RUSSIAN MILITARY REPORT

Aug. 8
ON Aug. 8, 1917, the causes of
~ the military collapse in Rus
STA we're set forth in a report by
Colonel Kolotkoff to the council of
workmen's and soldiers delegates.
He placed the responsibility on
the former policemen, gendarrneS
and spies of Emperor Nicholas at
the front.
The army on the west front, ac-
cording to Kolotkoff, was in excel
lent fighting trim technically, and
was beyond criticism as regards
supplies.
There was a plan to advance
which might have led to the cap
ture of Wilma. but spies of the au-
tocracy started a counter-revolu-
tionary campaign against the pro-
visionaI government, the aim Of
which was to break up the army.
Large numbers Of spies managed
to get elected to company commit
tees and started propaganda
against war. melting soldiers against
officers and the provisional govern
ment'S commissaries.
Germany took advantage of these
conditions and flooded Russian
trenches with spies in Russian uni
forms.
Many of these Germans spoke
Russian so well that they sat at
the officers mess without arousing
suspicion.
The result Of all this was that
as the attempt was started to re-
cover Wilma, many soldiers, COM
pletely Germanized in sentiment,
refused to participate In the at
tack.

t1cularly the paragraph concerning
the federal building program.
The American Institute of Archi~
tects and the Associated Building
Contractors of America vigorously
have protested to President Hoover
against the method being used by
the treasury department in produc-
ing this $453, 100000 federal building
program.
It seems that Perry Heath is the
one man in the United States most
responsible for not pushing more
vigorously this federal building pro-
gram. He has at present more than
1000 architectural craftsmen in the
architectural department, and al
though the last session of congress
passed a law enabling him to select
outside architects to do this work,
yet his policy has been in the past
to keep as much of this work in his
own department as possible.
Naturally this builds up his de-
spartment. 1t seems in a bureau
cratic form of government that the
larger the directors of these de-
partments can make them, the more
important they become.
The architects feel that if these
projects were distributed more gen.
erously throughout the country to
the architects and if the federal
government would quit competing
with the architects, that a more
satisfactory result would be OBJ
tanned in this program. Consider
able good could be gained by your
newspaper investigating this con-
dition in Washington and giving it
wide publicity.

ern times means from 5000 to $500
calories, because it is understood
that person requiring such a diet
takes only moderate exercise.
1t must be remembered at the
same time that calories are only
one aspect of the diet. The diet
must include a reasonable protein
and fat content, as we'll as vitamins
and mineral salts.
Therefore, fats and sugars must
be depended on primarily for the
increased carbohydrates. Foods pro-
viding these carbohydrates are
drinks like chocolate, egg and milk
shake; orangeade containing the
whites of eggs; hot chocolate, rich
vegetable soups, breakfast foods
with high content Of meal, cream
soups and whipped cream dressings
on rich salads.
Sometimes patients who have
been unable to eat more than 1000
calories a day on account of lack
Of appetite can learn to take 5000
to 1000 by the encouragement that
comes from well-selected foods
properly prepared.

Gene Controls Fate

A CCORDING to DR.. Slye, a single
a gene in one of the chrome
somes Of the germ-cell from which
an individual develops. determines
whether or not he is susceptible to
cancer.
1t is important to note that she
does not say that this determines
whether a person will have cancer,
but only whether he has a predis-
position toward it.
In other words, certain individ-
uals, by heredity are immune to
cancer. Others may, or may not
develop it, depending upon circum-
stances, but they have a weakness
in that direction.
As modern biology has shown, all
animals, with the exception of the
one-celled forms, begins life as the
union Of two germ-cells, an egg
cell and sperm-cell.
In the nuclei of these cells are
tiny rod-like structures called chro-
mosques. These are complex or
CARNATIONS of protein material.
They have been called the car
riers of heredity,"' because it has
been established by many expert
mentS that the characteristics of
the individual are controlled by the
particular set of chromosomes
which go into his makeup.
Many experiments, notably those
with the fruit-hy, have shown that
characteristics are located
at definite points on the chromo-
somes. This has been established in
particular by experiments in which
X-rayS were used to destroy parts
Of chromosomes.
The individual points along the
where the factors for
various traits are located, are
known as the genes. Thus, one
gene controls the color of the eve,
another the color of the hair, and
so on.
From her experiments, DR.. Slye
believes that single gene decides
whether or not the person is sus-
ceptible to cancer.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-08-08
Odds Are Favorable

nR. SLYES findings are in
IL many ways optimistic. For they
show that the odds are against in
heriting a susceptibility to cancer.
She divides the mice into three
classes namely, those which are
immune to cancer, those in whom
the tendency to cancer is a recess
sive characteristic, that is, those
who themselves are immune, but are
likely to transmit the gene of sus-
ceptibility to their offspring. and.
finally, those in whom susceptibility
is dominant characteristic, that is.
those who are themselves Suscep-
tible.
There are six types Of mating.
depending upon to which class each
OF the two mice who mate belong.
Three of the six combinations.
DR.. Slye has found, result in 100 per
cent cancer-free offspring. Another
combination results in only 25 per
cent cancer-susceptible offspring. It
is only the sixth type of union, in
which both the mating mice are
cancerous, that the offspring is 100
per cent cancer-susceptible.
In her latest report, DR.. Slye
traces the history of strain of
mice the original ancestors of which
consisted Of a cancer-free mouse
and a cancer-Susceptible mouse.
There were nine offspring, none of
which developed cancer.
Susceptibility, however, was re-
cessive in these nine,. as was proved
by the fact that some of their off,
spring did develop cancer.
However, there were three times
as many nonsusceptible as suscepti-
BILE individuals in this third genera
ton.

Peace En1ergenCieS

A S a matter Of fact, progress
"A calls for temporary adjust
ment all the time, some of which
turns out to be permanent.
The depression we are now in
merely calls for more than usual.
It is unfortunate that more peo-
pie can't see it that way, especially
people in authority.
We are up against an emergency,
and it calls for emergency meas
ureS.
The idea that we must either
change everything. or do nothing,
is all wrong.
We are not on the horns of any
such dilemma. We have demon
strated the power and adaptability
Of this government in war. Does
any one suppose it won't work
equally well in meeting the emer-
gencies of peace?

LueSSe should be released? his

CHARLES H. KRAUSE SR.
Editor Times-I am tired of being
irnportuned over the radio and the
press and the mails to patronize the
independent store. While I have
not a thing against the independent
merchant and am for him morally,
the fact remains that he conducts
his business on an expensive basis
and SO if I trade with him am
forced to pay for delivery charges
and credit, even though we do not
desire either of these services.
About 10 per cent is added for
these and it is unfair to those who
pay cash and carry.
If the independent merchant
wants to keep the cash-carry Gus
toners who are watching for bar
gains, it would be well for him to
make some sort of arrangement 81
that they will not have to be bur-
dened with the expense Of services
rendered "tile other fellow"

Editor Times-It was an arresting-
a startling headline, stalking across
the page of The Indianapolis News
Of Aug. 1, 1881. Thus it ran: "GrasS-
hopper Relief Ordered by. Hoover"
Not only did it arrest and startle
me, but it completely overpowered
and took me into custody. Its ef-
fects were irresistible.
After the moratorium to Germany
the relief to millions of unen-
ployed, the rehabilitation of the
farmer, the abolition of poverty and
the humiliation of poorhouses,
was, of course, anxious to know
what the President was about to do
for the relief of needy and deserv-
ing grasshoppers. With a fast beat
ing heart, I read on.
From the body of the article I
learned that the President, just be-
fore leaving for his Rapidan camp,
had left an order with the agricul-
tural department to cooperate with
the state governments in the great
work of "Grasshopper Relief"
The story of Lincoln with his own
hand restoring to its parents the
baby bird fallen from the nest thus
is rivaled The tales OF. the good
housewife, going from home on her
vacation, leaving as her last words,
orders to the servant to water the
canary, or to the neighbors to be
sure and feed the cat, touching as
some of them may be, are rendered
stale and commonplace-yes, trite
as mother-in-law jokes-by this dis
closure of Presidential solicitude for
the humble and neglected grass
hopper.
If grasshoppers could vote, Kansas
and Missouri would, of course, be
irretrievably lost-yes, beyond hope
of the mosJ sanguine Democrat ex-
pectations.
Ingenious vote-getters and ma
nipulators some years ago, we
learned through the newspapers,
voted dogs and cats in PennSyl-
vania. Perhaps this grasshopper
incident may be turned to similar
account. Perhaps ways and means
of persuading grasshoppers to vote
the Republican ticket will be impro-
vised and thus a big majority be
rolled up for Hoover.
Or is "grasshopper relief" part of
the program now under way to
'-humanize" Hoover?

Odds Are Against itheriting
Susceptibility to Cancer,
Long Research of Pdtholo-
gist Shoes.
XXTHETHER a person is suscepti-
W BILE to cancer is determined
before he Is born. This is the find-
ing Of DR.. Maud Slye, associate pro-
lessor of pathology at the University
Of Chicago. who has spent the last
twenty-three years working upon
upon one problem. namely. the in
heritability Of cancer.
Medical men frequently expert
ment with mice because in many
respects the physiology Of the mouse
is very much like that Of man.
1t also happens that the mouse
is susceptible to many diseases which
also attack man, for example, pneu-
monia and nephritiS.
Mice are also attacked by form
Of cancer very similar to a form
which occurs in man. It was this
fact that led DR.. Slye, twenty-three
years ago, to begin her experiments
with mice.
During this time. DR.. Slye has
grown more than 100000 mice, all
the descendants of a few dozen orig
inal ancestors. She has kept ade-
quate and careful life histories Of all
OF these 100000 mice, and in order
to be certain Of the cause Of death,
she has performed autopsies upon
$4,000 of them.
This elaborate and painstaking
research by DR.. Slye, extending over
more than two decades, is a splen-
did example of the way in which
modern medical science conducts
itself.
DR.. Slye typif1es the modern re-
search worker, willing to devote the
best years of her life to study of a
single problem.

Watch Oil Rise

NASOLINE should come down in
NJ this country, or oil should go
up. Most people, though on the
buying end, are fair enough to be-
lieve that oil should go up. This
is because they haven't received
much benefit from its going down.
Small producers, like small farm
ers, have been hard hit. Big specu-
lators have made money out of it,
and the public pays.
You'll see wheat go up. after it's
out Of the farmers hands, and
you'll see oil rise when some of
the big boys have filled their tanks.
1t all goes back to organization.
The small fry is not organized.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Tines-I have been read
ing in your paper about that Tooley
boy, who stole So worth of old tools
and, because he did not run as soon
as the judge gave the order, was
given an eigtt-year sentence in the
boys school. just a poor boy who
wore rags and never had a chance
to enjoy few of the nice things in
life, and no mother to help teach
him right.
Now, on the other side, view our
Governors son, a boy with his own
mother and father and home, with
all the comforts money can buy.
The cost of one ash tray in the
Governors home was more than
was spent on the Tooley boy in a
year for clothes or pleasure.
Now the Governors son was with
some boys who killed a poor work.
ing man and the shot that killed
that man was stolen, or the boys
said it was. And since our Governor
is such a strong believer in uphold
ing the law and will not show any
mercy to a poor motherless boy,
why not send his son and those
other boys that shot and killed that
man before this iron-jawed judge,
and see if the judge is man enough
to treat rich and poor alike.
If was Mr.. Harry Leslie, would
try to be more kind. to some Of these
little boys and girls. He may not be

time his sons friends take their

not get off so lucky.

Editor TilneS-The recent alleged
attack made on an Indianapolis
citizen, Ralph Surber, by one Of our
employees and servants, a policeman,
is exemplary of the attitude Of
many other men, in every branch of
our government, whom we hire to
execute our will, not theirs, except
inasmuch as their vote counts to-
ward electing the legislators, who
are supposed to include in our stat
utes all and nothing more than
that which we dictate.
This tyrannical attitude of which
I speak is entirely uniting and out
of place in the minds of the men
whom we hire. The government
which we Americans have chosen
was intended to be republican. not
oligarchical.
To an uniformed person, how
ever. I presume our government
would be mistaken for an oligarchy
so strikingly does it resemble that
form.

Sugar is the chief fuel food. 1t

If sugars or sweetened substances
are taken previous to a meal, they
tend to take away the appetite.
Therefore, it is undesirable to eat
candy or pastries between meals,
whereas taken as dessert, they have
the particular value of making a

see the wisdom of trying to make
temporary adjustments.
That is what big business does.
