Physicians working at the General Medical Clinic of the Johns Hopkins Hospital entered into tutorials to improve their effectiveness as managers and educators of patients with essential hypertension. After exposure to a single teaching session, tutored physicians allocated a greater percent of clinic-visit time to patient teaching than did control physicians, achieving increased patient knowledge and more appropriate patient beliefs regarding hypertension and its therapy. Patients of tutored physicians were more compliant with drug regimens and had better control of blood pressure than patients of untutored physicians. The personal physician, if he is provided with strategies for identifying the noncompliant patient and for intervening in that behavior, can apply a stimulus to his patients that results in improved compliance and better control of hypertension.

Some birds will mate in three minutes after being together, while others will be two or three weeks, and possibly six months, when a lot of unmated birds are together. Sometimes a young cock bird will run from a hen he has been flirting with, like 3 bashful youth, just as she is about to take his bill. A cock bird is a very bashful fellow at times if there happen to 7 I'olish Lynx-8 to 12 pounds to the dozen. Carneaux-10 to 14 pounds to the dozen. Maltese-10 to 14 pounds to the dozen. Hungarians-11 to 15 pounds to the dozen. Austrian Strassers-12 to 16 pounds to the dozen.^' hite Kings-12 to 18 pounds to the dozen. Mondaines-17 to 22 pounds to the dozen. Runts-22 to 28 pounds to the dozen. These are only approximate weights, as some run higher and some lower than these figures. The novice will ask which is the best? That c[uestion, answered by a pigeon man raising Homers, will be, "Homers." While the man, raising Rimts,^^•ill say, "Runts." Each is attached to his favorite, as a mother to her child-no baby is like hers. So the man raising squal)s for market is attached to his particular kind of pigeon, the same as the fancier to his fancv birds.
