The hens sound off almost as well as roosters and the experiments indicate that the hormone can be used to relieve humans, particularly men. of inferiority complexes. The hormone is testosterone. which already has been reported by physicians as giving aging men renewed Interest in and energy for their work. It is the principal male sex hormone but its most interesting effects have been non-sexual and not all confined to the aged.

The experiments were reported by W. C. Alice and N. E. Colllas of the University of Chicago in a paper entitled: "The effect of Injection of testos- ternone proplonate on the social order in nocks of hens." The hens were white leghorns.

These birds showed some extremely human-like traits of inferiority. It was found that some hens peck others and that those pecked never peck back. This sign of dominance appeared in each flock in almost military order. One or two birds become "top' hens which pecked all the others. Below were captains, sergeants and corporals which successively pecked smaller numbers, and finally one or two privates which never pecked anybody.

The hermone was injected into these hens in varying quantities. If a "private" received more than any other hen she pecked her way to the top. "The birds receiving the higher dosages," the report stated, "began to crow after a time."

Hopper, declaring he spoke for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, served notice Wednesday that majorities both houses of the legislature lave promised to "repeal the state civil service or amend it so you and I won't recognize it." Hopper, legislative representative Lansing for the VFW, voiced his assertion at a public hearing sponsored by the Michigan Merit System association, which was organized to lead the successful fight enact a civil service law in 1937. He charged the present law is un- 'air to former service men, and has loopholes that deprive state em- ployes of the protection to which are entitled after competing for their Jobs in written examinations. S3 Plan to Revise Law A questionnaire he circulated. Hopper said, indicated 83 of the 100 members of the incoming house of representatives were prepared to support any move to rewrite the civil service law. He said they favored granting service men a bonus in the point scoring in competitive examinations and extending similar benefits to widows or children of disabled service men.

He declared the VFW, American Legion, Spanish-American War Veterans and Disabled War Veterans would participate in a Joint conference next month to prepare a final draft of the service-men's demands. Already, he said, they have agreed to insist that provisions of the veterans preference act suspended by civil service be restored; that an additional 10 to 15 points in scoring the best papers of service men taking civil service tests, be awarded automatically, instead of the present regulation under which a veteran must obtain a passing grade to benefit from the extra points; and to demand the right of appeal first to a board of review, then to the supreme court, for ex-soldiers dismissed from civil service Jobs. Womld Provide for Appeal In addition, he said, the veterans demand that any state employe who has passed a civil service test be permitted to appeal from dismissal. The law now provides no avenue of appeal. Dr.

Ernest Harper, of East Lansing, a member of the merit association's executive committee, commented on activities of "pressure groups." Hopper replied: "I believe the state owes the veterans an obligation and a debt which public policy dictates it should fulfill." Further criticism of the present law came from Frank Wade, representing the Michigan Conference of Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers. He charged wage rates provided by the civil service department were too low. and that they did not compare with the wages allowed by the WPA. He said he disapproved of the present method of grading civil service test papers, asserting union men of 15 to 20 years' experience have failed to pass the state tests. He asserted a foreman with 10 years' experience with a large construction company was classified by the civil service department as a mason's helper.

Wade and Dr. Joseph E. Barrett, state hospital director, said the present system handicaps departmental heads attempting to fill staff vacancies. Dr. Barrett said he wanted to make it clear his criticisms were intended to be constructive, and that he considered the Michigan civil service law was fundamentally sound.

To Make No Detroit. Dec. Pointing to possible "new policies" by a new administration. Rep. John Hamilton.

Detroit Democrat, announced Wednesday the legislative council's subcommittee on labor relations would make no recommendations to the 1930 legislature. Hamilton, chairman of the subcommittee, said transcripts of testimony at hearings in Detroit. Flint, Saglnaw and Lansing, along with a digest of the of various groups, would be submitted to the house and senate labor committees. The report also will include a summary of principal labor legislation in 47 other states in the last two years. "The committee feels," Hamilton said, "that it has compiled valuable information for the guidance of the lawmakers, but it Is also conscious of the fact that a new administration is Mniiming the responsibility of government and that new policies probably will actuate it." mn SPEED New Equipment Being Installed For Transmission of Bills.

Lansing, Dee. The 1939 legislature will be geared for both speed and production, its employes disclosed. Equipment costing upwards of $4.000 is being installed to speed the transmission of bills between the house representatives and senate after the legislature convenes January 4. Electricians, decorators and mechanics busily at work added to the buzz of pre-session activity. The senate will be much like Its old.

austere self, but the house has gone in for ultra-modern gadgets and streamlining. T. Thomas Thatcher, clerk of the house, while working in the new modernistic rostrum will have at his disposal a two- way microphone contrivance permitting him to converse with employes in ante-rooms, his office or the document room. Fred I. Case, secretary of the senate, squelched the idea of extending such service to the old senate rostrum, although the new microphone service connects his office with the committee rooms and document room.

Thatcher said new equipment for indexing and record-keeping would permit a bill to clear the house within five minutes of its passage. From 15 minutes to two hours were required in the past, he said. The senate also installed a record system to permit employes to tell at a glance the history and status of any bill introduced in either chamber. Chase, who had sought for years to rid the senate offices of an ancient desk finally found a taker. The state museum accepted it as an exhibit.

In its place will be a modern metal desk with no pigeon holes. The legislative employes, adhering to custom and their employers' wishes, bought a wastebasket for each lawmaker, a fountain pen and ink well, a desk calendar, a stack of pencils, stationery, and a glistening new cuspidor. The members wilt be privileged to keep the articles at the end of the session. Safety Council Predicts They Will Be Lowest Since 1933. Chicago, Dee.
