DIAPER manufacturers have found
L that casein makes a better
binder for the pigments used in
coating mixtures than does animal
glue. Papers covered with casein
coating take inks better and permit
clearer and sharper color printing.
CaSein glue is made by mixing
caSein with lime water. The result
is a glue which is as strong as ami
NAL CLUES and more resistant to
water.
At first, difficulty was experienced
from the fact that the glue set too
quickly. 1t was found, however.
that the addition of small amount
Of certain other substances, such as
sodium fluoride, retarded the
setting.
During the World war, it was
found that casein glue was the best
for cementing together ply wood for
airplane construction.
Casein paints, made with a
binder Of casein and lime water are
water resistant. They are also find
ing considerable use in the printing
OF wall papers and certain fabrics.
Various articles, such as buttons,
beads, combs and other articles.
now are made from casein plastics.
These can be made to resemble
ivory, coral, tortoise shell, and the
ike, and can be colored any desired
color.
Casein plastic is made by treating
casein with formaldehyde or some
other hardening agent. Pigments or
dyestuffs are added during the
manufacturing process.

THE papers told of a glorious day. probably the
l. greatest yet won for the welfare OF the human
race, but there drums flags no march
ing armies in the winning of it, do not react with
the enthusiasm which marks victorious battles between
nations.
Too long this world has given its cheers exclusive
ly to the results of conflicts between armed hosts too
long it has ignored the sleepless service of medical
science, out there on the firing line, fighting diseases
which for centuries have held mankind in bondage
and in terror.
THIS victory We refer to is the conquering OF the
L great white plague. Where once it was unchal-
lenged master of the palace and the hut it has
yielded its deadly and its armies of germs are
the prisoners of science.
We all remember when tuberculosis was world
wide scourge.

Give a Garden

While it is true that there is no shortage
( of food in this country, it is more true that
/ there is very great shortage of food in
many families in this city.
That some unnamed official with a
stinginess of mind seriously proposed to cut
down the value of trustee baskets given to
the distressed to value of SITS week,
suggests just how great that shortage may
be.
The shortage of food exists in homes
where is also a shortage of work. Enforced
idleness brings poverty and worse. The zest
with which every job Of so-called made
work" is sought indicates that very many
men are as hungry for something to do as
they are hungry for something to eat.
Raising gardens on vacant lots inside the
.ity will accomplish the double purpose of
furnishing something to do and something
to eat to those who need just exactly both
these things.
That is the reason The Times is asking
those who have lots to permit their use this
summer. The lots will be improved. The
city will be more slightly. The men who
raise the gardens will be happier. Their
families will be more comfortable.
/. Of course, the plan is the purest make
shift to fit an emergency. 1t is not the basis
of any return to prosperity. 1t may not
even relieve to any great extent the burden
now upon the taxpayer. That can only come
through an adjustment of our industrial sys-
tenn to the present age of machinery and
distribution of work and the results of work
among all workers. But for the summer it
may fill great need.
If you have vacant lot, send in your
name

4 spondent of Russias great
newspaper, Pravda, we now know
the plain, unvarnished truth about
Mr.. Hoover's farm relief program.
1t was not designed to help the
grain belt, as most of us had sup
posed, but to provide food for an
army with which France planned
to invade the Soviet.
Talk Of boosting prices by buying
up the surplus was just a smoke
screen. The real object was to &C
cunulate vast supplies Of corn,
wheat, cotton, and grape concen-
trates, though the latter are not
specifically mentioned, with which
to feed the soldiers of capitalism.
Mr.. Legge was glad to take this
craftsmanship, not only because Of
his capitalistic leanings, but be-
cause the International Harvester
Company, of which he had been
the head, lost $4O,O00,o0O in trade
through the advent Of Communism
in Russia.
The scheme would have rushed
to its bloody conclusion if the
great Ramsin trial, recently staged
in Moscow, had not exposed the
plot, forcing Mr.. Hoover to dismiss
Legge, and the farm board to an
nounce that it would purchase no
more grain.
And that's the kind of tripe with
which the people of Russia are be-
ing fed in the name of honesty,
science, and pure reason,

Wrong Ideas Current on AcidOsis

healthy, the person does not suffer
any disturbance.
However, whenever the amount of
acid produced is excessive, or when
ever the organs concerned with the
removal are diseased, the acid tends
to accumulate.
The body endeavors to avoid the
accumulation of acid by various
chemical changes, and the task
sometimes becomes more than the
body can perform.
There are some CASTRO intestinal
diseases in which acidosis develops
both because of increased produc-
ton and because the alkaline sub
stances are lost through the bowel.
This happens when there is great
loss of fluid from vomiting or diar-
rhea. The obvious treatment is to
replace the loss of fluid and to him
der the production of acid substance
by giving water, salts, and glucose.
If these can not be taken by
mouth, the physician administers
them by injection into the tissues
or into a vein.
Diabetes is the main condition
in which aoidosis results. In this

mill is very necessary. The only
pity is that the needy must carry
their grain so far for the grinding.
Reno is actuated, I am aware, by
mercenary motive. The divorce
business is profitable. Easy dissolu-
ton Of the marriage tie still is
largely reserved for the rich.
But if there is Fundamental
flaw it dies not with Nevada, but
with the hypocrisy of other COM
nunities.
A very large proportion of people
in the United States agree that
marriage may reach a point where
both the good of the individual and
the good Of the state are served by
severance Of the ties.

I contend that this is less, or
more, than strictly scientific. 1t may
be good patriotism and excellent
Nordic philosophy, but the attitude
has nothing on earth to do with the
medical point Of view.
The doctor, in his pure function,
deals with humanity as q whole. He
is not instructed to differentiate be-
tween white and red, yellow and
black. Even in warfare a wounded
man should be to him a wounded
man, regardless Of his utilization
with any army.
1t may be that researches by the
Rockefeller institute in regard to
African sleeping sickness will re-
vitalize the energy of hard-pressed
native tribes. That, too, may even
tually constitute a threat against
the eternal survival of white doni-
nance.

disease the patient is unable to
use sugar, so that fats are incom-
pletely burned in the body and acid
substances are produced.
These acid substances accumulate,
and the body must develop alkaline
substances to neutralize them.
In connection with the larger
flow Of urine in diabetes, there is
a tendency to wash alkaH out of the
body. For this reason it is GUS
tomary in diabetes, with acid con-
ditions, to control the acid condl-
ton by the giving of bicarbonate Of
soda and by supplying glucose.
Acidosis also occurs in some dis
eases of the kidney, but it never is
so severe in such conditions as when
it is associated with diabetes.
There are some physicians who
believe that mild conditions of aci-
dosis may be responsible for all
sorts of symptoms, such as head
ache, nausea, lack of pep" and
similar vague disturbances.
The control Of such conditions OBJ
viously is much more simple than
in the severe acidosis that occurs in
the diseases mentioned.

Loo Much IMAGINATION

w lVlUOll OSltIO llOll
COMETIMES one wonders if the
= great problem before humanity
is not how to direct its surplus i'm
agination.
Maybe, the ancients were not I'M
wise in permitting their surplus
imagination to expend itself on
harmless fairy tales. Maybe we
have undertaken an impossible job
in attempting to conf1ne it to the
serious business of life.
Such emanations as Mother
Goose" and Jack the Giant Killer"
may appear woefully ridiculous in
the light of what we have learned,
but they were harmless, compared
to the absurdities which some of
our bright minds are putting forth
in the name Of honest, intelligent
thought
If we need football as an outlet
for the excess energy of youth, who
knows but we need the field of ex-
travaganza as an outlet for the
excess energy Of dreamers.
The postwar period, as well as
the war itself, has witnessed some
of the most glorious lying this old
world ever knew.
The one big difference is that the
lying was trotted forward in the
name of truth, while older and
simpler ages made no such pre-
tense.
Back in those good old DAYS. be-
fore science had been enthroned as
the chief god, men were content
to admit an appetite for myth and
fable. We still have the appetite,
still demand the product, but be-
cause of a belief that we suddenly
have become rational and know so
much that we carr afford to dis
pense with the romantic, we want it
represented as something else.

Doctors Disagree

IN reply to a letter from Dr.. S.
L Adolphus Knopf, who defended
birth control, the Rev. Ignatius w.
Cox cites testimony from another
physician.
He quotes Dr.. William Gerry Nor
gan, president Of the American
Medical Association. DR.. Morgan is
not Catholic. He has expressed
regret at the action taken by the
Federal Council Of Churches.
1t must be that DR.. Morgan
stands high in his profession. But
the opening paragraph Of his state
ment seems to indicate that here
is a problem which he is not ap-
preaching from the calm, dispas-
sionate position OF the physician.
He has written:
The question Of birth control is
Of vital importance TO the future of
our country, since it affects directly
the survivalspf the white race and
its doH1inanks IN wcrld progress"

NNE or two correspondents have
" chided me for not writing
column about the death of Knute
Rockne. Explanation Of that is
easy enough.
Much has been said and written
about Rockne by men who knew him
intimately. I could add nothing.
He seemed to me by far the great
est Of football coaches. And this,
to be sure, identified him as more
than a close student Of the game.
It also meant that he was a su-
perb practical psychologist. All
men who knew him have an en-
thusiasm for Knute Rockne as a
person. This is magnificent trib-
ute.
What I have to add will offend
many. And yet can not resist
pointing out the lack Of proportion
in American journalism and Ameri-
can thinking.
When a President and an ex-
President comes into print to speak
Of the death of great college
football coach as a national calam-
ity, 7 am puzzled. I wonder what
will be left to mark the passing Of
any one who profoundly has af-
fected the educational system of our
country.
I would not have public sympathy
and respect less ready and articu-
late than it now is. But I must say
frankly that it is curious world
in which the teaching Of a game
looms up larger in the popular
imagination than instruction in tine
principles of life itself.
And if the reply comes that on
the gridiron young men learn the
very essence CT citizenship, Of pa
triotisrn and of cooperation, must
answer that this is putting too heavy
load upon the sport and that
don't believe it.

MILK. to the laymen, is some
4'A thing to drink, or the raw ma
terial for the manufacture Of but
ter or cheese.
To the chemical engineer, it is
the raw material for the manufac-
ture Of paint, glue, buttons, foun-
tain pens, artificial ivory. artificial
coral, artificial torquoise shell. and
the coatings for paper.
All these products are being
manufactured from skim milk
which once was thrown away. They
represent another triumph Of the
research chemist, whose motto Is
the elimination Of waste and who
spends his time seeking methods of
turning waste into by-products.
Within recent years there has
been a tremendous demand for
cream as result of increased mar
kets for butter and ice cream.
With the growth of great cream
cries in all parts Of the United
States, billions OF tons Of skim milk
were produced and wasted.
1t is estimated that 22,50o, 000. 900
pounds Of skim milk are available
annually in the United States. Most
Of this still is wasted, but not all.
The chemist has found a way to
use millions of pounds annually and
the amount thus used is increasing
every year.

Cheese and CaSein

TINE chemist begins his magic by
4 the production Of casein. Cows
milk contains about 1854 per cent
fat, 800 per cent casein, and 4.88
per cent sugar. The bulk OF the
milk, about 81 per cent is, Of course.
water.
The production of caseiu is es-
sentially the manufacture Of cheese.
When whole milk is allowed to sour.
it forms a white solid mass known
as the curd. This consists Of the
casein and the butter fats.
The skim milk no longer con-
tains the fats, but the casein still is
there. The chemist, therefore, be-
gins by separating the casein from
the skim milk.
There are three methods used
for this. One forms the so-called
self soured or Tactic acid casein.
In this method, a culture of Tactic
acid bacteria, the bacteria which
cause the milk to sour, is added to
the vats containing the skim milk.
The action of the bacteria forms
Tactic acid which precipitates the
casein, causing it to form solid
curds. These curds then are sepa-
rated from the remaining liquid or
whey, dried, and broken up into
SMALL bits, the resulting casein be-
ing in granular form, ranging in
color from straw to buff.
The second method produces the
so-called acid caseins. In this
method, either dilute sulphuric acid
or dilute hydrochloric acid are
added to the skim milk, causing
precipitation of the casein.
The third method produces rem
net casein. In this method, rem
net, an engine obtained from the
lining of calves stonnaclls, is used to
precipitate the casein.

Questions and
Answers

Does the pelican feed its young
with blood from its own breast?
Parent pelicans are said to carry
water as well as food to their young
in their pouches. The nail or hook
which terminates the bill is red,
and it has been suggested that the
ancient fable of the pelican feeding
its young with blood from its own
breast originated from its habit of
pressing the bill upon the breast,
when the red tip might be mistaken
for blood.
What would happen TO the earth
if the sun suddenly ceased to exist?
All life on earth would cease in
very short time; the temperature
here would become so cold that all
water would freeze solidly and
evaporation and precipitation would
cease.
What is delta?
tt is an alluviaI deposit formed
at the mouth of a river by the fine
silt brought down in suspension by
the water and deposited when the
rivers current becomes ineffective.
