Mitchell's friends here said they would present to the board testimony of Secretary Weeks, Admiral Hilary Jones and Capt. Alfred Johnson before the congressional committee February showing that the department's plans for an enlargement in proportions shall out of the air estimates.

Few Have Good Posture
Women's Physical Exams Show General Deficiencies
The women's physical examinations already taken this week show that only a very small percent of the women stand correctly, according to Miss Riva Cluff, director of the corrective department for women. Some of the most common deficiencies are hollacks, and the tendency to allow the right shoulder to deep lower than the left one. Many also have a flat backbone, one tone of the whole is good. All women with incorrect posture or foot trouble are put in the corrective class, so the defects can be improved.
The records of all examinations are being kept to see if there is any improvement next year over this period. The number of years cards has been done in last years.

Soderlund Addresses
Lawrence Rotary Club
on Scandinavian Life
Local Club Co-Operating in the International Promotion of Peace Plan
Prof. Gustav F. Soderland, of the School of Fine Arts, gave the first speech in a series being given before the Lawrence Rotary Club, at a conference on peace and war, was on Denmark and the Sengi-navian countries, and was part of a program to promote peace and understanding between nations being car-
In this endeavor the local Rotary club is corresponding with a Rotary club of foreign lands. In connection with Mr. Sodermur's speech a letter from a Rotary club in Copenhagen, Denmark, was read at the luncheon.
According to comment from members of the local club, Professor Soderlund presented a vivid picture of conditions in the Scandinavian countries. He said that Sweden at the time was in an advanced condition, and called attention to the great harbor in Gothenburg which has been developed since the war.
An account of the Scandinavian hospitality and the attractions for the tourist was included in the speech. In this connection Mr. Soderlund made reference to a sandwich table at which parties parted before going to tables for regular meals. This was started on steamship lines largely patronized by Germans, he said, but it in disembled failure. He would fill their hand bags with sandwiches and save the price of a meal.
Any youth in the middle or upper classes of a Scandinavian country would be immediately ostracized if he were found to have done any mental task such as sewing, playing basketball or swimming. The opportunities of boys are greatly limited, he said. An interesting account of the methods in the schools, colleges and athletic organizations was given. In these countries the poor are more likely to need a meal, one need a day, the latter amounting to about one-fifth of a cent.

Research Shows Insulin to Be Sulphur Compound
**(Science Service)**
Pasadena Institute, the well known remedy for diabetes, may be a compound of sulphur. This conclusion is indicated by research work done by Dr. John J. Abel and E. M. K. G. Melling at the California Institute of Technology, to investigate the role of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
Although a preparation of insulin from the pancreas of cattle has been in common use for three years, no chemist has yet succeeded in purifying and analyzing this notable substance.
In investigating chemical and other properties of insulin, the author were able to purify the commercial product until its potency was increased from three to five times. When this purified and concentrated insulin was treated with sodium carbonate, sulphur separated from the extract and the insulin lost its potency. The solution was dependent upon the presence of sulphur in its make-up for its power to remove the effects of diabetes.
As a result of this discovery the question arises whether or not the pancreas, which produces insulin, may be dependent upon a sufficient supply of sulphur in food for its ability to produce this hormone.
