Excessive Vitamin B-1 Dulls Rats Moral Sense Cannibalism
New York science report shows extreme doses of vitamin B-1 alter rat behavior, removing mother-love and triggering cannibalism unless manganese is present. David Perla of Montefiore Hospital notes that at 15 to 20 times normal amounts, rats abandon nurturing instincts and attack others, with heredity changes at very high levels. Recovery occurs when manganese is supplemented, suggesting metals are needed to oxidize B-1. The finding implies malnutrition cases may involve insufficient body metals rather than the vitamin alone.

Texas pension burden shift blamed on farmers and consumers
The 1938 Pension Bureau statements show Texas pensions costing 20.5 million annually with half funded by the federal government. State taxes including liquor, beer, cigaret and vending taxes cover most of the outlay while natural resource corporations pay nothing. The author argues for a sales tax to fund pensions and to entrench it in the Constitution, avoiding removal for years.

O Daniel backs emergency death penalty repeal only years away as lawyers oppose by about ten to one while legislators push bills to borrow 900000 at 1.6 percent to support pensions and withhold school land leases 90 days post adjournment.

Jolly seventh grader and the small bright third grader
A fragment describes a jolly girl from seventh grade, very small yet agile and smart without much studying, with brown eyes, dark complexion, freckles, black hair, and about 80 pounds. It notes a short boy weighing around five pounds, brown curly hair and eyes, a pitcher on the team who leads a team of his own, and a standout third grade girl who answers questions with a bright smile. A kinship shares the same name across seventh and seventh grade.
