SEX control WITH
insects POSSIBLE
Has Been Found to Be Aid in
Protecting Apple Crops

Ann Arbor, Mich. Jan. - ~
An age-old quest Of men. how to
control sex in advance of birth, has
yielded one answer here: an answer
that points po&.ible way to save
apple trees from some insect dam
age. but does not apply to human
sex control.
The discovery was made by Prof.
A. F. Shull Of the University OF
Michigan. He has found out how.
more than a generation in advance,
to determine at will the sex of q
common species of aphid, or plant
louise.
He has learned that If a certain
kind of mother aphid has wings.
her children will be daughters.
while if she has no wings, her
progeny will be principally sons.
He discovered how to control the
production of wings.
Beside this simplified statement
lies an accomplishment in untang-
ling a maze more complicated than
any human life history. For aphids
lay eggs. but only occasional gener-
atoms OF aphid eggs need fertiliza-
ton by males. More commonly the
eggs 60 right along Matching with
out any sort of cooperation by male
parents. 1t was in one of these egg
differences that Professor Shull
found way to the solution Of
wings and sex control.
This control Is by means Of light
and temperature. Professor Shull
begins with til. grandmothers OF
the generation to be controlled.
The control works whenever a gen.
GRAFTON whose eggs require fertil-
ization comes along. Raising these
grandmothers In alternating light
and darkness and In moderate Or
low temperatures, Is pretty certain
to produce winged daughters and
from them female grandchildren.
Rearing the grandmothers In con-
tinuous light, or at a high tempera-
ture, practically assures male grand
children, il sexual forms occur in
that generation.
CduoCo LHc ScAudl 6ChSId-
lions, Professor Shull says, is not
thoroughly known.
Various strains Of aphids," he
says. respond differently to light
and temperature, and it is likely
that some do not respond at all.
There Is no reason to think that
any insects other than aphids be-
have in this manner.
THE chief human interest in the
discovery. SO far as it relates to
wing-production, lies in the possible
relief 1t may afford to pest-ridden
crop plants. Apple trees. for ex-
ample. are injured by certain wing
less aphids in the spring. but when
the winged forms appear the latter
fly away to live on weeds. The
sooner the winged females are pro-
duced, the better 1t Is for the Or
chardist, and artificial fastening of
wing production would be advan-
tageous.
80 far as sex determination Is
concerned, the control has no prac-
teal human application. Man has
no wings, and only one type Of re-
production, and his control Of his
own sex is as far beyond his reach
as 1t has always been"

HOUSE Of commons
Dining HALL Open
Mrs. Wilkinson Wins Fight to
Admit Women
Dear folks

Lodon, Jan. - R-Women have
invaded the strangers dining room,
traditional masculine stronghold in
the house of commons.
After four year battle waged by
Miss Ellen Wilkinson, NJ. p, the
kitchen committee has succumbed
to her fiery protests and hereafter
women may dine in the hitherto
privileged" precincts.
To celebrate her victory, and no
doubt to put the regulation into
practice before the committee could
change its mind. Miss wilkinson en-
tertained a party OF four women
journalists and Ramsay MacDon-
AIDS private secretary. Miss Rosen-
berg, at dinner on the very first
night the ban was lifted.
The menu was as revolutionary
as the "all women's" dinner was
unprecedented. 1t was vegetarian,
and non alcoholic. and was the first
of its kind served In the house. The
menu follos:s:
Vegetable consomme or
split pea soup
Poached egg Washington
Rizotto Milanaise (seasoned rice
with mushrooms)
Roast potatoes
souffle OF spinach
Fresh pears with ice cream
French cakes
Cider cup
The spinach soufrle was senti-
mental gesture to the memory OF
the late Sir James Agg-Gardner,
chairman Of the kitchen committee,
and Miss Wilkinson's sternest oppo-
nent in her efforts at breaking down
the precedent Of the strangers din
ing room. 1t was his favorite dish.
When Miss Wilkinson. wearing, a
charmingly feminine frock of black
velvet with an ornament OF bright
green. piloted her guests to a table
in the very center of the room. pre-
cisely at 8 o'clock. the men pres
ent looked commercially unrufflcd.
Two male members. Mr.. kirkwood
and Sir Harry Britain, went 20 far
as openly to stamp with their ap-
prevail the new order of things b,
bringing a woman guest to dine
with them.
The dramatic touch to the his
toric occasion was unexpectedly pro-
