EVOLUTION AMONG SUBJECTS AT MEET
Predicted Sex Of Humans Will Eventually Be Sub-
 feet To Alteration

CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S.-Upon sex food. evolution Q and fundamental mathematics scientists turned their flashlights of research reports on the second day of the 1923 assembly of the American Association for the ? Advancement of Science.
 Most astounding of all was the de- scription of the metamorphosis of a female pigeon into a male, and the prediction that eventually the sex of human beings will become subject to alteration.
 An important success in botanical research was reported by Prof. Fran cis E. Lloyd of McGill university. After long and fruitless experiment, botan- ists have at last induced flourescence in a group of microscopic plants FlouSescence is a property which causes certain plants to give off d characteristic light upon exposure to brilliant white light. Brilliant hues of deep red, orange or yellow were produced by the latest eXperi- ments. which will prove valuable in analyzing the food making process in plants, and which will aid the eff forts for synthetization of food pro- duction.
 Certain therbes concerning. ancient man which had nearly deepened into convictions among anthropologists are being overthrown every day by fresh discoveries, reported Dr. Alec Hrdleka, just back from his third visit to sections of Western and Cen tral Europe. which he declared was truly the cradle of human evolu- tion.
 For example. the more or less ar bitrary subdivision and duration dates set hitherto for the glacial age are succumbing to a growing un- certainty, Hrdlicka told the scientists. It is now quite certain, he believes that the diltdown jaw did not belong with the skull, found in the same excavations, with which it has been associated
 Nevertheless, Hrdlicka declared, as man digs farther into the earth and reads the bones of his fathers and the collateral records in the rocks. Yestiges of plants and animals. the mystery of a mans evolution gradu- ally grows clearer.
 American science was concratu- lated by Prof. G. A Miller of the University of Illinois upon this conn try's advance in mathematical rank Ing. In 1S4S. he said, when the A A. A. s. first met. America had no eminent mathmaticians to measure With Couchy of France, Guss of Ger many and Hamilton of Ireland Now "a native Chian. Prof E. H. Moore ot the University aof Chicago, ranks Wltn the topnotchers in pure 1nath matles Still, Miller declared, Amer ica relative position in the most pasie oI the sciences is not so high

In France he told a reporter one muddy afternoon that baseball fame was pretty shoddy material. Let him knock a homer in the ninth to win a ball game and he'd be nero Tor a season. Let him lose a couple of games though, and he would be, to quote him faithfully, "as big bum as anyone"

SCIENCE LEAVES THE THIRD
 FLOOR HACK

In the late world series science won it's share of triumph at an average fee of S150,OOO for each afternoons ex- hibition It is not considered to be in the best taste to harp on the fi- nancial aspects of world series or prize fights and yet the costs of these things now run as high as to transcend the sporting interest. You could produce the Giants and Yankee es on a sand lot with a low gate and perhaps not draw the ground rent. But when you set set them forth in a huge stadium and let it be known that hundreds of thousands of dollars are expected from the public, people wish to be present.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-29

But what we are about to point
 out is that the scientific game, game, hitherto not regarded as the most en- joyable kind of ball game, has be- come a good mixer. In the past both baseball and boxing of the scientific
 sort did not make of spectacle and
 people cared less for that than for the sock -and-fall style of merriment In scientific baseball, things happened to spur the pulse of the technicians and yet the occasional customer was left sitting there in apathy and fri gidity.

Casey Stengel's bat won two games for the Giants this fall. What will he do when they call on him in the great moment ofs world series game seven or eight Years hence?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-29

In this world series, especially in | the first game, the scientific sort of play was made showy and attractive One of the most scientific moves we ever saw was Heinie Groh's sudden switch as he ran with his back to a fly ball. He turned so as to get the ball over his left shoulder near third base and the whole crowd got the
 meaning of the motion when the
 shift left him in perfect position for throw to catch a runner on his way from first to second. There were quite few other plays by the Giants which were almost as marvellous as this masterpiece by ~Groh and the crowd for once at least seemed to appreciate their value.
 Science has always been regarded
 as an austers business for thinkers and, of course, that eliminated most of the public automatically The Giants this year were able to ex- pound science in a series of amazing Iillustra tions.
 In New York, at any rate, science can now afford to buy that car and move into an apartment having uni formed doorman. The public has taken it up in a serious way.

POINCARE INSISTS
STORY ISN'T true
Denies Germany Has Offered
Lump Settlement

Paris. April es. tBy Associated
ress)--Premier Poincare. speaking
in the town OF Void yesterday. assert
ed that the offer OF 10000. 900 900
marks which Baron Won Rosenberg,
Germany's foreign minister. recently
told the Reichstag was rejected by the
allies without hearing last January
was never made and was invented
for the OCCASION"
II such an amount Is now named,
the premier said It Is doubtless an at
tempt to please the German socialists
who suggested 1t.
Admitting "for the sake of argu-
ment that Baron Won Rosenberg told
the truth" NJ. Poincare asked what
would follow and thus answered his
own question:
THAT Germany. after formally ad-
hitting her indebtedness of $4,000
100000 marks in May 1921. and after
htAing obtained In return for this ad-
mission the concession that the Ruhr
should not be occupied declined in
January, 1928, to offer the allies less
than a quarter OF the sum promised
by her and fixed by the Rhine COM
mission
Premier Poincare also re-stated
charges that Germany had encourag-
ed military organization contrary to
the spirit of the treaty of Versailles.
The German foreign minister, M.
Poincare said is aware that soon after
his recent Reichstag address all the
allied governments consulted them
selves to find a means to overcome
this long resistance and with common
accord agreed to invite the German
governor to abolish the organization
of police in bodies of a military ma
ture to do away with military frame
work to end military instruction and
transform the police into proper
police body"
The premier also contrasted Frances
effort to pay the indemnity levied on
her after the Franco-Prussian war
with Germany's attitude toward rep
arations.
