WOOD NOW BEING USED FOR FOOD
German Scientist Ttlls Of h.
 ereditnE Of New Diet

Pittsburgh. Nov. 21 N-The hu- man food that can now be made from wood may not appeal to per- sons desiring 10 reduce, but it is otherwise one of the widely used elements in table diet.
 What elements will constitute this food from wood were disclosed by Dr. Friedrich Bergius in an in- formal talk at the second interna- tional conference on bituminous coal at the Carnegie Institute of Tech nology. He is the youthful appear. ing German chemist who has con- verted wood waste into an animal fodder that is selling in competition in Germany with natural fodder. and who told the coal conference how wood is turned into real coal. Dr. Bergius said that the human food product that can be made from wood is white substance that may be described as between starch and sugar. It is not sweet. He term ed it pure. flavorless product rich in edible carbohydrates and said it i can be turned into normal glucose Its Source

 Asked what varieties of table prod ucts might be made from the wood product and what havors might be added. pr. Bergius re- piled:
 Won't Discuss It
 II do not wish to discuss that, but only to state that 1t is possible to make an edible human food"
 He said it has been possible in Germany to demonstrate the value of the synthetic fodder in . bal

MYSTERY STILL BATTLES POLICE
Rothstein Case Has Not Been
 Solved as Yet

New York, Nov. 21 (UP)-Some- where in New York today. Mrs. Ruth Reyes, Chicago model. will closely scan four pictures in an at- tempt to help find the murderer Of Arnold Rothstein.
 Now that Mrs. Reyes is in New York, she is almost as much Of a mystery as she was before detectives located her in Chicago and persuded her to come back to tell what she knows about the shooting of Broad ways most notorious gambler in the Park Central hotel on the night of Nov. {.
 Due Yesterday
 Mrs. Reyes was due to arrive at the Grand Central terminal late yes- terday afternoon, but she was taken off the train at 125th street. Where she went after that only police know and they refuse to say anything about it. She was said to have been questioned at police headquarters and at District Attorney Joab Ban- tons office. but neither report could be confirmed.
 Among the pictures she will ex- anime is one of George McManus, whose overcoat was found in the room in which Rothstein was fatally shot. Mrs. Reyes had room near Room 349, to which Rothstein. was summoned on the night he was shot. She told of being invited to the room where she had several drinks with man known to her only as Jack" but said she had never seen Rothstein and knew nothing about the murder. Mrs. Reyes checked out of the Park Central hotel the da, after the shooting.
 Mayor on Warpath
 Meanwhile Mayor James J. Walk CT. who has been threatening dras- tice action against the police because of the delay in solving the Roth- stein case. announced that the period of grace" for the detectives had been extended indefinitely.
 II am not satisfied with the way the investigation has progressed, Walker said. but I cannot see what advantage I would gain by making a change in the men who are work ing on the case"
 Police still are working on the theory that Rothstein was shot be. cause he refused to pay gambling debt of more than $300.000 which he is believed to have incurred in q poker game at Jimmy Meehan's apartment on the night of Sept. 29
 It is believed there were four men in the hotsl room when RothsteiT was shot and police are hopeful that Mrs. Reyes will be able te identify some of them.
 Find But Little
 Another Rothstein legend ct. 'aps. ed yesterday when detectives opened the safe in the gamblers Fifth ave- nue home. Instead of finding for tune and clues that would help then solve a dozen baffling crimes. the authorities discovered only two wed. ding rings, sheaf of bills and two bankbooks.
 Papers were filed with the probate clerk in surrogates court by Gainsburg. counsel for Rothstein': father. accusing Maurice r. Cantor the gamblers attorney, of guiding Rothstein's hand in making his las will just before he died.
 That will left the income from cne-sixth of Rothstein's estate tt IneZ Norton, former show girl.
 The papers protested the validit, of the will and demanded a jur, trial to settle the issue. Gainsburs said a contest over the will was un. avoidable and that he expects it tt start sometime in January.

SCIENTISTS WILL TALK ASTRONOMY
Turn From Discussion of nG'
 tronS to the Stars

Schenectady, N. r.. Nov. q R- From a day devoted largely to con- sideration of electrons. those invfs- ible chunks of energy which make up all matter. the National Academy of Sciences today turned its atten- tion toward the stars
 Dr. Harlow Shapley of Harvard. who announced Monday that he and his associates were practically cer- tain they had discovered the center of the earth's particular galaxy of stars in the milky way about 47,- 900 light years away in the direction of Sagittarius, was called upon to report more of his discoveries
 Seeks Center
 This youthful astronomer, in seeking the center not only of the earth's galaxy but of the entire uni verse, which includes many other similar galaxies revolving in space about individual centers millions of light years away, has found in the fuctuating brightness of the cephiaj variable stars a yardstick for meas uring the incredible distances he is considering.
 Knowing that these stars. which have regular periods of extreme brightness and intervening periods of relative dullness. all have ap- proximately the same magnitude of light, he is able to compute their distances from the earth by com pairing that candlepower with the amount which reaches his observa- tory. The difference tells him how much of the brightness has been lost, and from that he can calcu- late how many years the light rays he is able to see have been travel ing at the rate of 1S6.OO0 miles q second reaching the earth. Some of those lH has observed have been travelling 100.O00,O00 years, and it takes only 100000 years. he says. for a light ray to cross the entire galaxy. of which the earth is a part.
 To Study Neblllae
 His two papers on today's pro- gram had to do with the absokNte magnitudes of long period varia bles and a study of the coma Virgo cluster of nebulae far out beyond the earth's galaxy.
 On the same program. Dr. Henry N. Russell of Princeton contributed an analysis of the behaviour of meteoric matter near the stars. Utilizing Dr. Shapley's estimate that 1000 million meteors strike the earth every day and other deter minations showing that the average mass of each meteorite cannot ex- ceed two milligrams, he has calcu- lated that the total quantity of this kind of matter falling into the sun is not more than 60 tons . second.
 The distinguished scientists at- tending the meeting, many of whom are associated with large educa- tional institutions. were given a demonstration before their dinner last night of the new means which may overcome one of the most diff ficult problems of modern educa- tion, the bringing of students in closer contact with the great men of science. It was the showing of a photophone picture in which a lec- ture on oil films on water by Dr. I. Langmuir of the General Electric company laboratories. was repro duced, with a number of demon- strations. His words were recorded
