manager.
The local yard has q capacity Of
100000 feet of lumber and there is
usually that much kept in stock. Be

top brick on the chimney can be
had at the yards.
The company maintains ten trucks

20 men.
Brewer. the manager OF the yards

OF course you come out of it

that you have been held up and
robbed Of peace and quiet for no
good reason excepting to be
audience for some one who wished
to wallow in misery.
It Is this after thought, sup

IL you're good natured you per-

There is no reason why you

havior.
When the vas deferehs or ex.
cretory duct of the gonad is liga'
tured, the spermatogonia are said,
but not proved, to atrophy; the
germ-cells cannot, of course, be
discharged and consequently the
individual Is sterile. But as long
as the Leydig cells are intact
sex life is unimpaired. This is
the basis of the famous operation
of Stomach, and is based on two
assumptions: that legation of the
vas deferens increases Leydig cell
growth; that it causes the sperma-
togonia apparatus to atropny'
Neither Of these assumptions Is
vet proved; in fact, Oslund asserts
that both assumptions are con-
trary to fact, that vasectomy pro-
duces no testicular changes and
cannot be looked upon as
method of causing rejuvenescence.
When gonads are transplanteo

dividual maintains sex life as

CHAPTER %

TlHE male gonads contain sper-
j matogonia. These develop
into germ-cells and fertilize the
ovum. This involves two factors:
The ovum is stimulated to de-
yelop; the male inheritance IL
afforded a vehicle. The gonad
performs this function through
external secretions. But as the
sperfaatogonia themselves are
cells early set aside in embryonic
DEVELOPMENT and are not products
OF chemical change as are the
secretions Of other duct glands.
the gOnads in their reproductive
functions are not comparable TO
other glands. They, as the
ovaries, are arsenals where am.
munition for life is cultivated.
Between the cell clusters where
spermatogonia develop are other
groups of cells, the interstitial
cells of Leydig. These cells APP

cells are unaffected or may in
