In CeylOn there = a local tradition
that all male children born of white par
ents have abnormal strength of the right
wrist. and a slight inherited calloSity of
the left elbow. This is supposed to be
due to their parents having wrested their
left elbows on bar-counters for so many
hours Of their lives; the development Of
