DRUG ADDICTION ENDED BY USE OF CHEMICAL 16-Year-Old Habit Is Cured by Thinning of Jelly Portion of Brain. By Science Service WASHINGTON, April I.—Details of a successful treatment of a case of sixteen-year-long drug addiction with a chemical that thins the Jelly-like consistency of the brain have been reported to the National Academy of Science here by Professor Wilder D. Bancroft and his associates, Dr. Robert S. Gutfiell and John E. Rutzler of Cornell university. The chemical is sodium rhodanate. The “cure” of the human drug addet is the final bit of evidence in support of Professor Bancroft’s theory that in morphine addiction, the Jelly-like consistency of the brain becomes thicker, more gelatinous, or, as the scientists say, the brain colloids are agglomerated. The use of the method on a human subject followed observations of its usefulness in animals addicted to the drug. T r eated Four Times The patient was a man, 49, a trained nurse, who had been addicted to the use of morphine for sixteen years, during which time he had been treated four times. The various methods used had been insensible withdrawal, slow withdrawal, abrupt withdrawal and the Towns-Larnbcrt treatment. After one course of treatment, the patient did not use the drug for four months, but after the other withdrawals he started using it again in from two days to three or four weeks. In six days he was withdrawn from the drug completely by the Cornell method of treatment, and has not used it since, a period of three weeks. During a previous course of treatment the patient had been considered a “mean customer,” and had suffered periods of severe depression, severe gastro-intestinal upset, and all the other withdrawal symptoms. When withdrawal was accompanied by appropriate doses of sodium rhodanate, none of these effects was observed. Has Restless Periods The patient had periods of restlessness, nervousness and sleeplessness, but these were found to be due to the fear that he had many days of suffering ahead of him before the morpine would be entirely withdrawn. He was astonished when told at the end of the ninth day of the course of treatment that he had had no morphine for twen-ty-four hours. “Since the patient has been withdrawn, he claims to have had no desire whatever for morphine, and our observations of him support his contention,” Professor Bancroft stated. * The fact that the craving for morphine can be controlled by sodium rhodanate means that mental rehabilitation will almost surely follow the treatment, he concluded. FIG TREE IN BASEMENT Seed Thrives in Sunny Cellar of Nebraska Home. HARTINGTON, Neb., April I. Pome day August Erickson of Hartington might have a fig grove right down in the basement of his home.

GREAT SWIMMER IS : • NOW A MOVIE STAR “Tarzan, the Ape Man,” With Johnny Weismuller in the Leading Role, Opens Today at the Palace. " r I 'ARZAN. the Ape Man." Edgar Rice Burroughs' widely-read African -I- adventure novel, has been brought to the screen under the direction of W. S. Van Dyke of “Trader Horn" fame, and opens today at Loews Palace. Because the hero of this story is a white man who has been brought j up in the jungle and lives like the apes in the tree-tops, makes his way ! by swinging through them from limb to limb, difficulty was encountered, in finding someone of sufficient athletic prowess to fill the exacting role.! The problem was solved when Johnny Weismuller, world s champion ' swimmer and one of th e finest examples of masculine physiques, was cast as Tarzan. Neil Hamilton and C. I

Aubrey Smith, as leaders of an English safari seeking ivory wealth, Maureen O'Sullivan as Smith's daughter, Doris Lloyd, Forrester Harvey and Ivory Williams fill the remaining principal roles.

Jungle thrills outdoing even those of the sensational “Trader Horn” are promised in the daring trek of the safari through the wilds of Africa in search of the curious “Elephant’s Burial Ground” in the course of which the adventures meet with terrifying obstacles. The wits of the white men are matched against those of beasts and savage pygmies with the primitive winning out in the end, while screen romance of anew order is entailed in the curious love affair of the Ape Man and English girl, What are reported to be some of the film's mast hair-raising episodes include an attack of lions by night upon the safari camp; the crossing of a river filled with hippopotami; a fight between Tarzan and a bullape; the rescue of a trapped elephant and the subsequent efforts of the grateful beast to aid his rescuers. There is also an amazing episode in which the heroine is carried through the trees by a herd of apes; the capture of the safari by the pygmy tribe; their subsequent escape from death in a gorilla nit and the spectacular charge of a huge herd of elephants through the pygmy village, leaving devastation and terror in its wake. 'A Flip the Frog cartoon novelty, entitled "The Milk Man,” and the latest release of the Hearst Metrotone News will complete the bill. tt tt tt NEW CHEVALIER MOVIE AT INDIANA Once again, Ernst Lubitsch has gathered together all of the resources at his command and produced another film, already showing signs of becoming anew hit, thus adding another corner stone to his brilliant hall of productions. His latest screen product, “One Hour With You,” brings into play the irrepressible talents of Chevalier, and it opens today at the Indiana. With Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald teamed together and assisted by players of successful past performances, with George Cukor coaching, and Ernst Lubitsch’s discerning eye and hand at the controls, there seems to be little room for failure. Chevalier has a role in “One Hour With You," said to be filled with opportunities for his special brand of foolery. He portrays a fashionable doctor whose women patients find his prescriptions easy to take. However—and this is an original touch —the doctor is actually in love with his wife, Collette (played by Miss MacDonald), and though duty requires him to call on other ladies, hold their hands, and listen to the exciting fluttering of their hearts, he struggles manfully to be true to Collette. If only Mitzi (Genevieve Tobin), had played fair—but when did a woman as pretty as Mitzi ever play fair? Thus a sufficiency of plot complications give Chevalier an opportunity to be, in turn, smiling and debonair, worried and distressed, anx-

ious and apologetic, and then happy again. Charlie Ruggles, George Barbier, and Roland Young are others of the cast of this latest Chevalier vehicle. A variety added attraction program will complete the bill. a a tt Other theaters today offer: “Panama Flo” and “The Big Shot” at the Circle, “Hotel Continental” at the Apollo, “Uncle Tom's Cabin” at Keith’s, “Dishonorable Conduct” at the Lyric, and burlesque at the Mutual.
