flee into Scotland—and " AS REPRODUCER Nale's Sole Function Is Give, New Lile Inividuality | | Cleveland, Jan. 18 UM—The fe- | male element in reproduction is| alone sufficient to produce & new organism, Professor Albert Bracht,, of the University of Brussels, told | the Cleveland Academy of Medicine | last night. The sole function of the male, he said, is to give the new life individuality: “the residue of its ancestors.” | Numerous experiments in which | life had been induced, followed im- | mediately by growth, through labo- ratory treatment of the female egg were cited, but the noted European anatomist and authority on genetics | sald that tests could not be conduct- | ed with human beings. | “Take & female frog's egg, un-, fertilized, and puncture it with a minute glass point,” he sald, in ex- plaining his methods, “and it will begin to grow. Take the female egg of the sea urchin and treat it with a certaln acid and that develops. “We have found that the fema)p element in reproduction is sufficier to produce the new organism. The male addition merely gives it indi- viduality, the residue of its ances- tors. Unfortunately, however, these same tests cannot be experimentally induced in the human.” Prof, Bracht said the only social significance of his discoveries is in their influence on health laws, along the line of approved genetics | and such as would build up general | health. As far as heredity in the human race goes, Prof. Bracht be- | lieves, the race gets about the type of man it wants, no matter what lis rating by science. GRETNA GREEN HAS | ESTABLISHED MARK. New Record of Marriage Nets. 200 Couples ‘ Gretna Green, Scotland, Jan. (A—Romance blossomed in this historic resort of runaway lovers| with more than ancient splendor | during the last 12 months. ! Beguiled by the hymeneal tradi-| tions which hang over the anvil of the Gretna Green smithy and the informal altar of the toll collector, 200 couples said their marriage vows here in 1928, setting a new record in the town's famous indus- try. Five American bridegrooms claim- «d their brides here during the | boom year. No longer is a Gretna Green mar- | ; | vinge necessarily the climax of an | « lopement. Since 1856 it has not been | possible to unite man and wife with | glorious haste on this side of the border, But the glamour of the old romantic days still draws scores of | couples here to take the matri- monial pledge. The world-wide fame of Gretna Green was established when Scot- tish laws permitted quick and easy marriages. Before 1856 the statutes | allowed man and maid to embrace | wedlock by merely declaring their | intention before witnesses. No li-| cense and no preacher or magis- trate were required. Love-lorn couples in England in those old days would traditionally | Gretna Green was the first town north of | ‘the border on the chief highway. | The blacksmith shop of the vil-| lage became the accepted nuptial | scene of the eloping. couples. The brawny smith added many a guinea to his income by joining willing | hands across his anvil. The toll-gate | keeper was the smithy's keenest .rival in this profitable avocation. Any man, indeed, was qualified to oversee the simple ceremony, and .sather in the shillings from gen- erous bridegrooms. ‘The law of 1556, however, estab- lished the requirement that one of the contracting parties must live in Scotland for 21 days before the ‘wedding. | | | | 18 | [ Hungary Raises Bars ‘ Against Radical Books Budapest, Hungary, Jan. 18.—(#) | ~—Count Btephen Bethlen, premier of | Hungary, has ordered that all for-| | being held in the Fraternal bowling {alleys on Arch street. | street this #vening at 8 o'clock.

Both the national council of Monaco and the as a protest against the policies and management of the Casino of Monte Carlo, and the prince's ap- parent approval of its course, No Taxes Paid By Citizens “The average taxpayer of the United States is interested when he lcarns that Monte Carlo citizens are exempt from taxes,” says the bulle- tin, “He is likely to be amused | when he learns that as a sort of price for this freedom they are solemnly prohibited from gambling. Doubtless he will be astounded when he acquires a third fact; no collected from 'the non- country’s and the city's expenses are paid from gambling profits! “The city of Monte Carlo is a di- rect creation of the magnificent Casino which dominates its shore line, Seventy-five years ago Monaco town existed on its rock to the south much as it had existed for seven centuries; and at its foot was a part of the present commune of La Con- damine. But to the north, the site of Monte Carlo was only a pictures- que brown plateau and hillside, scarred with rough outcropping rock ledges, with here and there an isolated house, In 1856 the reigning Prince of Monaca permit- ted the establishment of a small aco. Soon it was moved to the bare plateau to the north. “The unpretentious casino pros- pered and around it rose hotels and other buildings. By 1878 the pros- perity was so great that the first unit of the present elaborate and magnificent gaming casino was erected. Greater and more hand- some hotels, theaters and art mu- seums arose, and villa after villa appeared on the hillsides.

Having discharged defense coun- sel against the advice of the court, the 23 year old defendant proceed- ed confidently in the murder trial in which his life is at stake. Northeott, who claims a knowl- edge of law gained from a corre- spondence school course, attempted to establish that blood and bones found at the ranch and identified as those of Lewis and Nelson Winalow, Pomona, Calif., boys, were from sources other than described in prosecution testimony. Death Threst Clark, who had testified for the state that under threats of death he assisted Northcott in the killing of the Winslow brothers, agreed under questioning by his uncle that two dogs had been buried on the place. “Do you remember me having “Don’t you remember me being in bed sometimes & half day with nosc bleed ?** “No.* Northoott touched on his alleged mistreatment of his mephew. “That day that I cut ypu with & knife, did it bleed much?” he asked. “Yen v “Was anything dons about 1t1* “A bandage was put on {t.” “Who put it on?" “] did,” Sanford sald. “Didn't I put it on for you? “In other words—] would have Jet you bleed to death, would I?* I wyes” French Citizen Claims He Planned War Tanks Lille, France, Jan. 18 UP—A man ' who says he is the real inventor of the tanks used during the world war has brought suit against the state for $600,000 damages for having communicated the plans of his in- vention to England.
