Wire i'm Acid Found to
Act Like Human Nerve

According to A. j. Carlson, chair
man of the department of physi-
ology at the University of Chicago,
the study of this similarity is of
fundamental Importance in the
acquisition of knowledge concern
ing nervous action. THE obscure
problems of physiology" said DR..
Carlson, land the problems diff
cult to work out on experimental
animals must be approached
through study on easily comfortable
materials"
The freakish behavior of pure
iron in nitric acid has long been
known but it was not till DR.. Lille
began his experiments that the al
most startling similarity with living
nerves was discovered. A popular
demonstration of the experiment
consists of a pure iron wire, one to
five centimeterS long, immersed in

wire as rapidly as the film is re-
formed"
The analogy to nervous action Is
emphasized by the effect which
outside factors have upon the
rhythm of the wire. The influence
of temperature, electrical polart-
cation. concentration of acid and
length of wave, have been shown
by DR.. Lille to be the same as the
influence Of these factors on living
nerves.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA striking
similarity between nervous action,
particularly heart action, and the
behavior of iron wire in nitric
acid bath has been discovered and
studied by Ralph S. Lille, profess
sor of physiology at the University
of Chiacgo. He has been working
out the analogy for several years
and it forms a significant part Of
his theories concerning nervous &C

book form and, more recently, in

PoStOffiCe Handling Rush OF
Business With Great
Success.

Use of the air mail was suggest
ed to belated Christmas mailers,
who have packages or letters for
distant states, by Postmaster Rob-
ert H. Bryson today.
1t is too late now to mail pack
ages to a number of states, includ-
ing California, Arizona, Colorado
Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana,
New Mexico, Oregon. Texas, Utah
Washington and Wyoming. III
most instances however, Bryson
said, use of the air mail may result
in the packages reaching their DIES
tination by Christmas.
Use of special delivery stamps
also was urged for late parcels, as
there will be no regular delivery
Christmas day.
The Christmas rush is being
handled with remarkable success by
the augmented force of postal
workers. Extra tables and clerks
with scales for weighing parcels
have been placed in the east cor
ridor of the Federal building.
BrySon SAID ne expected CIle peak
load of both incoming and outgoing
mail late Thursday or Friday.
Increase in Christmas greeting
cards has been noted this year.
One reason for the lack Of con-
fusion at the postoffice thus far,
Bryson indicated, has been the early
mailing of both parcels and greet
ing cards.
