...salt solution and a preservative chemical, stored under refrigeration to await use. To make a Falls test, a small amount of the colostrum preparation is injected into a woman's forearm. If she is not pregnant, a reddish weal will appear. If she is pregnant she will not react. Theory is that pregnant women, secreting colostrum of their own, are immune to injections of it from a foreign source...
...second and third lines react under fire will have a lot to do with the game's outcome. Hodder's dependable first trio of Willetts, Burgy Ayres, and George Duane, can be depended on to give a good account of itself, but the way the other two lines perform will be a question mark until the end of the game. If the Sophomores keep on showing the improvement that has been manifest in recent games, and if Gordie McGrath's legs hold up, the Crimson will not give a bad account of itself...

...Balkans. In November 1939 and January 1940 Germany used threats of invasion against the Low Countries to find out how those countries would react to actual invasion. For the same purpose Germany kept the Balkans in a state of jitters last week. By displaying her Army across the Danube, by spreading rumors and feeding correspondents scare stories, the Germans have already learned that there is no fight in Bulgaria. Last week they turned the heat on Yugoslavia. Rumors spread that Germany had demanded the use of Yugoslav railways for the transport of equipment to Albania, that large German forces were...
