His arrest was preceded by q
thrilling automobile chase through
southeast Washington, on the
eastern side Of the Pennsylvania
Avenue bridge. Letterman's men
lay in ambush for him. Carter saw
the police before their plans

the Maryland line and sped away.

Police said three girls were in
the car with Carter. They were
released. Carter was charged with
violating section 1856 of the District

DRINK WATER IF
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Tablespoonful of
Salts If Back Pains or
Bladder Is Irritated.

Flush your kidneys by drinking
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken; then
you may suffer with dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here. Take a
tablespoonful in g. glass of water
before breakfast for few days, and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made frorl the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
iniure and makes q, delightful

SEX STILL MYSTERY
Riddle of What Determines

The riddle of what determines sex

The lecture was the third of a

The ultimate solution of the riddle

There are apparently two oppos-

HOOVER FACES
SENATE FIGHT
over MELLON
0utburSt Against Treasury
Chief May EmbarrasS
New President.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover may be called
upon to defend a cabinet appoint
ment in which hc had perhaps less
personal interest and more political
interest than airy other he made,
that of his secretary Of the treas
ury, Andrew Mellons
It highly is improbable. the in
direct attack on Mellon by the Nc
Kellar resolution which the senate
passed Tuesday will result in any
thing more than considerable pub
licity to criticism that has fared
forth, internationally, from certain
senators, but repeated outbursts
might prove very embarrassing to
President Hoover.
Move Is Significant
The resolution, sponsored by Sen
ator K. D. Mcclellan dem, Tenn
authorized an investigation by the
senate judiciary committee as to
whether Melons name should not
have been resubmitted to the senate
and as to whether the aged treasury
department head has violated a sec
ton Of the United States code for
bidding holding of stock In liquor
concerns by the secretary of the
q treasury.
The latter charge is one repeated
ly made by Mcclellan and as re-
peatedly denied by Mellon and his
friends.
It has particular significance as
regards the new administration be-
cause of the strong dry stand taken
by Hoover and his announced inten-
ton of transferring prohibition en-
forcement activities from the treas
ury to the justice department.
Watch Mexican Revolt
The Mellon incident shared the
spotlight on the new administration
today with the Mexican revolution,
which the President is watching
closely, and with a conference he
had scheduled with Representative
j. G. Tilson, floor leader of the
house, in which it is understood a
date for the special session of con-
gress will be set. Tilson recently
advocated April 10.
President Hoover, it generally was
understood, withheld the nomipa-
ton of Mellon from the senate in
order to avoid fight on his reap
pointment by Mcclellan and others
who have attacked the treasury sec
rotary.
