Food Made From
Sunlight, Air and
Water at Harvard
Synthetic Sugar Is Key to
Problem; Nature S Process
Still Is Cheaper, but Sci
cnce Hopes to Improve

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 27.-Foods
derived from sunlight, air and water
have been produced in Harvard's chem
ical laboratory by DR.. Winthrop John
Vanleuven Osterhout, professor of bot
any. Announcement of the accomplish
ment was made to-day. 1t is a first
result Of series Of experiments by
which the professor hopes to reduce
tho high cost of living through
synthetic chemistry.
Concerning his experiments Profess
sor Osterhout says:
"Analyzing food, we learn that the
three chief components ere sugar, fats
and protein. Until recently it was im-
possible to manufacture sugar synthet-
ically. but now we have solved the rid
die in several different ways. Iron rust
exposed to the prismatic rays Of the
sun through water makes formalde-
hyde, since the rays Of The sun acting
upon the rust as a contact agent, mixed
with the carbon doxide of the air, and
water, makes this powerful chemical.
From formaldehyde certain forms of
sugar may be obtained. Other ways Of
making sugar synthetcally are through
the employment Of ultraviolet rays,
radium and electricity.
Plant Processes Studied
"Part of our research work at Har
wards botanical laboratory has been to
observe the process by which the plant
transforms the carbon dioxidc gas and
water together into sugar and later
into starch, either of which forms can
be preserved.
$50 much for obtaining sugar. Pro-
tein is composed Of amino acids. 1t has
been found possible in the laboratory
to take the carbon dioXide Of the air,
water and ammonia,. which is also
found in the air in small quantities. to
form a simple kind Of protein. Now,
through the combination Of sugar and
protein, both of which have been manu-
facturcd in the laboratory, the ncccs-
sary fat is obtained, with the resultant
nutritious food
Natures System Cheaper
"Of course. one of the greatest OBJ
stacles standing in the way Of the pro-
duction of food through this method is
the present cost of making the sugar
which can be manufactured as yet in
small quantities only. Our greatest
competitor in this important field is the
plant itself, which thus far undersells
the synthetic method"
Professor Osterhout, who has taught
many of the large universities through
out the United States, and has alta ned
an international reputation as man of
science, told of the difficulty Of carry
ing on important botanical cesearch
with the limited equipment at Harvard,
and stated that he hoped moro funds
would be forthcoming from the m
creased endowment of $15,25O 900 which
Harvard graduates will raise during the

Girl, 4 Years Old, Attacks
Babies in Carriages
Condition of Two Demands
Attention of Doctor; Others
Suffer Scratches

The Children's Society began an in
vestigation yesterday OF the actions of
four-y ear-old Elsie Schelp, who wan
dercd away from her home at 1922 Pal
inetto Street, Ridgewood, Queens, and
attacked several babies who were lying
in their carriages in the yard Of Public
School S8. She was taken to the Glen
dale police station, where she was
claimed by her mother.
According to the mothers of the
children whom the little girl attacked,
the child scratched the faces of ali
OF them and tried to choke several.
The mothers were attending a govern
ment auction nearby and returned to
their babies when they heard them
screaming.
Three months old William Holmes. of
1874 Woodbine Street, was scratched
about the face and his neck vas
bruised. He was gasping for breath
when his mother, who had been a
trained nurse before her marriage,
reached him. She placed her lips to
his and blew air into his lungs.
Thomas Flynn, eleven months old
also was scratched about the face, as
were most of the other babies. Dr.
Kemp, of 2i42 Cornelia Street, was
summoned and administered first aid
TO the holmes and Flynn children in a
nearby drug store. He said their in
juries were not serious and that they
would recover. The other babies did
not need medical attention.
The Schelp child was found in a
corner of the yard and taken to the
Glendale police station. When ques-
toned there, she declined to say any
thing concerning the motive for her
attack. Her mother, arriving to re-
port the loss of her child, took her

nearly 10000 men. it was said, the en-
ploycrs laid out plan Of campaign
and arranged for the protection Of

The demands advanced by tho men
we're formulated following the half
day strike and retaliatory lock out
which took place in the industry two
weeks ago. as n result of the deter
mination of the workmcn to keep their
summer Saturday half holiday through

the men also demand the forty-four

two-and-a-half time for Sundays and

Alteration in Car
Leads to His Arrest

"All I have to say in addition to
the letter is that / am somewhat
fearful the dope had effect, because
soon after the fracas to which !
have referred in my official report
took place, Mr.. Foster came to grief
in Budapest The following day a
Hungarian, who had been in this
country and could speak some Eng
ish, came to me and said subscrlp-
ton paper was being passed around
to get Foster out of jail and enable
him to return to Berlin. He had
been arrested the night before be-
cause Of some trouble he had with a
streetcar conductor for not paying
his fare. l told our friend that since
the Roman occupation OF that part
OF the country the roads had been in
excellent condition, that .pedes-
trianisn was good for the health,
and would therefore refrain from
interfering with Mr.. Fosters oppor-
tunity to benefit his health by walk
ing back to Berlin
After Foster returned to America. he
with n few others founded "The Syndi--
calist League of North America" Of
which he became secretary, and it is
then that he wrote the book "Syndical-
ISM in which he advocates the ma
tional tactics that he is following out
in the conduct Of the steel strike. Hav-
ing learned sabotage in France, he
went throughout the states preaching
it, and when he advocated it to his
]. ". ". constituents he was repeated
" told that at wouldn't work" He
was told that it was used abroad only
because the Rels are in control, and
to this Fosters reply was always to
he effect that the Reds must control
here.
Apparently following out his "bore
from within" policy, he is first learned
Of as an A. f. Of L. member through his
mem oershp in, the Garments union. he
is never known to have had any craft
until he became 4 car repalrer. His
present pursuit seems to be that Of q
soap-box orator and general agitator.
Upon his connection with the American
Federation OF Labor he imme diately
became active, and his first activity of
prominence was in his work as organ
zer of the meat packers in Chicago.
In June, 1918, at the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor convention in St.
Paul. it was Foster who presented the
resolution for the committee to organ
ze the steel workers, and he was put
on that committee. He opened an Of
flee in Pittsburgh and gathered around
him all the radicals of the community.
He has frequently appeared at anar-
chist and Socialist meetings in the
community.

New Scale Is Granted
War Contract Violated
Profit ON Output in Pitts
burgh District Is Said
To Be Only 3 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.---The pres
cnt cost Of coal to the Consumer will be
doubled if demands formulated by the
United Mine Workerx are allowed, a
statement issued to-day by the Ma
tional Coal Association declared. 1t is
estimated the demands, If granted, will
add $1,000, 100000 to the cost of coal
during the coming year.
"The United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica are trying to hold up the people Of
the United States for billion dol
lar annual increase in the cost of coal"
the statement says. "They have an
nounced their intention Of striking No
vember ! unless their demands arc
granted, and that is what their de-
mands mean in dollars and cents"
Violation of Agreement Charged
A contract between miners and oper~
ators, approved by the government,
covers wages, hours and working con-
ditions for the war period, the state
ment says, and continues:
"Obviously, the country is at war
until the treaty of peace is ratified and
proclaimed. The miners understand
this. They did not contend that the
agreement was terminated by the sign
ing of the armistice, but continued to
work under it, They have now decided
to take advantage of the shortage of
coal and the imniinencc Of winter to
enforce their demands in violation OF
their agreement
A six-hour day, it says, means ap-
proximately five hours in the working
r,1n bo Jou hat
basis means an actual reduction from
forty-eight hours week, the present
schedule, to about twenty-five hours
week "in the face of the fact that we
are now short Of coal in this country
and throughout the world and that in
creased and uninterrupted coal pro-
duction is vital"
Public to Pay Cost
con top of this they demand so
per cent increase in wages" the state
ment says. "The effect of these de-
mands, if granted, would be to almost
double the present cost Of mining coal.
"Any such increased cost must neccs-
ssarily be paid by the public. Exhibits
filed by the Pittsburgh operators with
the Senate committee investigating
the coal situation show their profits
are less than one-half Of those Of last
year and average but per cent en- the
capital invested.
:" ith such marrow margin Of
profit, it is imposs blc for the operators
to absorb amy increase in wages.
Approximately 600 900 men are en-
ployed in the bituminous mines Of the
country, of whom about 800 o00 are
employed in the unionized districts.

coo men is now attempting to hold up
