...recent study, done for the U.S. Army by Dr. Robert Grover and Dr. John Reeves, shuttled high school students between Leadville, Colo., and Lexington, Ky., and showed that the boys' lungs exchanged only about 75% as much oxygen in the "Cloud City" (10,190 ft.) as in Lexington (955 ft.).

The charge has put the hard-driving salesmen of P. & G. in a quandary: How can their company...
