ADprehenSiYe Now

THE average American has no
i such comfortable feeling with
regard to this tempest on the coast
of China. Though it is much far
Their away than was the invasion
of Belgium, he has a well formed
conviction that it might come too
close if allowed to continue.
We have learned something, not
only through what we lost after
entering the war, but through the
bills we still are paying.
The American people do not care
to be involved in another war right
now, which justly might be de-
scribed as consistent with their ira
ditionS, but they have come to the
conclusion that they can not be
sure of keeping out of war if it gets
well under way, which represents a
real revision of their views and
opinions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Popular
IN reaction to this threat of war
in the Orient is worth studying. It
reveals a profound change in
sentiment. People no longer are
infatuated with the spectacle. What
they want most is to see it stopped.
That is because they have learned
that no nation is safe with major
conflict in progress.
When Europe blew up eighteen
years ago, the average American sat
calmly down to read all about it in
his favorite paper. His chief con-
Germ was full information regard
ing maneuvers, technique and,
above all else, the grewsome side.
He felt that he was perfectly safe,
that, no matter what happened, he
couldn't possibly be hurt and that
it was his privilege to enjoy the
show as a disinterested spectator.

IT is well enough to argue that we
L might avoid such responsibilities
by living strictly unto ourselves,
but that is impossible.
We can not repeal the laws of
progress, especially as manifested
in human nature and human
achievement.
We are going on with the i'm
provement of the means of travel,
trade and communication. We are
going to extend our commercial,
industrial and social relations. We
are going to make more and more
investments in foreign lands, and
the people of those lands are going
to make more and more investments
in ours.

six officers and $50 enlisted men
and an infantry regiment is COM
posed Of three battalions of four
companies each, or twelve compa-
MES in all.
Does. the. Mediterranean. have
high tides?
Owing to the narrow channel
which connects the Mediterranean
with the ocean there is very little
tide, though in some places, as in
the Ionian sea, the Adriatic and on
parts of the African coast, it some
times rises about six feet.
Under what President was the

CENIOR classes hereabouts have
- been in the habit of indica' g
belief that Mussolini is the great
est man in the world. George Ber-
nard Shaw praised him, and a New
York song writer has composed a
ballad built around the Italian die
tator.
These things must have gone to
his head. 1t was not impossible for
the Duce to indulge in decisions of
grandeur for little while and i'm
agine himself to be the trey or even
the six spot. But he can not long
exalt himself into the entire pack
without running the risk of having
somebody call for a new deck.
And this dictator, like many
others, has erred in his attempt to

A Sherlock Holmes

I'm 1913 Professor Abel succeeded
Il in isolating a hornone which is
secreted by the glands in the skin
of the toad. This harmone is
somewhat similar to adrenaline.
Abel named it bufagin. It is a
powerful heart stimulant and has
an action similar to that of digi-
tails.
In many ways, Professor Abel has
been a sort of Sherlock Holmes in
the realm of biology, devoting his
time to tracing down powerful but
elusive substances, which although
present in tiny quantities, exercise
vast influences upon the living or
ganism.
Thus, for example, he succeeded
in isolating the active agent in GER
tain poisonous mushrooms.
In 1926 he undertook to isolate
pure insulin. Banting and Mcleod,
in their famous work which won
them the Nobel prize, succeeded in
obtaining an extract from the pam
creatic glands of animals which is
known as insulin. More exactly, it
is an extract which contains in
sulin among other substances, many
Of them proteins.
Abel succeeded in separating out
the insulin as a crystalline COM
pound. This paved the way for
much important work upon the ma
ture of insulin anu it's role in the
living organism.
No record of Professor AbePs
work would be complete without
mention of the many men whom he
has trained during his years at
Johns Hopkins.
A long list could be made Of his
former pupils who are now dis
tinguished as professors, research
workers and medical practitioners.

MANY think it is a miracle that
1V1 Mussolini managed to get the
trains of Italy to arrive and depart
on time. But he will have much
more severe task if he persists in
his determination to make the wonl-
en- of Italy live up or down to speci-
hcations set by him.
That is precisely what he is do
ing. The latest edict concerns the
female figure. In a speech to the
doctors of his country, the Duce in
formed these physicians that they
must fight against the dictates Of
modern style.
"You must correct" he said, "the
distortions which are the preju-
dices of fashion. Excessive reducing
weakens the race and has repercuS-
sions in social economy"
In other words, slimneSS is Sedi-
ton and anti-fat no better than
anti -Fascism. Now, no man, or wom-
an for that matter, justly can COM
plain if Benito likes them plump. A
dictator has a right to whims just
as much as the humblest of his sub
jects. But he should not confuse
a private passion with public
policy.
Soon, I suppose, there will be a
drive throughout Italy, with ora
tors on every corner. I suppose you
might even call it community
chest campaign. Fingers of scorn
will be pointed at lovely ladies who
are slackers and failed to drink the
daily quart of milk.
A national burlesque theater will
be endowed, and the first show will
be the Italian equivalent for Billy
Watson's Beef Trust" With a stroke
of the pen, MuSsolini means to abol-
ish ankles and re-eStablish con-
tours. No longer is Italy to lie be-
yond the mountains of Nebraska.

policy at least, upon the part OF
the theatrical producer.
In his early stage ventures, Mr.
Ziegfeld was associated with Anna
Held. Against her Mussolini could
have had no complaints whatso-
ever. Nc only did she drink milk
but, according to her press agent
she bathed in it. Miss Held was
buxom in her best and certainly the
highest sense of the word.
But when her day was done, a
new star arose, named Marilyn Mil
Ter. This delightful dancer waJ
modelled in manner which would
have induced Mussolini to declare
martial law. A wisp of g. person
from head to toe, she met none of
the measurements set by the tradi-
ton of Lillian Russell and the
Venus of Milo. After centuries of
subservience, Sparta had conquered
Athens.

TN clarifying Marilyn Miller, it
L seemed advisable not to set her
in front of any bevy of the billowy.
The show girls and the chorus girls
had to be as pleasingly slim as the
star herself.
There was a brief revolution on
the part of the Old Guard, but after
a little street fighting the new day

Research in HOrmoneS

IN 1893, Professor Abel joined the
4 Johns Hopkins medical school,
and for fifteen years was head of
both the departments of physiolog-
ical chemistry and pharmacology.
(Pharmacology is the science of
drugs and its use in medical prac-
tice.)
In Europe, during his years at va
rious universities. Professor Abel
had come in contact with the lead
ing medical men Of the continent.
He had attended lectures by leading
research men and made the rounds
in the hospitals with the leading
clinical authorities. He had am
pie preparation to become one of
the leaders in American medicine.
Professor Abel's chief interest Law
IN the chemistry of the living or
ganiSm and at an early date he
undertook studies of the substances
known as hormoneS.
The hormones are chemical sub
stances which are poured into the
blood stream by various ductless
glands.
These hormones regulate and
control many body processes. A
shortage or an overdose of any
particular hormone usually results
in a serious condition of disease.
In 1895 Professor Abel started a
series of experiments to isolate the
blood pressure by raising hormone
which is Secreted by the central
portion or medulla of the adrenaI
glands.
He succeeded in obtaining it in
relatively free form which he
named epinephrine. Takamine, OBJ
tanned it in a still purer form, which
he named adrenaline.
Adrenaline is well known because
of its use in medicine as a slim
ulant.

dency for the present year upon
one Of the worlds most distin-
guiShed workers in the field of med
ical research. He is Professor John
j. Abel Of the Johns Hopkins uni
verSity medical schools.
He has made important researches
into many fields. These have adj
vanced the worlds medical knowl-
edge and won him many honors.
Professor Abel was born on Nav
10, 1857, on farm near Cleveland.
AT the age of 10 he entered the
University of Michigan. He inter-
rupted his college career to become
SNNS-ASA az La VI LCs Ill.,
ing Latin, mathematics, physics and
chemistry.
After three years, however, he re-
turned to college and received his
degree in 1883. He then went to
John Hopkins university for a
years postgraduate study in phys
iology and biology.
The year at Johns Hopkins only
marked the beginning of Abel's
training. The next six and a half
years he spent in study in Europe
at the Universities of Leipzig
StraSsburg, Heidelburg, Berne and
Vienna.
He also managed, during vacation
periods, to do some studying at
the universities of Wurzburg, Ber-
lin and Paris.
In 1891 he returned to the Uni
versity of Michigan to become pro-
lessor of materia medica and
therapeutics.

violating all the postulates of humanity,

Senate Takes Up
20 Minutes Telling
Why 1t Was Tardy
Members Eager to Cor.

Hard They Work.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate spent 20 minutes today
telling the country how hard it works
and explaining why none of its men,
bers was on hand yesterday when Vice
President Curtis raped the gavel at
10 am.
Senator Fess, Republican whip, read
to the Senate the Associated Press
story Of Curtis calling an empty SEN
ate chamber to order and said it did
not convey the right impression,
though he did not deny the facts.
1T conveys the impression" Fess
said, that will not be corrected by
the press, that this body is tardy, in
different and unsolicitous, with no suf-
ficient regard for the public interest to
be present when the Senate convenes." !"
Several other Senators Joined in, to
tell how hard they and their colleagues
had been working. Senator Harrison,
Democrat. of Mississippi, said the Sen
ate had sat the night before until 10:15
and Senator Watson, Republican, of
Indiana, said seven committees had
been meeting yesterday morning.
AS Fess continued, Chairman Smoot
OF the Finance Committee stood beside
his chair, impatient to resume consider
alton of the tax bill.
Finally. Senator Reed. Republican. of
Pennsylvania, said: There's no use
complaining. let's get back to work on
the bill"
Fess insisted that the story had car
ried an inference that was not justifi-
able and was terribly dangerous in
producing the wrong impression"
The story to which he referred had
pointed out that the Senate had mus
tered quorum at 1910 am, after
members had been summoned by a roll
call.

Senator Nye, Republican, Of North

Reed objected, saying Il don't think
any Senator has a right to ask for such
an agreement for a single measure
when the Senate calendar is clogged

Nye appealed to Reed to withdraw
his objection, but Senator Bratton,
