that If the war game disclosed any

was better not to have the world know

is remarkable how complex mans me-

other devices are necessary to replace
satisfactorily the simple life processes

plain the failures sometimes recorded
with incubators, lay particular stress
on the necessity of daily turning the
eggs, manipulation which the faith
full hen instinctively performs. A Chi
