This article presents information about the riots, which broke out after the first performance of the American motion picture "Rock Around the Clock" in Copenhagen, Denmark. During the first performance in the afternoon no incidents occurred, neither at the Bristol nor at the other cinema, the Platan, were the film was also shown. The riots did not begin until after the second evening performance. Another three policemen were ailed in before the end of the performance. As the filmgoers came out of the cinema, some youths made for the Town Hall Square. Some of them walked on toward the main entrance of the Tivoli where they tried to get in without paying. The Tivoli staff at the main entrance called for the police who arrested nine persons. The next day on August 6th, a crowd numbering about three hundred young people gathered outside the Bristol after the first evening performance. After about half an hour the general sentiment of the group began to grow increasingly aggressive. The young people encumbered the street-users, and gradually traffic came to a stop. The crowd was dispersed by the police, and was dosed to through-going traffic. Then the youths set out for the Town Hall Square through the cross streets. The police cleared the square several times during that night. Sixteen persons were apprehended.

The article explores the so-called biological types or life-forms developed by C. Raunkiaer, director of the Botanic Garden and Museum at Copenhagen, Denmark, and its application in phytogeography. In some reviews that he made to the work of various researchers, he stresses that something is lacking to express the correlation between vegetation and climate. It is stated that the plant itself must be the recorder of the biological value of any climate. A classification of plants according to shoot-apex or bud protection, and the biological types or life-forms is presented. He based his analysis on ten life-forms including S for Stem-succulents, Ch for Chamaephytes, and G for Geophyte, followed by an elaborated discussion on utilization of the life-forms in plant-geography.

The article reports on the 2nd International Conference on Production Research held in the Technical University of Denmark at Copenhagen in August 1973. The event was organized by professor C. H. Gudnason and his colleagues at the Technical University. The International Journal of Production Research has decided to publish a selection of papers presented at the conference. They will appear in the next two issues of the journal. It has been tentatively proposed that the 3rd Conference should be held in the U.S. in 1975.

The sucking habits of 248 single-born children and 30 pairs of twins were recorded. All children examined were between 3 years 0 months and 3 years 1 month on the date of examination. The relationships between sucking habit, the weight of the child at birth and the pattern of nutrition during infancy were examined. There was a sharp reduction in the number of children who sucked dummies as age increased, from 84.3 % at age 1 year to 47.1 % at age 3 years. The situation was quite different with finger-suckers: of the original 20 suckers, 17 were still sucking at the age of 3 years. A comparison between the two sexes' sucking habits showed that boys give up the sucking habit at an earlier age than girls. The feeding method in infancy has obviously no influence on the extent of sucking habits. It was found that weight at birth probably did not exert significant influence on sucking habits. A comparison between the feeding methods of single-born infants and twins showed that very few twins are breast-fed, the great majority being fed by bottle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
