WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-A pos sible new aid to health of babies has been found, for scientists have discovered the horrnone, or gland, secretion that causes production of mothers milk. "
 This information comes from the Carnegie Institution of Wash ington.
 The newly isolated horfnone is a secretion of the pituitary gland. located at the base of the skull behind the root of the nose. The same gland secretes two other normones that influence bodily growth and sex activity.
 Hormones are lsubstances that are carried through the body in the blood stream, and are neces- sary to arouse many organs to normal activity. They are produced by all the ductless, Or endocrine. glands.
 The new hormone was obtained from pituitary glands of cattle and sheep, and when injected into guinea pigs and rabbits caused their mammary glands to begin secreting milk, said the Carnegie announcement.
 The discovery is credited to Dr. Oscar Riddle, Dr. Robert w. Bates and Simon w. Dykshorn of the Carnegie Institutions Department of Genetics at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y. They tentatively have nam ed the new hormone "prolactin."

Great Bear Lake Near Arc
 tic Circle Has Rich Deposits of Silver

At Great Bear Lake, the Far , North's new mining camp, 12O person, passed last winter, and not rnany more are believed to be there now. The Canadian camp which is close to the Arctic Circle and considerably east of Good Hope on the Mackenzie River. rich in silver, and no doubC would attract more attention if the white metal were Tot in such poor demand. 1 According to information obtain ed from Canadian newspapers, Great Bear Lake for two months during the spring breakup was completely isolated. From the mid dle Of April, when the last ski plane left the ice until June 21 when the first pontoon- plane ar-. rived, the camp was cut off from connection with the outside world. . Stakes Driven in Snow
 Last Winter was spent by the camps 120 residents in snow stalk ing for ,syndicates or in building camps, cutting firewood, surveying claims, etc. About half the resi- :. dents were seeking new ground, and half were employed by con-, cerns which had staked or &C.,. quired claims last season.
 During March there was some overland travel, mostly by trappers from the lower Mackenzie country, who visited the field, staked their limit of claims and departed again, for their usual winter hangouts.
 Planes Stay During Winter
 Three small planes were left at Great Bear all winter, and were. used in short prospecting trips from the established camps. These were a Canadian Airways, Ltd. taxiplane and two light Fairchilds belong ing to the Northern Aerial Mining Exploration and A. X. Syndicate.
 A rich silver discovery by Con-. tract Lake Mines, Ltd, outside the, previously proved area. has indi- cated that the mineral field is. larger than was previously report- ed. \
 Work on Echo Bay Group [
 Aside from this, the most im- portant new work has been that, on the Echo Bay group optionedl by Consolidated Mining 6 Smelt- ing Co.,, which adjoins the Eldora- do group, scene of the first silver radium discovery. The vein has been traced for TOO feet, Two par-| allel veins have been found, and a diamond drill was installed late in June at point about one mile from the Eldorado's main pit. It is generally believed at Great Bear that 'sTrair' has anri extension of the E1dorado. although so far the only reports of mineral discoveries in Consolidated ground mention high-grade silver, while Endorado contains pitch ble4de with its silver. .l
 Other Ground Acquired tl
