Mastering the Sex Problem

Doctor Christian Champy, of
the University of Paris, reported
recently that he has actually sue
ceeded in changing the sex of a
number of salamanders, converting
them from males into egg-laying
females.
He first selected a male sala-
mander, which is harmless little
creature resembling a lizard, at a
time when its sexual life was par
tlcuiarly vigorous. He deprived it
of food until its sexual activity
ceased, then completely changed
its diet, gradually increasing the
latter until it became normal in
amount. At this time, the little
animal began laying eggs;. and
ever since, it has functioned thus
as a female. Moreover, the same
result has followed in the case of q
number of other specimens treated
in like manner.
1t seems to bring us step near
er the solution of the problem of
SEX control, which scientists have
long been trying to solve.

The Weeks Events
Briefly Told for Women
Readers
The Nameless Soldier Boy

We shall probably never know
who the soldier hero, brought back
from France, and buried in the
national cemetery at Arlington as
the great conference for the limita-
ton of ornaments was assembling
on Armistice Day, really was.
From small French cemetery
four bodies, all unknown, we're Ia
ken and the caskets were placed in
the little chapel at Chalons. Then
Sergeant Edward Younger, of the
American army, went in alone with
a bouquet of roses and placed it
upon one chosen at random. This
was the casket brought back to be
inferred in American soil, though
some of the earth from the ceme-
terry in which the slain soldier was
first laid to rest was brought with
the body and the soils of the two
lands we're mingled together as the
casket was covered second time.
In the chapel at Chalons, the
casket was buried in the flowers Of
French and Americans alike
French mothers who had given
sons in the great war wept, and
many knelt in prayer about the
bier.

Negligent Mothers Upbraided

At Big Rapids, Michigan, new
kind of mass meeting was held 8
short time ago. 1t was for moth.
ers only and was called by Justice
of the Peace Dresscher, who Sc
cured the town hall for the occa.
sion.
His purpose was to give the wo
men Of the city a severe scolding
for their neglect of their children
OF late, he has been compelled to
perform a large number of secret
marriages in order that the young
folks involved might escape social
disgrace. Indeed, as he puts it,
the city is in the midst of an cpl
demic of immortality.
Justice Dresscher fatty refused
to hold the young people respon-
sible for the situation. Instead,
he traced it back to the mothers
who were allowing their boys and
girls to run the streets. This is
the sort of training that is break
ing down home life in America, as
he sees it; and he wished the wo-
men of the city to be brought face
to face with their responsibility in
the matter.

Catholic Women See Duty

Catholic women, like others, are
organizing in order that they may
perform better the duties of citi-
zenship. The first convention Of
the National Council of Catholic
Women was held in Washington
last month.
One of the speakers, the Rever-
end Joseph Husslein, gave the
delegates the following wholesome
advice as to their duties as citizens,
"The use of the ballot is not
only privilege but a duty that
extends even to the clustered nuns
Catholic women must use the bal
lot intelligently and prepare their
sisters for it's use. In politics,
as in every other thing in her life,
it is woman's duty to see that
morality is upheld; to see that the
legal measures are in line with
Christianity and the law of God;
and to look after educational mat.
tiers. Man will never rise higher
than woman does; and if she
cheapens herself, she will drag
him down."
The delegates were received by
Mrs. Harding at the White House.
