Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association. and of Hygeia,
 the Health Mazazjnc

the Health MaZaZlnc Hundred of books are available Iinnumerable ar clcs have been writ ten to prove that their authors have discovered the secret of the deter limitation of tn sex of an unborn child.
 Among the peculiar unproven theories which have been advanced are the views that the matter is gov erned In some manner by the diet; that the amount of sunlight received by the mother has something to do with 1t; that the age of the parents is the determining factors; that the eating of an unusual amount of sug- ar will incline toward maleness; that the side on which the mother rests has some definite influence. usually the right side for boys and the left for girls.
 AS has been stated. practically everyone of these theories has been disproved by the assembling of a sufficient number of statistics to es- tablish the falsity of the view.
 A. S. Parks of Manchester, Eng land, studied the records of 5000 births in hospital in that city. These figures showed that if the mother Is young, the chances are greater that the baby will be boy. and when the mother was over forty, the proba- bility was that the child would be a girl.
 However, the proportions were so insignificant that even fanatical race track enthusiasts would not place a wager upon them. The odds for mothers around twenty years of age would be 1.2 to for a boy, and for mothers around forty years of age .o.9 to 1 for a boy
 The best available scientific evil .dence indicates that heredity is the most important factor in determin- ing the sex of the child.
 The female apparently exercises little influence ho matter. The male forms germ cells of two kinds, in one of which male clements pre- dominate and in the other female elements. Apparently the parents can do nothing in influencing the sex of their progeny. The matter is all determined for them in advance.

less. l knew that she was enjoying my embarrassment with delicate, goodhumored malice.
 The Plot
 "Mary's sixteen" she said, after a pause. and l thanked my partic- ular little joss that she had switch ed her subject of conversation. and at that age novelty is the greatest attraction in the world. But she mustn't be given a chance to antici- pate his coming and thus set her prejudices against him. We must take her by surprise. But how? That's the question"
 She cupped her chin in her palms with her elbows on her knees, in the old familiar attitude. But she only remained in that position for the fraction of a minute. Then she sprang to her feet.
 T have it!' she said. "I'll invite you and Dicky and Mary over some evening, after I have made sure tiltiI -NoCI NNillACli NtH AOilIC lo iiiS on that evening. We'll say nothing to Mary about it, so when she ar rives there will be nothing for her to do but be courteous. I'll trust Noel to keep up his end when he catches sight of her. She is the loveliest thing"
 But, Lillian, how" l began, then relapsed into shocked silence as I realized that. carried away by my concern for Mary, I almost had ask ed her how she could manage to en- tertain us at dinner in her limited quarters at the second-rate hotel in which she was living.
