Beginning on this date, daily intraperltlonal Llinjections of sterile anterior lobe ex■tract were given to the smaller of the ■two dogs. The heavier puppy was reas a control. f I "By May 1. it became apparent that ■the dog which received the injections ■ was giowing faster than the control. ■ From that time on, there was an iu■creasing difference between their res■pective weights.” i I The two dogs were kept under ob■servation until June, 1928. The exper■imenatl animal was given regular in- ■ jections of the prepared extract, while ■ the other, the • control," was cared for Bin the ordinary way to give the basis Bof comparison so important in a scienBtific experiment. || The dogs receiving the injections ■ had been the lighter'at the start of Bthe test, yet week by week she gained B until she was finally almost double I the weight of her littermate. I I "June 14 was an unusually warm B day," the report said. “The experi- | mental animal appeared as usual in B the morning, and was let out on the ■ roof with the other dogs. Toward the B end of the afternoon it was fountl ly- ■ ing dead in the sunshine. The other ■ animals did not appear adversely as- ■ fected by the heat.” Apparently the ■ heat and lungs of the “giant dog" ■ could not stand the strain imposed by I the artificially-enlarged body. I o I PLANS HEAT FROM RADIO > Paris, Apr. 25 — (UP) —Wireless I beams from the Eiffel Tower may be I employed to furnish heat for the resi- ■ dent of Paris, if tentative pldns drawn I by French engineers are put into esI feet. Heating plants deriving their pow- ■ er from radio waves are operating I successfully in Germany, according to I Jacques Resler whose report forms | the basis of these plans. Risler said | that while the question of wireless I heating houses is still in the experlI mental stage, the feasibility of it has I been definitely established. Explaining how the wireless heatI ing plant would operate, Risler said: In the laboratory two posts were set I up about thirty feet apart. The sendI mg post sent out from 400 to 500 volt I current waves of two to three meters I length. All that is to be done is to inI lerpose on the receiving post circuit I a filament ‘in vacuo,’ and it is raised I t« an incandescent state and gives out I Quite appreciable heat.

(United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, April 25 —(UP) —Donald Ogden Stewart, who of course became a bond salesman after graduating from ' Vale, but who later repented and went , humorist now has turned his attention to the field of tragedy. In “Father William - ’ (Harpers), he tells the tear-laden story of Austin Seabury, a widower at the age of 45 and the despair of his intelligent son and daughter who regard him as much i too frivolous. Prehaps because of his lonesomness | and perhaps because of his need for youth Austin becomes attentive to Pussie Whitehouse, a madcap contemporary of his children. To complicate things a bit further the Seabury son also is attracted by the young lady. And to cap it all Pussie cares for neither. With such a scant notion of the plot you might call “Father William" a comedy and indeed that is the name the publishers apply to it. Hut to a reviewer who finds his hair thinning a bit and whose waistline will never be 30 again, the book is sheer, unadulterated tragedy and we ll thank Mr. Stewart to write no more like it. i ‘ Moving with a single jerk of the space bar from things ridiculous to 1 things sublime we find before us “While Peter Slops," by E. Boyd Barrett lives Washburn). Barrett, a former Jesuit priest, herein analyzes the Catholic church with particular attention to conditions in the United States. Were we to swallow his theories whole we would look forward to eventual establishment of an 1 American Catholic church disassociated from Rome. It is Quite possible that Barrett is open to the charge of bais but he is hardly guilty of rancor. Indeed it is likely that “While Peter Sleeps" will 1 find its most interested audience among the Catholic clergy and devoted 1 communicants. Man’s incessant defense against the 1 inroads of disease is an absorbing 1 story. It now has been put between : covers. Dr. Richard 11. Hoffman has rested from his labors as a sepciallst in neurology long enough to write "The Srtuggle for Health” ((Horace Liverright).

Seattle. Wash., April 25 —(UP)— “And the average university student Is becoming more serlousmlnded,” William Taylor, Jr., men’s personnel director at the University of Washington said in an Interview here. Midnight serenades, collegiate flivvers ufid baggy trousers are passe, and there’s a reason, Taylor went on. Universities generally have made their scholastic regulations more strict and that tends to calm the collegiiites. High school youths were held responsible for other changes. ’ These boys saw that the university boys were wearing and they imitated them to the Nth extreme.
