NOME DREDGEs HAVE .
 B|C THAW|NC SYSTEM

Few people can realize the extent of the cold water thawing sysytem as carried on success fully year after year within three miles of Nome by the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields, the largest gold mining operators in the Second Division and pro- bably the largest thawing system in the world, says the Nome Nugget,
 The company operates three mammoth electric gold dredges with power supplied from a central deisel plant located just on the outskirts of Nome. Due to the general frozen condition of the ground it is necessary to thaw large areas from 25 to 50 feet deep, and in order to do this and mine the ground successfully three ditches are maintained totalling 11O miles and carrying 5000 miners in ches of water, the most of which is used for thawing purposes.
 ID give an idea of the exten- siveness of the thawing system, it has been learned from Man ager J. D. Harlan, that there are 45 miles of cold water thawing pipes in the ground to a depth of from 25 to so feet and there is IT miles of hose connecting the points to the water head CTS. The system is maintained under a certain pressure

CAUSE OF 'JAKEY
 PARALYSIS FOUND
Ginger Substitute Used in Cheap
 Grade Held to Blame

Washington. Dec. 31.-The cause Of ginger paralysis has been deter mined. This paralysis, which has afflicted thousands of victims, is not caused by ginger at all, but by a compound known to chemists as tri ortho cresyl phosphate, This chemi- cal is the main constituent Of tech- nlcal tricresyl phosphate, which is widely used in trade circles, espe- cially in the manufacture of var nishes, shellacs, and similar prepara tions. Being cheap and readily ob- tained in any quantities, it appears to have been used by irresponsible makers of so- called ginger extract to replace tho ginger. There seems 10 be no question that the adulterated paralytiC ginger extract contained tri-ortho cresyl phosphate in an ap- rroximatc concentration of about two per cent.
 The United States Public Health service has been working on the public health aspects ot Jake paralysis" since the wide appearance Of this condition in certain sections of the country last winter and spring In attacking the problem, it soon became evid cnt to investigators that they were dealing with a new form of paralysis and one in which many possibilities were involved.

ARRESTS IN 1880
 SHOW SHARP DROP
5,500 for Past 12 Month Against
 S,871 During Previous Year

16 per cent reduction in the during the current year as con- pared with the year 1929 and q cor responding decrease Of approximate ly r per cent in the total number of arrests over the total of the previous year stand out in perusal of the police records of the two years.
 For 1929 the records carry total number of arrests Of 3,671 as against 3,30S for the year ending today This is an actual decrease of 56& or an average decrease Of slightly more than 10 arrests for each week of the year.
 During 1929, SIS persons were arrested on charges Of drunkenness while only Al were taken into GUS tody on this charge during 1930. This decrease of Y is an average of slightly more than one arrest d week less on this particular charge.
 January proved to be the big month of the present year with q total of 401 arrests. August was the dullest period when only 16I per sons fell into the hands of the police.
 During the year previous, Novem- Der was the banner month boasting the unusually large record of 524 arrests while in March of that year

Flashes of Life

By the Associated Press.
 New York - Babe Ruth guesses hell have to worry along in golf by seeking the new balloon ball only 250 or 260 yards. He hopes to offset the loss of distance by better put ting.
 Iowa City - Wonderful tip to the duffer: Just think of q good drive. Said Dr. Herbert s. Langfield of Princeton to the American Psycho- logical Association: "The secret in golf, as in typewriting, learning to read, or in doing anything, comes from being clearly conscious of the thing to be done and not the way to do it.'
 Washington Wonder how many foreign golf balls will come to the country in 1881 when larger and lighter variety is required in the United States and a smaller peppier one is legal in Britain. During the first II months of 1880 imported balls totalled 1,S24,007.
 Tonbridge, Kent, England - Workers here who make about all the cricket balls there are have gone on strike.

As the investigations proceeded. it
 phenol was the Causative agent.
 Soon attention was centered on
 technical tricresyl phosphate. Chem
 ists of the prohibition bureau had found similar substances in sus-
 pected extracts As a number of
 different chemicals enter into the
 manufacture of this commercial
 product, it became necessary to sep
 arate them and find out what effect each might have ii used in bever-
 age. This has been done and it has
 been found that tri-ortho cresyl
 phosphate, either itself or in con-
 bination with other chemicals of
 harmless nature, when given to
 various kinds of animals will pro
 duce exactly the same kind of par
 alysis as that caused by drinking of I>"Jake." The Public Health service
 has no record of single case of
 paralysis caused by ginger prepara-
 tions manufactured by reputable
 pharmaceutical concerns. Fri ortho
 cresyl phosphate is, therefore, defi-
 nitely established as the specific
 cause of the cases of so-called gin
 ger paralysis
 Studies conducted on laboratory animals show conClusively that a paralysis of the eXtremities can be produced uniformly in monkeys and 4 h lS. 1,-f b6 md the skin or by oral administration of
 the chemically pure as well as the technical tri-ortho cresyl phosphate. The failure to produce any symp- toms, whatever, in monkeys with enormous doses Of this poison given tlcally not absorbed from the in testinal canal in that species.
 The precise reason for including this remarkable substance as one of the ingredients of a substandard fluid extract of ginger made and sold for beverage purposes will probably never be known. unless a ! confession is vrung from the guilty ones. It seems entirely reasonable, | however, to suppose that it was in l Cluded on account Of its physical or other properties which make it diff | fcult to distinguish from the normal ginger constituents. Only q chemist Of considerable ability could have | thought of this; and had there been anything known about the pharma- ! Co1OgiC action Of this substance and the possible dire consequences, it is 1 probable that it would never have i happened. From this the question raturally arises as 10 whether there are not many other organic com | pounds of great medicinal interest, 1 perhaps some with great posslhlll- 1 ties for the treatment of disease
 awaiting the attenion of invcsti- | gators.
