D. C. PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY

Or. Claude S. Hudson of U. S.
Public Health Service Finds
5 of 5O-odd Varieties.
Many UnsoIved Riddles Con-
cerning Humanity's Fuel
Subject of Experiments.
Sugar is the fuel of animal life.

Sugar is the fuel of animal life.
In the organic world it has about
the same place and Importance as coal
in the world of machinery.
Thus DR.. Claude S. Hudson, profeS-
sor of chemistry at the hygienic labo-
ratory of the United States Public
Health Service, speaks of the funda-
mental significance of the field of re-
search for which last week he was
awarded the Willard Gibbs medal of
the American Chemical Society, one of
the most coveted of all awards open to
American chemists.
For 20 years DR.. Hudson has studied
sugar in various Government labora-
tories in Washington. He is the dis
coverer of five of the 50-odd varieties
of sugar known to chemistry and he
has found simpler ways of producing
many other kinds. His recent appoint
ment to the hygienic laboratory places
him in a position for researches con-
nected more directly with the biological
significance of sugar, field which con-
tains some of the most interesting OF
unsolved scientific riddles.
Lives on Fat and Sugar.
The animal body, DR.. Hudson said,
lives by burning two things-fat and
sugar. Fat is simply sugar in another
form, built up out of sugar in the body
cells by a process concerning the ma
ture of which science has not the Slight
est clue. Fat is stored coal which the
cells make from sugar and then pack
away for cold day or for time when

Food May Be Sugar.
It's only value is as food for certain
kinds of micro-organiSms. That is not
saying. however, that eventually 1t may
not be. of very great practical value.
Micro-organisms of various kinds may
some day be considerable source of
human food. A good deal OF cheese
consists of the bodies of such micro
organisms. Yeast is very little else.
Other kinds may become just as valu-
able-and their food may be these rare
sugars.
Dr. Hudson points out the significance
Of sugar in the future economy OF the
human race. 1t is the primary fuel
of life from which other fuels are made.
It may be possible to obtain 1t in vast
quantities from what now is agricul-
tural waste. But, DR.. Hudson says, the
first consideration is the vast extent OF
the worlds area, now uncultivated,
which is capable of producing sugar,
probably better than anything else.
This area includes the Amazon and
Congo Basins The methods of extract

peanut, from which the fat is recovered
as oil.
Only a plant can make sugar. The
process is one which science cannot
duplicate and the nature of which 1t
understands only vaguely. The plant
reaches out with its roots for water,
takes carbon dioxide from the air and
then, by the process of photosyntheSis,
combines in the mixture energy trans
mitted to it by sunlight. 1t is this
energy which is released when the sugar
is burned IN the human body.
Thus, says DR.. Hudson, sugar Is one
of the two fundamental things in
human and animal nutrition. The
other fundamental, the protein, is not
burned, but is the material used in
building up the tissues. The greater
part of the cells in the body are en-
gagged in burning or storing sugar.
Sugar Animal Fuel.
All the sugars, DR.. Hudson says, are
potential animal fuels, but only a few
of them can be burned In the special
kind of furnace with which man and
the higher animals are equipped. The
most notable of these are SucrOSe, the
common sugar of commerce made from
sugar cane, beetS maple Sirup, etc.;
dextrose, made from milk and widely
used in special food preparations; grape
or corn sugar, and levulose, ~!most
twice as sweet as cane sugar, which
now is the subject of extensive expert
ments at the Bureau of Standards in
an effort to extract it cheaply from
Jerusalem artichokes. Most of the other
sugars, DR.. Hudson says, are useless in
themselves as articles of diet for man
and the higher animals. They simply
will not burn in the body.
Some of them, however, are ideally
suited to burn in other kinds of animal
furnaces-those of the micro-organisms
which will not burn sucrose or dex-

trose. Some micro-organisms viii die
of Immediately unless they get their
own kind of sugar. This is the basis
of important laboratory tests for telling
them apart. 1t is with this fact in
view that some of Dr. Hudson's most
notable scientific work has been ac-
complished.
When he came to the Department of
Agriculture in 1908 very few of the rare
sugars could be obtained by laboratory
workers, even from chemical speciality
houses. The formulas for them could
be obtained only from the papers OF
the discoverers and each bacteriologist
had to make them for himself.
DR.. Hudson set to work to make
sufhcient supply of most of the so
varieties so that the Department OF
Agriculture laboratories always would
have some on hand. The amount re-
uuired seldom was more than few
pounds, but often this was extremely
difficult to produce. There was, for in
stance, xylose. It had been discovered
many years before by a Russian chem
Ist. It was extracted from beech trees
in extremely minute quantities. Or.

Seized by Policeman K. o. Speiss of
the sixth precinct after he is alleged to
have attempted the theft of two auto
mobiles early this morning, William
King, colored, 26 years old, of the 100
block Third street southeast, put up
such battle that the policeman was
forced to use his baton, sending the
man to the hospital.
Speiss said that he was patrolling his
beat at First and K streets northeast
when he saw King make what he
Thought was an attempt to start

Not being certain, he watched the
man until he climbed into another car
and then grabbed him. King put up
such a stiff fight for his freedom that
Speiss drew his baton and struck him
several times. After treatment at Cas-
ualty Hospital King was taken to the
sixth precinct station house, where he
is held for investigation.

ing sugar, he said, now have reached
such degree of refinement that 1t can
be produced very cheap, selling at re-
tail around cents a pound. This
leads him to believe that 1t will con-
stitute a primary raw material in the
production of meats, etc.
All sugars, Dr. Hudson says, are more
or less sweet. although in some, such
as dextroSe, the sweetness is not very
apparent. Some have touch OF bit
terness with the sweet. The sweetest
is less than two times sweeter than
cane sugar.
Besides his practical and theoretical
work with sugar Dr. Hudson is respon-
sible for important experiments with
confectionery in the laboratories of the
Department of Agriculture and with the
production of table sirups. He also
discovered a method for making acti-

This coal of the animal furnace is
made up of approximately one atom of
carbon and one molecule of water, of
the general formula CHIC. This varies
slightly through the long range of
sugars, most of them extremely rare.
When the animal cells change sugar into
fat the remove most of the oxygen pro-
ducing a fuel that burns more readily
and gives off more heat. Plants also,
to limited extent, make fat, DR.. Hud-
son says, a notable example being the

curacy that the entire political power
Of the country was held by less than
1000 persons.
Still another fact to be remembered
Is the importance Of the capital city
in each country. In practically every
case the capital is also the metropolis
and as a rule there are no other large
cities. The consequence OF all these
conditions is that in each country Mr..
Hooyer's visit brought him substantially
into contact with and in view Of the
whole population.
Think i'm Terms of Men.
The most important fact of all is
that South America does its political
thinking chiefly in terms of men rather
than of parties. During campaigns the
parties often take on the names of
their leaders. The party counts little
and the man very much. South Amer
leans rely on the man rather than on
the party. To persons Of this habit
of mind, Mr.. Hoover is the party in
power in the United States. To their
method of political thinking, If Mr..
Hoover is man of good will, then the
United States Is all right.
When Mr.. Hoover's journey to South
America Is seen by our people in the
light of these South American condi-
tions, the Importance and the success
of it can be the better realized.
To the conditions already recited add
the further fact that, according to all
testimony, Latin Americans have ex-
traordinary powers of quick and far
reaching insight into personality and
character. Possibly this faculty of
theirs accounts for their practicing poll
tics in terms of personalities. In any

PLOTTER AGAINST
MORROW IS TAKEN
Mexican Insurgent Leader,
Credited With Two Kidnap
Attempts, Under Arrest.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, December 2S.-
Maximiliano Vigueras, insurgent leader,
credited with two attempts to capture
United States Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow, was under arrest today. He
was captured in the town of Chalco
compliance with the new ruling against
summary executions of insurgents.
Depredations laid to Vigueras have
so affected tourist travel that the Ma
tional Highways Commission had Of
fered reward Of 5000 pesos ($2,50O)
for his capture.
Planned to Surrender.
vigueras told newspaper men that
upon learning President Portes Gil had
Promised fair trial for every one, in

SELF, he decided to surrender. He was
en- route to Ayotzingo to meet man
who was to arrange private meeting
for him with the governor of the state
for the purpose Of negotiating his sur
render. One of his relatives. lieu
tenant in the Home Guard troops at
the town of Chalco, however, captured
him, but four companions succeeded
in escaping.
Vigueras added that he had been
an inSurgent since 1910, fighting against
all governments, but that he admired
PorteS Gil and wished to return to
peaceful life.
Police announced that letters on the
stationery of the League for Defense
of Religious Liberty were found in
VigueraS' pockets and that these in
structed him as to the manner in which
he was to carry on his campaign against
the government. The letters were
signed "Chief of the special commit
tee directing the army Of liberation"
Both Attempts Failed.
The first attempt to capture Am
baSSador Morrow with which Vigueras
is credited occurred about five months
ago on the highway between Mexico
City and Puebla, when the Ambassador
was returning from Puebla. Although q
number of automobiles were stopped on
the road about the time the Morrow
car was due to pass the Ambassadors
automobile got through safely.
A. second attempt was made on the
Cuernavaca highway when Mr.. Morrow
was returning to Mexico City after
spending week end at Cuernavaca.
VigueraS' men attacked the town of
Huitzilac on the highway and they were
credited with intending to capture the
Ambassador when he drove through.

rallied and drove the insurgents from
the town before the Ambassador ar

In the parades and among the crowds
one could see that quick, penetrating
look at Mr. Hoover then the smile and
the lighting up of the eyes that ex-
pressed confidence, and finally the nod

The result of Mr.. Hoover's visit IS,
among other effects, that it will be diff
ficult for any South American equiva-
lent of our own Mayor Thompson OF
Chicago to make political capital out OF
agitation against the United States.
And it will be difficult for the radical
press of South America to persuade the
people that the United States, as sym
