EXPERIMENTS to discover the effect hard work has on men of various races and ages are at present being carried out by the Dr. C. J. Oliveiro, of biochemistry department of the King Edward VII College of Medicine, in Singapore..

The particular type of hard work chosen in the blochemistry laboratory for the tests is pedalling a bicycle- engometer with a strap applied to the raised back wheel.

The work can be regulated to

"medium" or "hard" "light",

the means of weights attached to strap which "brakes" the back wheel, The effect of the work is measured by the amount of oxygen burned during a minute of the exercise.

Sample Of Air

A mask is applied to the worker's face, and every time he exhales the air is carried into canvas bag.

A Chinese man who was doing "medium" work nearly filled the bag in the minute allowed. The air was then taken away for analysis.
