ARQK
a DAY
on BRUCE CATION

VULNERABLE," by Dale Col
Y Inns. is one OF those ingeni-
Gus and interesting yarns about the
odd way in which sheer luck can
control human destinieS.
The luck in this case is the luck
that arises in card games.
If the young bride, for instance,
hadn't trumped her partners ace
she wouldn't have gone on an ocean
trip with her husband. the sea cap
tain.
If the animal hunter hadn't held
a pair of fourS in a poker game in
Nicaragua. he wouldn't have board
ed her ship at the Panama canal,
thereby interrupting her husbands
little scheme to get rid Of her.
If the young EngliShman in Raro-
tonga hadn't bid a little slam. which
he was unable to make, he wouldn't
have come aboard the ship either
and. consequently. wouldn't have
been able TO rescue the lady when
the ship hit derelict and sank.
And so it goes-a series of dis
connected accidents. purpoSely far
fetched, strung together to make an
amusing little romance. II ought
to be a good book for bridge fans
for such bridge fans. that is. as
take time enough out from their
cards to read at all.
Incidentally. the book is made
to order for movie purposes: and
I'm afraid the movie is going to
be pretty terrible.

-Dietz on Science
CHIEF FUNCTION
OF LIFE is TO
CHANGE ENERGY
Theory Is Basis of All Sci
entific Study of
Organism.
BY DAVID DIETZ
scripps Howard Science Editor

The living organism must be
studied as a transformer Of en-
ergy." in the opinion Of Sir Fred
erick Gowland Hopkins. famous
British biochemist and president Of
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science.
According 10 modern scientific
views. all the energy Of the universe
is tending to dissipate itself uni
formly throughout space.
But the living organism. he points
out, temporarily halts this down.
ward flow Of energy. concentrating
energy within itself for its own pur-
poses. Therefore, 70 understand
the phenomena Of life, the scientist
must study these energy transforma-
tons within the living organism.
The fundamental process by which
living organisms on this earth cap
ture the energy of sunlight is known
as photosynthesia. Plants, Of course,
do the capturing. while animals get
their energy secondhand by eating
plants or each other.
Function as Traps
II is the presence of chlorophyll
in the plant cells which makes it
possible for them to function as
what Sir Frederick calls energy
traps"
With the aid Of chlorophyll, which
acts as a chemical catalyst, the
plant cells combine the carbon
dioxide of the air and the water of
the soil into sugars and starches.
These compounds when burnt as
fuel or utilized as food give up the
energy which they absorbed from
the sunlight.
But Sir Frederick does not think
that photoSynthesis was the or
iginal form of energy trap.
1t Is impossible to believe that
such a complex mechanism was as
ISOLATED with life's earliest stages"
he says. Existing organisms illus
trate what was perhaps an earlier
method.
Methods Lack Economy
The so-called autotrophic bac-
terra obtained energy for growth by
the catalyzed oxidation of materials
belonging wholly to the inorganic
world; such as sulphur, iron. or am
monia, and even free hydrogen.
FTTtoea o,-ra ,,5ev,,e 5iev,o,1co Tr-ifI, cOIor
energy. but they have lost in the
evolutionary race because their
methods lack economy.
Other existing organisms, certain
purple bacteria. seem to have taken
a step toward greater economy,
without reaching that of the green
cell. They dispense with free oXy-
gen and yet obtain energy from the
inorganic world.
Process Is Controlled
They control a process in which
carbon dioxide gives up oxygen and
hydrogen sulphide is simultaneous
" oxidized. The molecules of the
former are activated by solar en-
ergy which their pigmentary equip
ment enables these organisms to er-
rest"
There remains also the possibility
that there may be a level of life
below that of the bacterial cell.
In this connection, the so-called
filter-pasSing viruSeS. important to
man because of their relation to
certain diseases, come to mind at
once. But Sir Frederick says that
we can not yet claim to know
whether or not they are living or
ganiSmS.

the District would not be able to send to the
front so many men, the proposed apportion-
ment only allowing them about one-fourth the
number they had under arms.
THIS was, quite naturally, great disappoint-
ment but in the end, as will be seen, it
proved fortunate for the troops that they had
been ordered back to their armory, for when
the order finally came from the Secretary of
War, on May 9, directing the Adjutant Cen
eral of the Army Immediately to issue an order
embodyng instructions for one regiment of
volunteers from the District Of Columbia to
60 into camp the next day, 1t was then realized
that all the men who had offered their services
could not pass the physical examination.
This order, nevertheless, proved relief to
the District troops, and a compliment at the

KING TUT CURSE AGAIN
SEEN ACTIVE IN PARIS

PARIS, France-(CNS)- Friends
of J. F. Cellerior, noted French re.
search scientist, are wondering if he
is the latest victim Of King Tut ankh
amen's vengeance on the excavators
of his tomb.
Cellerier has lost the use Of his
left eye as a result of ultra violet ray
tests on a small wooden statue from
an ancient Egyptian funeral chamber,
sent to him by Henri Verne, director
of national museums.
In the test, he was astonished to
observe "an exceptional luminosity"
emanting from the figure. Shortly at
terward he felt a pain in his left eye,
from which he eventually lost the
sight.
He did not dare to blame the
strange brilliancy of the statue. said
his official report, "although it GER
tainly had been coated with an un-
known organic substance" He hopes
to regain the use of his y on a
months leave Of absence from the
National Physical Testing Labora-
tory, Of which he is director.

On the Job
September FL, 1893.

Mr.. Randall Biart,
State Relief Director of Nebraska.
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Dear SIR:
l should like to call your attention
to a report brought to me that dis
elimination as to color is manifested
regarding federal relief employment
in the state Of Nebraska. Whether
tho Same has been Intentionally or
unintentionaily, we Dc not know, but
We ara seeking An immediate rectifi-
cation Of this situation.
Il is stated prospective workers Of
q group seeking employment on
state federal relief projects have
been given alibis and statements that
only skilled workmen, or special men
for special jobs are being considered.
From Investigations. Potter Kiewit,
contractor, in charge Of federal re-
lief work in Douglas County has TAX
en- on any number Of workers. but
has not given consideration to any Of
this group and We are asking you to
see in hiring future employees that
no Discrimination as to color Ia mani
tested.
We are tax payers, voters and sup
porters Of our city, county and state,
entitled to employment in proportion
to others. Even since the N. e. A.
codes have gone into effect, many
employers, rather than pay Colored
workers the minimum authorized
salary have laid them off and taken
On others, which is not fair as We
have to live and have obligations that
must be met the anne n others.
II you will pardon me, I should
like to call your attention to q recent
happening among representatives. Of
our . c Several appeared before the
London Aviation Corps for employ
ment, but this body thinking they
were inefficient rejected them. Jap
an however, took these men in charge,
and the last reports received indicat-
ed all ere making good, and have be-
come competent aviators. II we are
not given a chance it is impossible for
Us to prove ourselves competent.
We are asking you, as State Relief
Director Of Nebraska, to use all in
huence possible to see that workmen
Of this group are considered in pro-
portion to others when seeking work
On state federal relief projects.
Thanking you very much for what
ever consideration you may give;
hoping to hear from you regarding
this matter.
Respectfully yours,
