MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1935 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON VITAMIN E TO HELP SETTLE SEX PROBLEM Chicago, Jan. 21 (VP) Science, the Illinois state medical society an- j nounced today, may soon provide a; means of predetermining sex. The secret Is In vitamin E, lesser known brother of vitamin A. B, C and D, the society's Journal report ed. The vitamin, plentiful In the oily substance of wheat, appears from "the most ethical laboratory exeri ments" to have strange powers of telling whether an unborn child will be a boy or a girl, the Journal said. "Research suggests emphatically that this sex vitamin has an Import ant clinical role In the predetermin ation of sex," the article asserted. It predicted that when experi ments have been completed the shaft of wheat, long a barometer of world trade, may be the means of permit . ting parents to select the sex of their 'children In advance. Experiments with rats, the Journal said, showed that mother rats give birth to males and females In direct ratio to the sparse or overabundant supply of vitamin E In the diet. "Apparently hypo-vitaminosis, or a sparse supply. In the case of vita man E tends to produce male off springs, just as hyper-vitaminosls, or an abundant supply, tends to produce females," said the journal. It reported an experiment in Eng land in which two women, previous ly unable to bear children, were treated with the vitamin and each gave birth to a child. Incidentally, the journal said, re search showed that children treated with the vitamin are more Intelli gent than other children. MASS SUICIDES PUZZLE SCIENCE Ottawa, Ont.

CHINOOK PUTS SNOW ON RUN The howl of the chlnook replaced that of the coyote over the week end, ridding the streets of anow which fell Sunday all day, and causing an almost 100 per cent fa lanty among snow men. A light snow, held' In check bv low temperature, started to fall early Sunday morning and continued throughout the day and early eve ning, sticking to the oavement and highways as It fell until nearly two Inches covered the ground. Tobogganing proved popular but brought two victims, both of them seriously injured. - Otho White, of saiem. was painfully injured when a sled hit a stump near the Illahee Country club, causing a large splin ter to pierce his nip. Harlan Nelson, 15, of Woodburn, was taken to the Salem General hospital Sunday with a fractured hip as a result of a coasting accident near Woodburn.

The temperature Sunday hovered around the 20 degree mark all day until 8:42 o'clock at night when It rose one degree.

OHIO ANNUAL FARM IS NOT SUCCESS Norwalk, O. (IP) Ohio's effort to increase her game supply by raising rabbits and racoons wholesa le at two big farms near here, evidently has met with failure. , The state conservation depart ment had hoped that within a few years, thousands of racoons and rabbits could be loosed In various parts of the state, from the ranches. The first year's experiments at the rabbit ranch failed to such ex tent that no effort was made to stock the big enclosure this year. At the raccoon ranch, a year ago, about 750 fine 'coons, mostly black, were in the pens, and at the out set, it appeared the birth rate would be high; Propagation has been disappoint ing and heavy losses within the last month have reduced the animals to a great extent. There Is even talk of turning loose the remainder. 100-YEAR-OLD HILL RUNS Canton, O.
