San Francisco, Mar. 31.— (United Press.)- Selection of a jury to determine whether Dorothy Ellingson, It; year-old matricide, is sane, started in superior court here today. It marked the turn in the case taken when Dorothy was pronounced "medically Insane” l?y exports yesterday.

If they tail to prove the girl unbalanced then she must go through another trial on the charge of murder —two trials instead of ono. Chicago, Mar. 31.—(United Press.) -Eighty per cent of the lawless youth >f the country can trace the criminalIstic urge to faulty functioning of the endocrine glands—mysterious glands of Inner secretion -Dr. Maxmlmllfun Kern, author of many works on the endocrine glands, declared in an interview with the United Press today. Dr. Kern’s books were used for reference In the famous Leopold-Loeb murder case. Parents can learn a valuable leason from the Dorothy Ellingson murder case, Dr. Kern said. "There has been a vast increase of crime among the youth of both sexes,” Dr. Kern said. "Not only the amount of crime, but its nature, as well as the lack of a sufficient motive. point to some abnormal condition or conditions underlying it. Much has been written to account for this orgy of youthful deprevity, hut most of the theories can be expressed in one word—hpyer-excitation. This condition is ciused by imbalance of the endocrine glands ami the whirl of modern life.” The endocrine glands, the thyroid, parathyrois and other like glands, secrete fluids which play a tremendous part in the physical and moral development of tile individual. Dr. Keir explained. Improper fui'ctidling of these glands causes lack or moral balance, he said. "These individuals do not necessarily intelligence, nor need they be in any sense weak minded," Dr. Kern pointed out. "They are simply more or less moral imbeciles, persons whose impulses are abnormally strong and whose inhibitory powers are abnormally weak; the abnormal impulses being the result of excessive emotionality and the excess emotionality being itself the result of imbalance of endocrine glandular secretions due to unhealthy over-excita-tion. — o Ashmore, Illinois, Bank Robbed Monday Afternoon Terre Haute.
