The government was represented
by Assistant United States AttOr
ney General H. H. Classic. The
case, which has been in the courts
for several years past, involves
flled-in land which is claimed by
the government. The business in
terests of the city are interested
in the outcome, as an adverse de-
Cision to the owners of the land,
on a part of which the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation is locat-
ed, might result in claims by the
government to other river front
property.

the latter part of the last century the attention of scientists was attracted ro three other trees whose seeds yield ed similar oil. They were Hydno- carpus anthelmintica, H. Wightiana' and H. Heterophylla. In 1904 Dr. ffed erick B. Power. now a chemist in the department. and then director of the Welcome Chemical Research Labora- tories in London. succeeded in separat- ing the physiologieally active acids Tn the oil from the seeds of the first two of thesc trees. These acids, designat- ed as chaulmoogric and hydnocarpie acid. respectively, were identified with the corresponding acids of true chaui- mooera oil. He also prepared in the years 19O4-5 the ethyl esters of the acids. which is the form ill which the remedy is used in injections by the Public Health Service specialists.
 While work done by the medical spe- cialists so far has been with true chaui- moogra oil the receipt of Dr Rock s seeds of the Hydnocarpus tree has caus ed Department of Agriculture authori- ties to set in motion efforts to propa gaze the plants for possible future usefulness.

Similar action was taken Dy the

of a large membership of citizens OF

Kaufman is a government music stu
dent.
The secret of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has baff1ed voice ex-
perts as we'll as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
produce overtones which gave the
sound of more than one part. He en-
tered the MacPhail school at Mime
apolis as a government student and,
as his voice strengthened and became
clearer, he developed the curious trio.
The only case remotely similar to
that of Kaufman, according to his in
structor in the government school, is
that of a woman singer in whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone, over which she had pract1-
cally no control The former soldier
in some way has separated and con-
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts
simultaneously.
