STREET DESCRIBES
/. COMMUNITY CHEST
Gives Illustrated Lecture at
Meeting of North Cap
itoI Citizens.

Elwood Street, director Of the Com
munity Chest, gave an illustrated talk
on the work of Washington's various
charitable organizations afi1liated with
the Chest at the meeting Of the North
Capitol Citizens Association last night
in the Mckinley High School Building.
Mr.. Street outlined briefly the work
of q number Of the organizations
Lantern slides illustrated the type of
work carried on by each charity. He
told of the needs of the Chest and said
that, as private sources of funds have
been exhausted. the members Of his
organization will have to depend upon
Government appropriations to supply
the needs Of charity after August /.
A letter from Newbold Noyes, chair
man OF the Community Chest campaign
containing a statement Of the organiza-
tion's serious financial condition, was
read. Mr.. Noyes' letter told Of the need
of the Chest for more funds and like
wise stated that there was enough to
carry on until August /. It asked the

duce new substances when combined
with other chemicals.
Metaxenia, . hitherto unknown bio
logical phenomenon, was reported to
the academy by DR.. Walter T. Swingle
OF the Department Of Agriculture. Ex-
perimenting with date palms, DR..
Swingle found that when q blossom
was pollenized with pollen from q Diff
ferent species the resulting date was
very different in size and form from
that which would come from q blossom
pollenized from the same species. The
same has been found true with apples,
peaches and cotton. There are also
striking effects on the time Of ripening.
The effect is due, DR.. Swingle believes.
TO some substance similar to an animal
hormone which Is stored in the seed
and varies according to the cross In
some way 1t is able to permeate from
the seed, or embryonic plant, and affect
the fruit which is formed from the
cells Of the mother tree. Thus an ap-
parent hereditary effect is produced i'm
mediately, without waiting for the next
generation.
The current medical concept Of acid
oSiS, believed to be the basis of MANY
human ailments, was dealt q hard blow
by DR.. Yandell Henderson, professor Of
physiology at Yale. 1t has been sup
posed that this condition arises from
an excessive formation Of acids in the
body, causing q decrease in the aka
Unity Of the blood. The acid chiefly
concerned is Tactic acid, which Is
formed in the process Of metabolism.
Prof. Henderson and his associate, DR..
Leon A. Greenberg, first gave some ex-
per1mental animals q small dose of q
drug known as monoiodoacetic acid,
which prevents the formation Of Tactic
acid. They found that when they re-
duced the oxygen supply Of such an
animal 1t showed all the physiological
symptoms Of high acidity, but without
the formation of any increased amount
Of Tactic acid.
That the state known as "acidosis" is
not due to intoxication by the excessive
formation Of acid in the body, DIR.
Henderson said. is also shown by the
fact that administration of alkalies to
patients with such an acid disease as
diabetes has no good effect and gen.
orally has been abandoned by physicians.
A prehistoric Mississippi flood markedly
altered the map of the central United
States, 1t was reported by DR.. F. E.
Matthes OF the Geological Survey. As
q result Of this food he said. the Mis-
siSsippi and Ohio Rivers come together
200 miles north of their original point
Of confluence and the entire drainage
system Of 1900 square miles was
changed. This food, he said, came late
In the last ice age.
An important contribution to the
chemistry of cancer growth was re-
ported by Dr. Carl Voegtlin of the Ma
tional Institute Of Health. He found
that malignant growths have special
capacity for Transforming injected
sugars into Tactic acid. thus increasing
the acidity Of the system.
The most recent results obtained by
the magneto-optical method of analysis
were reported by Prof. Fred Allison Of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. BY
this extremely complicated and delicate
device, he said, it has been possible to
detect substances which occur IN the
ratio Of only q few parts in 10 thrillion.

communicate with the Commissioners
about securing additional funds to con-
tinue the valuable relief and other
works of the Chest.
The association Endorsed the idea
proposed by the District Commissioners
for home improvement and work Gre
alton month from May / to 26, and
pledged its fullest cooperation. At the
suggestion Of Henry Gilligan the group
decided to send circulars to the home

whatever work about the homes that is
needed.
A resolution proposed to the associa-
tion by the city fire-f1ghters' association
recommending that vacancies among the
officers Of the Fire Department be filled
by members in the department instead
OF outsiders was also approved.
A letter which the association will
send to various organizations about the
city and to officials urging appointment
of Henry Gilligan, a member of the
School Board, as District Commissioner
was read and indorsed by the members.
The letter praised Mr.. Gilligan and told
Of his fitness to fill the position desired

Dairy farmers of the Philadel-

farmers seeking revision of the
Philadelphia milk marketing
agreement. H. D. Allebach, pres

dress that overproduction is the
farmers real cause of distress.

less the basic problem of over
production is recognized" he de-
clared. Wilbur K. Moffet, chair
man of the milk code protest COM
mittee, promptly replied that
there actually is no surplus of
milk and never has been any in
the Philadelphia milk she'd" The
Interstate has approved the new
milk code which the federal gov
ernment authorized several weeks
ago but the storm of protest it
aroused led the government to
schedule a rehearing of the agree
ment, postponed to next Monday.
For the last three years Allebach
and the dealers have been telling
the farmers that we must be sat

there is a surplus Of milk" Will

annual state poultry tour will be
held this year during the first

pices of the Delaware State Poul-
try Association in cooperation

University of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture Ac-
cording to present arrangements
the tour will start at the poultry
farm at the Delaware Experiment
Station where the poultrymen will
show the results of nutrition ex-
periments which have been car
ried on for a period of years on
a flock of layers. After leaving
the University of Delaware farm
the tour will proceed to the Con-

FORESTRY CAMP AID RELIEF
Boys Enjoy Camp Life and Are
Giving Aid TO Their Families

More than eight thousand dol
lars each month has been saved
for the State Temporary Emerg-
ency Relief Commission through
money earned by the Delaware re-
cruits to the Civilian Conservation
Corps and which they have re-
turned to their families in this
state. This enabled the State
Commission to reduce that
amount of direct relief which it
had been paying to the families of
these recruits and which they had
agreed to return the major por-
tion of their pay to their families
when they enlisted. All of them
had been on state relief. This
fact became known when a report
of the money saved was reported
to the State Commission at its
meeting in Wilmington last Fri
day, September 8. There are 453
Delaware boys serving in the for
estry camps throughout the Unit
ed States. OF this number 80 are
from rural New Castle county:
294 from Wilmington; SO from
Kent county and 65 from Sussex
county. OF these "a in rural New
Castle, 290 in Wilmington, 90 in
Kent and 65 in Sussex county
made some return to aid the folks
at home. The dependents who
were aided totalled ITO in rural
New Castle; 1912 in Wilmington;
268 in Kent and 375 in Sussex.
There were however, 125 families
and 766 dependents who were not
taken from direct relief rolls, be-
cause the amount sent home was
not sufficient to meet the needs.
The total for the state which was
returned by these forestry re-
cruits was S8,2s5.52, divided as

Poultryman of the University of
Delaware, Newark, not later than
September 25 in order that hotel
accommodations may be reserved.
The date and definite itinerary of

been completed.
