Rats May Lead Way
to Simpler Eating

Berkeley, Calif.-Rats may
lead the way to less expensive
and more simpler eating for
both humans and animals, if ex-
periments by two young Univer-
sity of California scientists prove
that synthetic vitamins can be
made successfully.
With the use of rats DR.. Rob-
ert e. Cornish and Raymond G.
Archibald have succeeded in Gre
ating the purified" vitamin.
Research on fat-soluble vita
minis already has given consider
able information regarding the
structure of these substances.
Doctor Cornish says an elaborate
machine which separates fat-sol-
uble vitamins from contaminat-
ing substances, depending upon
relating solubilities in octane
and wood alcohol, or in octane
and betamethOxy-ethanol, has
been developed by the pair.
AS yet scientists have found
no reliable test for a vitamin ex-
cept by feeding it to an animal
suffering from a deficiency of
that particular vitamin.

Pwllheli Is Welsh
for "The Salt Pool"

London.-The spelling of the
name of Pwllheli, Wales, should
not deter any from visiting it.
A near phonetic pronunciation
would be "Poolthelly"; it means
THE salt pool" 1t not only has
golf links, bowls, sea and river
fishing, but is in one Of the most
romantic and scenic sections of
Wales.
There are fine views of the
Harlech mountains and Cardigan
bay, while the foothills of the
Snowden range are to its north.
You may long have sung the
glories of the men of Harlech;
this will give you a chance to
live right opposite to them, for
Harlech is across the bay, which
Is always in view from Pwllhelis
long, sandy beach.

Invents Devices to Test
Earth's Radio Activity

Pasadena, Calif.-An amazing ar
ray of devices have been evolved at
the California Institute of Technol-
ogy here to test the radio-activity
of the earth.
DR.. Robley D. Evans seeks to de-
termine with them the amount of
radium In rocks In order to discover
how much of this activity must be-
discounted in studying the action of
the cosmic ray, discovered by DR..
Robert A. Millikan, head Of Caltech.
Included In Doctor Evans equip
ment Is a furnace that will make
granite boil like water; scales that
will weigh one million-millionth of
a gram, or one thousand-millionth
of a pound of radium. and an ap-
paratus so delicate as to chase
atoms of radium through a definite
channel In order that scientists may
count them.
Doctor Evans pulveriZes a granite
boulder, heats it to a temperature
of 3,70O degrees Fahrenheit, and
the rock boils like water. The tenn
perature is measured by an electric
device affected by light rays from
the lava.
The heat forced out of the gases
formed the negative electron. When
the electrons are permitted to re-
unite with the gases, they pass into
delicate scales, where the radium
atoms knock negative electrons
from the atoms of air which are
within the tube-like scales.
By watching the electrOmeter, the
scientist knows from it's reading how
many atoms are passing through.

Turks Are Ordered
to Acquire Names

Istanbul, Turkey.-Milllons Of
Turks are racking their brains to
choose family names for them
selves while the minister OF in
terror prepared a law to enforce
the latest western reform. Any
names may be chosen as long as
they are consistent with Turkish
customs.
Heretofore family names have
been nonextant In Turkey, thou
sands of women being simply
"Fatimas" and thousands of
men "Mustaphas" or "Husgelns."
Sometimes men have added names
indicating they are the sons of
six-fngered man or a fishmonger
Just for distinction.

ribs of the velvet in a diagonal way
is stressed throughout the garments
which are fashioned of this swagger
material. One is especially i'm
pressed with this when it comes to OBJ
serving the high-style resort apparel
which the better shops are now dis
playing. Some perfectly ravishing
little sports coats are shown with
the most unique yokes and pockets,
likewise belts, tabs, flaps, scarfs and
cuffs which make a play on maneu-
vering the ribs Of the velvet in in
genious effects by contrasting YER
ticals, horizontals and diagonals.
String color, beige and various
tones Of gray are fayorite colors
for these resort coats, which later
on will feature for wraps to wear
over ones summer dresses. Even
more alluring are the sports coats
which are made of white velvet. OF
course these are strictly tailored,
their only trimming feature being
conspicuously large buttons.
In the opinion Of leading French
style leaders white ribbed silk vel
vet qualities as a superb material
for the formal evening gown. Just
so you may see how effectively II
is handled we include a tiny sketch
in the Illustration Of an evening
gown which Maggie Rouff creates
Of white ribbed velour. The sleeves
are unique in that they are fash
ioned of white silk floss to simu-
late soft feathers.

USERS GROW

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The in
crease in the number OF mari.
huana or Mexican "hasheesh" ad-
diets In this city has been so
marked in the last five years that
they now rank with the opium
addicts as one of the chief con-
Germs of the local police, DR.,
Perry M. Lichtenstein. medical
assistant to the district attor-
ney's office and for 19 years ply
sician to the Tombs, said.
Under the influence of the mar
cotic, DR.. Lichtenstein added. the
addicts lose all sense of reason
and are responsible for many Of
the more serious assault cases.
DR.. Lichtenstein based his state
ment on his experience in the
Tomhs, where he had interviewed
hundreds of men who were con-
fined as addicts. or for more Sc
riouS offenses, and on his more
recent experiences in the district
attorneys office. The men, a
large number of whom were be-
tween the ages of 18 and %, he
continued, admitted that they
had either used the Mexican
"hasheesh," and then turned to
stronger opiates, or were still ad-
dicted to it.
The weed may be grown here
sin flower pots or backyards, :"
DR.. LichtenStein said.

THWART FEAR

Fear, the curse of the human
race, is the greatest enemy in
child's development, according to
child psychology.
DR.. Noland D. c. Lewis, direc-
tor of psychology at st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, speaking yester-
day under the auspices of the
Town and Country School at the
home of Mrs. Frank Frost in
the 2600 block of Thirteenth st,
N. W., said there are five types
of children in the average ele.
mentary school. They are:
Children who live apart and
find little interest in things
about them, those who are shy,
requiring special care, children
with neurotic tendencies, the
average child and the ambitious
child with good social adjust
ments."
