...rats, Dr. H. W. Feldman '26, as National Research Fellow, has continued his studies of fertility and sterility both within the species Rattus norvegicus, and in crosses between it and Rattus rattus. Several previous investigations have found this cross invariably unsuccessful, but Dr. Feldman found that under favorable circumstances normal matings can be induced between norvegicus females and rattus males, and that hybrid embryos may be produced. For some reason, however, these embroyos die and are either resorbed or aborted before the completion of the normal gestation period. The longest continued gestation for hybrid embryes thus far observed terminated...
...lobe. Overactivity of the lobe causes sexual precocity, great stature, large hands and feet, culminating in the giant of the circus. Underactivity causes sexual retardation, small hands and feet, small fat bodies culminating in the true dwarf. Doubtless Dr. Steinach fed extracts of the anterior lobe to his rats. Normal people gradually growing old will take another look at the circus side shows produced by pituitary glands run riot, before they try to stop Nature's course with Dr. Steinach's serum...
...cures as there are sufferers. Last week Drs. J. Frank Pearcy and Daniel B. Hayden of the University of Chicago Medical School advocated a new one, in the American Medical Association Journal. They had been working on ears and eyes in hospital and laboratory; they noticed that lowering the normal blood pressure by means of sodium nitrite decreased the dizziness and "seasick" feeling of subjects after they had been rapidly rotated. Believing that seasickness is caused by overstimulation of the labyrinth of the ear by the constant changing motion of boats, they decided to give sodium nitrite a public trial...
...epidemic of 500,000 cases of influenza is raging in Japan. So said despatches featured last week by the U. S. press. No, there is no epidemic. Instead, cases of pulmonary diseases are "slightly fewer than normal" in Japan this winter. So read later despatches ignored by most U. S. editors...
Whether spring practice is to make football more a hectic, gruelling business or more of a normal game played primarily for the pleasure in playing it depends largely on the spirit in which the spring season is undertaken and the ends it is intended to serve. In some colleges spring practice has been a large element in reducing football to profession--a profession which claims the exclusive attention of a large number of athletes for the entire year and in which the remnants of sport for pleasure or for health are scarcely discernible. From the start of the spring season...
