Now. recent experiments made
at the University Of Chicago, In
the laboratory of Professor F. Il.
Lille. seem to have proved that,
by removal at an early age nrom
six weeks to six months) OF GER
tain glands that govern the pr1-
mary sex characters, hens may
be so far transformed as to De.
have henceforth in the manner
of ROSTERS, and, more than that,
to grow spurs, male plumage'
and combs resembling those
characteristic of the cocks. Many
Of them also crow regularly.
A report on the subject py
L. v. Domm says that "other
birds in the pen regard them as
males, and when strange COCK
is introduced they fight as would
other cocks, very frequently as
Stunning the initiative, and some
of them have been observed to
come off victorious in such
combat"
All this is curious and very In
teresting, but, Of course, it is Tar
from suggesting a change from
one sex to the other, since Il
merely affects the secondary
character, and does that only by
the destruction of the funda-
mental unit that produces the
primary, and real, distinction be-
tween the sexes.
1t might not be safe to use It
as an argument to show that
science confirms the Bible &C
count Of the secondary creation
Of Eve from Adams rib, because
it has not yet been shown
whether a similar operation
would not cause a rooster to be-
come an imitation hen. There are
reasons for thinking it would.

WVEIE great majority OF ann
mails are divided into two
senarate sexes. But the sexes are
distinguished by two sorIs U
characters-primary characters
and aecondary characters. The
urinary characters are those
which are essential to reproduc-
tion: the secondary characters
are neculiarities of appearance,
ornament, conduct, etc., some OF
which are confined to the mem
hers OF one sex, while others are
fvnicaI of the members Of the
opposite sex.
Thus. in the human family,
women are distinguishable from
men not only by the primary sex
characters but also by smaller
homes. more delicate features and
conpiexions, finer and smoother
texture of skin, softer and round
err outlines, longer and generally
finer hair without facial hirsute-
ness: less muscularity, inferior
strength, ETC.; in sum, by a fusion
of physical characters whose
general effect is more easily felt
than defined. These react upon
the inner nature so that the con-
duct and bearing of a woman,
and her outlook upon the world,
are strikingly different from
those of a man. All these are
secondary characteristics Of sex.
In a broad way it may be said
that throughout the higher ami
NAL realm maleness and female
ness of appearance, bearing and
conduct are contrasted and plain
ly discernible, as the result of
secondary sex characters. 1t
is to be seen among dogs, horses
and all familiar animals in vary
ing degree.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT
LATIN AMERICA

Pacific Ocean. a little west Of
Valparaiso, Chile.
Valparaiso, Chile, several hun
dred miles farther south than
Rio, is closer to New York than
Rio.
Brazil is considerably larger
than the United States.
Chile's Pacific coast line is as
long as that OF the United States
and Mexico combined.
The Pacific Ocean is south Of
Central America, not west.
The combined areas Of the Cen
trail American countries is equal
to those of New York, Ohio, Ala
bama. West Virginia, and New
Jersey. The undevelopment Of
Central America is shown by the
fact that 1t only has about 1000
miles of railway, while the five
States with an equal AREA have
more that $4,000 miles of rail-
way. Moreover, Central America
cannot show 1000 miles of good
roads, whereas New York State
alone has more that $4,000 miles.

NOTED CLIMBER OF MOUNTAINS
 VISITS kATMAl
FAMOUS LADY, WITH HUSBAND AND FRIENDS TO MAKE TRIP TO VALLEY OF TEN THOUSAND SMOKES.

On their way to uhe 'Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" MT. and Mrs. c. w. Handy. of West Hartford, Vt, Miss F. Taylor and Samuel Taylor of Chicago, arrived in Seward Sun- day on the steamer Yukon and, while awaiting the arrival of moving picture camera, are making weeks camping trip in the mountains adja- cent Seward. Upon leaving Seward for the Westward the party will go to Anchorage, thence down the Inlet in a small boat to Katmai harbor and then inland to the valley. The trip in and out is expected to take at least three weeks.
 Mrs. Handy, formerly Miss Dora Keene of Philadelphia, has made six trips to Alaska and is widely known not only in the Territory but thru out the United States, as one of it's foremost mountain climbers. The Alps and the Andes have been seal ed by Mrs. Handy but it was her Alaska exploit in 1912, when she climbed Mt Blackburn, in the Cop per River district, that she gained fame turnout the land. Statistics reveal that Mrs. Handy is the only person in the world who has climb ed this peak, which rears it's head 16,140 feet. Thirty-three days were required to reach the crest, Mrs. Handy stated and 13 of these days were spent, lost in a raging snow storm.
 As tourist, Mrs. Handy first came to Alaska in 1898, arriving in Skag- way when that town was but two days old, and boasted of a popula- tion of 1000 inhabitants. MT. Sexton proprietor of the Sexton hotel, has accompanied Mrs. Handy on trips about this district Of her, MT. Sex ton remarked yesterday, T used to be a pretty good mountain climber myself in earlier days but l never saw anyone who could equal Mrs. Handy" It was in 1911 that Mrs. Handy visited in Seward and while spending two weeks in the Kenai district, read an account in a geolo- gical publication, of Mount Black burn. She determined them she would have to climb the mountain and at once began planning the ven ture. A preliminary trip was made to the base of the mountain and the following year, in May 1912, ascend ed the mountain to it's topmost peak.
 MT Handy is an oldtimer in the Territory, having resided in Alaska for twelve years. He is a mining operator and has extensive interests in the Territory.

 Yesterday, a possible star in the Armament made himself known to the committee casting his entree for the event. Yakima Jacks" is the pseudonym he filed under, and from the first impression gained by those who looked him over, Champ Alec Bolam will have his work cut out for him.

DESIRE CORRECTION

Editor Askov American:
At the last meeting of Jens H.
Jensen Post, American Legion,
held April 9Th, the following COM
munication was presented by a
member, read up, and | was di-
rected, by unanimous agreement
of all members present, to pre-
sent a copy to you:
Perhaps the most empty
word in the American language is
the word Honor. Any Ex-serv-
ice man will testify to the fact
that it is an empty phrase, at
least in America today. How
ever, as Roosevelt remarked:
The man, or group of men, that
allow themselves to be imposed
upon are fools indeed. There
fore, on behalf of the American
Legion Post Of Askov, kindly al
low the following correction:
''The Chautauqua or Home
Talent Week as it was called,
was put on under the auspices of
the local Post last year, after the
business men of the town had
failed to agree and had decided
that a success could not be made
of the idea. Likewise, imme-
diately after the entertainments
of last season the LEGION
members met and decided to put
on a bigger and better attraction
this year. Tentative plans were
discussed at that time.
THE members of the local Post
of the American Legion are GER
tainly all very grateful to Mr..
V. S. Petersen for acting as chair
man of the committee in charge
last year, and for the great
amount of work he did, and also
for the work he has accomplished
this year; however, MR.. PETER
SEN DID NOT PUT ON THE
TALENT WEEK LAST
YEAR, NOR is MR.. PETERSEN

SEVERAL BUILDINGS TO
GO UP IN SANDSTONE

From present indications Sand
stone will rise from the ashes"
this spring and summer. A num-
Der of business buildings were
burned the past winter which
will be replaced with more mod
ern structures. The Courier re-
ports as follows:
Everything now indicates that
Sandstone is to have real building
boom this spring as several new and
up-to-date business places are al
ready assured and others are being
contemplated. Among those that are
now practically certain are as fol-
lows: A large double store by C. ].
Pearson on Fourth street to take the
place of the clothing store and meat
market which were destroyed by fire
few weeks ago. Mrs. A. c. Win
gerberg announces that they will be-
gin soon on the erection of a new
store building ON Main avenue, be-
tween the post office and the Deming
hardware store. A part of the bowl
ing alley will be torn down and the
remainder used as a warehouse This
will also take the place of their store
which was burned. J. F. Hawley has
completed plans for a fine new gar
age which he intends to erect between

could be talks, singing, etc., of an
informal nature and if some of the
young folks home from universities
and colleges, and others had the time
and inclination to present a short
playlet or two, all well and good.
If there is considerable desire for
Chautauqua this summer, however,
then the writer who has never claim
ed to be lazy will dive into the work
with the band and orchestra, provided
the members are favorable, and help
put over that part of the program.

his store and the Deming hardware.
This will be heated and a thoroughly
modern and commodious garage.
All of these will be of brick, cement
or other fire-proof material and each
one will be a credit to the village.
These and the Hanson sash and door
factory and the opera house, erected
late last fall, will considerably i'm
prove the fire hazard in the village
and aid in reducing the rate of in
surance. This also clearly indicates
that Sandstone is keeping abreast
with other live-wire towns.

The path is open 10 France to send
its debt-funding commission to Wash

officials
This arrangement of the Treasury s
debt program, designed to place pres
ent negotiations on a schedule basis
has been communicated to Ambassa
dor Daeschner of France, who had
asked when the French mission could
be received. The ambassador, who
talked with Acting Secretary Win.
ston,. as secretary of the American
Debt Commission, did not intimate
when the Paris delegation might he
expected. Recent reports from France
however, said the experts likely would
depart early in September
The Treasury's schedule made no
mention of the time for resuming con.
ferences with the Italian debt com.
missioners and that fact brought out
suggestions that the negotiations
might be delayed longer than was sup.
posed when they were suspended re.

data. It was the opinion of some at
the Treasury, however. that there
would be time for resuming the con
