...upon his refusal of mercy to two women? In an effort to explain, an excited editor of the New York Daily News conjectured that evidently Adolf Hitler is no "pervert like some of his pals but . . . he is merely a neuter-a being who is apparently devoid of any sex feelings at all. . . . Hitler didn't execute the alleged head of this particular spy plot, the Polish Baron Sosnowski. . . . He was simply afraid to do that, in view of reprisals that would surely be taken in Poland. He had to content himself with taking two of the boss...
...Prentice lay the blame for confusion and low milk output. The science of genetics is no older than the 20th Century, and it has been pursued mainly with laboratory animals-fruit flies, guinea pigs, mice, paramecia. It is not surprising that the average cattleman should never have heard of sex-linkage, crossing over, multiple allelomorphism, or know that inheritance is a complex mechanism controlled by genes, invisible unit carriers of hereditary characters...

The late Jeanne Eagels played Sadie Thompson, the raffish trollop, up to the hilt, and after the play had run two years on Broadway she was established as one of the U. S. theatre's legendary great...
...world, Mrs. Sanger last August went to Russia. What she saw there caused her pertly to warn Joseph Stalin and other virile Russians: "Abortions make women nervous. It is common knowledge that the practice of abortion, if it becomes a habit, can do considerable harm to woman's sex life. Neuroses may develop and these in turn may result in frigidity. In this country woman is no longer economically dependent on man. If she becomes frigid, she will not be dependent on him in any other way and, in fact, will no longer be interested in him.
