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. (LP) One of the
strangest and inexplicable stories In
natural history the "suicide march"
of the lemming, Arctic mouse was
told by Dr. R. M. Anderson, of the
victor Memorial Museum here.
Every four years, Anderson reveal
ed, millions of tiny white Arctic
mice voluntarily march Into the sea
and drown. They never migrate in
land, always towards the sea. Sci
entists cannot explain why.
The mice are so numerous that
it sometimes takes a whole week
for one band to pass a given point.
Eskimos believe that the mice fall
with the snow of Arctic blizzards.

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.
Motor accidents were kept at
minimum, both because of decreased
traffic and extra precautions taken
by motorists.
The lowest temperature recorded
at the airport was 15 degrees Satur
day morning at 7:42 o'clock. The
temperature Sunday hovered around
the 20 degree mark all day until
8:42 o'clock at night when It rose
one degree. From that time on the
increase In temperature, caused by
a strong south wind, was constant
and at 9 o'clock Monday morning
the mercury was standing at 42 de-

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.

TOUR MEXICO IN
HOTEL RAIL CARS
Already recognized by experienced
travelers as one of the world's most
picturesque lands, Mexico promises
to become a greater attraction for
tourists as a result of the lnaugu
ation of air-conditioned "Hotel Gar
Cruises" over rail lines of the South
ern Pacific, National Railways of
Mexico, and the Southern Pacific
of Mexico.
This prediction was made today
by railroad traffic officials in an
nouncing the novel excursions.
which are now scheduled to leave
El Paso and Tucson every Monday.
Connections from the east and
south are made at El Paso or Tuc
son, and from the west at Tucson.
The itinerary of the tour has
been mapped with great care, and

Uruapan, Patzcuaro, Guanajuato,
Guadalajara, and Mazatlan. Enter
ing Mexico at Nogales and return
ing via El Paso, the land cruise
