Although scientific re search appears to be on the verge of perfecting a reliable method of predicting the sex of unborn babies, the present "wait and see' policy seems to be best. One of the latest scientific methods, that could be the answer to the problem, in volves analyzing the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. No claims have yet been made as to its accuracy, how ever. Guessing Game But scientists and pseudo scientists have engaged in one of the most frustrating guessing games in the past 4,000 years of history. The superstitions relating to the prediction of fetal sex illustrate in fascinating man ner the credulity and skepti cism of mankind, its bondage to tradition and its flights of relationalization and imagin ation, Dr. Thomas R. Forbes of the Yale University School of Medicine points out in a review in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society. The oldest method on rec ord goes back4.000 years to the Egyptians. They recom mend, in writings an ancient papyrus, that a mixture of . dates and sand be placed in two flasks. Add barley or spelt to one, wheat to the other, after soaking each in the urine of the pregnant woman. If the' wheat sprouts first, a son will be born; if barley, a girl. Hippeeraies' Tests Even Hippocrates, the fath er of medicine, got into the guessing game by describing both tests and physical signs for determining fetal sex. He believed that boys develop on the right side of the uterus and girls on the left. There fore, if the fetus were a boy, the right eye of the mother would be brighter and clear er and her right breast larg er. If a girl, the opposite side would show these signs, he explained. This persistent belief that the male baby would be brighter or stronger or more active during pregnancy dom inated the beliefs of people down through the ages. Even today there is the saying that an active fetus will be a boy. Biologist Offers Night Driving Aids Southbridge, Mass. - (CPB Dr. Oscar W. Richards, chief biologist for the American Optical Co., offers motorists six rules for night driving. -Take enough time to get used to seeing when leaving a bright place before starting to drive at night. -Relax the eye muscles by looking about as much as safe driving permits. Never stare long in the same spot. -Protect the eyes from glare. Look to the side of the road rather than at the source of the light. -At night, never wear sun glasses or tinted spectacles. Keep spectacles, wind shield and lights clean and free from surface damage. -Slow down until the per ceptual load is not too great for good, safe driving. Arkansas Claims Historians Wrong Little Rock, Ark. - (DPI - The Arkansas Publicity and Parks Commission claims that the first shot of the Civil War was fired, not at Fort Sumpter, S. C, but at Pine Bluff, Ark. In April, 1861, the com mission says, the Jefferson Guards halted several Fed eral boats at Pine Bluff as they were steaming up the Arkansas River with guns, ammunition and supplies for garrisons at Little Rock, Fort Smith and F' rt Gibson, Okla. Regular Arkansas troops acting under the orders of Governor Rector fired at the boats and their cargoes were -seized - for the Confederate Army, according to this account. RED FUNNY TALK London - (UPB - The favorite joke making the rounds in Russia goes like this, Soviet Embassy Attache M. Seminov told the London News Chron icle: "In America there are two classes of people, opti mists and pessimists. The opti mists insist on their children learning Russian. The pessi mists are having them taugtlt Chinese."
