SEX PROBLEMS
QUESTIONS BEARING ON OFF
SPRING CLASSIFIED BY DA-
kOTA L.. PROFESSOR.

Nermillion. May 17.-If youth
mates with age are the children more
likely TO be boys or girls Ii the
father Is the elder OF the parents or
the mother * the elder, or if both
parents are the same age and are
youthful. or in middle life. what is
likely to be the sex of the majority
Of their offspring?
Facts bearing on such questions
are TO be found in the vital statistics.
The first attempt TO classify such
statistics for South Dakota with ref
erence TO the question of sex OF the
offspring has been made by DR..
Thomas Emery Mckinney, head OF
the department OF mathematics at
the University of South Dakota.
DR.. Mckinney took statistics for
5000 births between 1909 and 1913
as the basis of his tabulations. Or.
Mckinney states his conclusions as
follows:
In South Dakota in the years
1900 to 1913. inclusive. the mothers
giving birth to daughters showed less
variability in age, in the distribution
Of age with respect to the yearly
average and in the asymmetry OF
their distribution than did mothers
giving birth TO sons.
In South Dakota in the years
1909 to 1918. inclusive, the fathers
of sons born in this period were less
variable in average age, in the dis
1 tribution of ages with respect to the
yearly average, and in the asymmetry
of this distribution than We're tho
fathers of daughters.
Taking the entire period into con
s%ideration, the average age of moth
ers of daughters differ less from thai
of the fathers than does the averagf
age OF the mothers of sons differ
from that of the fathers.
The average age of the mothers
of daughters is greater than that Q
the mothers of sons, and the average
age of fathers of daughters is les
than that of the fathers OF sons.

FAKE LABOR AGENTS
LABORERS ARE GIVEN FtCTI-
TIOUS NAMES OF EMPLOYERS
AND SHIPPED FROM CITIES.

Huron, May 17.-One of the bad
