Yes. Psychologist Rudolph
LasSner secured the reactions of
over 300 boys and girls of around
16, and many adult men and

He found that after the show
the boys and men talked almost
entirely about the male actors,

the actresses. Not only was this
true, but IN planning TO attend

other day. The talk finally got
around 10 Gen. MarShall's well
known aplomb. Out Of the dis
cussion came an amazing but
true story.
Gen. Marshall had managed
10 get all the money out OF Con-
gress that the sponsors of the
atomic bomb hought was
needed for the great expert
ment. The appropriation was
believed sufficient TO cover
every possible contingency.
One day, after the experiment
had been well under way. he
received a visit from Mai. Gen.
Leslie r. Groves. head Of the
atomic bomb project. Gen. Mar
shall appeared TO be very busy.
He kept Gen. Groves waiting
while he wrote something in
longhand and addressed an en-
velope.
He put the paper in the enve-
lope and carefully sealed II.
Inasmuch as Marshall did the
whole thing himself instead Of
calling in a secretary. Groves
assumed il was matter of the
utmost military secrecy.
At last Marshall turned 10 his
visitor and asked what he could
do for him. Gen. Groves blurted:
1T looks as if Ill need more
money"
How much?" asked Gen.
Marshall.
About 500, 900 900"
Gen. Marshall didn't raise an
eyebrow. He looked at the cell

We'll. we're in this thing so
deep now we can't let it drop.
If YOU must have another S100.-

Gen. Groves thanked him and
started to leave. Gen. Marshall
called him back.

EFTEEN YEARS ago, cancer
starting in the lungs was
considered a rare disease be-
cause our methods of diagnosis
had not advanced as far as they
have today. But now with more
modern methods we know that
y occurs about as often as can
ce~ Of the stomach. The largest
number OF cases are found IN
persons between 40 and 90 years
OF age and the disease Is four
times as frequent in men as IN
women.
The symptoms and signs in
cancer of the lung are not cndr-
5aeeFis,.e.. By that - .:Fcant
that they are like those which
occur in a number Of other dis
orders. The most frequent
symptom is cough. The next IS

breath and pain in the chest.
Quite frequently the cough is
attributed by the physic's1 10
excessive smoking. Sine IN
many instances there may be
such symptoms as pain IN the
abdomen. sickness 10 the Ston-
ach and vomiting. and tired
feeling, the attention o! the pa-

lungs.
THE findings on examination,
l. as well as the symptoms,
may vary according to whcre
