Yeast Heart Splits
Under Electricity,
Scientists Reveal
Oregon Discovery May
Give Key to Riddle of
What Causes All Growth.

BY the Associated Press.
EUGENE, Greg, April 15.--Discoy-
cry of an affinity between the growing
heart of yeast and high voltage electric
ity is announced at the University OF
Oregon.
This heart is something which causes
yeast to grow, but instead of being a
simple substance it is composed OF vari-
Gus little-known parts which scientists
call bios" fractions.
A 1000O-volt electric current causes
these growth factors to separate from
the yeast and from each other, and
even goes 50 far as to gather them IN
different tubes ready for study.
Analysis of the bios fractions may
give science another clue to the now un-
solved riddle of what causes growth oil
any Kind. At present 1t is suspected
that microscopic yeast plants have
common growth factor with trees, horses
and men-in short, that discovery OF
what underlies the growth principle OF
one kind of living c. II may open the way
to understanding them all.
The shocking method OF separating
the yeast growth fractions was discov-
cred by Roger J. Williams. professor OF
chemistry, and John Turesdail, research
assistant The yeast industry, it is also
announced last night, has furnished
money for further research.
DR.. Williams for several years has
been studying the relation of the anti
neuritic vitamin B to yeast growth slim

ton by engineers. The figure named in
the lowest bid was S21 ,02095.
Streets to be paved are Bethesda

lington road. The surface is to be of

pointed a clerk in the Office of the
