An interesting survey was recently con- ducted of a middle western American. city of more than half a million people, to find out where the buying public received its inspiration for their purchasing. The question was asked what form of advertising influenced them most-magazine, street car, billboard or newspaper. In order to be fair, newspapers were put at the end of the list. The results were as follows:

Confirmations in 1020 were only 200,566 as against 291,091 in the preceding year. The stondy de crease that has been in progress since 1923, when the total was 238, 127, has thus been continued. The figuroa concerning baptisms are equally disconcerting. The number in 1025 was 447,964; last year it was 466,913, a falling off of more than 11,000. Easter com- municants in 1926 totalled 2,372, 610, ns against 2,388,419 in 1926, a falling off of 15,809.
Sunday Schools.. Sunday school scholars totalled 1,861,336 in 1926, as compared with 1,895,763 the previous year, a de- crease of more than 30,000. At tendances at Bible classes show in 1920 a falling off of more than 10,000.
It is interesting to know that the length of prenatal life in man and in the higher apes la approxi- mately 280 days, whereas in the lower apes it is 220 days. An thropologists are inclined to be lieve that the 60 days difference is required for the growth of the brain and head of man, which are the parts of man that differentiate him from the lower animals.

Yunnan-fu, Jan. 26. Latest reports revoal that the Government troops, under Generai Long Yun, are mocting with a fair measure of success in their efforts to rout the rebel troops of General Teang and Hu and to drive back the Kwelchow forces into their own province.
The Government troops hav not only captured the rebel strong- hold of Klu Tseng, forcing the re- bellious Generals back, but have also pushed the Kwelchow troops over the frontier, where tw strong bridge-heads have now been established as a preliminary step to carrying the war into their own province.

Dry Heat, Brown Colouring. Where the hent Is of the dry type, there is a tendency toward brown colturing. It is likely that the earliest men had pigmented skins, since thories have been developed to account for the de pigmentation of later types.
Part of this resulted from travel. into districts of lessened heat. An additional factor suggested by one observer is the fact that persons who travel north would change to a diet containing a considerable amount of salt and salted foods, and that this had to do also with the disappearance of pigmentation of the skin.
In his discussion of the sub- ject, Prof. Fleure points out that the fairest skinned. Europeans have a high power of heat evapor- ation and an activity of body and mind to town conditions.
This type is free from serious tuberculosis when it remains in the country, but is prone to the discase when depressed into in- dustrial conditions. The character of the skin and hair is itself an indication of the general consti- tution,
