Now obviously if you have too little of a good thing you can also have too much.
There are many girls and men who develop prematurely. They become over-sexed and can think of nothing else.

Sex must be controlled if world is going to be a comfortable place for all of us. -
This state of over-sex is some- times caused by the pineal gland which is also situated under the

We are still finding out things about the pineal, and though treat- ment of the gland is at present rather difficult, we have produced results which encourage us to go

SNOWSTORMS
AND BRIGHT SUNSHINE Remarkable Vagaries Of. Easter Weather
Berlin "Enjoys" Four Seasons In A Day
Berlin, To-day.” The German capital experienced some remarkable vagaries of April weather during Easter Sun- day.
Bright sunny intervals were followed in quick suc- cession by blinding snowstorms, which at times assumed the aspect of wintry blizzards. The temperature fell to only five degrees above
freezing point.
Thousands of excursionists whot had trusted the weather prophets' predictions of a fine, warm Easter, were compelled to return home.
Crowds began in the early after- noon to flock back to Berlin with the result that all cafes and places of amusement were soon filled capacity.
SNOWFLAKES AND PETALS

Those who had ventured out to the famous cherry orchards at Wer- der, on the Havel, now in full bloom, witnessed the extraordinary specta- de of the air filled with huge snow- flakes and torn petals of blossoms:
Easter snowstorms are also re- ported from many other parts of northern Germany.
In Paris, Easter, as far as the weather was concerned, was bright though somewhat cool, says a mes- sage from the French capital
There was a big exodus of Pari-
siens to the country and to seaside resorts, but also a big infitx of provincials and foreigners.

MOTHER'S SACRIFICE
Mrs. Irene Laverty, a 30-year-old mother known in the small-com- munity of North Wales (Pennsyl- vania) for the beauty of her blue eyes, is prepared to sacrifice one of them for her two-year-old son. As a result of an attack of measles, he can be saved from total blindness only if a new cornea is transplant- ed to his infected left eye.
Mr. William Laverty, the father of the child, is a weaver who needs perfect vision to earn his liveli hood. My baby can have both my eyes if he needs them," the mother. said to-day, before leaving North Wales for New York, where a well- known specialist will perform the operation.
Cruisers For Scrap?
COUNTY
CLASS LESSON OF BALEARES
(By A Naval Correspondent)
The fast modem cruisers of the China Squadron, all recently re- fitted at heavy cost, may have to go to the scrap heap unless a better explanation than the ob- vious one is offered for the sink- mg of the Franco cruiser, Baleares.
Naval experts believe that in the light of the sinking, the rela- tive strengths of the various navies will have to be reassessed.
The Baleares and her sister ship the

protection against torpedo mine attacks."
How are the relative strengths of the fleets affected?
Britain has 15 cruisers of the County class to 87 destroyers, America 17 to 35, Japan, 12 to 66, France 7 to 26, Italy 7 to 43. (Britain has, in addition, 62 “over- age" destroyers, that is, more than 16 years old, and America 161.)
Britain has 12 battleships, America 15, Japan 9, France 5, Italy 4.
Although many other factors must be taken into consideration (submarines are only one), it would appear from a rough com- parison of cruiser-destroyer ratios, that the countries with most rea- son for anxiety over the sinking of the Baleares are America and France. Italy has least reason for anxiety.
