DECLARES SEX
DETECTOR USELESS
Department of Agriculture
Issues Emphatic
Statement
RIDICULOUS CLAIMS
FOR INSTRUMENT.

Said 1t Would Show Sex oil Animal FRO
ducing Cheese - Could Make Most
Eggs Produce Pullets and Similar
FoOlishness.
WASHINGTON. March 13-Beware
of the sex detector, says the department
of agriculture. 1t is widely advertised
as one of the greatest '.marvels of the
age but there is nothing to it, the de-
partment asserts in a formal statement.
According to its manufacturers and
publicity agents, the detector is small
instrument that viii unfailingly Indicate
the sex and fertility of eggs, the depart
ment says, adding that poultry raisers
were promised phenomenal matches and
a., high a percentage of females as they
might desire by its use.
But this was only part of what
might bc expected of this simple but po-
tent little device. declares the depart
ment in recent circulav. IT was said
20 tell the sex of oysters. butterflies,
caterpillarS. beetles. worms. and even
the sex Of the animal from which were
obtained such products as leather and
cheese. although there would seem to be
little difficulty in the case of dairy prod
uctS.
Even the eriminologist was offered
assistance, for it was claimed that the
mlailing little detective would tell the
sex of the person who she'd the blood
found on clothing or elsewhere One
manufactures said that by attaching a
wire TO his apparatus and running it
through keyhole he could determine the
sex of any person holding the loose end
of the wire"
At the suggestion of the postotiice de-
partment the bureau of chemistry of tho
agriculture department made tests of
several such instruments-with the re
suit that all the manufacturers have
now gore out of business,
''One of the detectorS." continues the
report. was an elongated, tubular.
plummct-shaped device made of nickel
plated iron and filled with a grecnish
mixture of calcium carbonate and an
aluminium salt, and suspended by a fine
thread.
When held an inch above an egg
containing male germ the stuffed tube
was said to swing back and forth like
the pendulum of a clock; but if the egg
were of the opposite sex. the bob would
describe little circles. and in the case of
an infertile egg there would be no mo-
tion at all.
Another device consisted of small
giIded wooden bali having a cavity
filled with red lead and covered by a
small iron disk, the whole suspended by
cord. The telltale motions were
claimed to be the reverse of those that
indicated male and female with the other
Instrument
Try as the agricultural department ex-
perts would, they could not get the
miracles" TO work Tests on eggs and
other things by number of persons
showed that all the instruments were
useless. No two persons got the same
results with the same eggs, and eggs
known to be infertile gave positive in
dications that they would hatch both
pullcts and cockerels.
