Nerves Watched Growing Inside Of Tadpoles’ Tails UNIVERSITY, Va, May 4. Tadpoles' tails are zelling Univer- city of Virginia scientists a new story of first aid for nerves. The tails are transparent. With- in them living nerves are watched under the microscope by a method reported by Dr. Carl C. Speidel of the medical school of the Ameri- can Association for the Advance- ment of Science. The nerves start as tiny sprouts grow, extend and finally branch into networks. But, like plants breaking through soil, they meet obstacles. On such occasions tiny cells are seen occasionally sliding along the nerve to the point of trouble. These first aid cells are makers of the sheath which insulates al’ nerves. Sometimes it almost seems that a nerve radios back home for an extra supply of sheath cells The latter have been observed mi- grating along one nerve to trans- fer at some crossing to another nerve fiber. e STUDIO HOTESSES MUST BE PERFECT, THAT'S ALL NEW YORK, May 4—The per- fect studio hostess snould have all the virtues characterized in “Pil- grim’s Progress.” In addition, she should possess faith, hope and charity, with a modern, cosmetic dash of good humor, rouge and lipstick.
