carried out an extensive series of
experiments to determine whether
more air might not be pumped in
by some other method than that now
taught in all first-aid classes.
There Is nothing to be done about
it, he concluded. The brain center
still controls the elesaticity of the
muscles of the chest, and this elas-
ticity in turn determines how much
air can be pushed into the lungs.
Hence, he said, the present revival
method probably is the best that
ever will be invented.
Effect of Heat and Cold.
Both heat and cold affect women
more than men. Finding Of a def
mite relation between sex and tenn
perature in human beings was re-
ported to the academy by Drs.
Eugene F. Dubois and James d.
Hardy of the Russell Sage Institute
of Pathology.
The subjects, entirely nude. were
tested in device known as the
calorimeter, in which the tempera-
ture could be varied from az to IS
degrees centigrade and the results
measured with considerable ac-
curacy. At the cold level, the doc
tors found, the skin temperature of
women was approximately / degree
less on the average than that Of
men. At the highest level 1t was
2 degrees higher. Presumably q
woman would feel colder when it is
cold and warmer when it Is warm,
although psychological factors enter
into this SO much that no general
rule could be laid down.
The average heat loss from the
naked bodies of the women, it was
found, was slightly less than for the
men. On the other hand, 1t was
harder for heat from the outside

NEW YORK, Nov, 9.-The bond

urday trading since the middle of

United States Governments were
for sale only at substantial premiums
over Fridays prices. Treasury Is of

at which price its yield was less
than IL per cent to the nearest
callable date. Other Government
issues rose 2/32 to 1882 of a pont,
all on small volume.
Corporate bonds were a bit slow
In starting, but when the stock mar

other groups. although the utilities
had many friends.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Further
operating gains this year for de-
partment stores are forecast In a
new analysis appearing in Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
Both dollar and physical sales
volume will improve. Merchandise
selling prices have been advanced
enough to offset higher merchandise
costs. Inventories will probably be
expanded somewhat because of
threatened shortages. Relatively
large invested capital credits will
exempt most department stores
from excess profits taxes.
Department and speciality stores
will be subject to moderately higher
Federal income taxes this year, in
view of the recent increase in the
normal corporation rate to "a per
cent, as compared with the 18 per
cent rate effective in 1899" con-
tinues the analysis. "Reflecting
Enthusiastically large invested
invested capital funds in relation
to sales volume, 13 representative
department stores earned an aver
age return of only As per cent on
invested capital in the fiscal years
1936-1939 inclusive. Only 6 out of
% department and specially stores
are at all subject to excess profits
taxes.
Unreasonable weather prevailing
in many parts of the country dur
ing early 1910 months retarded re-
tail trade, but department store
sales in the first 40 weeks of the
current year were 5 per cent above
volume in the corresponding 1899
interval. Sales in September, 1910,
recorded a somewhat leSs-than-
usual seasonal rise. October de-
partment store sales may also reg
lister a less than seasonal gain. Con-
Scription, the national election, and
religious holidays early in October
caused some deferment of consumer
buying. However, department store
dollar volume during November and
December 1910, should surpass the
highest levels recorded in the same
months since 1929.
Consumer purchasing power has
already benefited from the rise in
industrial activity, and intensified
rearmament efforts should provide
additional stimulation. Approx
mately 10000 persons found en-
ployment during September, 1910
Consumer buying power will expand
further as additional workers are re-
employed by industry. Tentatively,
a national income of about S73,-
0O0000,0O0 is estimated for 1910,
or an increase of approximately
SO 900 900 900 over 1889 income. A
substantial part of this increase is
expected to be spent for retail mer-
chandise," the analysis concludes.
