SCIENCE FINDS NEW VITAMIN Cures Diseases; Located in Cereals, Yeast, Plants. Edi Vnited Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 15. —People who worry about their figures being too fat or too slim, and diet accordingly, have something new to worry over. Professor R. A. Dutcher of Pennsylvania state college has announced the discovery of anew viatmin, or at least he has found that vitamin B has a twin, which he has named vitamin G. This new member of the evergrowing vitamin family has taken its place along with its brothers, A, B, C, D and E. Professor Dutcher says that vitamin B. formerly thought to be a single factor, has been found to be twins. Yeast, germs of cereals, leafy plants, fruits and vegetables contain this new complex factor. The new member of the family has been named after a lengthy discussion by scientists. .The scientists decided the new member of the family, which is said to cure beriberi, pellagra and stimulate appetite and growth, should be known as vitamin G. Professor Dutcher says that considerable study is necessary concerning the new member of the family, since some foods are richer in B than in G, and vice versa.

ANDERSON CITY FUNDS TIED UP AS SUIT RESULT Plaintiff Alleges Limit of Legal Indebtedness Far Exceeded, Bn Times Spr.eiat ANDERSON. Ind., April 15—City employes may miss some pay days and delay in payment of other obligations may result from a suit filed by Albert Van Slyke. former works board and city council member, who alleges the city has far exceeded the legal lint. of indebtedness. Van Slyke alleges that liabilities amount to $1,270,757,65, which he maintains is $477,115.95 beyond the limit. A temporary restraining order to prevent further payments by officials is in effect and a hearing on whether it shall be made permanent is set for April 25 in Madison circuit court. Charge Political Move Dr. F. M. Williams, mayor, and all other city officials are Republicans while Van Slyke is a Democrat. Officials declare his suit is a political move. However. Van Slyke, in denying his suit has anything to do with politics, asserts that it is directed to obligations contracted more than a year ago in part, and the litigation will extend beyond the municipal primary election to be held May 7, The suit maintains that all indebtedness incurred by the city since March 1, 1928, is void. Some attorneys contend that there are items in the suit which should not be included in a total of indebtedness with reference to the limit fixed by the state constitution. They refer to the Columbus avenue and Green branch sewer judgment, it being a debt imposed by court devision, and expenditures contracted for from funds of the city light plant. The latter, City Controller James Davies contends, should be included with light plant operations and not listed as an ordinary city debt.

‘Sea Devil’Dies 'Old Hellion,’ Terror of Ship, Loses All Nine Lives in Plunge.

Bu Unit' and Press NEW YORK, April 15—The crew of. the full-rigged ship the Seven Seas hove to in the mouth of the Hudson river today with a tale of a “sea devil with fur” that walked the plank into a shark-strewn sea.

Uppercu thanked the twentyone members of the crew for disposing of the “sea devil with fur,” which, on closer questioning, turned out to be a black tomcat, appropriately christened “Old Hellion.” “Old Hellion” turned up seven days out of Cowes and the cook's dough turned sour almost Immediately, it was said. Then the ship's chart was clawed to pieces and there were mutterings in the. forward cabin about the way "Old Hellion” was treating the shepherd puppy that was the official ship's mascot. K tt a THEN it developed that the cook had kissed a girl on the Isle of Wight and promised he would see to it that Alice was the only cat on board. Alice, a blue ribbon around her neck, cowered under the kitchen stove from the time “Old Hellion” raged into view and the cook passed the word on up to the forecastle that no black tomcat was going to make a coward out of Alice. The crew conferred and it doesn’t matter what they decided, for “01d_Hellion” was not to be found. Then came the day that Able Seaman C. N. Rassmussen started aloft, when Old Hellion sprung out of nowhere onto his ‘.houlder. Rassmussen couldn’t make him off, and aloft they went. Then the top gallant mast snapped and Rassmussen plunged into the sea. to be rescued promptly. “Old Hellion” plunged, too, but there was no mention of a lifeboat putting out to save one of the black devil's nine lives.
