WILSON'S PARIS TRIP


I'm March S, 1919, woodrow VII
~ son left New York for a second
trip to Paris TO help formulate the
peace treaty and the League of
Nations.
On his first trip to Paris on
Dec. 4, 1918, President Wilson sue
ceeded III persuading the peace
conference to accept the principle
OF the League Of Nations as a basis
of peace and in drafting a preln-
mary draft OF the covenant.
When he returned to the United
States, however, he was confrontcd
with Republican opposition TO the
league in the senate. III order TO
meet Republican suggestions, the
President sailed again for France
This time he was able TO secure
the insertion in the covenant OF
certain amendments required by
American sentiment, and on June
%, 1919, the treaty was signed
On his return to the United
states Wilson started tour from
coast to coast, making speeches for
the league and declaring that If
America rejected it she would
break the great heart OF the
world"
The President campaigned so
strenuously that he broke down on
Sept. IS and was compelled to re-
turn to Washington

CEVERAL hundreds Of years ago
~ the term spleen" was used to
indicate anger or malice. The poet
Pope spoke of spleen and sour dis
dain." Shakespeare used the term
to refer to any type of emotion. "A
thousand spIeens bear her a thou
sand ways" he wrote.
Until recently no one had any
real conception of the functions OF
the organ called the spleen. In 1925
two American investigators, Hargis
and Mann, made studies Of the eff
fects of a number of emotions on
the spleen.
When an animal is subjected to
certain emotions to which it re-
spends with muscular effort, the
spleen contracts. Whenever exercise
is taken the spleen contracts.
The special nature of the emotion
does not seem to make much differ
ence. Apparently when the animal Is
aroused, adrenalin is secreted by its
adrenal gland and the nerves con-

DROTOPLASM is the name which
Z biologists give to the substance
of which all living things are COM
posed. Huxley. the great English
biologist, called it the physical
basis Of life" because the pheno-
mena Of life are found associated
only with protoplasm.
1t is a startling thing to be told
that the tissues composing a human
body and those composing a head of
cabbage are the same. OF course
there are wide differences between
animal and plant tissues and even
between different kinds of animal
tissues or between different kinds of
plant tissues.
The point which the biologist
makes, however. is that these are
all differences Of degree. They are
not fundamental differences, but
merely variations Of a fundamental
substance.
The next startling fact which bio
logy has revealed is that protoplasln
is chiefly water. The amount of
water differs in different samples
Of protoplasm and even in the same
sample under varying conditions,
but it ranges from CT per cent to as
high as 95 per cent.
The other ingredients are carbo-
hydrates-Sugars and starches-fats,
proteins and slight traces of min
eral salts. The wide variety found
in plant and animal tissues depends
upon the variety and kinds of COR
bohydrates, fats and proteins pres
ent and the proportion of each pres
ent. Thus white of egg or lean
meat, for example, are almost en-
tirely proteins.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-03-05
Chemistry

TINE chemical nature Of carbohy-
4 drates-the sugars and starches
is well understood. Three chem
tcal elements, carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen, compose them.
The chemist can tell you just how
many atoms of each element are to
be found in the molecule of any
particular sugar or starch.
Fats have more complex struc-
lures A fat is a combination of a
fatty acid with glycerol. Both fatty
acids and glycerol are formed by the
reorganization and reconciliation Of
carbohydrates. Their natures are
no mystery to the chemist.
Proteins are the most complex of
all the substances present in proto-a
plaSm. Their nature is not yet COM
pletely understood.
One might jump to the conclusion
that the chemical nature of proto-
plasm would be solved once chem
lists completely understood proteins.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth.
For the cells. the tiny units or
building blocks into which proto-
plaSm is organized to form living
tissues, are not static mixtures of
the substances named.
Each cell is a chemical laboratory
in which chemical processes con-
stantly are going on. The amount
Of various substances present is con-
stantly undergoing change. SUBJ
stances are decomposed or broken
up within the cell. Other substances
are manufactured.
Our present understanding of the
chemical ingredients of protopIasm
is only the beginning of the prob

SCIENCE
The Tissues Composing the
Human Body and the lis
sues Composing q Head of
Cabbage Are the Same.
.BY DAVID DIETZ-

THE physical and chemical ma
i ture OF living things still re-
main one Of the greatest mysteries
faced by science. Despite the tire
nlhndous advances Of the last half
century, the known facts are only a
fraction of what remains to be dis
covered.
The development of biochemistry
within the last few decades-the APP
pucation Of chemical methods TO the
study Of living things-has thrown
much light upon the problem.
Biologists are hopeful that the
still newer science Of biophySicS --
the use Of the methods OF physics to
measure the forces, electrical and
otherwise, involved in life processes
may throw yet more light upon
the subject.
The present situation is we'll sum-
med up by a sentence Of Bertrand
Russells, Russell used it to describe
the present state of our knowledge
of physical phenomena. But it APP
plies equally we'll to our knowledge
Of the nature of living things.
THE final conclusion" said Rus
sell, is that We know very little,
and yet 1t is astonishing that we
known SO much, and still more as
tOnishing that so little knowledge
can give us so much power"
The first conclusion Of modern
biology-and a very startling one
is that all living things are CONF
posed of the same substance.

THE QUIET PLACE

THE QUIET PLACE
Read Matthew 4:1-1I.) Memory
Verse: Then was Jesus led up of
the spirit into the wilderness"
Matthew AL
MEDITATION
We begin today cur annual OBJ
servance Of the SIX weeks which
Jesus spent IN the wilderness. 1t
has been called the period of temp
tation. But it was more than that;
it was a period Of preparation--a
time OF concentrated thought and
calm meditation. Never were quiet
hours more needed than they are
today. Our minds have been hkened
to a railway waiting-room where
people bound hither and thither are
assembled. 1t is hard for our dis
tracted minds to attain unity Of
purpose and to select q destination.
We need daily quiet times that we
may reduce life to order and reflect
on whittier We are going.
PRAYER
Eternal God, who dost reveal
Thyself TO those who earnestly seek
Thee. let our hearts be still that we
may hear Thee speak and may
discern Thy wise and holy counsel
for our lives this day. Amen.

STEEL TONNAGE
GUT UPSETS
By W. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 QN.S.)
Wall Street was ready today for a
setback in the stock market, and
the failure Of the Steel Corpora
ton directors to grant an extra
dollar-dividend was generally re-
garded as sufficient excuse, or
reason. for the selling wave which
carried prices Of the favoriteS
down ! to 8 points.
More important than the divi-
dend was the further shrinkage
in steel production to SO per cent
Of mill capacity, as reported by
the Iron Age, and the prospect
that even this rate Of production
would not be maintained over the
next few weeks. Irregularity in
the commodity markets and un-
favorable earnings statements for
the third quarter haStened the
progress Of profit-taking in stocks
which have been squirting forward
rather brilliantly in the last week.

MATERIAL PRICE
BETTERMENT
GOOD SIGN
By LEWIS HANEY


Director New York University
Bureau OF Business Research
and Former Economist OF
Federal Trade Commission
We now have another Of the
monthly reports on business con-
ditions, issued by the National
Business Survey Conference. This
committee was formed last
December at President Hoover's
suggestion.
1t Is extremely difficult to get
o good general picture of busi-
ness from the report. But in
general, one can say that it
shows highly mixed condition,
with some bright spots. 1t sug-
gests that recent declines have
become more moderate, that q
number of important industries
have held up well, and that q
process Of stabilization is under
way.
AS in preceding reports, no ef-
fort is made to allow for the
merely seasonal variations. AS q
result, we do not know whether
the gains in September as COM
pared with August represent more
than the usual seasonal amounts
or not.
Improvement Shown
But a study of the report war
rants the conclusion that the fol
lowing points are clearly and
fundamentally favorable in their
bearing on the future.
The lending rates Of the banks
throughout the country declined
and are the lowest since 1925.
Shortterm credit is ample at rea-
sonable rates. We may infer that
business has all the credit 1t
needs and no initiation is needed.
Savings deposits continue to
increase. A year ago, when the
speculative craze was just coming
to an end, savings declined, but,
last month, they picked up. quite
sharply. This is good, because 1t
means more thrift and more
money to spend.
Most important of all, I think,
Is the point that a number OF
raw materials have shown in
creaseS in price. The committee
mentions raw sugar, coffee, wheat,
corn, cattle, cotton, and silk.
Many agree that the over-produc-
ton of raw materials and the re-
Sulting price slump have been q
chief cause Of depression. So
that evidence Of recovery In
such prices is most welcome.
Another favorable sign Is q
n1ore-than-seaSonal gain IN ma
chine-tool orders. Awards of
concrete bars have been large,
indicating q good volume Of
heavy construction. The volume
Of long distance telephone mes
sages is about equal to year
ago.
Few UnfavOrabIe Factors
On the other hand, such an
important index Of business as
railway car loadings makes as
unfavorable showing. In the four
weeks ended october II the re-
port puts them 10 per cent be-
low a year ago and shows the
decline to be getting larger.
The decline In non-ferrous
metal prices has continued and
copper is the lowest in many
years, A decreased demand for
paper is shown and larger stocks
Of newsprint and writing paper,
the volume of advertising and
post office receipts continue to
indicate a depressed condition.
It is noticeable that the report
does not discuss employment in
any general way. ~.
In my opinion the statements
about gasoline, automobiles, farm
implements and foreign trade
tend to be misleading on the
optimistic side.
These reports add little if any
thing to our information. Many
items are not presented in an
Illuminating manner. But per
haps they are worth while as
focusing attention on the true
state Of business.
