Cell Structure

TIME study of cells reveal that
Il they possess a complex organiZa-
ton of their own. Most living
things, both plants and animals, be-
gan life as a fertilized egg cell.
BY a process of division, the cell
multiplies as it grows, becoming, two
then four. then finally billions.
Each cell reveals a definite Struc-
ture. Within the cell, there Is q
denser spot known as the nucleus.
Within the nucleus is a network OF
fibrous material known as the
chromatin network.
During the process Of cell division.
this network breaks up into little
rods called chromosomes. Each
chrornsome splits lengthwise in two,
so that when the cell has become
two cells, each one has exactly half
of the original chromatin material.
The chromatin material Is COM
posed of smaller divisions known as
genes.
The work of Morgan at Columbia
and other experiments has shown
that the genes are the carriers OF
heredity.
Size, structural features, color OF
eyes. and many other details are
controlled by the genes.
Professor Witzemann feels, how
ever, that the gap between the
atoms of matter and the details OF
cell structure is too large.
He believes that to exlain the be-
havior of the cells arts we must
look for intermediate organizations.
These would be the biochemical
atoms, the atoms Of life.

on these glad tidings, recovering to
point where the losses of Monday

to know?

under the table, and buy only for
investment.
France opposes President Hoo
vers idea of immunizing food ships.
Having championed the cause of
submarines, she hardly could do
anything else.
The value of submarines consists
in their effectiveness against mer-
chant shipping, as the late war
demonstrated.
France realizes this perfectly,
though she persists in classifying
them as purely 2fensive."
Her notion of defense is apparent

en- and children, but starvation for

XXTITHIN the last few years ad-
w vertisements in the newSpa-
pers and articles in the magazines
have emphasized that the use OF
ultraviolet rays or so-called arti-
fetal sunlight was of Importance in
raising resistance Of the body to
disease and particularly in increas-
ing the ability of the child to COM
bat a cold.
There seems to be rather good
evidence in support of these views
the evidence being based particu-
larly on experience in various in
situations. On the other hand, there
was also some evidence that regu-
lar exposure to ultraviolet rays
did not greatly increase resistance

The White Problem

two races are involved and there

It is quite obvious, of course. that
the Negro is handicapped and SUI

it is fair to add that his troubles
are by no means confined to the
south.
The north is no Utopia for him
either. But I feel convinced that

Two Sides to Question

CHORT skirts, with the other al
- terations in dress they made
necessary, have had tremendous
effect on the textile and garment
trade. Not only has there been a
big shrinkage in the amount of cloth
needed, but its texture has changed.
In many instances, mills have had
to replace their equipment.
Hose manufacturers, on the other
hand, have enjoyed an Unexpectedly
improved market.
incidentally, tuberculosis has in
creased among young girls, which
suggests that whatever it may have
contributed to the emancipation of
womanhood, the short, thin dress
has not proved 100 per cent sound
in the matter of health.

SCIENCE
DAVID DIETZ -
All Organisms, Both Plants
and Animals, Are COM
posed of the Microscopic
Units Called Cells.
BY DAVID DIETZ

THE eventual discovery of bio
IL chemical atoms"-that is,
atoms of life-is predicted by Pro-
fessor Edgar J. Witzemann of the
University of Wisconsin.
He points out that the astrono-
mer finds the solar system organ
lied into a system Of planets re-
volvinig around the sun. The
physicist finds the atoms of matter
organized on similar scheme, with
each atom possessing a central nu-
cleus around which electrons revolve
just as the planets revolve around
the sun.
These electrons are fundamental
particles of electricity. We find a
series of graduaticns in the uni
verse, therefore. At the start, we
have the electrons which have been
called the "atoms of electricity"
These, in their turn, compose the
atoms of matter.
The atoms of matter compose
what might be called the atoms of
the universe" the stars, the sun and
the planets.
We have, therefore, an ascending
scale of organization from the cleo
iron to the mighty star.
Living creatures are no exception
to the rule of organization. The
fundamental unit of the living or
ganiSm is the cell.
All organisms, both plants and
animals, are composed OF the mi
croscopic units called cells. At the
bottom of the scale are the one
celled plants and the one-celled
animals like the amoeba. Higher
types of plants and animals are
.nulticellular.

Why TaIk7

r NEVER have encountered whole
Il people or race which seemed to
me to deserve the label, Superior, 3"
but I have met individuals who
were, in my eyes, members OF the
first fight through some potential
ity Or achievement.
But these people never both
cred whether they were superior or
not. They were too busy at work or
play. After all, superiority of an
important sort never has been won
by passing resolutions about it.
Most of us feel that Mrs. Gam
is rather a silly woman to make so
much bother over the question of
where she is to sit at table. And
I hate to see a whole community
go Dolly Gam and concern itself
so completely with questions of
precedence and dominance.
should think that the very first
step in the march toward any sort
of supremacy would be to quit talk
ing about it.

usually Is one who has managed to
save his breath for the performance.

Other Troubles for us

MI EANWH1LE, Cnere are other
LIVE problems than that of naval
limitation to be considered, and
some people think that President
Hoover and Premier Macdonald
well might give them attention.
Here in America, there is the
stock market, farm relief, the south
ern textile situation, the lobby, the
tariff, and the problem of Oil con-
servation, only to mention few.
In England, there are more than
million men out of work, a
threatened coal strike, and wide
spread distrust of the dole system.
It goes without saying that the
solution Of many of these problems
depends on unofficial, rather than
official, action. Still, wideawake in
terest on the part of the govern
ment might help.

Mrs. Ruth Dadourian, wife Of a

There is not only too much COM
