*A product of the Lamp Division, Westinghouse Electric Corp., Bloomfield, N. J.
Now sun lovers can bathe to their hearts' content, thanks to the new Fluorescent Sun Lamp* recently developed by Westinghouse.
Five times more efficient than any other sun lamp, with a life 4 times longer, this new discovery costs less to buy and less to use.
So inexpensive is it to operate that farmers are investigating its use in farm buildings. Preliminary studies show that benefits to poultry from the ultraviolet radiations it pro- duces are: Increased egg production; larger eggs with greater Vitamin D content; stronger shells; greater hatchability of eggs; rickets in baby chicks eliminated; and increased rate of growth in small chicks and pullets.
In a test case still under way, the increase
in egg production that has taken place was enough to pay for the sun lamp equipment in approximately three months.
While benefits obtained by calves, hogs and other farm animals have not all been determined, it is believed from experience so far that results will lead to extensive applica- tion of this lamp as a farm productive tool.
Westinghouse research pays many divi- dends. To industry, by developing cost-cut- ting equipment ... to the public, by making available products that lead to better living . . . and by maintaining demand for its products that keep men and machines busy.
All of these things happen because so many people know ... G-1o103

Prosser's Compartive 4nimal Phypsiology 1. This new work is a comparative study of the physiological and bio-
chemical characteristics of animals. Sueh physiological comparison helps clarify the general evolutionary relationships of organisms.
2. The material is organized on a functional rather than on a phylo- genetic basis. This type of arrangemnent does away with nmuch uni- necessary duplication.
3. A considerable amount of original research and a number of new theories are presented here for the first time. Suggestions for fur- ther research are made frequently. The bibliography of 3800 refer- ence items on comparative physiology is the most complete that has ever appeared in the English language.
4. The book will make an ideal text for courses in Comparative Physiol- ogy where the students have a background in zoology and mammalian physiology. It will also serve very well as a reference souree for all teachers and investigators in the biological sciences.

REGISTER NOW for the Cleveland Meeting of the AAAS
AVOID CONGESTION AND DELAY GET YOUR GENERAL PROGRAM -
BY FIRST CLASS MAIL - EARLY IN DECEMBER
Registration in advance of arrival at the 117th Annual Meeting of the AAAS in the downtown hotels of Cleveland, December 26-30, 1950, has so many advantages that we wonder why almost everyone doesn't take this sim- ple step. For instance:
1. You avoid congestion and delay at the Registration Desks in busy foyers at time of arrival. All indications point to a large attendance since all of the Association's seventeen sections and subsections, and more than forty societies, will have sessions with excellent programs and there will be a number of important symposia.
2. You receive the General Program early in December in ample time, un- hurriedly to decide among the events and the sessions that you wish to attend.
3. Your name and hotel address will be in the enlarged Visible Directory the first hour of the first day of the meetings, since it will be posted in Washington as soon as processed.
4. Advance Registrants will have the same privileges of receiving a map and directory of points of interest of Cleveland, literature, radio broad- cast tickets, etc. At the convenience of Advance Registrants, these will be distributed from the Main Registration in the Public Auditorium- the location of the Annual Science Exposition, the Visible Directory, and the Science Theatre. Admission to the splendid series of latest scientific films will be free to all Registrants.
At the 1949 Meeting, the Council of the AAAS voted overwhelmingly to continue Advance Registration. To insure its prompt receipt, the General Program will be sent by first class mail December 1-4, 1950-which is also the closing date for Advance Registration.
