—Dietz on Science— CHEMIST’S TEST TUBE MAY GIVE MANJEW LIFE Use of Hormones Expected to Control Health and Personality. BY DAVID DIETZ Scrlpps-Howard Science Editor The control of personality and health may both come out of the chemist's test tube. This is the latest promise in the work now being done to identify the chemical nature of the hormones, the mysterious substances poured into the bloodstream by the ductless ! glands, and the vitamins, the equally mysterious substances required for a complete diet. How chemistry is progressing in l this interesting field is discussed in a recent paper by Professor Julius Stieglitz of the department of chemistry of the University of Chi- | cago. The hormones and vitamins are i “perfectly definite chemical principles or compounds, as definite in their composition and actions as are ! such well known drugs as morphine, quinine and strychnine,” according to Professor Stieglitz. Ended Haphazard Use “Chemistry’s first function has | been to isolate these mysterious and powerfuj agents as pure crystalline compounds, exactly as one of its great contributions to medicine in i the past was to isolate from crude drugs, the pure alkaloids,’ he conI tinues. “These pure principles, strychnine, atrophine, and many others, gave j physicians the opportunity of using exact doses to secure perfectly definite effects in place of haphazard results with the crude drugs; it became possible bv hypodermic or in- | travenous injection to obtain almost ' instantaneous results. “We now are witnessing the exj tension of this mastery of the situation in the use of the hormones.” Many Lives Saved The first hormone to be isolated in chemically pure form was epine- ' phrine, sometimes called adrenelin. Dr. John A. Abel of Johns Hopkins university obtained it in the form 1 cf pure crystals. It has, as Professor Stieglitz reminds us, saved many a life. “The dose of this powerful drug is one milligram, less than the j weight of an ordinary particle of salt,” Professor Stieglitz says. Once a hormone has been isolated in pure form, the next task, he continues, is to analyze it and discover its chepiical formula. When ; this has been done, the way is ' opened for the synthetic manuI facture of the hormone. “This has been done for epinephrine,” he says, “and the artificial ; compound is in common use. This ! study of the structures of hormones may well lead to attempted im- | provements on mother nature’s j products. Cocaine Use Cited “A famous illustration of this | possibility is the local esthetic coj caine, an invaluable aid in surI gery. The knowledge of the structure of cocaine led to the artificial drug ! ncvocaine, or procaine, very much cheaper, and not habit forming, as cocaine is. Thousands of operations now are carried out under the influence of procaine and similar creations of the chemist. “In a similar way, man’s intelligence may endeavor in time to improve on blind nature’s hormones; the results might be of inestimable benefit to individuals and lo the race.” Mental Ailment Relieved Professor Stieglitz looks forward to the use of hormone therapy in the treatment of mental diseases. Results so far are highly encouraging. “Dr Hoskins of Harvard,” he says, “has reported that five out of eighteen victims of the dread disease, dementia praecox, were so benefited by the thyroid hormone that they could be discharged from treatment. “The sooner chemistry offers medicine the pure horomones, so that exact therapy can be used, the more rapid will be the progress in offering the body the perfect balance of these powerful agents which our complex organization demands.” GARBAGE RULING TO FOLLOW ARGUMENTS Supreme Judge Weir Will Hear Attorneys Tomorrow. Validity of the recently passed city ordinance governing garbage collections will be determined by Superior Judge Clarence Weir after oral arguments in the case are heard j tomorrow morning. The ordinance is being tested by I Frank Ryan, a Hamilton county farmer, who alleges he has pur- i chased garbage from downtown res- j taurants to provide food for hogs. Under the new' ordinance he will be prevented from hauling the garbage over the city’s streets. At a hearing today on the injunction requested by Mr. Ryan, I Donald Smith, Walter Myers and Herbert Spencer, representing the sanitary board and the city, offered testimony to show that untrue allegations were made in Mr. Ryan’s j complaint. AMERICAN CONCERNS IN FRANCE FACE TAX Republic Assesses 5120.000.000 in “Back Taxes.” By Unitrr] Press PARIS. Dec. 15.— American concerns doing business in France have been assessed nearly $120,000,000 in j “back taxes,” under the double taxaction law over which a controversy has existed between the United 1 States and France for years. The concerns had expected the taxes would be abandoned after Andre Tardieu and Ambassodar Walter Edge signed a treaty in April, 1932, specifically exempting Americans from the law. The treaty was ratified by the United States senate in June. 1932 but never was submitted to the French chamber of deputies. _ ■ ■(. .mtMM

Contract Bridge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridif Learoe IN rubber bridge we were satisfied generally with just making our contract, but in duplicate or tournament bridge not only must you arrive at the proper declaration in the bidding, but you must play the hand for the maximum number of tricks to get top score. To be satisfied with making just f*ur, because that is all you bid. when an extra trick is needed for the contract. So even though you are playing only sociable bridge at home, I certainly would suggest that you play every hand for the maximum number of tricks. Careful play will prove valuable on the difficult hands quite easily may give you bottom score on a board in duplicate.

I received today’s interesting hand from the open pair championship tournament of the Toronto Whist Club, recently held in Toronto. I had hoped to attend the tournament, but had to be satisfied just to read about it. This hand W'as played by W. Howard Woolworth of Niagara Falls, N. Y. a a a SOUTHS hand is not strong enough for an original forcing bid. While West has five hearts to the queen jack, his side is vulnerable and he can not risk a dangerous overcall. North’s bid of two clubs can be treated more or less as a chance giving bid. Now, when South went to three spades, North was justified in going to four. Os course, the hand is a spread four-odd. However, Mr. Woohvorth made five by winning the opening queen of hearts lead with the king in his own hand and then cashing the ace and king of clubs. He next played a small heart and won with dummy's ace. He returned the ten of clubs, which he ruffed with the eight of spades, not fearing an over-ruff, since all it would do would be to knock out the queen. He next led the ace of spades and then played the jack of spades. West won with the queen, which set up the ten of spades as an entry card in dummy, so that two losing diamonds could be discarded on dummy’s two good clubs, and five odd were made.

SLICK TRICKS USED TO LURE FOOD BUYERS Copeland Bill Seeks Aid for Legitimate Food Industries. This is the fifth of a series of six articles on the Copeland Pure Food and Drug bill. The last will appaar tomorrow. B,y Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 15—Slick tricks by food packers of dubious ethical standards, which offer unfair competition to the legitimate tradp and at the same time cheat the consumer, have been uncovered by the dozen in investigations carried on by the United States food and drug administration. Some of them are amusing, in spite of the meanness of the smalltime greed they betray, so that visitors to the exhibits on display at the department of agriculture catch themselves laughing and frowning at the same time. There is the paper-thin veneer of white meat laid around t.he wall of a jar of boned chicken, giving the impression of a really highquality product; but within it is a mere mass of scraps, mostly rather undesirable-looking bits of dark meat and rice. There is the glass of “peanut spread”—peanut butter liberally diluted with starch. There are jars of preserves, demurely labeled "strawberry flavored,” but with viv i pictures of big red strawberreis displayed to lure the purchaser’s attention away from the fact that content is like the famous “fifty-fifty” rabbit sausages —one rabbit, one horse. Here’s a Slick Trick The kid who spends his prized nickel on an ice cream cone may be made the victim of a double “gyp," sub-standard content of butterfat, and too much air whipped in to bulk up the ice cream. Legitimately made ice cream contains a little less than a third of its volume in air, but ice creams have been purchased on the open market that contained 56 per cent of this cheapest of all diluting agents. One slick trick that has been very irritating to the manufacturers of egg noodles was all done with cellophane. A manufacturer of cheaper, eggless variety of noodles simply wrapped his product in yellow - tinted cellophane, which gave the customer the impression that the white dough-stripe within were a‘ rich egg yellow. At the same time the noodles were packed in very loosely, to make the package look big. Most of the complaints against this practice have come from competing manui facturers, who feel that this is decidedly a chiseler's trick. Bulk Into Millions All these sharp practices, and a lot more like them, petty as individual cases, but bulking into millions in their cheating of the public, are strictly within the letter of the present pure food law. To stop them, the new Copeland bill bolsters up present provisions against misbranding, adulteration and misrepresentation; and it adds a new' feature, the authorization of the secretary of agriculture to set up standards which must be met by manufacturers and packers. The framers of the new measure believe they are safeguarding the interests of the legitimate industry as well as of the purchasing public. But for the “slick guy” in the business they aim to substitute for the old legal maxim; “Caveat emptor,” “Let the buyer beware.’’ anew one, “Caveat vendor,” “Let the seller beware.”
