...square miles to Germany, and at most the Demands would bring in another 1,000 square miles.

The Demands insisted that by October 1-precisely eight days after the last meeting at Godesberg -all Czechoslovak armed forces, gendarmerie, police, customs officials and frontier guards be withdrawn from the areas which Dictator Hitler red-inked. While neither German nor Czechoslovak armed forces would be permitted in plebiscite areas while the voting took place on or before November...
Last fortnight in The Lancet, Drs. Deanesly & Parkes reported the results of experiments made on the hunch. They anesthetized five immature male guinea pigs, made slits in their skins, pushed a disc-shaped ovarian hormone tablet, weighing from eight to 16 milligrams, into each slit, and stitched up the incision. There was no local reaction but a tight coat of connective tissue began to grow around the tablets. After six months the guinea pigs' male sex organs had atrophied, their rudimentary male mammary glands had become greatly enlarged. The tablets were then removed, dried, weighed. It was found that...

Modern and traditional architecture came slam-bang into dramatic contrast last week between the covers of LIFE. On eleven double-page spreads appeared eight plans for houses, four by "modern"' architects arrayed against four by "traditional"' architects, each pair designed to meet the needs and income of an actual U. S. family. By this presentation LIFE hoped: 1) to inform its readers of how easily any family earning from $2,000 to $10,000 a year can build an efficient, pleasant home; 2) to poll its readers on the relative popularity of the two types of home building...
After researching four representative U. S. families, LIFE invited top-flight architects to draw plans for them. From a lay point of view all eight houses appeared eminently practical and livable,* but in looks the moderns seemed to excel...
