May Produce SteriIity

Diethylstilbesterol is synthetic es-
trogenic substance that produces the
same reaction in a COW as the natural
estrogenic hormone. If prospective
breeding COW receives 10 mig. of die
thylStilbeSterOl in her feed daily (the
amount recommended for fattening an
imalS) for a period of time, the deli
cate hormonal relationship in the
cow will be thrown out of balance. This
will result in sterility, perhaps abortion
in early pregnancy, and suppression
of milk production. The sterility thus
produced may be of permanent nature.
A cow at Montana State College was
injected with 10 mig. diethystilbesterol
every third day for period of two
months. The COW developed numerous
cysts on the ovaries. The cysts, in turn,
produced more estrogenic hormones.
The increased output of estrogenic hor-
mones produced nymphomania and
that COW was hopelessly sterile.
Large doses of ethyIstilbesterol over
period of time leads to suppression
of activity of the pituitary and other
glands. This, in turn, has been reported
as being responsible for excess calcifi-
cation of the bones resulting in inter-
ference of the production of red cells
in the bone marrow, thus producing
anemia So, don't overfeed this product
and don't feed it to any other cattle,
but fattening cattle.

Cumulative Effect

The continued administration of es-
trogenic hormones has a cumulative
effect. This would tend to increase the
effect on breeding animals.
Scientific experimentation has shown
another way to increase gains, save
feed and reduce feed costs in fattening
cattle. There is just one way to take
advantage of this new knowledge. That
is to apply this knowledge to practical
feeding of fattening cattle exactly as
your reputable feed manufacturer rec
Ommends. If you do, you will reap the
rewards of the results of this research.
If you don't, we'll, we can say, IT
told you so!'

| July 3, i've ships left British
ports with the greatest combined
load Of treasure ever transported
by land or sea.
Under command Of Admiral
Sir Ernest Russell Archer. this
convoy carried approximately
SITS million worth Of gold bullion.
lplus 299 boxes Of securities--a
total value Of about sl,750 mil
lion.
In the two previous weeks "a
allied ships totaling $4,000 tons
had been destroyed by the
enemy.
Three-fourths Of the way
across. an engine defect slowed
down one Of the ships, the Ba-
tory, which was diverted for st.
Johns. along with another Of the
convoy. the Bonayenture. In q
fog, the two vessels were stopped
dead-while carrying. between
them, some $3.50 million in bull
lion. But all the ships arrived
safely.
Five special trains were needed

from Halifax to Ottawa. The
gold was 50 heavy that only $50

each cars floor. Each train had
ITO TO il loaded baggage cars;
q diner and two sleeping cars
were added for about so railway
land Canadian National Express
guards. Two guards, on four
hour shifts, were locked with
the bullion inside each car.
In Ottawa the Canadian Ma
Itional Railroad arranged so the
gold could be trucked from the
lstatioin at night to the Bank Of
Canada on Wellington Street.
Who could imagine that this
Ifive-story structure, with scarce
Ily a 140-foot frontage, was soon
Ito be Fort Knox's only important
rival anywhere in the world?
Sacks Of Rare Coins
Besides the bullion, the vault
lat one time held over $4,000
sacks Of gold coins from many
countries. There were millions
lof worid-famous French Napo-
Icons, countless other coins
stamped with the profiles Of
Louis XVI. Louis XIV, Louis XIV.
British gold sovereigns ranged
from George v and Queen Vic
toria through George MS rare
spade guineas" to souvenirs Of
|Elizabethan times. There were
quantities of modern and old
Dutch coins, great numbers of
Maria Theresa gold thalers,
thousands Of Scandinavian and
other European gold pieces.

the total Of boxes OF securities
Iup to nearly 1000 Mr.. Craig's
lstaH worked 1O-hour days, SIX
days a week. The securities were
| q gigantic hodgepodge Of thou
sands Of separately owned is
sues: all had to be unpacked,
checked and classified. In the
end. some 1000 different stocks
and bonds were identified, In
Icluding virtually every 'fblue
chip listed.
In his war memoirs Sir Win
Iston says laconicaliy that: "Up
to November 1910 we had al
ready sold $335 million worth OF
American shares, requistioned for
sterling from private owners in
Britain"
After the treasury's repre-
lsentatives sold the securities
the former owners were repaid
lat whatever the current market
Iprices had been---but they were
obliged to accept payment In
sterling rather than dollars. In
that way Britain obtained
masses OF additional dollars for
war purchases.
How much had all the se-
lcurities been worth? Three
highly placed authorities. closely
concerned, agree in inde-
Ipendently estimating the de-
posts overall value at approx
lmately IS billion.
The gold, as well as securities,
kept on arriving. In the three
months Of June. July and Au-
gust the Admiralty's records
show that British ships with q
few Canadian and Polish) car

States gold worth more than
$2.556 million.

To open the vault door two

Iunfiinching gray-blue eyes. "The
reports were correct. When we
turned out into the Atlantic We
were punching into q heavy sea
and q rising gale"
Subs Lie in Wait
A couple Of German subs were
reported waiting for the cruiser.
The odds grew longer as the
weather grew worse. The gale
cut down the speed Of the es-
|corting destroyers.
But the ocean got rougher and
rougher. It cut the destroyers'
pace so much that Capt. Flynn
decided to travel alone. I'VE

treasure ship was safely at her

Waiting beside the dock was q
special train with a dozen bag
gage cars. On hand were officials
of the Bank of Canada and the
Canadian National Express.
At Z PM the gold train rolled
away. AT Montreal the secur-
ity-bearing cars were cut of: the
gold cargo sped on to Ottawa.
This was the train which David
Mansur and Sidney Perkins met
in Montreal. Where could the

At S pm. on July 2. 1870. II
days after Paris fell to the Nazi
blitz. q special train pulled into
Bonayenture station. Montreal
Waiting to meet the train were
David Mansur. acting secretary
Of the Bank Of Canada. and Sid
ney j. Perkins Of the Foreign
Exchange Control Board. Both
men knew that the train car
ried secret cargo under the code
name Of Fish" But only Mr.
Mansur knew that they were
about to walk into the middle Of
the biggest financial gamble ever
made by any nation in peace
or war.
Mr.. Mansur and Mr.. Perkins
were led through the guards into
one Of the coaches. There they
met Alexander S. Craig of the
Bank Of England.
Hope you won't mind our
dropping in Unexpectedly like

fact is, we brought along quite

It could mean only that the

take over virtually everything
Britain possessed which could be
turned into dollars.
Desperate Gamble
Two weeks earlier, when the
fall Of France threatened Great
Britain with imminent invasion,
Winston Churchill had called his
cabinet into secret session and
had decided on the desperate
gamble Of transporting over 81
billion worth Of securities and
gold to Canada.
The shipments would first have
TO get through the submarine
infested North Atlantic. but once
safely In Canada they would be
used to pay for the war goods
Britain desperately needed. CThis

should succeed. the British woulC
carry on the war from Canada.
The prime need was for Sc
lcrecy. Any leak to the Nazis
would not only endanger the
shipments but would also greatly
laffect British morale.
A farsighted move at the wars
outset made the whole gamble
possible: All British citizens In
the United Kingdom had been
required to register with the
treasury all the foreign securi-
tiles they owned. Never before
had the investments of q nations
private citizens been pre-empted
for national defense without
first securing consent from the
owners.
Generations Of Profit
Here were all the vast profits
brought to England by genera

Iand investors. Together with
tons Of Britain's empire-accumu-
lated gold, they would now be
sent across the sea.

MeKeIdin Signs Bill
Turning Commission
Over 10 Democrats
By Gene Goodwin
Stor sfoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. IL
Thanks to the signature of Re-
publican Gov. McKeldin, Demo-
Gratis will regain control of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission on June l.
The Governor last night
signed into law Democratic act
of the Maryland Legislature,
increasing the commission from
three to six members and localiz-
ing its control in the hands of
the Montgomery County Council
and the Prince Georges County
commissioners. two completely
Democratic bodies.
The Governor apparently de-
cided it would be futile to veto
the bill and make fight to save
the three Republicans he ap-
pointed to the commission. The
Democrats have enough votes in
both the House and Senate to
override vetoes.
Mr.. McKeldin can, if he
wishes. reappoint two of the
three incumbent commissioners.

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 11.-A pro-
posed investigation of the State
Roads Commission has failed
for a second time to clear the
Senate but still burned as a
lively issue in the General As
sembly.
Democratic leaders indicated
they weren't giving up the idea
of pushing through a bill which
has been buffeted around by the
Senate for more than a month.
And a group Of House Demo-
Gratis, impatient with Senate
stalling, launched their own
measure for a study of the SRC.
The Senate bill calling for a
$50, 900 study by the Legislature
of SRC practices fell one vote
short for a second time Of get

Senator Della's associates said
he had flown to Florida for a
meeting of an insurance firm
board Of which he is a member.
The vote on final passage was
1913 after Senator Turnbull, at
the last minute. switched his
vote to those of the opponents
for what he termed obvious
reasons"
BY voting on the side of the
majority he can have the bill
reconSidered within two legis-
latiye days. He said afterward
he would bring it up again per-
haps today, if he can have Della
on hand.
The House bill. sponsored by
five Democrats, would have the
roads commission investigated by
the Fiscal Research Bureau in
stead Of a committee of legis-
lators. 1t would provide $50. 900
to hire consultants to do the job.
