Mystery "Half
Solved" by 1880

His success was complete Then
the professor was struck by the
fact that all the children born
as a result of this treatment
which involved the use of alkaline
douches-were of the male sex.
From this he concluded that
the treatment itself must have
been a determining factor in the
production of boys. In 1880 the
German Medical Weekly stated
that DR.. Unterberger had half
solved the great problem of pre-
natal determination of sex" In
1882 he reported that his treat
ment had proved successful in "a
consecutive cases.
Following publication OF his
papers, it developed that numer-
Gus other scientists had been
searching for a method of sex pre-
determination.
AS far back as 1924 Prof. Agnes
BIuhm had declared that aka.
Unity or acidity of vaginal Secre,

with prenatal sex determination.
But it was not until 1929 that she
began actual research along these
lines. Then her experiments were
cut short by illness.

One Wanted Girl
And Had Her

All but one had asked for boys
The exception, who requested q
girl, got one.
In their first letter in the Ian
Get, they wrote, in part:
Some years ago it was sug-
geSted that the chemical reac-
ton of the vaginal secretion of
the mother might influence the
sex of the resulting child.
1T is now generally agreed
that, in the human species. the
SpermatoZoa are of two kinds
differing in the number of
chromosomes; one variety is be-
lieved to be potentially male,
the other female.
The human female ova are,
Of themselves, asexual without
SEX. If an ovum is fertiliZed
by a female spermatozoon, it is
a daughter.
Work done in Germany and
elsewhere seems to show that
a relatively alkaline secretion
favors fertilization by the male
spermatozoa, while and acid
secretion favors fertilization by
the female. and this opens up
the possibility of pre-arranging
of the sex of the offspring.
In inquiring into this posi-
bility, we have collected in
formation from a few women
who were examined at frequent
intervals over a period of sew
eral months, and also from
others who were examined two
or three times"

The Drs. Taylor published a

1882. But even before that time

However. said DR.. Taylor,

 She knew if she heSitated, if she looked back once more, she would not be able to go on. She would go back to Bret, beg him to tell her that he loved her, throwing pride aside, her millions, everything.
 She heard the first faint whistle of the train as she reached the juno tion, long, mournful, wailing sound, echoing and re-echoing. There is nothing so sad, she thought, as the whistle of train at night.
 The watchman did not seem to be anywhere about. Connie looked in the baggage room, knocked at the locked door of the small shed. She supposed somehow she, herself, would have to manage to flag the midnight train. There would be no other passenger, that was certain.
 But not so certain as she had imagined. She had stepped out on to the platform, in the glare of the binding eyes of the train that in another moment would be painting and putting to a standstill, when someone dashed up behind her, caught her two arms raised to wave the signal, spun her around.

New Boss of Brooklyn Dodgers Lists Problems
 Ahead; Wants Players
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Jan. 2O-(UP)-Larrv MacPhail, one of a party of Ameri- can doughboys who tried to kidnap the Kaiser 20 years ago, had an- other bold plot under way today He'll try to straighten the tangled affairs of the Brooklyn baseball club and convert it into something more than a collection of clowns.
 MacPhail, a red-faced, sunnv- haired 1rishman with energy to burn, has signed a Swear contract as executive vice-president of the Dodgers with full and complete authority to run the club. Starting from scratch MacPhail has no illu- slons about the job ahead of him.
 If it isn't the toughest job in baseball" MacPhail said, it'll do until someone uncovers a tougher one"
 Plans Ahead
 Briefly, MacPhail platform and ideas may be listed as follows:
 l. Build the Dodgers into an ag- gressive contender.
 2. Build farm club organization to produce players.
 5. Repair and recondition the park.
 4. Make Burliegh Grimes boss on the field.
 5. Cancel all pending deals for Van Mungo unless only worthwhile players are involved.
 My main idea is to build an or ganization and a ball club,". said MacPhail. "We are starting almost from zero. In the front office we haven't even stenographer. On the ball field we have few valu- able players and we don't intend to get rid of them unless we get play CTS in return.
 Cubs Offer Off
 "Mungo is one of the players sought by other clubs. Well, all deals are off for him that innvolye cash especially the Cubs offer of $75, 1000 and Frey, Collins Marty and Shoun. We are not interested in cash because you can't play him in the outfield, We'll trade Mungo or anybody else if players can be ob- tained to help the Dodgers. Buddy Hassett is another player muchly in demand. The same thing applies to him as to Mungo We are interest ed in players only for our stars. And I might mention in passing we have money to buy players if and major league clubs have any for sale.
 "Burliegh Grimes will have as much authority on the field as any National League manager. I'll back him to the limit. have the final say so on all deals but naturally Grimes wishes certainly will be re- spected.
 AS for night baseball that's about No. 10 on our list of prob lens. First we've got to build ball club. People won't come to see you play at night or day if the club is lousy. I'd say off hand that some other National League club will play night baseball before Brooklyn"
