SUNLIGHT And
AIR SOURCES OF
FOOD IN FUTURE
indianapolis Chemist Is Not
Worried Over SpeCter
of Starvation.
BIZ Science Serrice

BW Science Serrice
EVANSTON, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-The
specter Of starvation pressing on an
overpopulated world is something
the chemist refuses to worry about.
Economists and Sociologists have
concerned themselves over the
population problem ever since NAL
thus worked out a statistical ex-
preston of it over a century ago, but
they always assume unchanging
methods for the production of food.
At the meeting here of the In
stitute of Chemistry of the Amer
lean Chemical Society, DR.. H. E.
Barnard of Indianapolis challenged
these assumptions, and declared
that the chemist will be able to meet
the food problems of any imaginable
future population. The only thing
that can limit the race is sheer lack
of standing room, he said.
Impatient at Doctrine
1.-THE sociologist and economist
study the Malthusian doctrine very
differently from the chemist" DR..
Barnard continued. "They would
limit world population to the num-
Der of people, who can live happily
and comfortably under the best
living conditions today.
1.-The chemist is not so much in
terested in ideal living conditions
as in applying scientific law to do
the work of the world, no matter
whether it is concerned with shelter
or food or comfort.
The chemist is impatient when he
hears the Malthusian doctrine dis
cuSsed in terms of wheat acreage, or
sugars, or fats, for he is confident
that when the fertile acres of the
earth do not produce crops sufficient
for mems needs he can synthesize
them in his laboratory. Indeed he
is already doing it.
when the need comes the
chemist will convert the light of the
sun and the nitrogen of the air into
food for the human family.
Thirty men working in factory
the size of a city block can produce
in the form of yeast as much food
as 1000 men tilling $1,000 acres
under ordinary agricultural con-
ditions.
ITO the chemist the Malthusian
doctrine is but the sad reflection Of
a pessimistic world"

few months by dealers from all
parts of the world, all intent upon

It is now confirmed that the

Try to Keep Prices Low
The orders of Moscow are
that they are to be sold, even if al
a depreciation from their cata-
logued value, and naturally the buy
ers are anxious to keep the prices
as low as possible and are not
spreading the news of their finds in
the more obscure galleries.
In addition to the paintings, g
large quantity of French furniture
dating back to the beginning of the
18th century, also has been de-
spatched from Moscow. Included
in this set of artistic bargains are
to be found many pieces signed by
Riesener.
There also are numerous tapes

SHIPPING BOARD
PUTS Liners ON
AUCTION BLOCK
United States and Merchant
Vessels Offered For
Sale.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Memo
Ties of the good old pre-war days
when England and Germany were
engaged in a war for biggest and
best transatlantic liners are raised
by the approaching sale of the
United States and American mer-
chant lines by the Shipping Board
Germany built most of the big
gest and fastest liners-Leviathan
Majestic, Berengaria and Homeric,
all British ships. Then came the
war and Britain and the United
States divided up the cream of the
Hamburg American and North Ger
man Lloyd shipping. Sooner or
later, we'll make very modest set
Element with Germany for the 100
or more of her ships which we
seized in wartime.
Leviathan for Sale
Meanwhile the Government is
asking for bids for the best of the
lot, Most Importantly, the six YES
sells of the United States Lines, of
which only the President Harding
and President Roosevelt, little $4,000
ton affairs, are not ex-German.
The 60,OO0-ton Leviathan, biggest
ship af1oat, used to be the Water
land. The George Washington, 25,-
500 tons, was so named by the Ger
mans for the American trade. The
22000-ton America was the German
Amerika and the Republic, $4,000
tons, was the President Grant of the
Hamburg American.
Also associated with the United
States Lines are the sister ships
Mount Vernon and Monticello, 49,
900 tons, now conditioned as trans
ports and lying idle since the war
in the Pawtucket river near Nor
folk.
The Mount Vernon used to be the
KronprinzesSin Cecilie. She was
informed at Bar Harbor and brought
down to Boston, where the Germans
attempted to blow her up.
Must Keep Schedules
The American Merchant Lines, on
the auction block with the afore-
mentioned eight, sport the American
Merchant, American Banker, Amer
lean Trader, American Shipper and
American Farmer. They were built
to be" troop transports and now
operate on a weekly schedule, car
rying passengers and cargo between
New York and London
The sale will probably bring be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $25,OOO,OO0, ac-
cording to one authority, who be-
lieves the American Merchant ships
are worth only about 100000 apiece.

.bAsKET TBA[L GAMES | POSTPONED LAST NIGHT
 BE PLAYED TONIGHT

The mild young blizzard, which swooped down on Seward yesterday, created havoc in the mountain tops, and also threw a "monkey-wren " into the hopes and ambitions of local basketball players. Not content with
 blocking the railroad another slide came down across the intake of the Seward Light & Power Co.,, water pipes, halting the flow of water thru the generators and the lights went out of commission for two hours. Spectators, who began entering the club gymnasium at an early hour last evening were notified that the al- ready dimmed lights might be alright in an hour or so, but on the other hand, not so good, The hour of O. clock rolled arounnd the pitch black hall remained in darkness. This was the signal for the fans to reluctant ly turn their steps homeward. While the hour was rolling by in the hall the band played several sell ections with it's usual satisfying flare. A couple of tenors rendered solos and altogether the delay passed rapidly.
 The sad part of the whole affair was when Sergeant Probasco, physi- cal director and ticket-taker pro tenn had to issue rain checks and refund ed cash fares.
 However, the same teams will meet tonight and settled all disputes. The program remains the same with the possible exception the high school boys are more confident today they VIII SILK lU0 Al AoOh, AAASS S- ker and all.
 Though the hall was rather murky Hast night Edw. Sandbeck and Sam Estes, who will be seen in the girls game, looked like a couple of slickers such was the ease and dexterity which
 they were tossinng in throws. The girls want to look to their laurels
 this evening when these young adon' 1 ises strut their stuff.

 College men from Southeastern Alas
