Clinically there are three grades

entirely, and do other strange
things. according to DR.. Frank C.
Whitmore, of Pennsylvania State
College.
Speaking of intramolecular rear
rangements at the annual SYM
postum of the organic chemistry
division Of the American Chemical
Association, DR.. Whitmore cited as
an example the changes which
can be made to occur in turpen-
tine by changing the molecular
structure.
Without the addition of subtrac-
ton of any chemical or substance
from turpentine, obtained from a
Maine pine tree, it can be changed
to borneol by manipulating the
molecules and from borneol to
camphene, which becomes cam
phor. The original camphor is
obtained from the gum of the
camphor tree in South America.
Manipulation, of molecules in dye
compounds will change the color.
With like manipulation, the scent
of the rose may be changed to
that of the onion-or worse.

QN.S0-Further substantiation
of Einstein's special theory Of
relativity held the limelight to-
day at the annual convention OF
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
This new proof of the German
scientists theory embodies the use
of the fourth dimension-time-
as a measurable quantity, DR..
Robert Andrews Millikan, famed
California astronomer, told the
physicists section of the conven'
ton. te.'
The experiment was carried
on, DR.. Millikan revealed. by two
American physicists, Prof. Roy J.
Kennedy and Edward M. Thorn
dyke, members of the staff Of the
California Institute of Technology
at Pasadena.
The results of the work Of
Kennedy and Thorndyke showed
that the velocity Of light is con-
slant, regardless Of the speed Of
the light source. The Kennedy
Thorndyke experiment produced
calculations similar to those
evolved in the famous Nicholson
Morley experiment on the basis
of which EinStein first formu-
lated his theory.

The bidding, I think, is very
fine throughout. I showed two
suits in response to my partners
forcing takeout, but when he rebid
Spades, in which suit had a
Singleton, I bid Three No Trump
because my Club Suit, although
long, was not rebiddable.
When Ely then jumped to Six
Clubs, it would have been ex-
tremely unwise for me to bid
seven, although I felt absolutely
certain he held both of the
aces, which were lacking in my
hand.
I even felt the making of seven
was a strong probability, but
despite that, I did not think it
should be bid, and so in the play,
I made an over-trick on my
Slam bid, but as this was an
important factor in establishing
a lead of more than 10000 points,
1 did not feel regretful.
The Slam hand came after our
opponents had bid and made a
game, and at the time had a part
score of so, while we had no
game and no part score.

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 (I.N.S).
"Hello, suckers" greeted
Texas Guinan early today
when a. squad of Federal pro-
hibition raiders invaded her
night club, Planet Mars, and
darkened it's bright lights on
the eve of a gay New Year
celebration.
The Guinan gang of dancing
girls was prancing about to the
accompaniment of Great Big
Hands," from some 100 merry
couples, when in walked the dry
squad.
Patrol Closed to Tex
Tex herself was arrested and
placed in technical custody, but
the Federal agents would not
allow her to ride in the patrol
wagon. One of them told La
Guinan: ,.....
"It's too crowded. There are
too many of your walters and
managers in the wagon al
ready"
After rounding up the atten-
dants and walters, the raiders
sumoned the Government "de-
struction" squad. A few minutes
after the raid, a line of trucks
drew up in front of the cafe
and began carting away some
$3.50 worth of furniture and
fixtures.
Two Bottles Seized
Those arrested, besides Tex,
were her manager, her head
waiter and two walters. The
walters were breaking bottles in
the kitchen when dry agents ap,
peared. Two bottles, however,
were rescued for the Government
and taken to headquarters as
evidence.
Tex and her co-defendants were
ordered to appear later today
before a United States commits
sioner Tex moaned:
''What am going to do

NEW YORK, Dec. 81
G.N.S.).-With a top-heavy
lead, the bidding of a small
slam is a questionable pro-
cedure.
Under the same conditions to
bid a grand slam and risk not
making an almost certain small
slam would be very foolish in
deed.
When you have coupled with
it an order from the captain Of
your team to refuse to bid a
grand slam. even though the bid
ding would seem to indicate that
it was laid down, I am sure I
need no other explanation for
my failure to bid a grand slam
on the hand below, which was
played in the 10th rubber of
our match with Sidney S. LEM
and Comdr. Winfield Liggett, jr.,
to test the respective merits of
the approach-forcing and official
systems of contract bidding.

Yesterday was Constitution day
Hath anniversary of the promulgating
of the document that set up this Gov
eminent.
George washington and his associ-
ates of the constitutional convention af-
fixed their names to the four-sheet
parchment.
But no unusual number of visitors
came to gaze upon that historic
document in its gold and marble shrine
at the Library of Congress.
Indeed, the guard said, few among
the sightseeing crowds even know the
date. Many looked yesterday without
even recognizing an anniversary was
on. he said, adding that even some of
the savantS in the Library OF Congress
were rather hazy on the date.
However, William Tyler Page, veteran
clerk of the House and historian, re-
ported that the date is being increaS-
ingly observed.
Patriotic societies, he said, particu-
larly the Sons and Daughters OF the
Revolution, are holding programs in
observance of the day.
Page predicted that Constitution day
would become more and more notable
occasion on the American calendar.

Ants Are Clever Too

When man ponders on his effic-
iency and the manner in which he
has made the beasts of the earth, the
sun, winds and waves work for him,
he might ponder a little about the
ants before deciding that he Is so
superior after all:
King Solomon, with a view to max
ing his people industrious, advised
them to 60 to the ant, to ponder its
ways and be wise. He could have
had no way of knowing that the ant
already had copied after man in
point of making others work for him.
1t all comes out in a recent report
by DR.. F. Okland, a German scien-
tist. who followed the ants to their
hills and observed their ways close
ly over long period OF time. The
first thing he found was that the
ant is prodigious eater, increasing
its weight by half at one meal.
The next thing he discovered was
that the ants diet consists almost
wholly of sugar. The third and most
surprising thing was that 1t obtains
this sugar from the domesticated
animal of the ant family or the plant
louise. These are free to Craze on
vegetation even to the topmost leaf
of the topmost tree, but always there
is an ant standing guard and they
are constantly drained by the ants of
the sugar they obtain from their
feeding.
BY counting the ants that visited
certain trees and by weighing hun
cry ants going up them and gorged
ants coming down, DR.. Okland esti-
mated that, through aphid slaves,
ants in a year sap from the average
tree l3 pounds of sugar.

New York, Sept Opening Of a
Broadway theater season presents
scenes strangely akin to those found
on the fair ground during "old home
week."
TO be sure, the ladies and gentle
men who get together on the curb
stones and sidewalks, in the foyers
and the theater aisles are dressed in
toppers and evening clothes. in sum-
n1er furs and Eugene hats.
But after the passing Of q summer
during which everyone has lost track
Of everyone else, the conversation
goes something like this:

Iner?" "Oh, took the wife and
kids and went down to the Hamp-
TONS" Look swell" 'The
wife looks grand" "All sum tanned,
eh." How many fish ia catch?"
Whats been going on while I
was away?" "How should I
know. I just got back myself" :.
Looks like q good show year"
And so forth and so on.
Now this Is not an unfamiliar line
Of chatter. And perhaps It's not ex-
actly what you'd expect to hear from
gents standing about in silk hats.
But listen to George Jean Nathan
and John Anderson and Gilbert Ca
briel and the various "highhat" crit
ical gents on their first get-together.

"You don't know how I needed a

in Bermuda, isn't he7" "What
do you hear about his marrying
Queenie Smith? Did he or didn't
he?"
And, again so it goes. Small talk,
patter and "old home week" gossip.
The boys are back in town.
Then. II you scanned the audience,
you might see several actresses who
had been out in Hollywood; others
who had been out of work for
months: others who expected shows !
later in the year.
