THE COMING LIBERTY LOAN.

The Victory Liberty Loan, which
will complete our payments on the
war preparations that brought Ger.
many TO her knees so suddenly last
November, will be foated between
April II and May TO- The Secretary
OF the Treasury has announced that
the terms offered on the new loan
will be such as to make the govern
ment securities the best buy" on the
market at the time II Is circulated.
While Mr.. Glass has not announced
the amount he would call for, the best
informed public men say that the
issue will be $4,000, 100000 with the
right to accept all Observation-Disclosures.
And now to consider briefly why
the Victory Liberty Loan has to be
Hoated among the American people.
In the first place, the loan is a
good investment. Before the war,
most OF us were not investors. Today
one.fourth OF our population are bond
holders and half of us hold some sort
OF government securities. We have
begun, at least, to learn the thrift
habit that we may lay up some treas.
ures on earth.
In the second place, this was our
war, war OF the American people,
democracy against tyranny. We have
testified fully 10 our sanction OF this
war by sending 100000 men to the
battle front, training l,750,000 more
and getting ready 100000 TO go into
training We testified 10 our interest
in il when we subscribed S7,000,000'
900 TO the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan and gave literally TO our war
charities.
Now the war Is over and we wonder
a bit why we are asked for more mon
cy There are still a million of our
lighting men in France who must be
brought home. There are thousands Of
our wounded and sick in hospitals who
have yet 10 be cared for. Our mer'
chant marine Is still building that
America may take her place in the
world mart. All these take funds.
Yet that Is not the real reason for
the Victory Liberty Loan. Our gov

tion, when Germany capitulated, war

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-
featured 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
first week in October from former liar

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 SIS. 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 cues
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
home
