...newsmen trooped into Ed Stettinius' office to test the new businesslike effectiveness. Stettinius was cordial, as always. He was also mum as a clam. The correspondents probed and pounced, trying one approach after another, but to no avail. The New Dealing New York Post's William O. Player asked: "Does the U.S. attitude depend on Churchill?" Replied Ed Stettinius: "No comment." To all questions, he returned the same answer. Finally, the Chicago Sun's exasperated Tom Reynolds remarked tartly: "It seems to be possible to be more frank in London." Once again, Stettinius purred an amiable...
Pregnandiol is a female sex hormone, and the amount of it in a woman's urine diminishes markedly toward the end of the monthly cycle-unless pregnancy intervenes. By finding an easy way to test for pregnandiol, Dr. Henry S. Guterman of Chicago has found what is by all odds the fastest test for pregnancy urine yet discovered. He merely adds sulfuric acid to a urine extract and waits about three hours to see if it turns orange color-indicative of pregnancy. Dr. Guterman reported his method in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology Supplement. He claims that his test...
...still too tight. Furthermore, U.S. beet-sugar growers harvested only 1,100,000 tons this year-more than last year, but still a big 500,000 tons less than the 1942 crop. Also, in 1944 about 900,000 tons of Cuban production were diverted from sugar to high-test molasses for industrial alcohol...
...used it in horse-breeding in the 14th Century and the Russians have used it on a big scale in cattle-raising since the late Tsars. But there has been little precise data on the results. Six years ago Dr. Bartlett and his group launched the first carefully controlled test of the economic advantages of artificial cow-breeding. It now includes 1,800 dairymen and 14,000 cows...
...experimenters used bulls of superior milk-producing strains and a standardized technique to produce "artificial" calves. They found that a test group of 120 "artificial" cows produced 9% more milk and 14% more butterfat than their mothers, which were all above-average producers. Their average production-8,557 lbs. of milk in 305 days-was nearly twice the U.S. average per cow. Dr. John H. Beattie, technician in charge of Bartlett's group No. 1 at Clinton, N.J., has said that a single servicing from a bull, diluted with egg yolk and sodium phosphate, can be used to inseminate...
