they were so intent on the battle

Judging from your letter. Arx-

admitted to you or your family
that he il married, though CIR
cumstantial evidence would point
to the conclusion that he has

Assuming that he IL married
and il concealing the fact, It may
possibly be that he Is one Of those
conceited men who think that
their personal attractiveness to
women helps them In their pro

AS long as his interest in you
continues to be only mildly friend
w. don't let the question OF his
being married worry you one way
or the other. But If he should
begin to take personal interest
youn naturally wish to make
sure, especially If you're inclined
to like him and wish to ericour.
age his friendship.
In that case find out definitely
whether he's married.
If you find that he Is mar
ried and is living life by posing
as an unmarried man, you will be
able to protect yourself by re-
refusing to accept attentions from
him.
There are many men ana
women who rather than lose 2

take no chances--find out def

settled by an older, responsible
man friend or relative. And un.
til you know a man Is not mar

thoughts Of him and your actions
that he is a married man.
A man not kind and frank and
fair enough to deal honestly with
women regarding the fact Of his
marriage is unworthy Of serious
consideration. Don't worry and
lose sleep over such an individ-
uaI. Rather think Of him and
treat him as mere casuei &C

HUMAN RACE
FACED WITH
LACK OF FOOD
Science In Race Against Time
To Prevent Destruction
of Man
BY DAVID DIETZ
NEA Service Writer

Pittsburg, June 5.-Science is in
race against time to prevent the
de struction Of the human race.
The details of the fight were told
me in an exclusive interview mere
by one of the leaders Of the battle,
Dir. ID. 7. Macdougal. director of the
department Of botanical research oil
the Carnegie Institute of Technolo-
gy, and director Of the desert labor
atory at Tucson. Arz.
1t is out in the Arizona laboratory
that Dr. Macdougal and his associ-
ates are carrying on the battle.
This is the situation today: Inc
human race is using up it's reserves
of coal, lumber and oil as such a
rate that the final extinction OF TINS
fuel supply is not far ahead.
Increasing Too Fast
The human race is increasing at
such rate that it will not be so many
wears before population begins TO
exceed the supporting power OF the
land.
The human race is faced. hence,
by lack of food. fuel and power.

done slowly and laboriously on the
farm"
Two lines of attack are being fol-
lowed. One is actual study of living
trees and the measurement of what
goes on within them.
The other is the building Of arti-
fetal devices to seek to duplicate
with them the action which goes on
in the living plant cell.
Mr., Macdougal has built an arti
fetal cell, in the form of cylinder
three inches long and one inch in
diameter, of materials resembling
those found in plant cells. The ar
tifical cells will function like liv
ing cell for three or four days be-
fore finally running down.

absorb the carbon dioxide out of the
air and turn it into carbohydrates
of sugars.
What Macdougal and his asso-
ciates seek, therefore. is to know as
much as a plant knows-to know
how to duplicate the processes Of
plants.
1--WE must learn how to obtain the
products of agriculture-sugars and
arbohydrates--in greater quanti-
ties. in less time. and more economi-
cally than we do now" says Mac
dougal.
Do What Plants Do
We must work for the day when
we can do in the manufacturing
