This substance was injected in- to the blood stream of guinea pigs Emil A. Falk: Prolonged injec- tion strengthened the muscles in pigs of both sexes. In parteiular, the jaw muscles became larger. This chemical is believed to explain the difference in muscu! lar strength of men and women, Although it is a natural: male product, women also have a lit- tle. Extra production of:it would to far to explain the occasignal feminine muscular prodigy. The Cornell experiments are aimed at using the chemical for muscular deficiency. General muscular weakness is a symptom artificial male chemical may be the right medicine. No investigation has been made of giving it to healthy per- sons to build greater strength.

At first the cards were on such innocent subjects as flags, auto- mobiles, and sports; but now the favorite pictures are of a mili- tary character. These cards started with war- ships and war planes of all na- tions, German army uniforms and later centered on military action itself. One series of these cards pictures the World War from be- ginning to end. Captions on the back of the cards describe the pic- , tures. With the scene shifting from the front in France to Russia, from the Italian front to the Balkans and ‘to Palestine, the se- ties touches—if vaguely—on all phases of the war. The part played by the Ger- mans is glorified, and the grim; aspects of the war are not shown. Only ‘a’ sthall number of pictures give;.a hint of’ the realities of modenn war, All gory features appear to be taboo. a NOTICE OF ADOPTION The undersigned will apply on November Ist, 1938, to the Hon.
