RECEPTION At
WHITE HOUSE
Society Suffers Greatest Shock
Of the Wilson Administration.
Custom Nearly Century Old.

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-Society
received to-day the greatest shock
administered since President Wilson
assumed office. Official announce
ment was made that the annual New
Years reception. which has been held
at the White House for nearly a
century. will be abandoned for the
present.
Whether it will be resumed in 1915
is not known. but friends of the
President and Mrs. Wilson do not be-
lieve that it will be.
Capital society got its first jolt from
the President when he called off the
inaugural ball. There came another
when it was learned that many of the
leaders here would not be invited to
the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson,
and a third when the annual diplo-
matte reception was called off, but
to-day's announcement capped the
climax of society's grief.
