Lack of Vitamins Affects Reproduction

egg cell or prevent fertilization Of
that cell by the male cell On implan-
tation Of that cell in the uterus, but
deficiency Of vitamin E results in
destruction Of the implanted cell,
which is . specific type Of interfer.
ence with reproduction.
Vitamin E IS found in many tissues
Of the body, such as the muscles, tho
fat, the pancreas, the spleen, the liver
and the heart. It is less abundant in
liver than in muscle. It IS found in
the seeds and green leaves Of plants
and in shellfish.
Deficiencies Of vitamin e in the
female result In interference with her
function Of reproduction, whereas de-
ficiency In the male seems to result
in actual degenerative changes In tho
sex organ.
It has been thought possible that
vitamin z Is concerned with other
functions Of the body, perhaps par
ticularly with certain blood building
characteristics, but upon these sub
jects much investigation Is going for
ward. It must be realized that tho
first announcement Of the possibility
Of this vitamin came in 1928, and THAI
much remains to be learned beyond
what has been learned in theso few
years.

Great Service Well Done

miles, according to an estimate.
Through snow and sleet and. rain,
or under burning July suns, Henry
Serenson and Charles M. Nelson. both
63 years old, have been faithful to
their service. They had trust To
perform. Peoples secrets, their hopes
and joys and sorrows, were enclosed
In the envelopes that these two men
carried. and they were true to their

The two mail carriers merely did

echoes ct the moment to cries o.
stop that crime wave!"
The metropolis appears to shudder
at the possibility that it will be con-
sidered as gang ridden as was Chi
cago. With due respect to the vari-
Gus phases Of graft and racketeering
In Manhattan, the crime situation al
present Is not likely to be linked to
organized gangs or mobs. The luric
melodramatics Of stickup gents who
shot 1t out for miles, with police and
innocent bystanders as victims, be.
long to the same school that spawned
young Crowley, the lad for whom the
electric chair now waits.
These are the nickel dance, curb
stone loafers and petty criminals
And because such types are scattered
through every district, the police can
not catalog them as belonging to
such -and-such mob. The Chicago
cummings were usually easy to label
for the victims in most cases were
easily identified with definite rack
cts. They fought things out among
themselves, as rule.
Such sporadic neighborhood GRIM
inal groups are an old story In Man
haitian. Years agone, when the Bow
cry was the Bowery, and when Hell's
Kitchen earned its name, when the
East Side was scattered with tough
groups, there was q sort Of pride In
gang fellowship.
The Bowery gents were out-and -out
toughs. ready for q good old-fash-
ioned brawl and zestful to swing
clubs, fists or bricks in the direction
Of cops or lads Of other gangs. There
were criminal mobs and mobs that were
merely rough tough and drunk
en-, The criminal groups were assigned
territories In which they had first
rights on the privilege of picking
pockets, sticking up and otherwise
robbing the citizenry. Instead of COL
lecting bootleg tribute, they "shook
down" the st,lss games or produced
"repeaters" at election time. Many

The Pacific ocean, greatest body
Of water the world knows, apparent
ly hides beneath its placid waters the
fate OF Don Moyle and G. A. Allen
two men whose bravery outrode their
Judgment.
They may be found, Of course, but
men most familiar with the area
where they may be located, II alive,
say the chances are negligible.
q But human nature is a peculiar
thing. particularly as we find it In
the adventurous heart The failure
of Moyle and Allen will only spur
others on. The test of courage, nerve
and machine will prove too alluring
for some men to forego and so we
shall see other attempts to cross the
Pacific.
Presumably. the hazard Of flying
the Pacific Is no greater now than
that Of spanning the Atlantic was 10
years ago. Improvements in the sta
bility and design Of airplanes and
engines should be great enough to
compensate for the increased dis
tance. improvements have been
made in the construction and use of
avigation instruments and other
ids to successful long distance flight.
= But, at best, the job Of crossing
any ocean will remain q hazardous
one for long time to come, even
though the Atlantic has been crossed
some dozen times this year.
The Pacific presents the last great
challenge. Moyle and Allen were the
first to take up the gauntlet. Many
other brave souls will meet the same
fate before the prize OF a nonstop
crossing IS achieved, but eventually
the trick will be turned. That is the
history Of mans advance, even
Though those who do try and fail
beem more than q little foolhardy.

Where Courage Counts

In tho grand scale Of human events
4t u unlikely that the literary works
ok the late Sir Hall Caine, British
novelist, will be immortal, but his
lie was cleaning example of con-
tidence and courage.
His difficulties were the difficult
ties Of the average man Of the great
masses Of the world. Similar diff
culties are discouraging people II

had the confidence in himself and
the courage to surmount them.
He was left an orphan at q very

erty with relatives. When he died, at
the age Of 7s, he was said to be one
of the wealthiest novelists In the world
His home was castle.
But these achievements alone are
not extraordinary. Many men have
gone from rags to riches.
The important point is that his
early literary works were ridiculed
and laughed ct. He was openly de-
rided. It took great soul to tran
scend that. But his confidence did
not finch. Nor his courage. He
knew what he wanted to do and con-
tinued In this faith until he achieved
it. But the going was hard.
He studied architecture. He tried
journalism. Then he became secre-
tary to Dante Gabrielle Rossetti. the
great poet-painter. This association

His novels were adapted for the

the peculiar construction of his nov

This continued throughout the rest
Of his life. Today there are few per-

The Chinese Call to Canada
winnipeg Evening Tribune)

BY agreeing to accept half Of 1t In
flour, by agreeing to employ United
States vessels in transporting 1t, and
by agreeing to pay . portion Of the
cost each year for three years, the
government Of China has secured 49,
100000 bushels Of wheat from the
United States farm board at market
prices on credit.
The Chinese people are in distress.
The United States government has
driven bargain.
That Is business.
This situation In China calls to
Canada for something more than a
business outlook. It is q call to hui
manity.
What has happened in China, and
what threatens, is perhaps the great
est cataclysm the world has ever
known. Fifty millions Of Chinese,
according to the president Of China,
are on the verge Of starvation. Hun.
dreds Of thousands have already died
from hunger and exposure. Millions
are homeless now, and millions more
will be.
The Tribune,s suggestion is that
the government Of Canada, on behalf
Of the whole people, send five million
bushels Of wheat or It's equivalent in
flour to the people Of China to aid
them in their sore distress. II nec-
essary, Canada can contribute also
the transport and engineering serv-
ices necessary to see that this food
the cheapest and best food in the
world-reaches those who are In dire
need of 1t.
This is not business. It Is simply
answering the call Of humanity.
In no other way can Canada con-
tribute so speedily and effectively to
the relief Of the millions who face
starvation.
Private agencies undoubtedly will
do their part later. A prompt and
effective gesture by the government
itself, representing the nation, Is first
necessary.
Canada has troubles Of her own,
but the picture of $4,000 900 men, wo-
men and children actually enduring
starvation cannot be blotted from our
minds by consideration Of our own
difficulties.
