SEX APPEAL is FOUND
IN PLANTS COLORING
Green Portions Found to Have
Hormones by Boston Uni
versity Scientist.

BOSTON. May Is (P.-There is a
real sex appeal in the color of rapidly
growing plants.
This portion of vegetation produces a
sex hormone, or something which acts
strikingly like a hormone. Experiments
with mice demonstrating this borrowed
hormone effect are reported to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science by DIR. Burnham Searle
Walker of Boston University School of
Medicine
Hormones are minute but exceedingly
potent secretions of ductless glands.
They do much to control health. sex,
growth and even to affect mental bal
ance.
DR.. Walker finds that roots, even
when young and growing rapidly. lack
the hormcne substance. So do fruits.
Only the green fermentation has eff
fective amounts Of the secretion.
Even these green portions lose their
sex appeal as soon as they pass the
phase of rapid growth.

Miss Helen Schisler, 20 years old, Of

Gregory was drowned, denied to a re-
porter from The Star today that she
had ever made a statement that there
was fight or an argument between
any persons on the boat prior to the
drowning.
"There wasn't any fight on the boat.
They keep quoting it and quoting it. I
don't know where they got it. I never
said it." Miss Schisler said, adding
There wasn't any argument of any
sort. There was no cause for any argu-
ment"
Miss Schisler said Gregory had gone
to the front of the boat and there was
no railing at the point from which he
had gone into the water.

public and have longed to see what lay
behind may now satisfy their desire and
wander about the beautiful place at will.

the pilgrims both this year and last are
