Registered as a girl at birth, Sugie lived the life of a female for twenty three years, working
as a maid-servant and a factory hand. Both 'she' and others be- lieved in 'her' female sex.

Considerably alarmed by this unexpected development, Sugie's parents hastily summoned doctors to an examination, and were told by the latter that their 'daughter' was in reality a son.
A petition was then made for the change of Sugie's sex, and a judge put the finishing touches
by declaring Sugie a man.-Havas.

Indus- trials attracted buyers but gilt- edged were less in the limelight and Argentine, together with Far Eastern bonds, were stronger. Wall Street was weak.-Reuter,
