BOTH IN MUTT

According to a report made to
police officials, Ward, CARRIED in
civilian clothes, had entered the
lunchroom when the fight started
out front.
In attempting to halt the brawl,
Ward was severely beaten by the
two men who then fled down the
street. Ward pursued them and
fired twice in the air.
Millman, also in civilian clothes,
and his wife, Lillian, were ap-
preaching the lunchroom en- route
to their home in the 2400 block
of L'Enfant Pl. S. E., as the men
fled down the street. Picking out
the one he thought to be the
aggreSSor, Millman tripped him
and then grappled with him on
the sidewalk.
Ward ran up to the two strug-
Cling men and during the melee
his gun was accidentally dis
charged, the slug striking Millman
in the stomach.
I'm a policeman. Ward cried.
so am 1 and you have shot
me-" Millman replied. Until then
neither knew the other was an
officer.
40 BLOOD DONORS
Ward and Mrs. Millman took
the injured officer to the hospital
where a call for blood donors was
broadcast.
More than 40 policemen an
swered the call and 10 were found
to have the proper type of blood.
In addition to the officers, a staff
physician at the hospital volun-
teered as donor. The TRANSMISSION
was found to be unnecessary at
the time.

CIRCUIT
DARKENS CITY,
SNAGS TRAFFIC
Army Officer Injured in
Auto Accident

Downtown traffic was thrown
into the worst confusion in years
during the rush hour yesterday
evening when a short circuit in a
trunk cable of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, near Twelfth
and E Streets Northwest, threw all
traffic lights in the city out of
order.
Adding to the utter confusion,
which started at Sis o'clock just
as thousands of Government work
erS and Christmas shoppers were
starting homeward, was a series of
explosions along E Street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets.
In many places manhole covers
were blown several feet into the
air. 1t was not until after 9 p. m.
that the traffic lights again were
working.
HAMPERED BY GAS
Although every available police
man and electric company worker
labored furiouSly to extinguiSh the
manhole fires, they were greatly
hampered by the gases that
formed from burning insulation.
During the confusion many
minor accidents were reported due
to the snarled traffic condition.
Mrs. Alice Poeppen. 35, of Airing
ton, Va, was struck by an auto
mobile at Fifteenth and K Streets
Northwest and taken to Emergen-
cy Hospital with an injured leg.
A Pepco service man was injured
at Twelfth and E Streets North
west, where he was working. He
had to be lifted from a manhole
where he had been Waist-deep in
water.
OTHER ACCIDENTS
Other accidents reported this
morning included one in which
Col. Royden E. Beebe, so, of the
1000 block of Cathedral Ave. N.
W., was injured when his car
collided with a street car. He was
treated at the Army DispenSary
for head injuries and later re-
leased.
Early today James Clark, IS, of
the 200 block of E st. N. w., suf-
fered sever decorations of the
face and neck when the car in
which he was passenger collided
with a truck at Fourth st. and

commercial concern approved as

Health laboratory in Southern
New Jersey, where the scientists
had no preconceived opinion on
the sex predetermination expert

After Thomas Durfee (head Of
the laboratories, began his inges-

one that failed-on the rats, it
was learned that Dr.. Fred E.
D'Amour, endocrinologist at the
University of Denver. had. during
the summer of 1888, conducted the
same experiment with negative
results.
During the fall of 1884 and the
winter of 1885 he tested a modifi-

part of medical students and ex-
perts.
At first the scientists at the
Applied Research Laboratories
worked on the theory that the
body secretions of female rats
might be changed from normal
by an acid or alkaline diet. After
months of experimentation they
became convinced that this could
not be done. Then they turned
to the douching experiment-en-
tirely new in this country.
For at least $500 years, men
princes and peasants alike-have
wondered how they might assure
the production of male issue to

recent so that seasonal variations
might be reduced to a minimum.
That was to guard against the
chance selection of mother rats
prone to bear a preponderance Of
males or females.
Then, in order to make the
change i if any - in sex ratios
more striking, Durfee divided the
20 females into two groups of 10
those preponderantly male-bearing
and those preponderantly female
bearing.
Next Grace H. Wheeler and
Everett Taft, Of the laboratory
staff, checked the oeStrus cycle, or
period of heat, in each rat to learn
when the female was most acid
and most alkaline. From these OBJ
servationS they hoped to decide
the strength of the solution with
which the rats were to be douched.
A European biologist, it should
be explained, had concluded that
an alkaline condition in the
tract produced a medium
which favored the mobility (pro-
ducing activity of the male-pro-
ducing sperm while an acid re-
action was more favorable to a
fem acknowledging cnprn
