Change Turkey Hens Into Gobblers, Latest Plan of Dr. 0. Riddle Ttlli Academy of Scienc Mem--her That It It Pottibla to Change Sex. If you want a nice fat turkey gobbler for Christmas dinner, just buy a turkey hen. This sounds like a catch, but it may be within the realm of possibility, according to Dr.

Osctr Riddle of the Station for Experimental Evolution, Carnegie institute, Cold Spring Harbor, who declares that there is a possibility of changing hens into roosters. It is not only possible but it has been he told a number of persons attending a lecture of the New York Academy of Sciences In the American Museum of Natural History, last night. Dr. Riddle said he had watched a hen being transformed into a rooster. While at one time she laid eggs, later she became the father of a family.

He has also seen, he stated, a female ring dove changed Into a male, and a colleague of his has seen tho method work in the opposite direction when a male salamander became a female. Tuberculosis did the work, he told the members of the Academy. It destroyed certain organs In the hen and male organs took their place. It is necessary that tuberculosis or something of similar naturo work on the body and Increase the activity of the bodily processes, ho claims. But in time a substitute for tuberculosis will be found which will cause the samo activity in the body tissues without Its harmful effect, he predicts.

Some day it will be possible to transform a man Into a woman or a xn Into a man, he believes. Sex, ho says, is, contrary the general belief, an inherited characteristic. In he same way, a person's height or his intellectual qualities are Inher-'ted chiefly from one of his parents. Since he inherits the sex from one of his parents, It will be possible to give him also other of the charac teristics of one of his parents, the characteristics of the parent he most iMmires. ur.

Supreme Court Justice Russell Benedict today announced the awards he has fixed for the taking of private land and the abrogation ff leaseholds for the extension and opening of some IS Coney Island streets in accordance with the am bitious plan of Boro President Rle- telmann. The awards total (6,139,968.40. The city acquired some 676.921 square feet.

About 288 city lots were condemned. Beach front awards range from 120 to $12 per square foot. Surf ave. awards range from $22 all the way down to $6 per square foot. Interior awards are as low as $3 per square foot.

The, average of all is $8.40 per square foot, or about $16,800 per lot. For the land tho city is charged for buildings and other Improvements, $1,295, 363. 3u; leaseholders were awarded Tho proceeding was begun on Aug. 6 last. The taking of evidence for the claimants and the city began Nov.

5 and continued every day until the end of December, more than 2,100 pages of testimony being taken and some 400 exhibits considered. Justice Benedict personally viewed all the properties, both before and after the buildings were razed or cut off or altered to make way for 15 streets to the Boardwalk. Claims Totaled $10,400,000. Property owners' claims aggre gated about $10,400,000. City ex perts said the properties were worth only $4,800,000.

Commenting on this discrepancy. Justice Benedict said: "The magnitude of the discrepancy indicates the degree in which the testimony of real estate experts is of actual value to the court in reaching a conclusion on questions of value. It also illustrates the advantage of the law that while the court ought to con sldcr the evidence of experts, it is not bound by such evidence, but mav act on sucn testimony as the value of land In the vicinity established by ales, as well as on its own view of the property and its own judgment and experience In order to reach a just conclusion as to the damage." rrora careiuuy sirting all the evidence Justice Benedict discovered there were well defined differences in the values of different portions of the same damage parcel. The schedule of awards made bv Justice Benedict show the infinite pains he took to determine this record-breaking condemnation proceeding. In the light of much experience it is no exaggeration to say that under the old system of street opening commissions this proceeding would not be finished until 1935.

All the equipment of bathhouses, amusement devices and buildings on the properties were consfdered in detail and valued separately by Justice Benedict, so that whatever appeals the property owners wish to take will be easy and the Appellate Division, tf It chooses can alter some of the findings without necessitating retrials of the entire proceeding.

H.J.KENNER TELLS OF DRIVE ON SWINDLES Head of Better Business Bureau Addresses Kiwanlans.

Small Investors are taking more pains than ever before to Investigate before they Invest and legitimate business is making substantial headway in its fight against stock swindlers and buckctshops, according to H. J. Kenner, president of the Better Business Bureau of New York City, who addressed a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn at the St. George Hotel today. "Countless thousands of people unschooled in the lore of Investing have been easy prey to the venders of worthless or misrepresented secur ities who hold themselves out as reputable brokers or investment bankers and trade upon' the confidence which the public has in financial New York," said Mr.

Kenner. "By this proceeding under the Martin Law the Attorney General of New York State has been abl not only to stop many nefarious schemes but also has been able to turn the spotlight of publicity upon methods plied In the art of vending questionable securities to an extent which has en abled the reading public to keep abreast of the clever artifices used to ensnare unwary possessors of savings accounts or legitimate securities. "Great service to the public has been rendered," continued Mr. Ken ner, "by tho newspapers of New York City which have devoted their news columns to facts which enlighten their readers and their editorial columns to constructive comment and criticism of the campaign against the depredations of conscienceless opera tors." Mr Kenner described, a number of different systems which have bcn recently in vogue for getting the un wary investor's money and urged that suspicions be reported to the Better Bus'ness Bureau for investigation and that they be given no circulation until proved by facts. "Fair-dealing houses vastly out number illegitimate sellers of securities," Mr.

Kenner continued, "and a high level of confidence in legitimate hus'ness can be maintained only by the careful investigation of specific abuses and removed by the roots of causes of suspicion. The business men of Brooklyn and Manhattan have set their hands to this task. Although it is difficult and even disagreeable, they are determined to carry it to a still more successful stage.
