WASHINGTON. Nov 10.-Thoughts
of the armament conference were mo-
mentarily interrupted yesterday in the
national capitol to canvass the meaning
of the various elections. Most of the
contests were local but the general trend
of Democratic success has not only
pleased the minority hereabouts but given
the majority party cause for slight un-
easiness about the congressional cam
paign which will develop within the next
few months.
1t is always difficult to analyze elee-
tion results in isolated sections. The Re
publican leaders professed to see little
significance in what occurred Tuesday.
The Democrats were Oyerjoyed, pointing
out that the Republican claim of great
gains in Virginia had failed to materialiZe
and that Democratic mayors had been
elected for the first time in many years
in both Syracuse and Albany, hitherto
Staunch Republican StrOngholdS The
fact that New York city reelected its
Democratic mayor by an overwhelming
majority prompted the Democrats here to
point out that the tide which swept New
York for Harding had started in an
opposite direction
Harding Tried to Help New Jersey
Nationally speaking the gains made by
the ''wets on the prohibition issue did
not pass unnoticed here where congress
is getting ready to act upon the anti-beer
bill. The New Jersey Democrats who
have apparently been swept into power
in the legislature after most humiliating
defeat last year has an Importance, how
ever. beyond the wet question for
United States senator is to be elected
there next November. President Hard
ing has Sensed the perils of the New .Ter-
Sey political situation and has right
along tried 70 do all he could to help Mr.
FreylinghuySen's prestige there. The
fact that close contests between the Re
publican and Democratic parties are in
dicated in two such states as New York
and New Jersey is impresSiug observers
here It means that congress within the
next few month, will be more closely
watched than heretofore and that the ac-
ton taken on the tax and tariff ques-
tiUu> will have much to do with the po-
itlcai complexion of the next congress.
The Democratic gains in the New York
legislature may make things difficult for
Senator Calder. Republican. next year.
May Lose Congress Next
From an international viewpoint the
change in the political character Of con.
grcSS next year would be of tranSCendaut|
Importance for it was in the middle of
Mr.. Wilson's second term that he lost
control of the senate. The consensus of
opinion seemed to be that the elections
this week. viii have a decided effect upon
Republican plans. Heretofore. with
such large majority there had been
little worry about the political future
The disposition has been to assume that
many Republican seats could still be lost
and control retained. Until the cleo
tions of this week such an assumption
was generally accepted by Democrats as
quite likely. They did not dream Of over

Spurred them on and brought out confident
predictions that the complexion of con
gress will change next year.
Better Record Necessary
The Republican leaders know therefore
that the next six months will tell the
tale-that President Harding's armament
conference from which it is hoped will
came a reduced tax burden must succeed
and the people must feel satisfied with
the way congress has acted on the tariff
as well as Kindred matters before they
will vote TO return the present party.
Some disinterested observers believe the
elections of the week convey only one
meanins-namely. of continued ten
dency on the part of the people to vote
against the Incumbent party. The feel
ing against the party in power in 1920
was intense Dissatisfaction with what
The Republicans might do in congress
would not have any particular reference
to the capacity of the Democrats to do
any better. The protest vote is still all
powerful The prestige of neither party
* probably no higher but the restless
ness Of the body polite IS Just as pro-
nounced as it was a year ago.

Possible
ToFiix Sex
Says Jap
Mental CONCENTRATION
by Mother Is Means;
Proves Successful In
Many Cases
BY Newton G. Parke

Paris, July 21.--A possible solu
tion of the problem Of repopulat-
ing Europe with males to replace 4
the millions lost in the war is seen
by French scientists in the an
nouncement of DIR. Kari,
one of the most noted medical men
OF Japan, that parents can posi-
lively insure the sex of their un-
born children by very simple
means.
Several other discoveries Of
the same kind have been made In
the past, but their exponents were
not men of sufficient prominence
to give their statements much
weight. The Japanese physician,
who describes his method in the
current issue OF the French Revue
Mondiale. was for a long time di-
rector Of the College OF Toxic. He
makes the positive assertion that
by using his method parents can
make certain that an unborn child
will be either boy or girl, ac-
cording to their choice. In 95 per
cent Of all cases.
1t is a very simple matter,
writes DIR. Tu-Se-Ka-Ri If the
parents want a boy baby the pros
pective mother has only to concen-f
rrate on that idea and say each
evening before going to sleep and
each morning on arising:
II will have a baby boy"
The japanese doctor expert
mented with 1942 cases before
making his discovery public. In
1898 cases mothers who followed
his suggestion had their wishes
fulfilled. He attributes failure In
the other thirty-four cases to the
iaet that prospective mothers were
thinking Of other things when
they repeated his magic formula
and did not concentrate their at
teRtion.
Jacques Hardy, a French scier-
tist, who presented DIR. Tu-Se-Ka-
Rrs statement, not only gives its
approval, but declares that he
himself has tried the same expert
nent with six women. four Of
whom wanted boys and two girls.
and that in each instance they had
their wishes fulfilled. He adds
that twenty similar experiments
are being made by noted Paris
physicians and that the results
will soon be made public
