EDITORIAL

Riverside Press: Almost any day
now We may expect to receive the
good news that the bill making the
Palm canyon national monument has
passed the senate The measure is in
charge of Senator johnson in that
house and he hopes to call it up for
passage at an early date: No opposi-
tion is anticipated. Congressman
Swing has piloted the measure
through the house without trouble and
Senator Johnson is equally interest
ed. The writer had the pleasure of
submitting some fine photographs of
the canyon to Senator Johnson when
tie movement was first started and
his response was most enthusiastic,
The campaign for this highly import
ant piece of work has been a long one
but the desired achievement now
seems near at hand.

LONDON SCIENTIST
WORKS ON NEW
THEORY
United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Feb. 17.-That the sex
of babies may be predetermined is
the theory now being worked on by
Professor Julian Huxley, noted scient-
ist.
He also believes that twins may be
al tificially created. He bases this on
experiments already conducted with
the eggs of the newt
With regard to sex predetermina-
ton, Professor Huxley stated that
chemical factors in father and moth
er themselves have sex determining
spermatazoa. 1nese are detinlte suo-
stances, the stronger of which-male
or female-determiI the sex of the
child
These two substances, the female
tending to suppress the male and the
male the female, in their turn are
produced apparently directly by the
sex factors in the hereditary consti-
tuition of father and mother.
''The existence of different sized
male and female determining sperma-
taZoa in mammals opens up all kinds
of possibilities" Professor Huxley
said.
at should prove possible to sep
arate the two kinds artificially and
then by means Of artificial insamina-
ton to control the sex of the off
spring"
Sex may already be influenced in
birds, Huxley said.
at has been known for some time
that old hen birds of various species
may assume male plumage," he said.
''The bird soon becomes almost indis-
tinguishable from an ordinary cock.
What is more he, or she, or it, begins
to crow Justify, to fight with other
cocks and to behave as cock toward
normal hens"
