history of men and that am en-
deavoring to view this thing in the
light of cold scientific detachment.
When I say that the loss of life is not
the worst phase of modern war, am
not unmindful of all the suffering and
heartachess such losses entail. But, as
scientist, know that the losses can
be made up, and that they generally
in the past were made up with amaz-
ing rapidity.
"ONE of the most distressing results
of war is prolonged under
nourishment of children. Yet our
studies show that, if not carried too
far, such malnutrition can be REM
edied without permanent deleterious
after-effects. In so far as the high
mortality among older people is con-
cerned, that is of no lasting impor-
tance. And I say that as one whose
white hairs bespeak the effects of time
The higher death rate among the
graybeards simply gives youth its op-
portunities earlier and more fire.
quently.
"The loss of limb also is not so
fearful as many seem to believe. Ger
tainly in these days it is no insuperable
obstacle. and many men actually are
found to be in better health as re-
suit of the loss of a limb, because the
demand upon the heart is substantially
reduced.
THE real calamities of modern war,
and toward the limitation of which all
possible endeavor should be directed,
are the destruction Of sight and hear
ing, the corrosion of the lungs, the
shattering shocks to the nervous sys-
tenn and the deep neurasthenias that
are engendered through overpowering
strains These dreaded by-products of
modern warfare outlast it greatly,
cause vast misery and may affect even
the progeny Of the afflicted and thus
be multiplied further.
Gould these aspects of modern war
be eliminated, could not say that
the effects Of war would be invariably
or all harmful"
with these qualifications" the
noted scientist continued, war has
often been of advantage from the
standpoint of the progress Of mankind
as . whole. Let me reiterate again

must be jobs or pensions for all
World War veterans. The position
is taken that Congress must take

if industry is unable to give them
employment. Moreover, Deepen

Several Possible Choices

ny the Associated Press.

BY the Associateu fresS
There Is some speculation In the
Capital as to whether President Roose.
welt might appoint q woman to the
Supreme Court If Congress permits
him to reorganize the high tribunal
The President has given no indica-
ton of his intentions, one way or the
other.
Advocates assert, however, there
would be no constitutional barrier to
such an appointment.
The President already has drawn on
womens ranks for judicial appoint
ments to a greater extent than any
other Chief Executive.
He named Florence Ellinwood Allen
TO the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals in the sixth district, the high
est court place ever given woman in
this country. He also appointed Ellen
K. Raedy municipal judge and Fay L.
Bentley juvenile judge for the District
Of Columbia.
Judge Allen a Peace Crusader.
Judge Aliens name usually Is the
first mentioned in discussions Of pos
sible selections. She is 50 and unmar-
ried, now living at Columbus, Ohio.
She was widely known in women s
suffrage and peace groups as speaker,
prior to becoming the first feminine
Federal Judge.
Her judicial experience has covered
varied fields. She served in a local
court at Cleveland before her appoint
ment to the Ohio Supreme Court in
1922.
Another leader among women who
have had experience on the bench is
Judge Genevieve r. Cline of the
United States Customs Court in New
York. Also an Ohioan, she was
appointed appraiser Of merchandise at
Cleveland by President Harding In
1922. President Coolidge appointed
her to her present place in 1928.
One lawyer here has estimated there
are less than so women in judicial jobs
throughout the country.
Women's Groups Silent.
No national women's group has petit
toned as yet for the appointment OF
O woman to the supreme bench.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has just begun, however, a poll
of its more than 100000 members to
determine their sentiment on the
Presidents proposed reorganization oi
the Supreme Court. No reference was
made by the federation to the sex o.
possible appointees.

SEX CONTROL.
COMING sure,
SAYS DOCTOR
Boy or Girl, Which2 New
Steps Reported to
Have Been Taken

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. %. = New
steps in the art of prenatal sex de-
termination have been discussed at
the California Institute of Technolo-
gy here, by two of the worlds fore
most authorities on biological sci
ence, and out of the conference may
come a method of human sex con-
troll.
Conferees are DR.. Thomas Hunt
Morgan, Nobel Prize winner, and
DR.. Richard B. Goldschmidt of the
University of California.
DR.. Goldschmidt stated he had
determined that one hormone-like
substance controls the Getermina-
ton of sex. He discovered that the
sex-determining substance can be
detected in the blood stream Of the
prospective mother in sufficient
concentration to predict in advance
the sex of the baby.
Three years ago Dr. Goldschmidt
predicted that the time would come
when the sex of unborn children
could not only be determined, but
could actually be controlled in adj
vance. This he intimated, could be
effected by injecting the substance
governing the sex required into the
glood of prospective parents.
