Cr07Oing Hens With Spurs
Produced by Scientists
Operations Made on Baby
Chicks Cause Freak
Fowls.
BIZ Science Serpice


NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Crowing
hens adorned with cocks feathers
and spurs are occasional natural
nine days wonders in the farmyard.
Now they have been produced to
order by DR.. A. V. Domm Of the
University Of Chicago, who reported
on his surgical sex-reversal opera
tions before the American Society
of biologists here today.
Domm operated on ITS female
chicks during the first thirty days
after their Matching. in each case
removing the left ovary.
In fowls this is the only one that
normally functions, the right gland
degenerating and never producing
eggs.
The most striking result of the
operation was internal, as revealed
by microscopic examination of the
birds after they had been killed.
The right ovary, lest in place, de-
veloped into something very much
like male sex gland; in five out
of the IT'S operated fowls it even
contained mature male spermatozoa.
Externally practically all of the
hens took on the appearance and
behavior of males. They grew spurs
and rooster plumage, their combs
and wattles became like those of
the male, they crowed, coaXed their
sisters to come for imaginary bits
of food, and in general conducted
themselves like real lords of the
chicken-coop. Ultimately the trans
formed hens lost their male plum
age and resumed typical hen
feathers, but in all other respects
the changes were permanent. These
unsexed gallinaceous ladies re-
manned pseudo-males to the end.

HELD TOO SICK
TO See SISTER
Question of Successor to
Salvation Army Chief
VexeS Council.
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press STAFF Correspondent


LONDON. Dec. 29.-GeneraI
Bramwell Booth, leader of the Sal
walton Army throughout the world,
was in so serious condition today
that his physician decided he should
not be informed of the arrival in
England of his sister Commander
Evangeline Booth, leader of the
Army in the United States.
A meeting of the high council of
the Salvation Army has been sum-
moned for Jan. 8 at the army's
training college at Sunbury-on-
Thames. but General Booth has not
been informed of the fact by his
physician. 1t is considered unlikely
he will be able to see any of the
delegates before the meeting of the
council which may choose his sue
cessor.
Successor Is Problem
Miss Booth upon her arrival in
London Friday night refused to re-
ply to questions of whether she
would succeed her brother.
4|uA MS al 0OOl1A lCLEllb Ill
ness, there has been considerable
question of whether the council is
entitled to choose the successor to
the head of the army. since the gen.
erals power was handed down to
him by his father, William Booth,
founder of the organization.
Many consider that the founders
action in handing the leadership of
the organization personally to the
person whom he desired to succee6
him, established a precedent which
should be followed at the present
time.
Insists OH Rights
General Booth, despite protests
that he has assumed "autocratic"
powers, insists that it is his own
right to designate the person to head
the army
The general is understood to have
written the name of one Of his seven
children on a piece of paper and
placed it in sealed envelope to be
opened if he dies or is declared unfit
for Office and is deposed.

LAW BORN in
MIDDLE ACES,
HISTORIAN SAYS
Professor Pays Tribute to
Past at National
Meeting.

ut was the middle ages, who,
sitting in darkness, saw a great
light and struggling against evil
days and human weakness, never
lost their faith and handed on to us
their gift of law and the rule of
law"
Such was the tribute paid to that
period of European history some
times referred to as the dark ages"
by Professor Theodore F. T. Pluck
nett of Harvard University in adj
dressing the medieval history section
of the American Historical Associa-
ton here today.
His subject was 1.-THE Place of
Legal History in Medieval Studies"
and he criticized both lawyers and
historians for neglecting to study
deeply this side of medieval life.
Has q Lawless REP"
1.-The Anglo-American medievalist
has so far been content to ignore
legal history" Professor Plucknett
declared.
But this attitude can hardly last
much longer. Sincere and thought
full scholars are having their at
Atention irresistibly directed towards
legal problems.
THE medieval man has never
succeeded in Kidding himself of his
reputation for lawless behavior. 1t
is possible no doubt to over estimate
the amount of disorder that existed.
but the fact remains that violence
is a conspicuous element in almost
any medieval chronicle.
FeudaIism Compromise
Born amid the ruins of the Ro-
man peace, the early days of the
middle age witnessed the successive
failure of several attempts to re-
store some semblance Of authority.
"Feudalism was the compromise
finally reached and although it
made wide concessions to the mill
tary idea, in the end it accomplished
the difficult task of subiecting
armed force to the rule of law"
Professor Plucknett pointed out
that the conception of law based on
divine authority and having univer-
sal effect was fostered by the Chris
tan church and when the amoral
and Machiavellian state codes were
first put forward they were frowned
upon as anti-Christ.
He traced the medieval concepts
In the overthrow of Stuart state
craft in the framing of the Ameri-
can Constitution.
Gould anything be more medieval
than the idea of due process, or the
insertion of a contract clause in an
instrument. Of government" he
asked.
Ohioan Presides
Not under man. but under God
and law'-these momentous words
adorn the frieze of the new law
building of my university. They were
put there by men who know that
only constant effort will keep them
true.
This dogma means that all the
interests of nations and of classes.
public life and private life, are alike
subject to the one authority Of law.
which has one standard for all.
1T is challenge to injustice and
oppression and to all sorts of
privilege and we can not do better
than use the old medieval words
for it,"
Other speakers at the sectional
meeting were Professors Ephrain
Emerton, Harvard university; Miss
Louise R. LOOMS. Wells college, and
Alfred H. Sweet, Washington and
Jefferson college.
Professor Edgar H. McNeal of
Ohio university presided.
