Spectrum Analysis
Of Vitamin E

Scientists at the Dunn Nutri.
tional Laboratory Of the University
of Cambridge have discovered that
the fertility vitamin E will absorb
light in a distant and characteristic
fashion, thus making possible its
positive Identification. The discU-
cry was made with the aid of a
spectrum analysis.
The latter is the method in which
light is passed through either a
prism Of glass or ruled metallic
grating, so that its origin colors are
separated out into a rainbow-like
image of the original slit. Every
substance, it has been found. has its
spectrum lines at particular posi-
tions Thus elements like iron or
oxygen can be identified with GER
tainty through their spectrum lines.
The British scientists dissolved
vitamin E prepared from wheat
germ seeds in alcohol and shone
light through it, At wave length
in the invisible ultraviolet region
near the actinic rays which produce
sunburn, characteristic absorption
took place The wave length which
produced this absorption, also had
a biological effect when given to
animals This was the key test in
the positive identificatio referred
to above.

DR.. Milton c. Forster. of Yale
University, reported that the CHM
panzee responds as quickly to a sig
nal as child and almost as quickly
as the human adult. The problem
was to release a telegraph KEY as
soon as possible after seeing a light
flash on. In the second problem. a
buzzer was substituted for the light.
In both ways the animal was a close
rival for speed to the human being.
Another report was made by DR..
Theodore A. Jackson of Yale, on the
cleverness Of chimpanzees in the use
Of tools to obtain food placed out Of
their reach. These animals can use
an ordinary stick to pull food
towards them from outside their
cage. They can also assemble a
three piece instrument from the
separate parts to be used for the
same purpose. Some were also able
to learn how to push an orange
around in blind alley maze, find
the single exit and roll the orange
out to within reach.

A Dull Day in Brooklyn
BY HARRY KERMIT

CUNDAY, Sept. 16, was a dull day
y in Brooklyn. There we're no
bank hold-ups. no three alarm
fires, no kidnappings and no steam
ship disasters. In the next days
metropolitan newspapers you looked
in vain for police news from Brook
Ign. But for the sake of the rec
ord here is a chronological account
of some of the things which hap
pened in Brooklyn on Sunday.
At 2;30 am. a 15-year-old girl
tried to end her life by drinking
iodine in her tenement home on
w. 29th st. in Coney Island. The
police report listed the suicide at
tempt as due to unsatisfactory
home conditions.
Five hours later, at tbs am. a
destitute and shell-shocked war
veteran, James J. Fitzgerald. 80,
leaped to his death from his fourth
floor furnished room at 148 Sixth
Ave. Papers found in a trunk in
his room disclosed he lived alone,
had no family and was penniless.
The city morgue claimed him.
The morgue claimed two more
victims in the next six hours. A
patrolman on beat at II o'clock
found the body of an unknown
white man floating at the foot of
Division Ave, the East River. The
other body was fished out of the
waters at the foot of Bovine ST.,
Atlantic Basin, shortly before l
pm. The body was that of a 35-
year-old Chinese, clean-shaven and
neatly dressed.

Cribbing and
Personality

Having nothing else to do. DR..
Donald w. MacKinnon, Of Bryn
Mawr decided TO make a psyche
logical study Of the way in which his
students cribbed during examina-
tions. He left the students alone
with book of answers temptingly
near on the deck. Meanwhile he had
stationed himself behind a one-way
vision screen where he was able TO
observe those who cribbed and these
who left the answers alone. Dr..
MacKinnon made the following
startling discoveries: IS per cent Of
the students to his horror turned
out to be cribbers. These villains
swore, pounded on the table,
stamped their feet and even kicked
the table leg. When questioned
about it later these Scoundrels adj
mitted having no feelings Of guilt.
On the other hand, the Sc per cent
who were noble and did not crib
showed more repressed signs Of ner-
vcusness. They bit their nails,
pulled their own hair. fidgeted
most uneasily, crossed their legs
nervously, hunched their shoulders
and looked worried. The professor
is now looking for an explanation as
to why the cribhers have the more
aggressive personality.

Radio Therapy

Two young Frenchmen, Drs. A.
Halphen and j. Auclaire, recently
demonstrated to the American Con-
gress Of Physical Therapy the use
of radio apparatus to transmit heat
in the treatment of certain diseases.
Electrodes are placed under the pa
tents bed; at a distance, sometimes
in an adjoining room, is the gen.
orator.
The French scientists explained
that this method avoided the use of
any wires or cable. If an artificial
fever is needed, the temperature can
be raised to the desired level by
means Of the radio waves. In GER
tain cases of paresis which respond
to heat treatments, the patient S
temperature was raised to 104 or los
degrees and kept at this level for
100 hours. A single treatment eff
fected a cure although ordinarily
this disease takes at least six weeks
to cure.
An American short-Wave ap-
paratus was also demonstrated. 1t
differs from the Frenchmens device
in that the electrodes are applied
directly to the patient. 1t can be
used for electro-surgery. electro
coagulation, and the induction of
artificial fever.

0UICIDES, however, did not mo-
y nopolize the police blotter. At
8 o'clock girl employed as a
housemaid reported to the Crime
Prevention Bureau that her sister,
Helen Plosky. 16, had been missing
for the past three weeks. Both
girls and a third sister all worked
as maids in New York City. Their
home town was mining commu-
nifty near Uniontown, Pa. At the
time of her disappearance Helen
worked in Bronx home.
Minor hold-ups we're reported
during the day. In the early hours
two taverns were held-up and
robbed. A tailor had $50 snatched
from his cash register on Utica
Ave. An armed bandit held up 2
dairy store owner on Prospect Park
West and rified $40 from the regis
ter.
The newspapers dismissed these
happenings as routine and lacking
in news value. Routine they were
and lacking in news value in a So
ciety which accepts plenty for the
few and privation for the many as
normal But the stories behind
these individual happenings have

Animal Psychology

The scientific study of intelligence
and personality owes great deal to
animal psychology. The latter field
supplied many Of the facts which
were used by scientists to lay the
foundations for a materialistic in
depreciation of the learning process
and the quirkS and kinks of the
human mind.
At the meeting of the American
Psychological Association evidence
was presented of the chimpanzee's
cleverness in solving problems. Mr..
Kenneth Spence of Yale University
claimed that a chimpanzee in try
ing to solve a problem goes to work
in systematic manner. He doesn't

the missionaries showing their re
sentiment to the relief standards.
For obvious reasons, the names of
the workers cannot be disclosed.
However, case numbers and names
given by all the workers testify to
the unquestionable accuracy Of the
survey.
