* Dr. Calvin Bridges Reports Finds In Realm of Sex Determination After Long Series of Fly Tests California Institute Given Results of Special Study —Two Microscopic Qual- ities of Body Structure Probably Influence Male and Female.Choice. Pasadena, Cal, Sept. 23 (P—A discovery indicating how nature de- termines whether sex shall be rfale or female was reported to the Na- tional Academy of Sciences today by Dr. Calvin B. Bridges of California Institute of Technology. The method is a matfer of bal- mnce between male and female ele- ments in body cells, and differs from many scientific findings which credit sex control almost whollye to two specialized microscopical particles in bodily cells. Other Features Important In Dr. Bridges' studies these two particles re not alones They still exerciSe a large part of the control, but other particles which are known mainly to control other bodily char- acterizations, such as eye ‘color and shape, also have a small degree of sex determination. It is the sum of them all that fixes the result. Dr. Bridges' work was done on fruit flles. While he made no com- ment on possible human applica- tions, his findings increase the com- plexity of controlling sex, making it appear more reniote than ever that man may learn how to fix in ad- vance the sex of his children. The control particles are chromo- somes, minute, threadlike bodies in cells, identified by many sclentists in thousands of tests, as determin- ing hereditary characteristics of plants and animals. Chromosomes, given the names of X and Y, usually have been credited with determining sex by the way in which they combine. For ‘example, in many cases a combination of two X chromosomes results in females and an X and Y cohbination in males. Dr. Bridges' theory is one of “genic balance” in which the other chromosomes also Blay a part in sex. Bred Thousands of Flies The evidence he presented was ob- tained from breeding thousands of fruit files having a chromosome combination that had not been known previously to produce any- thing except males. He obtained some-females by a breeding process that dropped out some of the chrom- osomes controls. »This upset the genic balance in favor of the fe- males. Some flies developed patches on their bodies which were distinctively female, such as absence of combs that characterize the males. Dr. Bridges said this balance ex- tends to all hereditary characteris- tics, such as the length of wings and size of bodies. Some parts of the chromosomes controlling wings tend to make long ones and other yart short ones, so that the length becomes finally a balance between the two. New calculations on what happens to radlo waves in the atmosphere 50 miles or more above the earth were presented by Dr. P. S. Epstein of California Institute of Technology. Jonked Alr Layer f At that height is a layer of ionized air, believed to reflect radio waves and account for them traveling around the earth instead of shoot- ing off entirely into space. This layer is electrically conductive. ‘When conductivity of,such a layer 1s low he finds that radio and other electrical waves should be reflected back. In some conducting mediums they should be absorbed entirely. Some types of fading mjght be ex- plained in this manner he said, but added it is probable radio fading comes from other causes. The fonized reflecting blanket rises and falls, higher in day than at night, and higher in winter than in summer. Turbulence of the atmosphere is believed to affect it.

Frank Dorbandt, flying com- panion of the late Carl Ben Eil- son, and a mechanic, Alonzo Cope, dropped their sea plane in the slush ice near the Seattle fur trader Karise, to take aboard ghe master, Captain A. P. Jocquinson. He was taken to Turner yesterduy and then to Nome. ‘While making the dangerous flight, Dorbandt observed an open route in the arctic ocean and ra- doied this information to the officers of the marooned vessel. Physicians today said the life of Captain Jocquinson, suffering from kidney ailment, probably was saved by the sp:edy rescue. AUTO MARKERS SWITCHED, - PERATORS PAY FINES Man Who Made Change and Owner of Registration Plates Assessed $10 Each Today Arthur R. Swanson, 38, of 329 Osgood avenue, needed a truck to carry a pole to Burritt street yester- day and rather than take the chance of driving without markers he took a set off a truck driven by George A. Anderson, 27, of 459 Osgood avenue, an employe, and put them on another truck. He failed to put the markers back, however, -and Anderson, not noticing that they had been taken off, took his truck and went about his business. About 3:30 o'clock yesterday aft- ernoon Officer Fred Wagner stopped him on Stanley street and asked him where the markers were. An- derson replied that they had been on the truck Saturday and he was not aware that they had been taken off. He had the certificatd of reg- istration and his operator’s license in his possession but could not ac- count for the absence of the nmrk- ers. An .investigation was instituted and Swanson readily admitted his part in the situation. He was charg- ed with driving with improper métkers and Anderson with driving without marke Both pleaded guilty in police court today and were fined $10 and costs each. An- derson had nothing to say but Swanson took the witness stand and explained the case after Officer Wagner had outlined it to Judge Traceski.

[ One morning he wakes up in a| room in a cheap theatrical hotel in | the Bright Lights distridt of Nbw | | York to find that he has been mar- | ried to Ruth Chatterton, a tawdry woman of a social circle not listed in the blue books. | But Brook manfully decided that he will go through with the mar- riage. - He returns to his pretentious vith Ruth. She is madly in th him. Now come Brook's friends, to pass upon Ruth. Unfortunately she makes a few mistakes in her man- ners. The friends decide to snub | Brook.
