BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Sept. 16.-
Scientists attending meeting OF
the British Association partly neglect
ed today's program to discuss the as
sertion Of Sir Oliver Lodge that de.
termination Of sex will eventually be
solved by plant study He said that
plants which bear both male and fe,
male blossoms produce and nurture
both with the same sap.
Whenever scientists find out the
process by which the sap divides be
tween male and female flowers they
may be able to control the sex OF
human infants. DR.. Harry Campbell
said that man undoubtedly evolved
from the ape which left thu trees and
took to the plains where he became
carnivorous. A harder struggle for 6
meat-eating existence led to more
injustice. The stronger the ape the
more wives he had and the more
beautiful females he chose for his
mates. This, said Campbeh, accounts
for the fact that now the ugly mer
have beautiful wives. Women, ht
said, are not guided by the aesthetic
in choosing their mates.

CHICAGO, Sept 16.-The Chicago

world. Leading modistes who saw a
pretty model don It today and dem
onstrate Its many virtues at the an

Makers club pronounced it Just that.
The Chicago" is built to suit any
taste and for any occasion. With a
single gown the wearer may prove
herself an example of propriety or
shock city as far as she chooses.
The model who took the spotlight
first wore what appeared a three
piece street suit. She made an exit
and reappeared minus the coat, wear
ing a gown of crepe smoke color that
covered her fully from chin to foot.
Entrance number three brought a
slight gasp. The model wore the same
gown but 1t was extremely decollette.
She bent over and fumbled with a
hook and eye and 1t became a slit
skirt. More fumbling and the slit
extended to the knee. "All these
changes can be made in single gown
in the time it takes to powder your
nose," announced the designer, Mrs
Alice Ripley.
