Burning the Yule Log,
Old Christmas Custom

TN MANY an old British mansion
L it was customary to light tall
candles on Christmas eve, and then
a huge log was rolled onto the
hearth, called the Yulelog. This log
was so large that it required the
strength of several men to roll 1t
into place. The log was cut from
a tree felled at midnight; and was
TO be placed on the hearth during
midnight mass on Christmas eve,
and was to be lighted by the head
of the family. A piece of this burn
ing wood was to be laid aside to
light the next years log with, while
at the same time, 1t would protect
the household during the coming
year. In some sections of ca
many a piece of this charred wood
was placed under the bed to avert
the much-dreaded lightning stroke.
The burning of the Yulelog in each
homestead seems to have been a
survival of the alteration once of-
fered to the sun at the winter SOL
stice.

small animals, has been confined
to converting females into males.
Males Still Dominant
Even in the Rochester expert
ments the male dominance re-
mains. 1t seems to be much easier
to change female into a male
than to proceed in the opposite
direction.
At the start one of these twins
was a female, the other a male.
Seemingly a struggle for ascend
ancy ensued between the sexes. In
% instances the male partner sue
ceeded in modifying the female,
either causing her to turn into a
male or to start to do so, while in
four pairs the female gained def
mite ascendancy and changed the
male. E
One case exhibited an even bal
ance, with no definite domination.
In this tie there was evidence OF
possible conflict, for neither party
developed altogether well.

dozen new shades, and artificial,
glue-tipped long sweeping eye
lashes are the latest makeup notes.
Watchful cosmeticians saw early
in the season that the lipsticks
many women had been wearing
as their shades" quarreled with
the new fall reds and wines. The
outcome was the recommendation
that the lip rouge be determined
by the color of the dress or acces-
series and a half dozen lipsticks
are required on a job formerly
done by one.
For the new wine tones a deep
raspberry lip coloring is advised.
Flame red in the dress or Access
series is matched exactly by
flame red lipsticks. This shade
also goes with green and woodsy
browns, white and black. For
pastel evening shades an almost
pastel red lipstick is the recon-
mendation.
Eye makeup also calls for a
range of eye shades and mascaras.

MALE SALAMANDERS
CHANGED In SEX BY

for young maze salamanders have
been caused to assume gradually
the structure of females, at the
University of Rochester school of
medicine and dentistry.
The sex changes were made by
artificial Siamese twinning, an OPP
Grafton joining two salamaders
still in the embryonic stage. The
method is called parabiosis. The
work was done by Robert K.
Burns, Jr., of the anatomy labora-
tory.
The change to female is some

The experiments suggest a chem
ical influence in the development
of sex. This chemical factor is
thought to be the hormones pro-
duced by the sex glands. These
glands, like the other endocine
glands, produce hormones having
direct effects upon bodily develop
ment.
Some hormones have been identi-
fled as complex chemical COM
pounds, and some have been pro-
duced synthetically.
The hormones appear to operate
very early in embryonic life, and
DR.. Burns thinks their work may
begin even before there is visible
differentiation of sex.
i Other experiments show that sex
glands transplanted into the body
OF an animal of opposite sex, are
also partly changed to agree with
the sex of the host animal.

 Burgess Sheridan at this point asked Officer Farrar if he had noti- fled the officer on the desk that he was leaving town. He replied that he did. Officer Farrar had not been called as a witness and had.not been sworn. His counsel informed the board that if they so desired he would swear in the officer and ask him questions, but he stated he did not think it necessary to elaborate any more on the case, it has been elaborated more on the outside al- ready than 1t has been here at the hearing. Who has suffered for it, your own officer on charges brought in here by a girl whom most of us do not know nor have ever seen. This statement drawn up by typist, sighed by her and then she to leave the borough, it would seem would indicate that this young lady would think enough of this serious mat ter to notify the chief. He did not think the evidence warranted any charges against the officer on this count, as he considered the state- ment of the girl not worth the pa- per it was written upon either legal ly or otherwise. On the other charge perhaps the officer might be criticized for leaving the borough
 without permission of the depart ment head.
 Chier Adamson has been just and fair in the matter. His statement I will take, but didn't officer Farrar bring a statement from Dr Williams, la recognized practicing physician to the effect that he should have a four weeks rest. If he wanted to leave the borough he could have done so immediately. but he did not leave until several days later. Admitting that he left without first notifying the chief, we must consider that he Is a young officer, ten months on the force and Inexperienced perhaps in the details of the police rules and

 believed that the board should dis
 regard it entirely and asked them
 to consider only the charge that was
 undisputed that the officer left the
 borough. He suggested that the
 that his wages for the time he was
 under suspension be paid and that
 he immediately be returned to duty.
 Attorney Caine explained to the
 board that If the motion of Judge Gormley was considered by the board 1t would mean that Officer Farrar
 would not have to testify. This can- not be held against the officer for he
 has that right. He informed the
 board members that as counsel for the borough he wished to call the board mem DerS attention to the Iact

 We are all appointed or elected to render our judgment and opinion for

 stated that he would perform his
 duties as man should to the pulp lie and also that he would abide by the rules and regulations of the de- partmnet. The evidence that he left the borough Is undisputed. Every

 Caine then launched into the charges
 contained in the statement of the young lady believing that the public expected an officer of the law to be a

 matter should be dropped, and that

 tatned as the one of absenting him. self from the borough without con- sent. Burgess Krodel and Zwick also raised their voices in protest.
