D. c. JUDGES HEED
CRITICISM
Express Doubt, However,
Whether JaiIS Can Solve
Drunkenness.

Although expressing general agree
ment with criticisms made yesterday
by q visiting English jurist regard
ing the number Of drunkenness cases
and the "disgraceful conditions" ex-
isting in the Police Court here the
four presiding judges of the court
today declared they are doubtful
whether jail sentences for habitual
drunkards constitute the real solu-
ton to the situation.
The criticisms were made by Justice
George Blaiklock OF the Recorder
Court. Grantham, England, who
visited the local court for the third
time in 10 years yesterday and "de-
clared he found no improvement in
conditions" His criticism regarding
the conduct Of attorneys in the court
was held justifiable by Judge WAL
ter J. Casey, most recent appointee
to the Police Court bench.
The Judges agree there are more
intoxication cases than should pre-
vail under normal conditions, but no
definite plan has been worked out
as yet for q substantial reduction,
they said. Some believe jail sentences
do no more than keep the habitual
drunk of the street during the time
he Is locked up.
All of the judges were in hearty
agreement that conditions in Police
Court are q disgrace" to the Capital
City. but see no way Of overcoming
these without q new building.
Judge Casey said there undoubtedly
should be an improvement in the
manner IN which lawyers try cases.

The request was made when 1t was

And IT. order TO preach against the devil It is frst
necessary TO define and describe him. The Rev MI

satan those which went the best painted the most
graphic picture They included the horns and the
tail They admitted the destinations and. possibly,
even the charm Of the tempter. If old Nick is no

1t takes man about year to realize that he

on the contrary each reCluse gazed upon the mirage
Of Cleopatra or fair Helen who set all Troy ablaze
But though she launched thousand ships the good

That was their martyrdOm and their triumph
So let il be in the case of Cadiz. If the parish

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ.

TINE chemistry of the hormones those hgnly
i active substances whose secretion IN minute
amounts by the ductless glands CT the pooy plays SO
active part in the scheme OF lie, constitutes one
of the most important problems facing the sclentsS
today - !. A.. .a
some known certainly to exist, others only vaguely
sensed chemists have succeeded in making only Two
hv synthetic or laboratory methods -Four more have
been isolated in crystalline form but OF tneSe Iou
scientists understand clearly only the chemical
structure of two of them.
Science therefore, has exact chemical knowledge
Of only four hormones and as DR.. Vincent Du
Vigneaud professor of biochenistry at the George
Washington University Medical School says the
field of the chemistry OF the hormones Is III reality
quite in its infancy
DR.. Du Vigneaud takes the position that hor-
none NAV not be said to be completely understood
until it has been put together by synthetic means IN
the laboratory
TIME two hormones which biochemists have
J. ceeded in synthesizing are epinephrine and thy
roxine. Their synthesis, DR.. Du Vgneaud says
represents the high point of the application OF or
ganic chemistry to the endocrnes. The oeautl1uI
work that led to their isolation their proof Of struc
ture and their synthesis serves as stimulus Tor tne
attack on the other hormones."
+ Epinephrine is the veteran Of known hormones
and its story takes us back to the end Of the nine
tenth century In 1894 Oliver and Scaefer, demon
strated that the adrenal gland contained blood
pressure raising principle" Abel succeeded IN $50
lating a derivative of the hormone responsible Ior
this action in 1901 and shortly thereafter it was OBJ
tanned in crystalline form by Takamine Within the
next few years. number of workers contributed TO
the solution of its chemical formula.
Subsequent study with the synthetic varieties
showed that the left-handed form was IA times as
active as the rght-handed form. This serves to en-
phasze the fact that it is necessary to know the
molecular structure of a ho-Inone as well as to
know the atoms which go into its molecule.
TINE conquest of thyroXine was much slower
i affair as DR.. Du Vigneaud points out. Kendall
succeeded in isolating thyroxine in 1914 This was
10 years after quite potent fraction Of the tyroid
had been obtained.
Twelve years more elapsed before Harrington and
Barger demonstrated the structure Of thyroxine but
the two research workers achieved its synthesis in
surprisingly short time thereafter.
Thyroxne consists of two benzene rings held to-
gether by an oxygen atom Attached TO one ring IS
a hydroxyl group and two atoms of iodine Attached
to the other are two iodine atoms also and COM
plcated chain containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen
AS in the case of epinephrine, thyroXne was
found to exist in two optical forms. The syntneuc
form was mixture of both whereas the one Wnlcn
occurs in the body is the left-handed form.
