For Prof. Rebekah Gibb us, of the home econoiilies department, of the I University of Nebraska, has just com-. pleted a study that shows the specific j dynamic action of protein has no effect on the body build—at least in dogs. Working on the theory that some animals are fat and s.mie thin because of tile waste heat produced following the eating of food, she conducted a ser-1 ies of experiments with dogs to learn ' whether this extra heat did waste the food, and thus produce leanness. Greyhounds were selected as animals typifying hereditary thinness and j stocky mongrels served as the oppo- , site heat praduced following the eating of food was studied in the two < type* of dogs. The greyhounds are thin because they produce a larger amount of this extra heat, thus wasting part of their food, Miss Gibbons reasoned But her

experiments showed the two types f animals produced approximately the same amount of want heat, and another theory of why the tat man gets fatter and the lean man gets thinner, was blasted. Although her theory was proved as incorrect. Miss Gibbons has contributed to the subject by eliminating that as a hypothesis. And so she plans to direct her research along other lines to determine why slender Johnny cannot fatten up or why plump Mary fails to gain 11 silhouette figure.
