Chiefly on account of the many germs that may cause lung infections (pneumonia) the devising of an efficacious serum is very difficult. Too many of the micro-organisms are vastly elusive. But Dr. Park has made considerable progress, hopes for more...
Wildiers discovered over 20 years ago that the micro-organisms of yeast will grow rapidly in beer wort, but not in artificial media. He called the unknown agent of growth "bios" in a book called La Cellule. In 1916 Dr. Williams suggested that the substance previously called Vitamin B was identical with Wildiers' "bios." Extracts of some substances known to be rich in B stimulate yeast growth, and many substances have been tested for yeast stimulation as a means of measuring their B content...
...from a standpoint of efficiency. A bricklaying contractor for a number of years, himself, he made an intensive study of this art, with the result that the rate of bricklaying was doubled. Mr. Gilbreth has investigated almost every branch of work with the same result. He has invented the micro-motion and chronocyclegraph processes for determining the fundamental units and methods of industrial education. Before a special background fitted with a dial to record the time element, Mr. Gilbreth's expert assistant photographs the best workers in each trade to illustrate their methods. At 4.45 today at the Hotel Brunswick...

...French Academy. He objects to the idea that the origin of sex differences is to be found in differences in the male cells only, and claims that both the spermatozoon and the ovum have activating " microcellules." These seek their complement in the other sex cell, but if the male micro-cellules preponderate in number over the female the result will be a male embryo, and vice versa. But Alich also believes that various other factors affect this potential energy of the germ cell, including potency, fatigue, old age, and has evidence for this from horses, sheep and roosters. Dr. James...
