Difference Between Sexes
Fixed at Eight Atoms

NEW YORK, May IS d.N.sJ.
Eight atoms of hydrogen, the
simplest known element, repre-
sent the exact difference between
masculinity and femininity in the
human race, according to an an
notation in the current Lancet,
British medical publication.
BY adding these atoms to the
molecule of the female sex
hormone "a chemical substance
poured into the blood by the
glands, the male sex glands
promote the development of
broad shoulders and narrow hips
in the male as opposed to the
narrow shoulder and broad hips
o. the female.
Other Changes Wrought
Other secondary physical and
primary mental changes are
wrought by the addition of these
few simple atoms to the female
hormone molecule.

BARTER PLANS
NUMBER ZOO

CLEVELAND G.N.S0.-With
barter and exchange systems
rapidly gaining a foot h Id
throughout the nation, plans are
crystalizing here for the estab-
lishment of a national barter
bureau to centralize the work of
the local groups.
More than 200 barter systems
are now operating in the country,
according to Mrs. Ethel Standi-
ford -Mehling, Cleveland photo
grapher, one of the pioneers in
the idea to reestabliSh the an
cient form of exchange to aid
the needy during the economic
stress.
Negotiations for the national
bureau were started with the
idea to shift whatever surpluses
in products that might exist
to the regions where there is
need. Thus, an area where
there is a surplus of grain
might exchange the grain for
lumber in section where there
is an over-abundance of lumber.
A leader in the local barter
system, Mrs. Standiford -Mehling
also is paving the way for the
organization of the national hook
up of the local groups.

BETTER PRICES
ONLY AIM Of
i. FARM BILL

The sole aim of the emergency
farm relief act is to raise farm
prices, George N. Peek, admins
TRAITOR Of the agricultural adjust
ment act, said today in assuming
responsibility for the adminiStra
ton Of the gigantic measure. He
added:
This is just what farmers
through their organizations
have been demanding for a
dozen years.
SHUNS INTERFERENCE
"TO the food and textile in
dustrieS, 1 want to make 1t
clear that the spirit and pur-
pose will be to act with as
little interference with eStab-
hShed institutions and methods
indeed with as little admins
tratiOn Of any kind as is con-
Gstent with the fixed purpose
Of the law.
"It is my opinion that much
Of that purpose can be accom-
pliShed by these industries
without anything more than
the aid that Government and
agriculture can and will give
them.
"The first step will be to dis
cuSs with industries and trades
our purposes, to ask them what
they need from farmers and
from Government, and to call
upon them, with the help of
tnOse concerned, to work out
the difficult task themselves
IN such manner as will least
interfere with their business
ana established methods, with
as little Government inter
ference in their affairs as is
reasonably possible.
Justice is Object
ITO the consuming public it
IS unnecessary to say that what
is TO be done is to bring about
economic justice-tO right a
social wrOng-which grew up
under our economic system in
the false theory that the urban
half of our population could
enjoy the benefits of an arti-
ficial, protective system, leay-
ing the rural half largely out
side the benefits of that par
ticular device.
1T seemed to work all right
At first, but lately it has re-
suited in taking the farmers
crop away from him without
paying for it. Nobody wants to
do that.
agricultural prices are and
for a long time have been un-
duly depressed and ruinOusly
below their fair relation to
other prices. Putting them
where they belong has the sup
port of all fair minded people
and will not be a heavy bur-
den on any person or class in
our country"

Three German physicians, Drs.
w. Schoeller, E. Schwenk and F.
Hildebrandt, made the discovery
while working at experiments to
reduce the female sex hormone
to pure" crystal form.
They tried hydrogenation Of fe-
male hormone extracts. Tests Of
the substance to which hydrogen
atoms had been added were made
on capons, standard test creatures.
Radical Changes Noted
Instead of promoting feminine
characteristics, the hydrogen
treated hormone produced a re-
turn to male characteristics, caus-
ing a marked sharp increase in
comb growth and plumage
changes.
Careful examination of the sub
stance showed that the chemical
treatment of the female sex hor-
none had added eight hydrogen
atoms to the molecule.

ranches-Way out in the great
wide open spaces where men are
men and the girls like their cow
punchers all diked out in chaps,
Sombrero and high-heeled boots
are looking for brisk business
this summer.
They're laying great plans to
welcome an increasing army of
tired fasteners and mid-western-
ers who dwell most Of the year
amid the rumble of street cars,
elevateds, subways, and automo-
biles, and who feel the call of
the wild.
The railroads, working closely
with selected ranches" are al
ready preparing their multi
colored booklets, instructing their
travel agents and setting up their
special fare schedules. For dude
ranching has become so popular
that they are looking for more
business than ever this summer.

BILL To PERMIT
CITIES To co
BANKRUPT

A new corporation bankruptcy
reform bill, which may include
unprecedented authority for par
tial bankruptcy by municipalities,
will be framed this week for pres
entation to Congress.
The corporation bankruptcy
measure is designed to pave the
way for an agreement on debts
by corporations and creditors, so
that thousands of firms which
have suffered because Of business
conditions can weather the storm.
This authority was contained
in the bankruptcy bill passed by
the House last session, but the
Senate eliminated corporations.
AS the bill finally passed, it ap-
piled only to railroads and to
individuals.
Provision Of Measure
Under the terms of the meas
ure being pushed by Representa-
tive McKeown Cd OF Okla
homa, a reorganization of a cor
poration could be effected
through the Federal courts on
agreement of two-thirds or three
fourths of the creditors.
The committee planned to con-
slider the bill of Representative
Wilcox CD of Florida, allowing
all public bodies to take advan-
tage of the bankruptcy reform
plan, as a part of the corpora
ton measure.
With 1,1O5 cities or public sub
divisions in the nation in default
on bonds at the end Of February,
and bankruptcy for 1,500 pre-
dicted by June, members Of the
Judiciary Committee feel Congress
must take action.
Under this bill three-fourthS OF
the creditors could bind all OF
them to scale down the amount
and interest on bonds issued by
cities and other bodies during
prosperous times.
Lower Interest One Aim
Wilcox said cases have been
found where SO per cent of the
creditors of a city or other taxing
district agreed to lower the in
terest rate and readjust the prin'
cipal, and 2 per cent objected.
The Wilcox bill has been as
sailed on the ground that it would
destroy the credit of cities and
make it difficult for them to bor-
row in the future.
Thus far the Administration has
declined to take a stand on this
| legislation.

The police again exposed themselves
as agents of the bosses by Withdraw
ing permit for parade of the strik-
crs which was originally granted. But
the strike is growing stronger each
day. Picketing of all shops is being de-
Veloped, and already the Unemployed

With the proposal to raise the wages
providing the union would agree to

bers rejected this proposal which
would increase the cost of living for
the other workers.
The strikers likewise rejected the
boss request for a sample agreement.

terence of the union representatives
with the employers.
Inc union demands a regular work
ing day to begin at 8 a. m. and end
at p. m. on week days and 8 am.

demand is for a wage increase which
would give the workers 60 per cent
OF the proceeds on week DAYS and
70 per cent on Saturdays, and a guar
antee Of $40 a week.
AT the present time the workers
are compelled to slave II ard 10
hours o day, with many workers re-
porting at the strike meeting wages
OF $3.50 a week and some as low as
$3.50.
Effective efforts are reported as be-

SLAVE LABOR IN
MARIfIE EMPLOY
Seamen Demand Full
Wages, No WorkaWays

NEW YORK.-The SIS. Carriage
after being laid up out of commits
sion for a long time, was taken out
of the "boneyard" and fitted out for
a trip 10 the west coast to be oper-
ated there by the States SIS. Com
pany on the Far East run
Usually when a ship is taken out
of the laid-up fleet it is first taken
to ship yard and dry dock to be
put in condition Tor service again. In
the case Of the Carriage" however.
the company conceived a plan to put
the ship in condition without cost to
the company. The INN, acting as
agents for the States SIS. Company,
shipped a skeleton crew aboard the
ship and then hired fourteen work
sways' to make the trip to the West
Coast for their board.
As soon as the free labor was sec
ured the company announced a SIS
wage cut and started hiring more
"workaways." The purpose Of this
was to do all the necessary work of
putting the ship in condition with
out having to hire shore labor to
do II In a dry dock and without
having to carry full size paid crew.
As soon as information OF this was
secured, the Marine Workers Indus
trial Union held a series of short dis
cussions with seamen in the shipping
offices, Institute, Y.MCA., missions,
and other places. Delegates of the
Union we're sent aboard the ship and
a leafiet of demands was issued.
Passed Armed Guards
Despite armed guards at the gang
way Of the ship, the delegates got
aboard with the leaflets and held
meeting calling upon the crew to
take action against the practice of
shipping workaways.
A committee of unemployed sea-
men made the same demands upon
the INN. officials and the INN.
officials frightened at the solidarity
of the employed and unemployed
sent several OF their executives to
assure the committee that the I'M.
M. was not responsible.
Aboard the ship the crew began
taking action against the workaways
with the result that most of the
workaways on deck were put ashore.
The result was that the ship sailed
with only three worksways instead
Of tho IA to 20 they intended TO hire.
