Six Pairs of Twins
in One Family Are
Puzzle for Scientists

|. Chicago.-The six pairs of
fraternal twins that have been
born to Connecticut husband
and wife are somewhat disturb
ing to scientists.
Prof. William Walter Greulich, of
the department of anatomy and the
| adolescent study unit at Yale uni
| versity, presents study of the six
pairs of twins in the Connecticut
| family in the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
He has also looked into the fam
lily history of the twins parents.
Only on the fathers side can a rec
ord of previous multiple births be
found. The fathers father, it turns
out, had triplets by his second wife.
| The widespread belief that twin
ming tends to run in families is sup
| ported by evidence here and
abroad, and twin births everywhere
seem to appear just as frequently
on the fathers side as on the moth
er's. Now this disturbing fact can
not be reconciled with the accept
ed theory of the genesis of fraternal
twins.
Fraternal twins, as distinguished
from monozygotic twins Chose of
the same sex and physical charac-
teristics), are produced, it is usual
ly assumed, by the fertilization Of
two ova derived from separate fol-
licles either from the same or from
different ovaries.
Calls for Observations.
Such double ovulations are excep-
tional and are generally regarded
as the result of some upset in func-
ton of the ovulatory mechanism.
The control of this would natur-
ally be with the mother and could
not possibly be influenced by the
father.
Professor Greulich appeals to sur
Icons and pathologists to make OBJ
servations during operations and
postmortems on pregnant women
that will help find a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of this phenomenon.
The most reasonable explanation,
in his opinion, was advanced 20
years ago by DR.. c. H. Danforth
and recently by DR.. F. Curtius Of
Germany.
According to this hypothesis, the
sperm of some men causes the tub
al ovum to form two cells, both Of
which are susceptible of being fer
tilted, each, of course, by diff
ferent sperm. Such fertilization
would result in the production Of
twins who had the same heredity
from the mothers side but different
paternal heredity.
Such twins might be of like or of
unlike sex and would presumably
be intermediate between identical
and ordinary double-egg twins in
the degree of resemblance that they
would bear to each other.
The Connecticut family, which
has renewed the faith of physicians
that phenomenal fecundity has
not become a lost art, had its
sixth pair of twins last June II.
The mother was thirty-five and the
father fifty-seven when they were
| born.
OF the first pair of twins the boy
died, but all others are living. Two
pairs are of the same sex but do
not resemble each other closely.

Meteorites Wanted

Washington.-Have you a little
meteorite Tor big one) in your
back yard? The Smithsonian in
stitution would like very much to
have it. These stones from the sky
may be found as soon as they fall,
but usually are picked up long after
wards. A considerable proportion
of them are made of solid iron, so
that chance lump that seems to be
stone but is much heavier than COM
mon stones is always subject to
suspicion of being a meteorite.

"Kuhel will bat better than 300
for the Sox. He should drive in a
lot of runs and be the best fielding
first baseman seen around Comiskey
park for a decade. Here's why.
Kuhel will escape from many of the
left-handed pitchers who have been
Handwriting him at the plate.
"He is a left-handed hitter, like
five other Washington regulars, who
has had to face as many south
paws as the opposition could mus
ter. With the White Sox, Kuhel
joins team that has six right-hand-
ed hitters. So he will do most of
his hitting against right-handed
pitchers, which should boom his bat
ting average.
"Bonura's case is exactly oppo-
site. Zeke, a power-house right
handler, will be among a flock of
left-handed hitters with Washing
ton. He'll go to bat frequently
against southpaw pitchers, which
should help him, too. All things
considered, it's one of the smartest
inside baseball deals in years.

Safe to Buy Emeralds

Washington.-Buyers of emeralds
need have no fear of getting syn
thetic stones instead of natural
gems, says DR.. w. F. Foshag, min
eralogist at the National museum
here, for it costs much more to
make emeralds in the laboratory
than it does to dig them from the
mine. Synthetic emeralds also diff
fer from natural stones in so
many ways that any competent
jeweler can easily tell the natural
from the manufactured gem.

played seriously since Babe Ruth
made the fans home run conscious
some years ago. In the American
league, particularly, the game has
been a hitter's market. Teams play
for the big inning and rally that
will win. When a man gets on first
base he doesn't try to steal. He
waits for his mates to drive him
home with their bats and they usual
ly do.

Cheat Next
At BeIosco

Fresh from triumphs in its
native Paris, in London, and a
dozen other capitals and New
York, Sacha Guitry's newest
film, THE Story of a Cheat" de
Roman dun TricheuD. with
unique English titles written by
John Erskine, celebrated author,
will have its premiere at the Be-
lasco Theater on Thursday, De
cember %.
Written, produced, directed,
and acted by the dominant
figure of the French stage to-
day, THE Story Of a Cheat" is
a faithful screen transcript of
Guitry's short novel of the same
name, which created a stir in
the literary world when it first
appeared three years ago, owing
to the daring theme underlying
its simple and human plot.
A boys life is saved because
a petty theft cheated him out of
a supper of poisonous muSh-
rooms which carry II other
members of the family to the
grave. Thus predisposed to
question the veracity of honesty
is the best policy" he lives a life
full of exciting and romantic
adventures as bell hop, croupier
at Monte Carlo, card-sharp UNI
der manifold DISCUSSES at all the
fashionable casinos, and finally
as gambler for the fun of it
never quite certain to the end
whether it pays to be honest.
Original in treatment as well
as in theme, THE Story of a
Cheat" is largely enacted for the
eye in scenes wildly fulfilling
the running narrative which
Guitry provides himself. Further
more, as admirers of Guitry
might expect, he has provided
himself with an actors holiday
in the wide range of roles he has
contrived for himself in his
card-sharper'S DISCUSSES.
Jacqueline Delubac, Guitry's
wife, has a commanding role.
and other parts are played by
Marguerite Moreno and Roger
Michel.

Cinderella
On the Woy

"Once upon a time" Cinde-

golden coach, four horses and
two liveried footman.
Today Cinderella's pumpkin
is on its way to Washington in
the form of a motor van or one
of those carriages without
horses" which Mother Shipman
predicted so many, many years
ago, when Cinderella even then
was an old and well-loved folk
tale, and such prophecies as
Mother Shipman's were looked
upon as pure fantasy and sheer
nonsense.
The motor van which brings
"Cinderella" to the National Fri
day morning, December 20, is
one of six which transports the
scenery for the Children's Thea
ter of New York from coast to
coast in its itinerary Of over
100 cities. These trucks are
large and commodious, deco
rated with gay-colored figures
from the seasons plays.

cent CT the old troupers in these

of the wind and the weather
through which they must ply
to see that the curtain goes up
on time.
But they have their reward-a
reward which gives promise Of a
reaping in the years to come by
future generations of players

gendering and keeping alive a
love for the living theater-the
theater which the best canned

Radio Sends q
Noisy Act

Five hundred revolver shots,
fired at a distance of four or
five feet from the actors, is just
average for a weeks rehearsal
of Gang Busters" who will re-
enact law-enforcement dramas
on the stage of the Earle Thea
ter for the week starting Friday.
And this almost continual use
of deafening firearms, with con-
seouent smoke congestion, poses
one of radios most difficult
problems for actors and pro-
ducerS alike.
No actor, for example, is al
lowed to participate in the
dramatizationS unless his ears
are adequately protected with
cotton. stuffing. Other instruc-
lions are also provided for cor
rect behavior under gunfire. The
cast is advised to hold their
mouths wide open whenever the
script calls for shooting. Only
in this way can ear pressure be
lessened and serious injury to
the ear-drums be avoided.
The stamina required to under
go a barrage even of blank
cartridges is indicated by the
fact that a police chief of a
small town declined an invita-
ton to appear on Gang Bust
ers," because my ears can't
stand the sound of pistol Shots"
A Smoke-filled room raises an.
other unusual problem for the
actors and producers of "Gang
Busters" The haze is so strong
that tears come to the actors
eyes and it is sometimes diff
cult for them to read their
scripts. Opening doors to al
low some of the revolver smoke
to escape is impossible, since
the shots can be heard at a
great distance.
Gang BusterS"-the Crusade
Against Crime-iS one of the
greatest contributions to radio.
It's dramatizations of the true
facts of crime and law enforce
ment has helped immeasurably
to safeguard the peoples Of the
United States against criminals
and desperados and clues
which have been handed over
to police officials by Gang
Busters" have resulted in the
capture of almost 200 criminals
during thn past three years.
