A new form of iodine-two or three
times more potent as a germ killer
than the familiar brown tincture Of
the home medicine chest with which
children's cuts are treated while they
scream with pain and at the same time
non-irritating and non-poisonous-
was announced before pharmacists at
tending the association meetings to-
day by DR.. Paul Goodrich of Rutgers
University.
The germ-killing element is COM
bined chemically with the salts Of two
acids occurring normally in the bile Of
the human or animal body. The
combination then can be dissolved In
water or alcohol without being broken
up.
When this liquid is applied to q
wound the iodine itself is given off
very slowly and combines more slowly
with the blood or serum, so that its
killing effect on germs is more lasting.
It shows itself three times more potent
than the ordinary tincture in killing
the common staphococcus bacteria.
It is especially effective against the
spore-bearing organisms which cause
the dreaded diseases of lock-jaw and
anthrax when they get into a wound.
Accidents in which persons swallow
tincture of iodine by mistake when
they pick the wrong bottle of the
medicine table in the dark are COM
mon., They are frequently fatal and
all iodine bottles are marked by the
druggist by the familiar skull and
crossbones indicating q deadly poison.
The new preparation Is relatively
safe and one hardly could swallow
enough Of it to cause trouble without
deliberate intent to commit suicide.
Experiments with rabbits showed that
they could take as much as two cubic
centimeters per pound Of body weight,
given them by stomach tube, with
out suffering any i'll effects.

same way as fire insurance is written
on their homes and barns.
Expenditures of the corporation
would be limited to SIC, 900, 900 in any
one year.
The proposed corporation would in

seen natural hazards, including wealth.

Of the insurance would be entirely
optional. Senator Pope said.
Premiums would be determined by
average losses and general growing
conditions in the sector In which the
insured farm is located.

On the other hand, certain secretions
are believed to be responsible for the
dogs love of its master in the first
place. This is only evidenced fully
after the animal has become mature.
A puppy is equally attracted by any
friendly person.
Experimentally, he said, the most

Blood Secretions' Effect.

Love of a mother dog for her pup
pies and fidelity to her master are
obliterated by slight variations Of
minute quantities of secretions in her
blood, it was reported by DR.. Charles
r. Stockard of Cornell University.
The popularity of physiognomy and
body build in the bulldog, he said. is
we'll known to result from pecularities
In the output of the thyroid and
pituitary glands. When these are car
ried little further, he found, she will
often eat her own babies. An ab-
normality in pituitary gland secretion
9 responsible for the very large breeds
OF dogs. When this is carried a little
further the instructive maternal reac-
tions disappear. The mother ignores
her babies. She has to be taught to
lick and clean them, which most dogs
do instinctively.
Such q mother. said DR.. Stockard,
"when lying down with her litter fails
TO show the push reflex which is nee
essary in order 20 avoid crushing the
puppies. The normal mother carefully
Aides her body down in the direction
OF the puppies, so as to avoid MASKING
them. Such dogs also fail to develop
Q reflex for limp nexion Of the wrist
and ankle, which serves to push the
pups aside as the mother descends to
the floor. These two deficiencies some-
times result in the crushing Of the
entire litter within two days"

His name isn't in the box scores

que. He knows the weakness and
ltrength of every hitter in the
circuit.
Before he entered organized
baseball, Berry played football at
Lafayette College. He was named
end on Walter Camps All-Amer-
lea team in 1926. Later he coached
football at Grove City, turning out
some of the best teams in that
schools history. His experience in
coaching college youths has helped
him considerably in handling the
raw young rockies he has to work
with on the AS staff. He works
patiently with pitchers that many
managers would hustle off to the
minors after one look at them.
And Charlie can be tough if the
situation calls for toughneSs. He
put Babe Ruth in the hospital
once when the Babe came charg-
ing into him at the plate in close
play during his catching days. The
225-pound Ruth tried to knock
Berry off home plate, but Charlie
just gave him his shoulder and the
Babe bounced off and straight
with went to the hospital. The
rest of the boys around the league
gave Berry all the room he want
ed at the plate after that.
Berry is only one of the men
with major league clubs who re-
main unsung. They do the hard
work in the bull pen, with the
pitchers. Many promising young
pitcher has been spoiled or his
career retarded because he didn't
get the proper coaching. Others
who have done good jobs are
Muddy Ruel, White Sox, Johnny
Gooch, Pirates, Wally Schang, In
dians and Cy Perkins, Tigers. They
were all catchers in their day and
