bile solid Later chemists have found that
cholesterol is an ingredient of many other
animal substances in addition to bile Thus,
it is found in egg yolk, in nerve tissue, in
brain cells. Its deposition on the eye is
cataract, and its gradual accumulation in the
middle layer of blood vessels is mark of the
disease known as hardening of the arteries.
A man is as old as his arteries - and his
arteries, it seems are as old as the thickness
of their cholesterol deposits
If this be true, we have reason to speculate
whether some alienation of old age may not
lie in this direction. If the surplus cholesterol
can be eliminated, the condition may be
avoided. Dr. Malisoffs researches have inves-
tigated this problem.
Cholesterol does not dissolve in water; and
is not soluble in the watery fluid of the blood.
But DR.. Malisof has found that he can
disperse this insoluble material into fine
particles by mechanical means, and then by
chemical means can cause them to disappear
In these experiments the scientist used gall
stones. He placed them in water. Then he
caused a fine nickel bar to vibrate like tuning
fork, shaking the water into minute sound
waves vibrating 1890 times second The
energy of these oscillations, communicated
through the water to the gall stones, Jared
them into disintegration and within few
minutes the clear water of the beaker was
Clouded with uncounted millions of particles
of the disrupted cholesterol The stuff was not
dissolved, but was held in fine suspension
that gave the solution milky hue
While waiting over period of weeks to see
what the suspension would do. DR.. Malisof
noticed that parts of it were changing in
spotted areas. Investigating, he discovered
the presence of a tiny microscopic fungus.
The fungus seemed to possess the faculty of

chemist - that is, a student of the chemical
processes OF life. He has been concentrating
on the problem of aging first in Philadelphia,
at the University of Pennsylvania, and now in
New York, at the Montefiore Hospital for
Chronic Diseases. He is young, adventurous,
but realistic - one of the new generation of
chemists who see nature as something other
than mechanism that is eternally running
down.
Dr. Malisoff finds in the existing data
no infexible fact to block humanity's per-
severing wish to control the life span He
sees in the statistics no conclusive proof that
the span is fixed. Nor is he convinced that the
processes of life are necessarily reversible,
and run downstream on definite schedule.
The door to longevity is not closed,'' he
insists, "only our knowledge is so little. There
are today in the United States at least five
thousand persons 100 years of age and older.
These centenarians and those of other lands,
and those among animals, are still fit sub
jects for closer study. There are myriads of
problems boldly and with hope''
There is, for example, the clue OF correla-
ton. We ask: Is there some physical charac-
teristic of the body which is invariably asso-
ciated with old age2
Yes, answers Malisoff. As the body grows
old, certain substances known as "lipoids"
accumulate and are deposited in the arteries.
An outstanding correlation between the age
of the body and its physical character is this
deposition of lipoids.
Lipoids are insoluble materials such as
fats and the solid alcohols known as sterols.
Conspicuous among these sterols is white
crystalline material which the early chemists
first extracted from bile. Because of this
origin they named it "cholesterol," meaning
Evening star., 1936-04-05

oxidizing the cholesterol - that is. of break
ing it up chemically and combining it with
oxygen of the air.
All these experiments have been confined
to the glass beaker; it is yet to be demon
strated whether or not the artificial processes
may be transferred to the human body The
experimenter is encouraged to think that
they may A new method of treatment of
diseases is thus suggested as possibility At
least we may say that the results of the tests
with the sound waves. and of later expert
ments made with short electric waves, tend
to increase the hope of easing ailments ag-
gravated by the presence of cholesterol
deposits.
Decidedly more fundamental theoretically,
are the chemical means suggested by the
action of the fungi 1t is DR.. Malisoff belief
- and he has built scientific theory on it -
that the accumulations of cholesterol in the
arteries and elsewhere ale an effect of the
slowing down of the oxidation processes of
the body. Just as the fungi are able to oxidize
the cholesterol in the beaker solution, so, he
thinks, there is afloat in the normal human
body some biological substance or substances
chemically effective in oxidizing the choles-
terol in the blood stream.
These substances are probably of the
general character of "hormones. Dozens of
hormones are known. One of them, for ex-
ample, is insulin. which promotes the utliza-
ton of sugar in the body. Years ago person
unable to assimilate sugar died of diabetes;
but today he takes insulin, providing his body
with the sugar -assmilating hormone it lacks
This example suggests possible line of
treatment for old age, if the substance or SUBJ
stances which promote the oxidation of cho-
lesterol can be found. With the substance
known and identified, it might possibly be
extracted from the bodies of animals and
prepared for human consumption just as
insulin today is extracted from the pancreatic
glands of sheep and other animals Another
possible method would be to find means of
stimulating the body itself to produce the
failing substance in greater abundance.
As result of these findings Malisoffs
latest researches have been directed toward
oxidation experiments. He finds that hydro
gen peroxide - the familiar bleaching chem
ical of the beauty parlor - also has potent
effect on cholesterol. Whether the hydrogen
peroxide itself turns the trick, or whether the
activation is effected by some substances
obtained from the cholesterol by oxidation
with the peroxide or with the air, is not clear.
More searching experiments are under way.
1T may be- explained DR.. Malisof, that

$4,000 persons in the United
y Y States would die of heart disease
during 1896. Perhaps most of us who saw
the prediction dismissed the figures as the
ingenious product of one of those clever
statisticians, and let the item pass.
But suppose some oracle should appear
and point out the victims individually: That
man who thinks his life is just beginning at
forty; that woman in her prime at forty five:
that exuberant golfer at fifty; that grey
beard at sixty and on and on. The statistics
would be made flesh.
What a stir there would be among the
doomed ones and their associates! Possibly
Congress would be petitioned to investigate
this chief destroyer of American lives and
make it's elimination Project No. l.
Certainly heart disease is Public Enemy
No. in the list of destroyers. 1t is also the
Last Enemy for millions who survive disease
ard accident to attain the Biblical allotment
Of three score years and ten" People who
are rated as dying of ''od age" usually are
victims of hardening of the arteries, high
blood pressure and other ailments of the
Medical science has made enormous ad-
vances in the preservation of life, but
these have been confined to warding off
death in the lower years. The toll on infancy
and childhood has been vastly reduced. Thus,
a newborn babe in George Washington's day
could look forward, on the average. to about
thirty-five years of life. The infant of 1896
can count on about sixty years.
But - and here is the crux of OUR predica-
ment - the man of sixty today cannot expect
any more years, on the average, than could
the man of sixty in 1875. People die just as
rapidly of old age in the Twentieth Century
as they did in the Eighteenth.
Indeed, according to some statistics, old
age mortality is more rapid now than it was
then Science, it would seem, is saving an in
creasing number of people from diphtheria,
scarlet fever, typhoid, tuberculosis and other
bacterial affections, only to have them fall
prey to the ravages of age
And the diseases of old age are increasingly
invading middle life. When thousands of men
and women in their forties die of high blood
pressure, we can hardly conclude that the
flight of the years is an inf1exble measure of
aging. If some persons are old at forty and
Others at eighty, may we not assume that
some condition develops in the forty year old
which is delayed for an additional forty years
in the eighty year old? And if this condition
is delayed at the one age, may it not be
possible to delay it at later ages and thereby
lengthen the span of life?
Science has no certain answer to this
question. 1t can only speculate and test its
speculations. The results thus far are frag-
nentary - indeed, we can hardly say more
than that the task is just being approached.
But here and there encouraging clues are
being turned up, and in particular there is an
American research that is an example of the
new attack on this problem.

Special Tags Suggested
For Needless Drivers

To the Editor Of The Star:
For some time the undersigned has had
in mind q way to curb the reckless auto
mobile driver An occurrence on Satur.
day, when a "red-light law breaker" de-
liberately crossed right in front OF me
while crossing the street at the corner OF
Twelfth and G streets northwest at about
five minutes past o'clock IN the morn.
ing. impels me to write Of my plan to
stop drivers of this sort. 1t passed going
at a good rate of speed. and so quick I
had no time to take his license number.
Had I not looked he could easily have
run over me- So here is my idea OF stop
ping these drivers who do not care Tor
life or limb, and the quicker something Is
done the safer the people will be.
Here is my way Of placing those that
are fined for traffic ofenSes. A large
No. 1, meaning the first of1ense; No.
2. 3. etc. When he is fined the nrst
time his regular license tag Is Withdrawn
and this new license tag Is given and
must be placed on the automobile by the
Police Department. This tag should have
a different color for each arrest. The
number should be in the center Of this
tag so it will stand out. Each newspaper
in the city should be given . sample OF
the tags and the traffic director should
issue this new order in plenty of time
after the rule is made and the tags are
ready for distribution. Make the first f1ne
so much for the tag, and raise 1t with
each arrest.
Also, there should be light for the
pedestrian. Los Angeles has had them
for years, and those who walk must obey
the traffic laws or they are arrested the
same as the drivers. FELIX A. URY.
