A THOUGH number Of years
L n have passed since the impor-
lance of vitamin A in the diet first
was noted, the precise activities of
this vitamin in relation to life are
not understood fully.
Indeed, its source is not absolutely
known. Notwithstanding this doubt
and vagueness, all authorities are
agreed that vitanin A is of the
greatest Importance for life and
health and recommend a regular
consumption of this vitamin by all
human beings, and particularly for
the growing child.
When vitamin A first was studied,
most of the attention was given to
complete absence of this vitamin
from the diet of experimental ami
mails. The complete removal of this
vitamin brings about an infamma-
ton of the eyes called xerophthal-
mia.
This disturbance does not disturb
the. average human being, but a
great deficiency Of vitamin A in the
diets of people in some parts OF the

Must Learn Human Taste

THEY are setting up research
4 bodies in Washington to study
the problem Of business cycles, the
idea being that we can soften, if
not prevent, such cycles by learn
ing to watch and interpret trends,
by adjusting our production agencies
to fit the varying currents Of con-
sumption beforehand.
They won't get far until they can
do better job at explaining the
still more variable currents of hu-
man taste, appetite and caprice,
whether as manifest in mob psy-
chology or individual leadership.
It was the present depression, of
course, that inspired them to tackle
such a task, but some of the causes
of that depression antedate the Wall
Street crash by several years, and
some of the psychology back of it
had nothing whatever to do with
busted stock market.

Asteroid Eros Soon Wa Be

THE arrival of cosmic ship bear

being awaited by the astronomers
The ship is the asteroid Eros

with the exception of the moon, an
occasional comet and the shooting
stars" or meteors. on that day,
Eros will be 100000 miles away.
Just as in the days before the
telegraph and cable, inhabitants OF
a seaport eagerly watched for the
arrival of ship to bring the news
of distant places, so astronomers are
on the lookout for Eros.
The asteroids, Of which Eros Is
one, are tiny planet-like objects
which revolve around the sun in an
orbit beyond Mars But Eros has
so eccentric an orbit that it swings
closer to the earth at times than
does Mars, cutting across the orbit
of Mars
"As the earth swings past, close
to this tiny neighbor, astronomers
will hail it. seeking news from plan
etary space writes DR.. Seth B.
Nicholson in a bulletin of the As
Economical Society Of the Pacific.

Are acorns used for food?

They are not eaten much by hui
man beings in the United States.
Indians in the Pacific coast region
from northern California to Mexico
make a meal out of dried and
pounded acorns which they eat in
the form of mush and bread. The
meal is usually bleached to free it
from tannin and whatever bitter
principle is present. In some regions
in Italy. acorn meal made into a
sort of bread with the addition Of
two-thirds ground grain is a com
mon article of diet. The bread is

LONDON ART TREASURES
 FADING, EXPERT ASSERTS

LONDON, March 7.-Controyersy has been aroused in London art circles by certain West End art dealers who assert that the $2O,- 000,0000 worth of Turner water col ors in the Tate gallery are being allowed to fade past all recogni- ton.
 The gallery. which has 10000 Turner paintings, water-colors, and drawings. denies that the water colors are fading, while experts declare that the gallery is blinded by it's wealth of Turner's into not realizing that one day it may have none.
 Sir John Lavery has pointed out that light in any intensity is fatal to water -colors.
 These Turner's are bound to fade" he said. I have always re- garded water-color as an irritating medium because you cannot guar antee that it will last. Light is fa- tai to it."

MIR. AND MRS. FEUSI
 CELEBRATE ANNIvEA. SARY

Commemorating their thirtieth wedding anniversary, MT and Mrs. John Feusi entertained a few close friends at dinner last evening
 Among those present were MT. and Mrs. John Beck, of Juneau. MT Reck was the best man at that wedding ceremony in Juneau 30 years ago and it was Mrs. Beck who prepared the wedding break fast for MT. and Mrs. Feusi. Ed. Andrews, who was also among the guests present, was indirectly con- nected with that event of long ago in that it was his sister who made Mrs. Feusis wedding dress. An other interesting feature of the af- fair was the using of the same set of dishes which were bought for the newly -weds thirty years ago, It is noted that during their long use. but two small pieces of the en- tire set were broken, although the dishes have been in occasional use.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-When an eligible Senator shows leaning toward matrimony it is soon a subject for lively discussion in Washington. Announcement of his engagement causes stir.
 Take, for example, the marriage of Senator Dill of Washington to General Rosalie Jones, leader in the women's suffrage movement. This event of three years ago was something of a sensation. It was proclaimed there would be no obey" for the bride of Senator Dill in the marriage ceremony.
 Much was made of the fact that she gave herself away" When the bride announced that she would keep her maiden name, the fact was bounced on widely as a sub ject of conversation.
 Now comes the announcement of the engagement of Senator David Baird, Jr., successor to Walter Edge of New Jersey, American Ambassador to France. And al- though Senator Baird is new to Washington and to public life, his approaching marriage has caused much interest.

Editorial Comment
Ethics

Judge: All joking aside, We think doctors are pretty
swell guys. They do more good than harm, which is
something you can't say with confidence about such 9TH
er professionals as lawyers. preachers. senators and edi-
torial writer's. They constantly strive, by prevention, to
put themselves out Of business. They share with fire
men and telephone troubleshooters that amazing will
ingness to roll out Of bed in the middle Of the night and
get on the job. Good manners are q part of their rou-
tine. They change their minds and methods with grace
full alacrity. They temper their fees to the shorn purse
and soak the rich. As golf partners they are useful be-
cause you can usually get them In the afternoon. They
do not have the annoying habit Of ~practictng what they
preach.
One thing and only one we hold against them. Medi-
cal ethics, SO called, are q nuisance and q menace. In
SO far as the code Is directed against ~quackery, fee-split-
ting and disregard Of the Hippocratic Oath, it is all to
the good. But as applied by various medical associations.
the code creates q combination in restraint Of health.
It prevents one doctor from telling q patient the truth
about the bungling Of another. It tends to rule out new
discoveries II made by men who do not play the game.
And it is all too often invoked against doctors who seek,
through writing or ~lecturing, to help along the popular
ization Of medical knowledge. The dangerous talk about
a medical trust" will not be sienced until there Is q
drastic overhaulng Of medical ethics.

d Is the
Anniversary of
SCHUBERTsS BIRTH


On January 81, 1877, Franz Schu-
bert, the famous composer Of music,
was born in q small suburb Of Vienna.
He received his musical instruction
early, and, with the fundamentals Of
the violin mastered at the age Of
eight. he studied thereafter by HIM
self. From that time on he devoted
almost all his time to composing. II
write all day." no told Z friend, "and
when I have finished one piece I be-
gin another"
The extent u his talents may be
better appreciated when It 10 realized
that he produced some Of his most
important compositions before he was
20 years old.
Reduced to poverty because pub
fishers refused to accept his works on
the score they were too difficult and
the composer unknown, Schubert was
sustained by loyal friends.
Had it not been for q famous bari
tone and noted pianist Of his time
who performed his works. Schubert
might have died without the slightest
knowledge Of their success.
Schubert died when only a. from
typhoid fever. and was buried near
Beethoven's grave.
