KPH1KNKSI.H IS the theory that development starts from a structureless cell and consists in the successive formation and ad dition of new parts that do not pre-exist in the fertilized egg. Wlachl discussed two classes of epigenetic factors. One class, he said, consists of reactions issuing from the chro mosomal genes, which direct em bryonic differentiation by way of inductor systems. A second af fords the possibility of altering the course of development by either supporting or opposing certain elements of the sequences normally established in the first class. , Hormones and other chemical effectors, temperature and spe cific metabolic conditions arc some of the tools that have served In the experimental manipulation of sex differentiation, Wise hi added.

Surely if women choose to have coffee breaks at Intervals when they find :t renovating to discontinue studying for a few minutes, they should not be grudge the changing of their clothes six or seven times a day so that, they may enter the SU under favorable merit in the eyes of their fellowmen.
