REVEALS Is CENTS
SEX LAW STRAIGHT
Jehosaphat, Men,
Linen Collars
Are Up All
Over Town.

Father used to wear blue cell
luloid ones that'd last a lifetime
if they didn't catch fire.
Whenever they got soiled, he
didn't have to send 'em to the
laundry. He'd wipe 'em off with
his handkerchief, il he had one.
There'd have been nothing to
it,, but they were high priced.
They cost father two-bits.
Then along came a Yankee in
veptor who started making 'em
out Of paper.
They were cheap, but you
couldn't wipe off the spots.
1t wasn't long until another fell
low found a solution to the wilt
ing problem by making 'em out
of linen. ..'.
The price was two-for-a-Quar-
ter, and you could send 'em to the
laundry four or five times with
out their getting a saw-edge.
But everything is all shot to
pieces again.
Our sporting editor went to his
regular haberdasher to buy q
couple of new ones Friday after
noon and they cost him Is cents
apiece. II
He reared. II didn't do any
good. The storekeeper stuck to
his price, and got it.
Fifteen cents straight since
July t." he declared. THE job
bers boosted the price because
the manufacturers in the east
made them pay more to cover the
cost of buying scarce material
and hiring workmen at higher
wages" ..-.'tf,t 1900
And SO 1t is all over town--15
cents straight for linen collars
for men---s0 cents for half o
dozen, or Ats n dozen.

Scientist Sa y S
He Has Found
Solution of An
Age-Old Puzzle

SEATTLE, July 22.-Dr. Louis
Dechmann of 1877 North seth St.,
made public today his claim to
the discovery of the secret of pre-
determination of sex, sought by
scientists the world over for
ages.
/; DR.. Dechmann has been con-
Quoting his experiments in Sc
clusion for 81 years.
He has just completed a book
which he terms: "'The Dech-
mann Law of Determination of
Sex at WILL" in which he reveals
the secret by which he says one
may accurately ascertain the sex
of child long before birth.
Two copies of his text have
been painstakingly prepared. one
for President Wilson, the other
for Kaiser Wilhelm.
The latter copy he has sent TO
Baltimore as part of the cargo of
the German merchant submarine
Deutschland, on its return trip
through the British blockade.
II discovered the law on No
yember 3, 1909. and have since
tested 1t not once, but many hun
dreds of times, before / had sat

and was ready to make my an
nouncement to the scientific
world" said DR., Dechmann.
My experiments since 1909

even as great and important a
fact, that of the cross-transmis-
sion of characteristics.
with the knowledge of this
law. II will also be possible to ex-
terminate all hereditary DISPOSE
tion for diseases.
His research led DR.. Dechmann
to experiment, during the last 1s
years. with more than 600 kinds
of Vegetables, 1900 chickens,
dogs. rabbits and other animals.
He has tested his law thoroughly
