...ordinary child. As a result when the twins were sent home for good, "conditioned" Johnny was a fearless little acrobat with a personality far in advance of his years and "unconditioned"' Jimmy was just a plain laughing, crying, scary youngster (TIME, July 30). Last week Dr. Myrtle Byram McGraw, assistant director of the Normal Child Development Clinic where the Woods twins were under scientific control from their 20th day, explained: "Jimmy and Johnny have both, I think, lost out in their home environment and, while that is disappointing so far as these two particular children are concerned...

By putting orange shades on the windows of the Daily News Building he used them as a part of a vertical motif of alternating white and reddish stripes.
