Inheritance of cancer of the breast does not follow genetic rules. Men whose mothers or maternal grandmothers had this type of cancer rarely transmit the tendency to their daughters. To daughters of women who have had cancer of the breast Dr. Little gave this advice: "Virginity delays the appearance of cancer of the breast and also actually reduces the amount of it appreciably...
...Much? Franklin Roosevelt's reason for including no relief estimates in his budget message last January was that, given a two-months' delay, he could transmit estimates with "far greater knowledge and accuracy." Last week his knowledge and accuracy were still definitely vague to many a Congressman. He pointed out that more than $1,000,000,000 allotted for this year's public works and other projects would not be spent until those projects were completed in fiscal 1937. Next year's regular budget carries about $600,000,000 for various public works and Civilian Conservation...
Pipe. Promise of solving the distance problem lies in the "coaxial cable" developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories of American Telephone & Telegraph Co. Consisting essentially of a pair of copper tubes with a bare wire running through the centre of each, this cable can transmit 240 telephone messages or 20 to 40 telegrams simultaneously and was primarily designed for such purposes. But it can also handle a radio frequency band 1,000,000 cycles wide-enough to carry the fluctuating light & shadow of television. The possibility therefore arose of "piping" television from city to city underground. A. T. & T. applied...
Apparatus. The two rival electronic scanners which have left other rivals behind are the Farnsworth dissector tube and the iconoscope developed by RCA-Victor's famed Vladimir Kosma Zworykin. Both are good enough to transmit 6-by-8- in. images with the clarity of oldtime cinemas. The pictures are, in effect, divided into hundreds of horizontal lines and scanned line by line; 24 to 30 complete pictures are transmitted in a second...
...Thomas Hunt Morgan, examined the data, looked at the jars of fruit flies, stared down the microscopes, announced his conversion. Since then there has been little doubt among geneticists that the chromosomes in the germ cells are the theatres of heredity, that the ultimate agents, called genes, which transmit unit characters, occupy definite and fixed positions along the spindly, crooked chromosomes. Since then fame has come to Dr. Morgan and his flies, and to some of his early laboratory helpers, notably to affable, shock-haired Calvin Blackman Bridges of the Carnegie Institution of Washington...
