Near Easterners quivered with excitement at palavers scheduled for this week, as the two swarthy strong men gripped hands in Ankara, the King of Kings gorgeous in a Persian uniform blazing with jeweled orders.

They and all the rats of their generations were as big, sleek and fertile as well-fed oldsters. To show people who would not believe their ears, Dr. Rowntree brought two perforated cardboard boxes to a meeting of the Philadelphia County Medical Society last week. Each box contained a litter of four-day-old rats. In one, the pink, hairless, blind, toothless, throbbing blobs were children...
