D. 8., of the Harvard university dental school. The treatment has a new Greek name, Palinaesthesla. The is an intravenous injection of minute amounts of hydrochloric acid. He termed the injection a “recall acid” and said investigations are Planned to discover whether there may be other similar acids which might Possess life-restoring powers, perhaps over more range.

By the end of 1937, according to the plan, the Soviet Union is to near-| ly triple her production over the fig- jure reached in 1932, when the first five-year plan was brought to a close. The proposed production total of about $51,000,000,000 annually at ominal values would be equal to nine times the Russian production before the war. The plan, published by the Soviet , is that submitted by Vyaches- ll of commissars, and V. V. Kuiby- shev, president of the supreme coun- ¢il of national economy. ‘The plan was tendered by the two Officials to the political bureau which secepted it and now will offer it to e 17th Communist party congress . 19, The extent of the enterprises which would be realized under this program makes the second five-year plan dwarf the first, which, at the time of its proposal, was considered gi- Bantic beyond the possibility of achievement in an industrially-back- ward country. The new plan fixes the volume of production in 1937 at 103,000,000,000 rubles (nominally a ruble is worth about 50 cents) as compared with 43,- 600,000,000 rubles at the end of 1932 with the completion of the first five- year plan, The proposed figure, based on the Prices of 1926-27, would be equal to nine times the production before the war, An impetus is planned in the in- crease of the production of consum- ers’ goods, following up the tendency of last year to pay more attention to the immediate needs of the popula- The average yearly rise in such goods is scheduled at 22 per cent as compared with 17 per cent annually under the first five-year plan. However, the output of machinery and other means of production is scheduled to reach the same percent- age of increase over the 16 per cent of the first plan.
