CHEMIST TELLS HOW HUMAN FOOD
CAN BE MADE FROM WOOD
German Informs Conference Products Use
for Man Is Feasible After Successful
Trial With Cattle.

, quantities Of both ammonia and nitro
gen are available as by-productS.
The liquefaction process, the speaker
asserted, has made feasible concentrated
fertilizers, which, if used at the proper
period in early Spring on Winter wheat,
would bring extra stalks; would enable
grass to remain green longer during
drought, and have already helped speed
cotton growth by three weeks, giving
the plant an advantage over the boil
weevil.
Prediction that low grades of coal,
which is plentiful in the Northwest,
some day will compete with bituminous
coal and may result in building up new
regions of industry in various parts of
the world, was made by DR.. F. P.
Kerchsbaum, German technician.
Americas stores of Ignite are prac-
tically untouched, and he gave as the
reason the fact that bituminous coal
in this country is cheaper than in any
other.
DR.. Edwin E. slosson, director of
Science Service, Washington, added a
new kingdom to the familiar animal,
vegetable and mineral realms, calling it
the synthetic kingdom" which is the
newly opened field of industrial chemis-
try.

SCIENTISTS STUDY
\. SIZE OF UNIVERSE
Or. ShapIey Called. on to Re.
I, port More Findings on
Earti1's Galaxy.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, November 81.
From a day devoted largely to con-
sideration of electrons, the National
Academy of Sciences today turned its
attention to the stars.
DR.. Harlow Shapley of Harvard. who
announced Monday that he and his as
sociates were practically certain they
had discovered the center of the earth's
particular galaxy of stars, in the milky
way about $4,000 light years away in
the direction of SagittariuS, was called
upon to report more of his discoveries.
Uses Brightness as Measure.
DR.. Shapley, in seeking the center of
Che earths galaxy and Of the entire
universe, which includes many other
similar galaxies, has found in the fuc-
tuating brightness of the cephiad vari-
able stars yardstick for measuring the
incredible distances he is considering.
Knowing that these stars, which have
regular periods of extreme brightness
and dullnesS, all have approximately the
same magnitude of light, he is able
to compute their distances from the
earth by comparing that Candlepower
with the amount which reaches his OBJ
servatory Some of those he has OBJ
served have been travelling 100000, 900
years, and it takes only 100000 years,
he says, for light ray to cross the en-
tire galaxy of which the earth is a part.
Studies MeteOr's Activity.
/ On the same program, DR.. Henry H.
Russell of Princeton contributed an
analysis of the behavior of meteoric
matter near the stars. Utilizing DR..
Shapley's estimate that billion
1neteors strike the earth every day and
other determinations showing that the
average mass of each meteorite cannot
exceed two milligrams, he has calcu-
lated that the total quantity of this
kind of matter falling into the sun is
mot more than go tons second.
The scientists were given demon
Etration, before their dinner last night, of
the new means which may overcome one
of the most difficult problems of modern
'education-the bringing of students in
closer contact with the great men of
science. It was the showing of a pho
,tophone picture in which a lecture on
oil films on water, by DR.. I. Langmuir
.of the General Electric Co. laboratories,
was reproduced, with number of dem
bnstrationS. His words were recorded
on the same film which showed his ac-
Fions.

PITTSBURGH, November 21.-The
human food that can now be made from
wood may not appeal to persons desir-
ing to reduce, but 1t 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 at the international
conference on bituminous coal at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology. He
is the German chemist who has con-
verted wood waste into an animal fod-
der. It is selling in competition in
Germany with natural fodder.
DR.. Bergius said that the human food
product that can be made from wood
is q white substance that may be de-
scribed as between starch and sugar.
He termed it a pure, f1avorless product
rich in edible carbohydrates.
Made From Waste.
''It may be made" he said, from
the waste celluloSe that occurs in great
quantities in wood waste and such
plants as cornstalks and cotton stalks
and in the hulls and shells of nuts.
ITO produce this as human food it
Is only necessary to remove the
chlorides and impurities from the cell
luloSe food now made for animal
fodder"
He said that it has been possible
in Germany to demonstrate the value of
the fodder to improve the weight Of
pigs. He thought that this fodder may
replace corn in Germany, but that
whatever advances are made in its use
are likely to be slow.
How coal can make two stalks of
wheat sprout in place of one in the
Northwest, keep the grass green in the
Mississippi Valley and help the cotton
beat the boil weevil in the South was
explained by c. H. Mcdowell, president
of the Armour Fertilizer Co., Chicago,
who explained fertilizers of ammonia
and nitrogen, which are derived from
coal. He said their growth would be
slow, but that it would be important to
both farmers and coal men.
First Made at Gas Plants.
The beginning, Mcdowell said, was
years ago, when, in order to remove the
odor from Illuminating gas, coal men
extracted the ammnia. Now. he said,

The Unemployment Renort.

About the only comfort to be derived
from the Secretary Of Labor'S report on
unemployment is that the situation is
not as had as it might Be nor as bad as
it has been pictured That nearly two
million men are out az work is serious.
But it Is not as serious es in 1921. for
Instance. when between five and six mil
lion men we're iobleSs And. while SEN
stor Wagner Of New York estimated &
few weeks ago that four million men
we're unemployed. the Labor Depart
ment's survey indicates that the NUM-
Der is less than two million. II Secrc-
tary Davis figures are encouraging.
therefore, the encouragement is only
relative There is no occasion for re-
joicing. nor should the seriousness OF
the situation be mininized. Unemploy-
ment is widespread and effective meas
ures are needed to reduce it. The only
practical remedy suggested by Secretary
Davis is the Inauguration of public
works programs by Federal State and
Municipal Governments
The Department of Labor survey in
dicates that the causes Of unemploy-
nsnt are such that the situation today
may Be considered temporary. rather
than the permanent effect Of deep
seated economic changes The foods
in the Mississippi Valley and New Eng
land. the Florida tornado. the long
standing industrial warfare in the BIZ
luminous coal fields and the temporary
shutdown Of major industrial plants
have decreased opportunities for em-
ployment. with an adverse effect upon
employment in other lines of industry
In addition, during this period Of less
ened employment opportunity. two hun
6red ard fifty-tWo thousand immigrants
came into the country. a considerable
proportion Of whom were prospective
laborers. the average influx Of rural
population into the cities amounted to
two hundred and five thousand persons.
while two millions Of American boys and
girls we're reaching the working age
These factors would tend to reduce the
opportunities for employment. Natural
reaojustments may be expected 10 bring
the cure.
But Secretary Davis mentions another
fact which is Just beginning TO receive
the attention which its Importance de-
serves. This is that inventive genius
which has developed machinery TO do
the work Of many men, must now turn
SIS attention 70 the creation Of new
wants. which in turn win bring sbou;
occupation for those whose places have
been usuTped by machinery. Unless
this Is done the blessings and benefits
from this age Of machinery and eff
cient production may turn into boom
eraEgs.
Il is sign Of progress when machine
is invented 70 take the places CT score
Of strong -muscled men and releases
these men 70 other channels Of produc-
tiyeness. But unless these channels are
opened, the machine takes on the alarm
