New Yitamin Lore.
New York Times.)

In January, 1882, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins,
pioneer investigator of vitamns remarked OF the
one that bears the letter &C" that an ounce OF IL
would protect 5000 human beings from contracting
scurvy for whole year. Although he regretted
the fact that Ito obtain that quantity with our
present powers would probably require some millions
of oranges or lemons" he did not despair BE
assured" he added "the day is not SO far distant
when the organic chemist will make it as well as
other vtamins scientifically" Now Professor Scent
Gyorgyi annonces that vitamin c, the most elusive
of ALL the one which seemed to defy all attempts
at isolation and identification, be bought for
few pennies, neatly sealed in tubes, in the form
of beautiful white crystals
1t has taken exactly two centuries to reach this
point. Two years ago chemists talked of "hexuronic
acid" Now it is "ascorbic acid" But whether
vitamin and this ascorbic acid are identical is
still moot question-so highly complicated is the
structure of the molecules involved. Yet such is the
insight of the modern chemist and such his skill
that he divine what the floor plan of the acid
probably is, make blueprint of it and thus build
up something like it synthetcally.
But having tedously wrested from cabbages
lemons and paprka the secret of their iscorbutic
properties the mystery of nature again overawes
Why is it that scarcely VEGETABLE amounts of
the vitamins should be essential to the main
tenance of bodily health? And why should there
be such a chemical similarity between vitamns
which grow in plants outside the body, and horn
Ones which the body itself manufactures? The more
understand the chemistry of hormones and
vitamins the more we understand life. And yet
how much remains to be done. The chemist has
still to tell just how the vtamins arise in each
living cell and the changes that they continuously
undergo, without apparently affecting the body as
whole 1t is clear that when these problems are
solved chapter in science will have to be
written, a chapter which will deal with dramatic
chemical happenings that cannot be seen but that
can be Intellectually visuazed. Hormones and vita
mins-know these and shall know the reason
for all the anatomical changes that occur within
from infancy to old age, know the mechanism
of the evolutionary process itself

LIBERTY UNDER THE NEW DEAL.

Postmaster General James A. Farley stimulated
as well as voiced the thoughts of many last Friday
night when, in his Chicago speech, referring to the
FEAR Republican leaders attempting to generate
nationally namely that the New Deal is a threat
to American Liberty. when he told his audience
that though the Republicans are now calling for
Liberty, when their party in power the average
man had SO little liberty he had to violate the law
to get glass of good beer"
Ever since Chairman Henry p Fletcher of the
Republican National Committee, laid down his gen.
eral and unspecific lines of attack at the Jackson
meeting in July, saying that he favored, our exist
ing system of individual rights and liberties" and
condemned the Roosevelt Administration for "regi-
mentation" the faithful in the G. o. P ranks from
Herbert Hoover to the precincts have taken it up
as battle cry. In addition to Mr.. Farley's pithy
observation many another has pointed to the vulner
ability of the attack, including Henry Goddard
Leach, Editor of the Forum Magazine, who in
recent radio speech assailing the newy-formed
American Liberty League said:
THE American citizen is losing the noble liberty
of starving to DEATH to go unclothed to be with
out roof his head in the land of his fathers;
he has lost the liberty of selling worthless stocks
and foreign bonds to fellow citizens; he has lost the
liberty of exploiting little children by employing
them in sweat-shops at starvation wages, and the
liberty of being permitted to receive excessive bon
of the stockholders. If these are the liberties
which We have sacrificed the altar of the New
Deal T. for one" he added Make my humble
Offering"
The question of individual liberty has ever
been highly debatable.
Corporate interests which object to regulation
at home intolerable form of paternasm, ask
when they expand into foreign countries that the
Government protect them like children.
The word liberty" used today may the
open shop if employer is speaking a closed
shop if labor leader is speaking. There is no
consistent, common, mutually accepted definition of
liberty.
However, to the great bulk of the American
people the New Deal has meant new conception
OF liberty for their betterment hope re-vtalized
ambition. the courage to face and oppor-
tunities for progress and when the national vote
is registered it will show the Alaska vote showed
that the people not accepting the reactionaryS
Interpretation of Liberty and that they overwhem-
ingly believe that the New Deal is NOT a threat to
American Liberty.

THE DELEGATES HOMECOMING.

well, so long Tony remember what I told you
and let me hear from you when you get back there"
Hello, how long you going to be here, want to have
talk with you before you get away"
Such goodbyes and greetings multiplied, were
accorded Delegate Anthony ]. Dimond as he was
assembling his baggage the dock Saturday shortly
after the arrival here Of the Aeutian, winding up
four weeks trip that took him to many parts of the
Territory he represents in Congress.
Such greetings and goodbyes we believe were
accorded the Delegate throughout the parts of the
Territory he visited because he is that kind of an
Alaskan and in the time between such wholehearted
informal welcomes and the farewels Delegate
Dimond has listened to the people of Alaska, has
heard about and seen the accomplishments of his
and the Administrators work and interest in
Alaska. Further and more important he has &C
cumulated new, first-hand, detailed knowledge of
Alaskas needs; through these friendly sincere talks
with the prospectors miners fishermen, businessmen
and Others he has not only gained in information
but in strength perspective conviction, all contribut
ing to the effectiveness and stamina of his service
In the coming session of Congress.
Unopposed for his office he came not to cam
paign but learn more to how best he can serve.
Alaska appreciates his coming and is confident that

The Song of the Sword.
New York Times.)

Herr Banse, the first Professor of Military
Science in German university is more lyrical
successor of Bernhard. His ideas are more gran
diose. If they were not they wouldn't be worthy
of the supreme monocracy of Der Fuehrer A
couple of his books had to be withdrawn from cir
cuation from prudential motives but their appear
ance may be as significant the great mass of
German books and pamphlets that slept mostly
unnoticed abroad before the great war Some
curious passages from Banses invocation to Bellona
have been printed in London by the Friends of
Europe"
Strong empires, says the Herr Professor "arise
only out of the song of the sword" He sees the
Third Reich arising from Flanders to the Raab
from Memeland to the Adige and the Rhone" He
urges the study of geography and of every science
that will enlarge the capacity of Germany for war
All these intermixed sciences are but anterooms
to new national to military, science" He isn't
a good neighbor. To beat the French in the next
war Germany must take occasion or have permission
ito march through Belgium and Holland in the
north and Switzerland in the south" He plans
the invasion and occupation of Southeast England
Such movement should be supported "by an at
tack from Ireland the west of Central England
Scotland and North Ireland also to be victims
OF military science. Denmark must form an often
sive and defensive alliance with Germany to give
the latter control of the North Sea and the Baltic
Without German influence there can be mo hope
of a rebrth" of the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian
States. The only way to settle the Polish question
Is to return to the eigheenth-century method divide
Poland and SO end Polish restiveness and ambition
Herr Banse counts 920oo0O0 Germans in Central
Europe the territory of the real German Empire
Military science lis concerned primarily with the
whole people and seeks to build up an heroic
spiritual attitude toward war, create understand

Well. Herr Hitler has brought about the semblance
of unity among the All-Aryan German tribes and
created the heroic spiritual attitude-for peace of
course, until military and financial preparedness
is equal to spiritual.

SILVER GROUP
CALLS PARLEY

Leaders Of the "silver bloc"
in the Senate called a meeting
today to discuss legislation to
promote silver prices that will
be acceptable to the President.
The meeting was called by
Senator Thomas (D.) of Okla
homa, and many Of the Senators
who attended last weeks White
House conference were invited.
At this conference Mr.. Roose-
velt announced his opposition to
the revised Dies bill now pending
in the Senate. AS it passed the
House, the measure would au-
thorize the acceptance of foreign
silver in payment for American
exports at a rate of IS per cent
above the prevailing world silver
price, but the Senate Agriculture
Committee rewrote it into a man
datory initiation measure.
It was amended to empower
the Government to nationalize
the white metal, as it has gold.
and continue to buy it until its
price was hiked to $1.29 an
ounce, or until commodity prices
climbed back to the 1925 level.

Murton Millen, charged with mur-

his arrest, today caused the col
lapse of Norma Brighton Millen,
19-year-old high school beauty

Few Words Spoken
During the meeting with her
husband in the rotunda Of the
Jail, which lasted an hour and a
half, Norma at no time displayed
even lukewarm affection. She is
charged with being an accessory
after the fact in the robbery and
murder, and realization Of her
own precarious situation appeared
to have stifled her romance. She
walled:
Look ut the spot I'm in"
There were long stretches Of
silence between them. At one
point, neither spoke for is min

When Murton suggested she try
to arrange for another meeting
with him next Sunday, she did not
reply.
Murton was the one who had
sought and procured from the
court the long-delayed meeting
with his bride.
And when Murton said good

The attitude of Norma toward
her desperate husband confirmed
the story Of a breakdown in their

Committee BIunders
The banking committee wished
to bring out a bill to defeat the
petition, but in a series of com
ical blunders reported out sue
cessively four bills. The first was
recalled Immediately and its
number changed, but was reintro.
duced under a number still in
correct. A third bill was reported,
but was carried under the wrong
n um ber in the Congressional
Record.
Last Friday Representative
Steagall decided that the meet
ing which reported out the bill
was illegal under the rules Of the
House, so Saturday the commit
tee met to report out another
bill. They did so, but because
the House adjourned early were
unable to file the report with the
clerk.
In its present form the bill
authorizes the RFC to pay off

cent for accounts up to $2,5OO
and loan IS per cent Of the value
