KEY TO SEX CONTROLLOOMS
IN STUDY OF FROG EMBRYOS
Male and Female Factors Wage Battle for
Supremacy in Egg, Scientist Reveals
at New Orleans.

schis work explains why cold produces
female and heat makes males.
In low temperatures the outer COW
ering, the female side, called the cortex,
grows faster than the inner male por-
ton, named the medulla Soon the
cortex cells outnumber the medullas
and the females win.
The sex producing temperatures In
this case are SO degrees Fahrenheit for
making females and 81 degrees for
males.
Plant Sexes Studied.
DR.. C. E. Allen of the University of
Wisconsin, told of experiments with
moses and other small plants indicat-
ing that there are two factors determ-
Ing sex. One Is dominant, being prob
ably the chromosomes. while the other
Is some influence which at present can
not be defined more than to call 1t a
tendency toward either one sex or
the other.
This tendency" however, seems to
emanate from parts Of the plant that
formerly were not believed to have any,
thing to do with fixing sex.

Judge Gives Rules
For HappyWed edded
Life for New Year

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 1.-The
rules for 1882, as laid down by
Judge Joseph A. Graber in the
Court of Domestic Relat tions:
Don't try to remain sweethearts
after marriage. But try to be
friends.
"A married couple should not
try to remain sweethearts," he
said. Romance and ardor should
not be expected to continue
through a married life.
Husbands should have the
same loyalty for thsir wives as
for their friends. The wife should
be the best and truest friend and
companion of all, should overlook
her husbands faults and idiosyn-
crasies and try to please him at
all times. And, most of all, 1t
takes two to make quarrel"

BROADWAY JEERS

Traditional HiIarity and
Merrymaking Mark CeIe-
bration in New York.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 1.-Old 1881
was boced into the wings of time by
a Broadway crowd that fingered until
dawn today to celebrate the premiere
Of young 1882.
The Metropolis welcomed the New
Year in the traditional manner with
ros2, hilarity and general merry
making.
Tie crowd in Times Square, under
ttc glare Of the white lights, sent up
a mighty shout es the old years hour
We struck and there was a din of
tin horns, ccw bells and other noise
making devices.
Revellers fiocked to hotels, night
clubs and restaurants, where enter
tainment was made doubly attractive
by a general scaling down Of cover
charges.
Despite the multitudeS that jammed
dining rooms, lobbieS and the streets,
there were other thousands who turned
their backs upon frivolity to welcome
the new 12-month in watch services
in various churches.
A crowd at Broadway and Wall
Street heard the chimes of Old Trinity
ring out tie old and ring in the new.
Even Battery Park, at the lower tip
of Manhattan, had its merry makers,
while out in the harbor, tugs and ferry
boats tied down their whistle cords
to add to the noise.
Celebrants, who had made reServa-
tions at the Royal Box, one of the
most ornate of the midtown night
clubs, were obliged to seek entertain
ment elsewhere, for a squad of Fed
eral agents closed the place before
the New Year celebration began.
Although it appeared as though
Father Knickerbocker's whole family
was out and about, there were those of
New York's missions who remained
quietly at home, where the radio
brought the strains of music from
dance places, the chimes of Big Ben
in London and other New Year fea-
lures

Associated Press Science Editor.


NEW ORLEANS, January IA key
to control of sex in the discovery that
a battle between sexes starts in the
original egg is one new year present
to the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
This discovery was described by DR..
Emil Witschi of the University OF Iowa
at a symposium where the latest find
ings on how and why sex originates
were presented. 49,.
The battle begins the moment the
new life starts in the embryo, the outer
covering of which tries to become fe-
male, while the inner portion demands
to be male.
One or the other wins, and that first
battle settles whether that individual
shall be male or female. DR.. Witschi
showed its progress in photographs OF
frog embryos.
Changed by Environment
Usually, he explained. the cards are
stacked before even this beginning, so
that one or the other is doomed to a
futile struggle. The cards in this
game of life are the sex chromosomes
contributed from the parents of the
young animal.
But the stacking is not invariably
sufficient. Dr. WitschiS pictures re-
vealed that environment may come to
the aid of one or the other disputant
and decide the contest He photo
graphed extreme cases where environ
ment even overcame heredity and
changed sex already we'll defined.
He showed low temperatures chang
ing male frog into female and high
temperatures changing a female into a
male.
The fact that temperature will fix the
sex of certain small animals has been
known for some years, and used to pro-
duce sexes wanted at will DR.. Wit

National Organization Starts Functioning in Con.
 necticut- Veteran Legislation Especial Target Public Education Planned

Admiral Richard E. Byrd Is na- tional president of the league and A. B. Roosevelt is national secre- tary. Other officers are: Treasurer Graham B. Blaine; executive direc- tor, Charles M. Mills; chairman oi the finance committee, E. Rowland Hartman; advisory council, ex. President Calvin Coolidge, ex-Gov- ernor Alfred E. Smith, Elihu Root Newton D. Baker, General John J Sims.
 The first specific objective of the league is the elimination of the so. called legalized abuse whereby al least $450,000.000 per annum is now being paid by the national gov ernment for benefits to veterans who suffered no disability in or through war service. This expendi- ture. it is explained, is entirely dis tinct from the payments under the so-ca11ed adjusted compensation act also popu1arly known as the bonus It is explained by the league thai the elimination of this expendi. ture will in no way interfere with the national policy of just and lib. eral treatment of the dependents of those who lost their lives ir the service of their country and o1 the living veterans who were ir fact incapacitated as 8 result o1 war service. Such a policy is sup. ported by the league.
 According to the league, the present veterans relief system has insidiously grown up by legislative enactment so gradually as not tc be realized by the people at large and not so much because of the demands of the veterans them. selves as under the influence of politicians willing to sacrifice the general public interest for selfish ends,
 The league further states that recognizing the extent and deeply entrenched character of the abuses under this system, it will b the or ganization's function to place the detailed facts before the public confident of their determination to end these abuses once the facts are understood.
