Science

The old question OF what is life
is being rapidly narrowed down.
AS a result of long study, DR.. Her
bert M Evans, University of Cali
fornia, recently discovered that steril-
lty in animals is due to the lack OF a
certain vitamine. Or. Evans now has
a small bottle containing all that has
been isolated and all that has been
made in the world of this new anti.
sterility vttamlne. A dose of one
tenth of a gramme of this substance
will cause q sterile female animal to
bear offspring.
1t will be months before the re-
searches Of DR.. Evans will be given
to the world through scientific chan.
nels. Meanwhile his work has gone
far enough so that all scientists are
awaiting the details with great inter.
est. The substance which DR.. Evans
finally has isolated is distracted from
certain foods by means Of ether The
original experiments were made by
means of white rats. Since then
they have been carried far enough to
indicate that sterility soon may be
banished wherever desired.

On the Horizon
BY BERTON BRALEY

Looming against the distant trim
A ship, with all her sails in trim,
Is vanishing into the blue,
Seeking far ports shall not view.
Perhaps her sails are soiled and
frayed,
Her decks with coal-dust overlaid,
But seen afar across the sea,
She is a Ship of Dreams to me.
And II her cargo have the scent
OF spices of the Orient,
or reek of guano and of hides,
/ know not, but | know she rides.
On rolling deeps that would cross
And that about her bows there toss
Bright showers of the salty spray,
And that her mast-heads swing and
sway;
And that I'd almost sell my soul
To feel her decks beneath me roll,
And hear her timbers strain and
creak,
And sense the salt wind on my
cheek.
l think there is no loveIier sight,
Vouchsafed to give the eyes delight
Than is ship, with sails atrim,
Against the far horizons rim.

NOMINATION
President Loses No Time in
Forming Own Organization
as Party Boss,
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

T n j..
Times Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON Aug. 10.-Within
IlW the next month or two every
member of the former Harding
Cabinet must decide whether or not
he will support President Coolldges
campaign for denomination and re-
election to the White House next
year.
This became perfectly clear to- the
Cabinet secretaries as soon as they
saw the way in which President
Coolidge took over the reins of gov
eminent.
The new President hurried to Wash
ington not only prepared to run the
government, but bringing with him
the nucleus of an organization for
capturing party leadership and the
denomination that goes with it, Cool
idge is losing no time at all In noak-
ir6 himself boss.
Policy Is Aggressive
This aggressive policy Of the Presi-
dent has given the old Harding Cab
met members something to worry
about. Most Of them are not yet
ready to decide whether or not they
consider Mr.. Coolidge the man to lead
the Republican party.
Each and every secretary, by wire,
letter or by word of mouth, offered
his resignation, with the explanation
he would stay on the Job as long az
the new President needed him, but
expressing willingness to step out and
make way for a Coolidge man as soon
as that man was named.
In each case Coolidge refused the
resignation, bgut in some cases he did
II much more earnestly than in others.
For instance. when Postmaster Gen
eral New offered his resignation, Coo
lidge was effusive in his effort to per
suade New to stay
Wants New as Ally
This was taken to mean Coolidge
wants New for his strategic political
value In building a Middle West ma
| chine. Another valuable man is At
| torney General Daugherty. from a po-
litical point Of view, but his health
is offered as the excuse for leaving
/ the Cabinet early.
It so happens New is not ready TO
pledge his fealty TO Coolidge. The
same may apply to Secretary Hoover
who. if he stays in the Cabinet must
openly disavow any presidential as
| pirations as long as Coolidge is his
chief
| One man who declared for Coolidge
at once was Secretary of War Weeks
who may become the Presidents cam
paign manager. The difficulty
Coolidge faces is the Harding Cabinet
selections who would be most vaIua-
BILE to him are not ready to hitch
! themselves to his star at once. Hoover
is one man he needs, for the sake OF
| the Western vote.
Hughes Hangs Back
! He wants Hughes. but quiet little
! Hughes boom started by a group OF
Senators makes it doubtful whether
/ Hughes is ready to count himself er.
/ tirely out of the running Work
! Wallace and DENLY are regarded as
uuimportant factors. from a political
point Of view
In view of this situation. and the
aggressive Coolidge booming being
done right under the Presidents nose
| by his New England friends, II win
not be surprising at all to see sonra
Cabinet designations taken seriously
