AIR MADE BY
CHEMISTS ART
MORE HEALTHY
Science Beats Nature at
Own Game, Tests With
Mice Reveal.
DIET FADS ARE FLAYED
Long Research Necessary
to Reach a Normal
Ration, Saws Expert.

Science believes it can beat
Mother Earth at her own job-that
of providing atmosphere in which
10 breathe.
Experiments we're announced to-
day at the meeting of the American
Chemical Society that life can be
sustained more BEAUTIFULLY with a
synthetic atmosphere which can be
manufactured and introduced in
Office buildings, airplanes and sub
marines than with the nitrogen
oxygen that surrounds the world
Professor J. w. Hershey of Nc
Pherson college, Mcpherson, Kan,
told the chemists that experiments
with white mice showed that in
some cases they lived more health
fully in helium- oxygen instead of
the nitro oxygen with which the
world is surrounded.
Suggests Uses for Gas
He suggested that submarines,
airplanes and artif1cially ventilated
buildings should be filled with this
synthetic atmosphere.
His paper means that America
the nation cornering the supply on
helium gas-controls the synthetic
atmosphere of future submarines,
planes and skyScrapers.
During his eight years of expert
mentS Professor Hershey said he had
been convinced that rare gases such
as argon, heliun, neon, krypton, and
xenon are vital to respiration.
The nations supply of helium is
used for dirigibles.
Tie cause of a strange nothing
of otherwise healthy teeth of chill
dren in certain parts Of the coun-
try, notably Texas, has been traced
to the chemical element fluorine
through Investigations which H. v.
Churchill reported to the society.
Make Gasoline of Coke
Fluorine, an element not widely
distributed in nature, was found in
drinking water used by persons
whose teeth were discolored. The
fluorine discoloration is located un-
der the enamel of the teeth. So
far as can be ascertained, the mot
thing does not cause fundamental
tooth decay. Before Churchill's re-
search, the trouble had been attrib-
uted to lack of calcium in the diet.
Experiments of Gustav Egloff,
Raymond E. Schaad and G. d.
Lowry Jr., of the Universal Oil
Products Company of Chicago, were
discussed nowing the possibility of
coke becoming the commercial basis
for producing gasoline in the
future.
The coke is thrown into fits s.
worked into acetylene gas-and then
made into The motor fuel.
Chemists to Bloomington
Dedication Of Indiana university's
new chemistry building today took
many of the chemists to Blooming
ton. Buses were provided at 8 this
morning for those who left early for
the ceremonies. Visits to limestone
quarries near Bloomington and a
dinner at the school we're other
highlights of the program.
The last session of the society's
convention on Friday will be for the
most part tips to city industries,
sightseeing tours, and a wind-up of
the society's official business.

SUGAR MAKES VARNISH
IN NEWEST PROCESS
Chemists Told of Experiment on
"Inverting" Table Sweet.

Besides being the sweet in your
coffee and the pep in your brew,
sugar has been given the capability
of vanishing the radio cabinet in
the Hoosier home by chemists of
the American Chemical Society.
Professor Jack P. Montgomery of
the University of Alabama told
chemists today that ordinary table
sugar could be made into a varnish.
1.-THE sugar is first inverted by
acid, producing glucose and fructose
and a resin made by the addition
of aniline. This resin when dis
solved in acetone gives a varnish, -

Grandma's remedy for spring fe-

People long have been interested
in the relation Of sulphur to health,
as witnessed by the use of the spring
tonic, sulphur and molasses, said
M. x. Sullivan Of the Chemo-Med-
ical Research Institute, Georgetown

This tonic probably has some JUS
tification. since there is evidence at
hand that sulphur makes a useful
laxative, increases peristalsis and
possibly nulli1es the activity OF va
rious amines," he said.

HEALTH SERVICE
Heart Enlarged by Heavy Demands

Of the human body, however, and
any change that affects the rest
of the body is likely to affect the
heart at the same time.
When unusual demands are placed
upon the heart, it will, like other
organs, enlarge to accommodate
those demands. A severe sudden
effort thrown suddenly upon the
heart unused to work may result
in sudden acute enlargement.
The hearts of persons of ordinary
body build, indulging in ordinary
amount of exercise, have not been
found by investigators to be en-
larged over those of persons who do
not exercise but rather to have
somewhat better functional capac-
ity.
In other words, exercise for
pleasure does not cause enlarge
ment of the heart, but on the con-
trary produces a strengthening of
the whole organism.
Competitive athletics, however,
provide a different observation.
Oarsmen, swimmers and marathon
runners are found to have hearts
enlarged beyond the normal. Skiers
and bicycle racers have hearts that
are even larger.
Football players and boxers show
relatively little change in the heart
and fencers apparently none.
