VINCENT AIDS CHINESE
Former Head of University
Pleads for Famine Victims.

Dr. George e. Vincent, former presi-
dent of the University of Minnesota.
and now president of the Rockefeller
Foundation. New York City, has raised
his voice in plea to people of Mime
sofa to give literally to the relief of
the Chinese famine sufferers
The plea is especially effective be-
doing vast amount of relief work in
China. The Rockefeller family, too,
has donated 100000 for the famine
sufferers
There can be no doubt as TO the
widespread famine, disease and suffer
ing in China" Dr. Vincent telegraphed
20 the Minnesota committee of the
China Famine Relief fund. State
ments and appeals of the national COM
mittee may be accepted with full con-
fidence. Foodstuffs are now available
and transportation in China is improv-
ing so that distribution can be guaran-
teed.~ The situation is very critical and
1t calls for immediate and generous
response
b. +. Benson, chairman OF the Min
nesota committee, in commenting on
the message said that these few words
from DR.. Vincent proved more than
anything else that has been said OF
the terrible need of the Chinese. Con.

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
of the United States have joined. for
the first time in the history of the
country, in an appeal for philan.
thropic enterprise President Hard ng,
ex-President Wilson and EXPIRE sident
Taft are all in the forefront Of the
movement TO send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pres dent Harding's first Off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been i'm the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic In the
East. President Hard ng said in part :
"At this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, l desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf of the starving people of large
sect on of China
'"The picture of China.s distress is
so tragic that | am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
TO this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In apo nting the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, EXPIRES ident Taft. as
one of the members, and Thomas w
Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said in his procla-
nation:
Not only In the name Of humanity
but In that of the friendlineSs which
we feel for a great people In distress,
l venture to ask that our cit zens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today light one. respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"

Left.handedness hereditarx.

Left-handedness is to a great extent
hereditary An explanation of left
handedness in normal structures has
been sought by falling back Oh the
fact that the cerebral henilspheres of
the brain work the muscles crOsswise.
Terriers researches have proved that
when we see with the right eye we see
with the left side of the brain. Viewed
by the light, hereditary left-handed-
ness may be due 10 the greater devel-
opment of the right side of the brain.
st Is practically certAin," says DR..
Bastion, that the great preponder-
ance of righthanded movements in or
binary individuals must tend to pro-
duce a more complex Organization OF
the left than the right hemisphere OF
the BRAIN" NJ Broca states that in
forty brains which he examined he
found the left frontal lobe heavier
than the right These investigations
have not as yet been thoroughly car
ried out but possibly the explanation
of obstinate left-handedness lies Id
that direction.

All Minnesota is taking personal

stellar role there.
He is Ray G. Marshall, former city
editor of the Minneapolis Journal. who
is working out of famine headquarters
in Picking without any pay. In his 20
years of newspaper work, Mr. Marshall
has seen suffering and misery in all
forms, but he admits he is stunned by

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonder.
| Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products
THE ALcHEMISTs DREAM
(ToId In Eight sketchss)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. Nv

Through the literature OF the an
clients runs the absorbing story OF the
alchemist'S patient search tor the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
lnever-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge Of chemistry and vaguely
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned TO change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper And more than that,
by means of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels.
The. philosopher stone still is an un-
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain to find it in the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished Won
ders by the utilization of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
TO this rather uninteresting substance
coal
We put Kettle of it over a FIRE and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone,
toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol,
anthracene, carbazol, and some others.
But these are the most important.

Synthetic Chemistry, After Learning the Secret of
Making Royal Purple Succeeds in Producing
All the Colors of the Rainbow
(Told In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. v
COLOR

In the dim ages of history when man
first felt the desire for beauty, traders
searched the world for dyestuffS, jew
els, perfumes, spices and precious
woods. The risk of these voyages was
great and only princes or mobiles could
afford the fruits of ventures to the far
corners of the world. No man of
humble origin could aspire TO the rich
crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple OF
ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 pound.
I Royal Purple is an age-old insignia
of aristocracy. This dye was secreted
by a small shellish on the Eastern
coast of the Mediterranean and here
the enterprising merchants of Tyre
formed dye monopoly equaled only
by the German Cartel.
A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by
this mollusk, if spread upon cloth
and exposed to the air and sunlight
turns first green, next blue and then
purple. If washed with an alkali soap
it becomes the magnificent Crimson
worn by the Cardinals and Princes OF
the Catholic Church. Tyrian purple
vanished from the marts of the world
with the fall of Tyre.
Synthetic chemistry learned the Sc
cret of making Royal Purple as, in
deed, it learned TO manufacture indigo,
the same deep blue that may be seen
today in museums, the winding sheets
of Egyptian mumnlies. 1t was an
achievement to snatch its distinctive
color from royalty and to rival the
best vegetable indigo of the an,
clients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that Today any kind
of dye found in nature can be made in
the laboratory. Indeed, among the goo
shades and colors being manufacturer
there are tints that it would be diffl-
cult TO discern in the rainbow. y

Because of the enormous demands
for war materials modern by-product

The rubber industry depends upon
these products for solvents, COM

Practically all types of paint now use

Clues, pastes and Photographic de-
