Sterile Men. Sexual potency in men is no sign of fertility, says Dr. Hamblen. In fact, overactivity may cause sterility for long periods of time. Underlying cause of male sterility is production of sluggish, weak, or scanty spermatozoa (there should be about 60 to 100 million sperms per cubic centimeter...
...homes, with enough left over for 5,000,000 miles of aluminum electric transmission cable. It will have to market more tons of metal than all the U.S. copper companies combined have ever sold in a peacetime year. At present prices, aluminum costs $28 a cubic foot; magnesium, $25; copper, $66; and stainless steel $100. Alcoa well knows that after the war it will have to reduce its relative price still lower to find a market for the sixfold increase in its output...
...silt under her must be blown out and dredged out. A thousand holes in her steel skin, such as ports, must be sealed up. Out of her hull must be drained as many of the tons of dirty water as engineering judgment decides. And at least 10,000 cubic yards of muck must be sucked out of her shell. When all this is done, with a hundred other more technical operations, the Lafayette will regain buoyancy, will right herself like a released rolypoly-the Navy hopes...
...shipment of CKDs to Rangoon, where there were adequate assembly facilities, had to be diverted after Rangoon's fall to Ceylon, where there are not? The CKDs would become junk. Anyway, speed looks more important than space saving to the Army now. Hence three-fourths of the "cubic" of many ships to Australia continues to be wasted. Last week Rear Admiral John W. Greenslade told Oakland shipyard workers that thousands of needed Army trucks have been stored in the U.S. for lack of shipping space. Some Australians think this system is crazy. Fiercely proud of their young, protected industrial...
...feet long, are stuffed with 416,000 cubic feet of helium, cruise up to 2,000 miles at 55 m.p.h. Crew totals eight; armament includes machine guns, light cannon, bombs, depth charges. They are less vulnerable than laymen think, since helium is noninflammable. Airplane attack from above would be more or less ineffectual, unless their fire practically sawed off a section of the airship: some blimps can romp home despite a goodly number of bullet holes, despite losing as much as one-third of their gas volume. Such holes are easily patched, even in flight. And if the airplane swings...
