GROWTH H0RMONE
FOUND IN PLANTS
Chemical in "Brains" at Tip
Acts by Changing Elasticity
OF Cell Wall.
By THOMAS Il, HENRY.

Plants have their growth i1ornone."
Concentration and partial analysis of
an extremely potent substance IN the
vegetable world. which acts similarly
to some of the powerful chemicals Sc
creted from the endOCrine glands OF
animals has just been reported in the
proceedings of the National Academy
OF Sciences here.
A plant grows upward by elongatlon
OF its cells in the growing tip. This
process apparently depends on the
presence Of this chemical in the tips,
which sometimes have been described
as the brains of the plant because OF
their delicate reactions to stimuli The
hormone acts by changing the plas-
ticitv of the cell wall. 1t IS 1ound
not only in the higher plants, but Is
produced in relatively large quantltieS
by fungi yeasts and bacteria at tne
bottom of the vegetable kingdom. II
also is known to exist in malt slrup.
Comes From Fungi
The hormone was obtained, accord
ing to the report to the National Acad-
env OF Sciences. by H. E. Dolk and
x V. Thimann of the California IN
stltute of Technology. from a mould
culture. MouldS are fungi which IN

NEW YORK. 5000 workers
gathered at Pleasant Bay Park, Sun
day, at the picnic arranged by the

For about two hours during the
late afternoon workers left their fes-
tivities to demonstrate against the
frame-ups of Samuel Weinstein, fur
niture worker, and Morris Larber, fur
worker, who were recently framed
because they took an active part in
strikes, and of the Scottsboro Negro
boys.
The climax of the demonstration
was reached when Mother Mooney
was introduced to the mass of work
ers by Richard B. Moore, amidst a
thunderous greeting of applause and
cheers.
Max Stern, District Organizer Of
the L L. d. and chairman of the
demonstration, urged the workers to
prepare their forces for the demon
stration on Union Square, Oct. 8, fol-
the release of the Scottsboro boys
He also announced that Oct. 2 and 8
will be tag days, when funds must be
raised for a strong legal defense fol-
