DRUG FORMULAS
PUT IN CHINESE
Translation of United States
Pharmacopoeia Will Aid
Drugmakers and Scientists.
GERMANY TRIED TO GRAB IT
Attempted Before tho War to Corner
Drug Trade in china--Uss Of Diff
ferent Standards Has Been
Confusing and Dangerous.

Philadelphia. - The United States
Pharmacopoeia is being translated
into the Chinese language. II has just
been announced by the, Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy and Science.
Through the adoption of the American
standard formulas for drugs and medi-
cines which the pharmacopoeia will
give, 1t Is expected American drug
manufacturers will benefit greatly.
Professors and alumni of the local
institution, according to the statement
1t issued, are contributing more than
any other city or institution to the
work.
The statement follows:
Germany, before the World war,
tried every means within her power to
have the German pharmacopoeia
translated into Chinese so that Ger
man manufacturers might export to
China drugs of German standards. 1t
is understood that since the war Great
Britain has been trying to have the
British pharmacopoeia introduced for
the benefit of British manufacturers.
Praises Philadelphia Body.
"That both of them have failed is due
not to the efforts of American drug
manufacturers, but to the merit of the
work of the pharmaceutical labora-
tories of the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy pharmacopoeial revision
committee, Of which E. Fullerton Cook,
director of the pharmaceutical labora-
tories of the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy and Science, is chairman.
1.-The United States Pharmacopoeia
is a collection of official formulas of
standard drugs and chemicals for
making various compounds or simple
preparations. 1t is published by the
United States PharmacOpoeial conven-
ton. under the authority of the gov
eminent, and, under the national food
and drug act of 1906, 1t provides the
legal standards of strengths, qualities,
proportions. etc.
Thirty Different Formuiaries.
"There are about thirty different
pharmacopoeias in the world, the most
important being the British, French,
Belgian, SWISS German, Austrian an !
American.
"HithertO the Chinese have use
German, British. French and America
pharmacopeial standards indiscrimi-
nately, according to the training of the
particular druggist who filled the pre-
scription. This has led to confusion
and In some cases is likely to prove
dangerous TO the purchaser.
"Wlth the Chinese government sane
tioning the new pharmacopoeia uni
formity and safety will prevail. Ameri-
can manufacturers will have the In
side track and the American scientists,
especially those of the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy and Science, will
be accorded added recognition for
their services to humanity"

DIR. Morris Fucker, Brooklyn COM
munlst who arrived here recently af-
ter having served four months In the
Russian nils.
Fucker was sentenced in New York
In 1919 to go years Imprisonment for
sedition, but was depOrted instead.
Speaking of the life of the prisoners
in the principal political prison at Mos
COW, which Is called the 20. o. w." he
said, 'the daily third degree to which
prisoners are subjected IL they are sus-
pected of serious political crime Is
worse than execution.
Torture Repeated Daily.
"These prisoners are taken every
day, II their captors think there Is a
chance of wringlng confession from
them. into the questioning room.
There, whether they have anything to
confess or not, they are commanded to
reveal the truth
"The commissar puts a revolver to
the prisoners head. Confess, or I'll
shoot he commands. The prisoner
waits for the shot. He never knows
whether II is coming or not.
'This process Is often repeated I'M
I'll the prisoner will confess rather
than undergo any further ordeals, in
which case he Is shot anyway"
Meets Deported Radicals in Jail.
The mental condition of these prison
ers becomes such that they would pre-
fer death, said Doctor Fucker The
Brooklyn communist says that he met
in the various prisons of Moscow 20 OF
the radicals deported from America and
that he could well understand why the
Bolshevikl arrested them, for they were
chiefly anarchists who did not believe
in any government, particularly in a
government so dictatoria as that
maintained by the Bolsheviki."
fucker said he found in prison also
republic. Mohammed Hadjiz; Gen.
Alex Gertor. once commander of the
Russian southwestern front; eight
members Of the executive committee of

was commissar of agriculture in 1918.
and also former minister of ecclesi-

Fucker described the summoning of

He WILL "HERD GULLS"
Harvard Graduate Is Engaged
for Lonesome lob.
Private Philanthropy in Which New
York Millionaire Has Been
Engaged for Years.

New York.-Edward Hatch, Jr., who
owns Four Brothers island, near
Burlington, VT, rugged rock that
has become famous as the breeding
place of seagulis. has signed up q
Harvard graduate for the lonesome
Job OF heriing gulls during their nest
ing season, private philanthropy in
which Mr.. Hatch has been engaged for
some years.
There were 1900 applicants for tho
position as the result Of the insertion
of an advertisement In New York City
newspapers, which read:
"Wanted--A man to live alone on
an island; inland lake; eight miles
from shore; transportation, food,
shelter, boat, ETC., furnished; no work.
no compensation. Address Summer
time. 600 Tribune building, New York
81 have no faith in the theories of
Thomas A. Edison when 1t comes to
selecting the man for the place. said
Mr.. Hatch II have found In my ex-
perience that search for the best
personnel generally leads to the col
Iege man. He may start slowly, but
he has the equipment and once started
he goes fast and straight.
"That Is why I selected a college
man to be warden Of the gulls. The
job is one that requires aptitude and
Judgment such as an educated man
may be expected to possess"
Among applicants for the warden
ship of lonely island were natural
lists, lawyers, poets, authors, artists,
ex-soldiers, sailors and ornithologists.
Mr.. Hatch protects the breeding
place of the gulls because he believes
they are of the greatest value in con-
serving public health. He has been
interested for many years in plans to
prevent contamination of the waters
of New York harbor. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 gulls in and
about the harbor and each of them Is
said to consume an average of two
pounds of refuse day. To protect the
eggs of nesting gulls and save the
young from destruction by vandals
who visit Four Brothers island Mr..
Hatch has constituted himself pro-
tector of the breeding ground. This
is the ninth warden appointed.
