SCIENTISTS FIND VITAL SUBSTANCE
0oeytin Starts Process Of Life
 in Sea UrchinS' Eggs

Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 51 P}- Chance, which the man in the street regards as more at home in a gambling hall than in the scientists s laboratory, was a factor in the dis covery Of oocytin, the strange sub stance with which University of California biochemists can start the vital processes in the eggs of sea urchins.
 The late Dr. Jacques Loeb, bio- chemist of national reputation, made the original discovery some time before 1909. He was hunting for specific catalytic agent which starts the development process from the life cell" The universitys off cial announcement says that, casting about for materials which might further exploration of this unknown field, he "chanced to try a blood serum, and using the eggs of the sea urchin, he met with success"
 With that one contribution, the flckle goddess of the gaming table disappears from the stage. In her place came patient work to perfect the new and startling process.
 Dr. T. B. Robertson, formerly head of the department of biochem- istry at California, and at present at the University of Adelaide, Aus tralia, took up the work where Dr. Loeb left off. His successors, Dr. Guy W. Clark and Paul w. Sharp continued the experiments and an- nounced the result here yesterday.
 Found In> All Blood
 Oocytin is found in the blood of all animals. the scientists reported but the highest percentage seems to be present in the blood of fowls When it is reduced to relatively pure state it is grayish white powder. It requires ten gallons of blood to produce 9 to ' of a gram of oocytin.
 The eggs to be fertilized are re- moved from the animals and placed in a bowl. and a small amount oi oocytin dissolved in sea water Is added. The oocytin acts as spark or trigger-pull to start the life pro, cess" Sand the formation of mem. brane takes place in from 20 min utes to several hours. The scientists explain that the time varies accord irp of oocytin used. Elaborate care was taken to obtain eggs previously un- fertilized.
 Cannot Analyze It
 Although the scientists have stud. jed the marvellous effects of oocytir they have been unable to analyze it. In a communication to the ! American Journal of Biological Chemistry, Dr. Clark states that nothing can be said as to the chemical composition of the sub- stance except that it contains purinc bases and carbohydrates. It ap- pears to be protein substance, but beyond that there has been no suc- cess in specific analysis"
 The official statement issued by the university asks that care be taken to void exagserating the sig nifcance of the discovery.
 We particularly ask that no one confuse the work being done by oocytin with any discovery of the mystery of life itself" says the statement.
 Dr. Clark reported that the ex- periments had been tried success. fully on other organisms than the sea urchin, but that the scientists were not at all interested in produc. ing synthetic" animals or gratify. ing morbid curiosity"

Grand PoW-Wow of Drys
Held to Insure Loyalty

BY JOSEPH S.. WASNEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Plans
for prohibition enforcement work
during the fall and winter months
were to be drafted at a conference
of Federal dry administrators meet
ing at the treasury today.
Administrators representing every
State. Hawaii and Alaska attended
the meeting to receive their new
working orders from Seymour Low
man, former lieutenant governor of
New York, who will succeed Gen. L..
G. Andrews as Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury on Aug. l.
Lowman is unofficially the "dry
car" of the United States, although
Andrews still holds his treasur. post
three weeks longer. The prohibition
destiny of America will hereafter
be directed, by the New Yorker.
Read Little Book
The first business of the con-
ference, after welcoming addresses,
was to present each field officer with
a prohibition Manual" This book
written by Major Herbert H. White,
assistant prohibition commissioner,
tells just howsthe law should be en-
forced and in what manner.
Lessons in how to make con-
spiracy cases, how to make arrests,
the proper conduct for dry agents,
how to prosecute cases of law vio-
lators, how to detect their agents,
the use of fire arms and in fact
every phase of work connected with
prohibition enforcement is covered
in the manuel.
The next order of business was a
tpep" session to work up enthusiasm
among the administrators. Good
spirits and good morale are essential
to succeed in dry enforcement work,
Andrews believes. -
Just Back Patting
The rally appeared, however, to be
staged to assure support for Low
man for the men who were all ap-
pointed by Andrews to their present
posts. Andrews built up the prohi-
bition machine over a two-year Pc
Rod, and he does not desire it to
crumble shortly after he leaves Of
flee.
Nevertheless, several adninistra-
tors indicated they intended to re-
sign from the service within short
time. They stated they had taken
adninistratorships because Of their
friendship with Andrews, and now
that he is retiring they would leave
also.
Many Vacancies
Lownlan will have several vacan-
cies to fill, but he will be guided in
this matter and other policy matters
by DR.. j. M. Doran, prohibition COM
missioner. The principal posts to
be vacated are chief of foreign con-
troll, held by Harry j. Anslinger, and
Federal wine control supervisor, held
by H. Keith Weeks.
Lowman does not intend to make
his reign as dry generalissimo spec
tacular. His program will be en-
forcement on sound basis, without
a glare of publicity or cheers. He
plans to enforce the law strictly to
the letter, and at the same time
make enforcement as inoffensive as
possible, and in this manner win
public support for the dry law.
