JAP HAS SEX CONTROL
SECRET, HE ASSERTS

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 26.-The
enigma of sex control. which has con-
cerned scientists for many years, Is
said to have been solved by George
Orishay Shinja, Japanese graduate
student at the University OF Califor-
MIA.
After three years of laboratory
work on the sex problem, Shinja, now
carrying on work under the super
vision OF the department of entomol-
ogy, declares he has discovered the
secret by which the process OF re-
production can be- controlled
Although the Japanese scientist
has confined his experiments so far
to the small insects, aphids or plant
lice, he hopes to verify his findings
by experiments on the blow fly, POM
ice fly, amphibia and on such high
forms of animal life as the pigeon
and chicken. The results OF these
investigations. he believes, will prove
that sex can be controlled even in
the human family.
Shinja's discovery was made as the
result of an accident. In 1912 he
started his experiments on aphids
with the primal idea of producing
winged and non-winged forms OF the
insect by means Of chemical treat
ment.
After experimenting with many
kinds of chemical salts, he found
magnesium chloride best suited his
purposes. and this he used exclusive
~. While working on the effect this
chloride had on the wings of the
aphid he noticed that those which he
treated gave birth only to the male
sex
Experimenting further along this
line. he says, he has proved that in
all cases of reproduction without the
male cell, the offspring to the second
generation Of aphids, which had been
treated with magnesium chloride.
turned out males.
Shinja claims that the magnesium
chloride removes the water from
protein substances. AS water is the
chief cell forming substance. its re
moTal, he finds. so deranges the nor
NAL maturation process that the male
offspring IS bound to result.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE RENO
ROTARY CLUB, SATURDAY, FEB II, 1917

Senator Miles Poindextcr OF the
state OF Washington introduced n bill
for-the. amendment of the interstate
commerce act and providing for an
absolute ~long-and-short.ha haul. which
simly means railroad shall not
charge more for a shorter than for n
longer haul over the same line in the
same direction. 1t is by making pro.
visions" and exceptions" in the pres.
ent law that the railroads and coast
cities have been able, repeatedly, to
Illustrate intermountain cities in secur.
ing just rates.
The people OF Reno and the inter-
mountain territory should not stand
for the unjust discrimination. Funda-
mentally the present system is against
justice and against every sense of
right and square dealing.
The Reno Commercial club in con.
junction with the organizations named
below are going to send to Washing
ton. d. c., one of the best informed
railroad attorneys in this section, who
will practically conduct our campaign.
The people of Reno and Nevada will
be called upon for funds to defray the
necessary expenses, which will be an
infinitesimal amount compared with
the tremendous sum of money which
is now being collected in unjust and
excessive rates by the railroads.

|, London, Jan. 23.-The level of re-
tail food prices has advanced "a per
lcent since the war begun on twenty
leading articles of daily use, accord
ing to the Board of Trade returns just
issued. AS compared with prices in
December, 1915, they showed an av-
erage advance of 20 per cent. The
price Of meat increased during the
year by about 20 to 25 per cent. Po-
tatoes were considerably more than
double the price Of year earlier.
Granulated sugar, eggs and cheese
were dearer by 40 per cent, 30 per
cent, and 30 per cent, respectively.
For flour, bread, milk, butter, bacon,
and fish, increases ranging from IL
to 27 per cent were recorded. The
price of margarine advanced during

ner ninguna relacion entire 81; pero hay que pen
sar Ell case antes de juzgar por las apariencias.
La Nacion Americana -es la mas populosa y paci-
flea democrada del mundo, la que anteriormen-
te fue la mejor amiga de Alemania y la que
mayor repugnancia ha demostrado siempre por
la guerra. FL Imperio Ruso era la mas populosa
y poderosa autocracia de todas las autocracias
res a los demoCratas que la misma Alemania.
Cuando la gran guerra estallo estre las potencias
centrales por un lado y Francia, Gran Bretana,
y Russia por Ell otro, ell principal fin de la estra-
tegia alemana debiera haber consistido en- pre-
venir toda alteration en- las relaciones que con-
los intereses alemanes y EN- conesrvar a Russia
en- su calidad de autocracia.
Mientras los Estados Unidos no fueran arras-
trados a Il guerra, las Naciones democraticas
no Sc aliarian en- contra de Alemania. Por la
misma razon Russia, %quedando con su caracter
autocratico quitaba a la guerra TODD caracter de
ideal liberatorio para la humanidad. Russia ha
llegado a ser una democracia y los Estados Uni
dos un beligerante anti-germanico, debido en-
gran parte a la misma politica alemana que, en-
lugar de prevenir estos ~peligros, Sc diria que in
tento precipitarlos. Hay una extrana relacion
entire ambo hechos; hay mas connection de la que
Sc puede ~imaginar y tienen una significacion que
