ANOTHER w-ANY reputable physicians believe that a cure LINK TO \/S for diabetes is in sight, now that the powers SCIENCE 1y s os “insulin” have been discovered by Dr. James J. R. Mackod of the University of Toronto. Insulin is obtained from the pancreas of animals and ocean fish. Diabetes, in which sugar gets into the blood in excessive quantities, has its origin in the pancreatic gland, neighbor of the stomach. The real interest in Macleod’s -discoveries is that he has added another link to science’s chain of knowledge about the mysterious endocrine glands which seem to regulate oui health, emotions and brain power.

Is the pressure at the bottom of the ocean great enough to crush objects? What Is the air pressure at sea level? Yes, the pressure will crush anything not constructed to withstand it. All deep-sea sounding instruments are made to withstand a pressure increasing about a ton to the square inch with each 1.000 fathoms of depth. At the greatest depth known there would, therefore, be a pressure of nearly six tons to each square inch of surface. The pressure of air at sea level is approximately fifteen pounds per square inch. Is a Federal license required for any kind of tax imposed on a mail order business? No. The only law on tiie subject is that such business must comply with the ordinary postal regulations.. What ,is the meaning of the word “Ltd.” or “Limited” after “Company” in British concerns? It indicates that they are companies in which the liability of each shareholder is limited by the number of shares he has taken, so that he cannot be called upon to contribute beyond the amount of his shares. What does "Greenwich” on maps mean? Greenwich is the leading English astronomical observatory situated in Greenwich Park, London, in latitude 51 degrees, 2S minutes. 38.1 seconds north, and on the prime meridian.

Public Opinion Memorial Day To the Editor o/ The Timm Is patriotism, heroism and idealism to be submerged by .a deluge of commercialism? The Speedway promoters, . traction and street car Interests • and j other Indianapolis commercial groups, j actuated by selfish and therefore un - patriotic and unworthy motives, are making a vicious, organized and persistent attack on this Memorial day bill. This fact alone should open the. eyes of the out-State members of the House and line them up solidly 1 for the hill, regardless of party. ' The Indianapolis delegation in the House should recover from their stampede and come back to the support of the measure with the enthusiSm that their better natures and the lofty idealism Vof the purpose 'of Memorial day that was their first and truest impulses. If they finally surrender to the Mammonism involved, they will, through all the years to come' have reason to regret such a weak surrender to local greed. It would be well for the movies to be closed during the hours of patriotic service and decoration of the graves, and then when open show films promotive of patriotism and obedience to | law or keep closed altogether. But the movies do not stampede the people ln'a riotous way and do not cause the city of Indianapolis to be overrun 1 by a sporting and gambling horde of | adventures. Let all selfish and personal "bonsid- 1 eratlons be put aside and let reverence and gratitude for our beloved j dead and devotion to the highest and loblest ends of patriotism eclipse every j other consideration. , v- D.

Colorado River Treaty Opens Way for Reclaiming Four Million Acres of Land

Henry Ford’s Muscle Shoals Plan Small Beside Project,

Bi, YEA ,S* rclrr SANTA FE, N. M.. Feb. 17. Henry Ford's dream of power from Muscle Shoals fades into insignificance against the project, recently formed, of reclaiming the 4,000.000 acres of wasto land In the Colorado River basin and creating electric energy enough to run most railway* and Industries of the Southwest. A treaty signed hero by representatives of seven western states opens the way to the realization of this immense undertaking which may develop fnto the world's greatest engineering feat—greater even then the Panama Canal. The treaty s A ties for all time the division of waters of the Colorado River among various states and opens the way for the Government to erect the world’s largest dam in Boulder Canyon, and impound enough writ' r to irrigate millions of acres of land, now waste. Results Expected Hero is what the pact does: 1. Ellmifiates. litigation over water rights in a territory of 242.000 square miles. 2. Makes possible irrigation of 4,000.000 acres of,desert land. S. Opens way to construction of dams which would remove the annual threat of floods from the Imperil Valley of California and the Yuma Valley of Arizona, These dams at the same time ,would provide water for huge irrigation projects and immense electric power. Utilizing the power and the mois ture of the Colorado River for years has been “i - dream of western people. But there has been ceaseless bicker over the way the power and* the water should be divided among the states through and by which the river flows. Legal Tangle Averted Arizona. California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming put in claims for shares of the power and the water. Did the water belong to the state in which It {ell as rain or snow, or did it belong where the most of it was flowing in the riverbed? That was the chief legal knot. There Was enough difference of opinion to cause lawsuits lasting 100 years. Out of the situation came the creation by Congress of the Colorado"' River .commission, headed by Herbert Hoover. The present treaty was the result. Now It is up for ratification by the seven Legislatures, after which the states will start a campaign for Federal aid In putting up the huge irrigation dams. Later, power possibilities will be considered, according to present plans. AMNESTY OFFERED IRIISH REBELS EXPIRES SUNDAY Preparations K, ing Rushed to Crush lusui g< nts If They Refuse.

‘Little Mother Rents Houses Only to Families With Six Children or More

Massachusetts Woman, With Kindly Heart, Wins Thanks of Parents,

By SEA Service LYNN, Mass., Feb. 17.—Ordinarily it t?oes thus: LANDLORD: "Any children?” APPLICANT (meekly): “Y-yes. wo have one." LANDLORD: “I never take children." r * But Lynn is setting anew example. Here is goes thus: LANDLORD: “Any children?” APPLICANT (meekly): "Sorry, but we have four.” LANDLORD: "Can't iet you have the place. We never rent to families with less than six children.” Mrs. Vincent E. Gregg Is responsible for the new plan. She has bought five houses and is negotiating for the purchase of others in order that the parents of large families may have homes. Rental advert isena nts of her properties- state that families with less than six children need 'not apply. “Little Mother” Mrs. Gregg lias won the name "the little mother of Lynn” through her work as bead of the Lynn Neighborhood House, a gathering place for children from the city's melting pot district. Recently, in connection with her work, she ran across the mother of a family of seven, discouraged and broken-hearted because she could not find a-home. Landlords all looked upon her children as criminals. she said, and she had been turned away from place after p;ace until, so wearied that she could not tramp farther, site had given up In despair. It s<M Mrs Gregg to thinking. She began investing her money in houses and advertised for big family tenants. • One Hundred Answer tall More than 100 persons answered her first, ad V*' the first three cottages she rented, the tenants had a total of twenty-three children. “I received letters almost every day—pathetic letters asking aid—from heads of households," Mrs. Gregg says. “Landlords who turn children away from their houses are inhuman. It is a criminal practice which •society must correct before its results are f> It throughout the Nation." Mrs. Gregg in 1907 founded the Neighborhood House in Lynn. ft is a settlement house exclusively for children, who learn sewing, ‘dressmaking and many other usefm occupation*. Last year 1.400 children of thirty-four nationalities attended the classes.

Still, we declared business was on the up-grade and that the 1 auto show would he the final straw to break the back of ‘Old Man Business ! Degression.’ ’’ he said. “Wo held a very successful show and the spring, summer and autumn business of 1922 was a record-breaker. Not only that, but all lines of business revived.
