GERS, the investigators reported,

body chemicals, hormones. Sc
creted by the ovaries. These, in
turn. are stimulated by hor-
mones from the pituitary. Their
growth can be restricted greatly
by removal OF the ovaries or,
as these experiments showed. by
administration of certain drugs.
One OF these is 3-methyl-
cholanthrene. given either by
mouth or muscular injection.
The drug was given the rats
daily for so days. The result
was that transplanted neoplasms
grew much more slowly.
Other breast cancers. however,
are much more malignant. their
growth is more rapid. and they
are not affected by removal OF
the ovaries. The drug only
slightly retarded their growth.
But when II was combined with
another drug, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
which is related to one Of the
male hormones. there was a
profound depression OF these
malignant tumors.

ministered for SO days TO nom

SAFETY COUNCIL REPORTS
Fewer Industrial Accidents and
Fewer Days Lost During July

There were fewer industrial ac-
cidents and fewer days lost be-
cause of accidents in July than in
any other month this year in the
SO plants and laboratories taking
part in the Inter Plant Safety
Contest of the Delaware Safety
Council, it was reported this week
by Francis ]. Jamison, the coun-
ellis assistant manager.
Lost time accidents in July num-
bered an even dozen and days lost
added up to 1868. In June there
were 20 accidents and 6,440 days
lost-indicating the accidents were
severe that month.
The July accidents occurred
among 3O,657 employees who
worked 1927, ,S91 man hours. The
accident frequency rate came to
2.44 as compared with the June
frequency rate of 3.88. The sew
Gritty rate in July was 1857 as
contrasted with the June rate of
1249.21.
In July alone, 70 plants out of
the SO reported no accidents.
Only 81 plants and laboratories

have gone through the first seven
months of the year without lost
time accident.
With the July figures added in,
the cumulative totals for the first
seven months show the SO plants
and Laboratories had a total of 138
lost time accidents, while 1851
employees worked a total of &c.
906,330 man hours. The accident
frequency rate for the period was
3.74, a little lower than the fire.
quency rate of $40 for the first
six months. The rate is one mil
lion times the number of lost
time accidents, divided by the
hours worked.
The 1873 accidents resulted in
22,03S days lost in the seven
months. The total of days lost,
multiplied by one million and di-
vided by the hours worked pro-
duced the accident severity rate.
For the seven months, it was
597.13, a decrease from the rate
of 660.19 for the first six months,
but far above the. rate of 1898
for all of 1856.
