Report Discovery of
Sex DETERMINATION

San Francisco. A secret device
that will indicate the sex of any liv-
ing organism has heen invented by a
local chemist. The instrument con-
sists of a globe of secret composition
suspended by a silken fiber. In ap-
plying the device the globe is sus-
pended above the subject If the
organism is male it swings in a
circle. If the subject is female the
globe swings back and forth like the
pendulum of a clock.
The device was first tried on eggs
in an incubator. over 80 per cent.
of the eggs Matched out as Indicated
by the invention. Then other OK
periments were made in a butcher
shop. The globe indicated the sex
of the cuts of meat and dried blood,
and has even determined the sex of
a child before birth.
The new instrument will be very
valuable in the apprehension of
criminals, owing to the hevible de-
lection of the sex of blood. A local
detective agency is now investigating
the invention.

How true this is, and yet statistics show that
surprisingly small percentage of women are per-
fecty healthy. You will, therefore, see the wide
spread need for Memo Hygienic-Stylc Service,
particularly that SO many women are being
called upon for unusual service.
Memo Corsets designed to prevent, relieve and
many physical weaknesses. In selecting them
should be taken to service
needed.

Der of women who suffer from backache, the

corset and across the back, gives just the support
that is required to rest tired, aching muscles. 1t

A Race Of crippIes.

The military medical authorities
have examined our citizens by the
thousands. The results of this ex-
animation in many instances: writes
Bernard Macfadden, In Physical Gull
ture, have been as follows:
Out of every five examined, one 10
considered sound. The other four are
cripples. Some part Of their internal
organisms is affected. The heart, stOm-
ach, lungs, kidneys or some other vital
organ or function is crippled.
For generations the blind have been
leading the blind.
The physical body is Of no special
Importance. The house in which we
live needs no special attention. II
"Just grows" No matter how dirty
1t may be. So long as the dirt does
not show on the surface, there is no
occasion for complaint or criticism.
That has been our attitude.
1t is about time for us to change.
1t Is about time for us to give the
body its proper appreciation. Learn
to respect 1t, to revere 1t, to care for
1t as you would for your most preci-
GUS possession.

Salvage Corp. at Battle Front.

According to the systems now estab-
lished In modern warfare, 1t Is stated
by war correspondent, salvage
corps is daily going over all the ground
near the battle front exposed to fire,
and is gathering all the debris dis.
carded by the cOntending armies. None
Of the scrap Is neglected, with steel
worth one shilling to one and one-half
shlllings per pound, and copper and
other metals in proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various mu-
nitions that modern army uses.
All the lead that is fired is prac-
ticnlly lost, as bullet travelling ut u
velocity of 1000 feet or more per Sec
ond buries itself so deep into any OBJ.
ject It hits as to be lost entirely. 9th
er metals. however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces OF shells, bits Of copper, pieces
of aluminium, etc. are carefully collect
ed and later turned into disable condi-
ton.

KAISER'S BIRTH CAUSED JOY
Queen Victoria, Upon Receipt Of Tele-
gram Announcing Tidinos, Could
Not Maintain Usual Dignity.

Anecdotes about the royal family
are usually rather fiat, but here is 4
good story of Queen Victoria, relates
correspondent, the ironic and ter
rible commentary on which she mer-
cifully did not live to see:
'The queen, whom we had so late
ly parted from In calm dignity, was
flying with the eagerness of young
girl, and so rapid was her movement,
and so joyous her expression, 1t was
plain that her suite had much diff
Guilty in keeping pace with her speed.
Catching sight of friend in the dis
lance, as she came up the long room,
she suddenly waved aloft telegram
form that she was holding in her hand,
and called out In triumphant tones
unheeding the shocked expression Of
her attendants at such unconventIon-
atty: Lady Login! Lady Logln! 1

Such was the welcome given to the
English queens first grandchild-

ALGERIA's WINE CROP YIELD
Product, Distinctly Inferior to That Of
Previous Season, Will Total Only
About 158, So, 800 Gallons.

The wine crop Of Algeria Is distinctly
inferior to that of year ago. The Of
ficial statistics Of the vintage will not
be issued for several weeks; but, ac-
cording to the general estimate, the
yield approximates 100000 hecoli-
ters (15S,5O2, 300 gallOns), compared
with S,7S1 ,266 hecoliters (231, 975, 100
gallons) in 1915.
The seasons unusual dryness. which
lasted from spring until the full ma
turity Of the grape. states Commercial
Reports, has resulted In u wine appre-
ciably stronger. PhyllOxera and other
plant diseases did considerable dam
age to the vines, and the late siroccos
further tended to reduce the output.
The lack of labor was also a handi-
cap. especially in the department of
Oran, which was unable to draw upon
Morocco to any extent.
Prices range much higher and the
return to the wine producers promises
to be good. Transportation facilities
to France-which country takes a
large percentage of the crop-are far
from normal, and there Is likely to be
a marked shortage In barrels and bot.
ties.

Military eyeglasses is the contribu-
ton to the field of war inventions by
DIR. Robert j. James. well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features of the new
eyeglasses, according to the Inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the tightening hold on the
nose. which Is injurious to ones health
and comfort, is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate ut the end OF
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest on any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as is the case when the
only point of suspension is ut the nose

FASCINATION OF AIR LIFE
First Trip In Army Airpiane 10
Thriller Apart From Everything
Else In Life, Says Filler.

An aviation student In one of the
Western schools declares that the
sensation of the first trip in one Of
the governments aircraft is not to be
compared with anything else he ever
experienced. He explained 1t thus:
II wish had the ability to describe
the fascination Of this work of learn
Ing to be the cavalry of the air, or
eyes Of the army, or anything else one
chooses to call us.
Let me tell you that your first trip
In an airplane is thing apart. absO-
lutely new and different from any ex-
perience that you ever had.
"You climb into the bus with your
sweater and your leather helmet and
goggles, looking like something you
would throw. a raw fish to If you saw 1t
In cage, and the lieutenant shoves on
the power and you go humping and
bouncing along the ground with big
wind In your face and the prop spic,-
ming out in front like a Dutch wing
mill gone crazy.
Then suddenly the bumps are gone
and you go whirring swiftly and stead
lily up into the clear air and sunshine
and the earth falls away like fade
away on a movie screen and the fool
ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces ut you as you 90
over.
II hope don't get mumps or liver
complaint or some fool thing that will
keep me out Of 1t all. This Is my pet
fear more than that of taking fall
or getting smashed into"

NO MILK FROM CHINESE cow
6ossy Of the Flowery Kingdom YieIds
Only to offsprina-Used Only for
Draft Purposes.

Americans who travel through the
interior of China greatly miss Cows
Milk and Her Butter" us u Japanese
sign puts it. The people Of the Orient
use little of either. Mares milk is sold
to invalids at Il high price, because the
Chinese believe that 1t is source of
great bodily strength, says the Youths
Companion.
But the natives use cows solely for
draft purposes and, having earned her
living for years in this manner, bossy
stands upon her dignity when Ameri-
cans demand milk of her. To her Off
spring she will give 1t, but not to man
If by any possibility she can avoid 1t.
In Japan there are now u few Am
erican-bred cattle, owned by foreign
ers, that make the native cows look
like goats. One of these cows was inn
ported into Korea by u missionary, but
he had difficulty in getting his coolie
to tend the beast. The servant was
fresh from his country home, where he
had heard little and seen less. He
took the COW for an elephant and fled
before her.
In Korea the little native COW is a
petted darling that has been INDUCED
to such an extent that, incredible as it
seems, she refuses to eat grass unless
1t has been boiled.
