more mysterious residue. Superficially
the hair from which everything has
been boiled out looks as If no change

it is extremely brittle. With repeated

tent, but is absolutely undig estible
with stomach juices.
In his report to the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences, DR.. Andrews told
Of preparing in the laboratory various
derivatives Of cyStein, which were fed
to rats kept on a strictly non-cystein
diet and hence incapable of normal
growth. He was trying to find just
what it is that acts as the body growth
principle. Most of the derivatives
showed no groWth-promoting poten-
tlality and none was able to duplicate
the activity of the original cystein.
Explores Sulphur's Role.
DR.. Andrews experiments tie in
with chemical investigations now 60
ing on all over the world to get at
the real role of sulphur in body me-
tabolism. Some have maintained that
sulphur disbalance plays a part in
the production of cancer, which is
an abnormal growth phenomenon
National Institute of Health expert
ments have shown that rat cancers
disappeared when the animals were
completely deprived of cystein and
methionine-the animals, of course

division processes could not take
place. Sulphur metabolism disturb
ances have also been accused of q
major part in causing arthritis and
also to be major factor in some
kinds of badness.
The work at the North Carolina
laboratories, DR.. Andrews stressed, Is
on the fundamental chemistry of the
sulphur containing >proteins and their
derived amino acids rather than their
possible applications to any specific
medical problems.
A newly-found plant" which may
constitute an hitherto unknown type
OF life on earth was described to the
academy today by DR.. F. c. Coker Of
the University of North Carolina.
1t is a mould-like organism found
in few small brooks receiving seep-
age from a burning saw dust pile.
Specifically it seems like a water
mold. a group Of fungi upon which
DR.. Coker is the worlds foremost
authority. Fungi differ from plants
in that they have no chlorophyll in
their structure-the green coloring
matter by means of which plants are
able to build up carbohydrates which
constitute their body structure and
make them available as food for ami
mails. They must always live as para
sites, sapping the carbohydrates made
by other organisms
Might Be Link of Two.
On the other hand, there are clear
indications that the organism is an
alga, a true plant with chlorophyll
from which, most botanists believe,
the fungi are degenerated descend
ants. 1t seems to constitute a sort
Evening star., 1938-10-27

Of halfway type between two major
divisions Of vegetable life.
It does not reproduce by spores as
do the fungi, by seeds as do the
higher plants. or by cell splitting as
do the lower organisms but by Slip
ping" itself. The tips of its branches
fall OH very easily. The end of each
tip is covered with q sticky material
so that it attaches itself to what
ever it hits. Hitherto the plant has
been growing in the direction of the
tip. Now growth starts in the re-
verse direction, reversal of direction
hitherto almost unknown in nature.
To add to the mystery, the walls
OF the plants are not made of cellu-
lose, the ordinary constituent of the
wall cells Of plants. Altogether, it is
one OF the queerest things that has
come to light in biology in recent
years.

Rail Rates I'm.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has taken the proper course in reversing
its action Of two months ago and grant,
ing the application of Eastern railroads
to raise coach fares from two to two
and one-half cents a mile.
This level is not unreasonable. and
the condition Of the carriers justifies the
commission in seeking to afford some
measure of relief.
Applying to interstate traffic east of
the Mississippi River-except in the
Southern district, where the level is two
cents-the new charges, to be effective
for trial period of eighteen months.
are estimated by the railroads to net
about $3O,000,000 annually. COMPARED
to their larger needs, this is only a drop
in the bucket, but conditions have
reached the stage where no sum is too
small to be overlooked.
Time alone will tell If the figures Of
the roads are to be realized, or If the
boost will prove unwise by causing
further diversion Of business.
As Commissioner Claude r. Porter
long low-fare advocate, pointed out in
the lone dissent in the present case,
25,ooo,ooo private automobiles, 1900
buses and booming air travel give the
railroads cause for thought.

Naval Hospital Site.

A two-hundred- acre site on the Rock
vile road near Bethesda has received
tentative approval from President Roose-
welt as q desirable location for the new
Naval Hospital. Public opinion may be
expected to indorse the choice-for many
obvious reasons.
The place has the natural advantage
Of being convenient to Washington, near
to the administrative offices of the Navy
Department and not too far from the
White House and the assembly halls of
Congress. It's relation to Headquarters"
may be compared with that Of the Walter
Reed and Mount Alto Hospital centers

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

and yet want to strike the left-behinds
cold on their return, by the amount Of
tanned skin they can show. will do well
to realize tnat the preliminary burning
is not only not necessary, If the job is
undertaken in q sensible way, but that
the actual amount of real tan acquired
is greater II there Is no appreciable
amount Of preliminary burn.
1t must be remembered that a burn
is burn, however acquired, and that
1t only has relation to the desired tan
through an accidental relationship, not
an essential one.
1t is possible for any one, keeping in
mind his own skin before all, to tan
nicely without undergoing any intensive
amount of burning.
Severe burning through the suns
rays results in inflammation, followed by
the we'll known peeling.
1t Is only after these two stages have
been gone through with that the would
be tanned person begins to acquire a
tan, whereas If both the burning and
peeling are avoided, the tan begins the
very first moment one steps into the
sunshine.
1t must be admitted that it is not easy
to gauge just the right amount of ex-
posure for this best effect.
It can be achieved, however, by the
use OF common sense, that most in
valuable ingredient in every process.
1t does not come in bottles, however.
1t must be applied by the mind to the
skin, a sure-fire mastery of mind over
matter.
To @l,aA
redneSS In Sunburn does not begin to
show itself for several hours. This
ranges from three to five hours, depend
ing upon the individual skin.
Let us say that a person goes onto
the beach at 10 am. and remains there
until noon. One hour Of exposure will
produce pleasant pink skin, but not
at ii O'Clock. Two hours of exposure
may bring a slight reddening, but not
at noon. Most often. in either case, the
real effects will not be shown until late
In the afternoon, around or o'clock
BY that time, the person who stayed
Tor two hours, when he should have
oathed but one hour, will find it too
late to do much about his burning skin
except to assuage its hurt with soothing
creams.
1t is common experience with Office
workers that, after returning from vaca-
ton with dearly and painfully pur-
chased "suntan," to find it fade away
even quicker than achieved.
The question is, is any tanning worth
1t. If purchased by pain and suffering?
The only sensible answer is in the
negative, but there is an alternative:
The common sense tan, acquired
slowly, by no more exposure at any one
given time than the individual skin can
absorb without hurt.
This Is by far the best looking, as
well as strictly non-hurt. sort of sun
tan. and though it may not seem quite
50 heavy as the one secured as a result
Of the ordeal by fire, it has a way of
lasting a great deal longer, even if not
built up by future exposure.

Now that science has provided lotions
and creams to filter out the burning
rays OF the sun and to allow the tan
ming rays to pass. 1t would seem that
all sunshine enthusiasts should be free
from painful after effects.
Quite the opposite is true, however,
for the most precious ingredient OF all
is too often left out Of Americas fav0rite
summer outdoors sport.
We speak OF common sense.
No amount OF old-fashioned cocoa
butter, or vinegar, or olive oil, or cold
cream, or lotion out Of bottle, or cream
out Of Jar, will take the place of a
little Of this good old-fashioned virtue.
If Americans pine for individuality
and freedom, here is one OF the very
finest practical applications possible.
Every persons skin is law unto itself.
The amount of sunshine which will
burn painfully one skin viii have little
bad effects on another.
Yet everywhere at this time of the
year We see humans who have permitted
their skins to be burned, not tanned.
beyond all rhyme or reason.
No doubt short vacations and q de-
sire to make the best impression pos
sible on the return to work are re-
sponsible for this unhappy state of
affairs.
People who keep themselves in houses
and Offices for weeks and months on
end, and then suddenly precipitate
themselves with the minimum amount
Of clothing onto the beach are acting
in rather unwise manner. unless they
use a reasonable amount of common
sense, based upon the known reaction
Of the suns rays upon their individual
cuticle and its underlying layers.
1t must never be forgotten that much
Of the result, both as to burn and to
tan, depends upon those underlying
tissues right beneath the outer skin, or
epidermis.
The bringing of blood to the surface
and the actual scorching of the skin
are only part of the process. The other,
and most desirable one, is the tanning,
which causes certain mysterious chem
ical actions not only in the underlying
layers Of the skin, but also in the blood
stream.
The building up of vitamin D in the
system goes on as a direct result Of ex-
posure to the suns rays. This most
vital effect Is linked with the actual
tanning. according to the scientists They
say that the more one tans and the
faster without the pain Of too intensive
burns, the more benefit as we'll as the
more beauty.
There is but one justification for the
intense sunburns seen everywhere, in
which real pain and often acute misery
are caused. and that is in case the
person involved is going to have the
opportunity to tan himself every day
all summer long
Then, from one viewpoint, one might
as well get it over with.
These persons however have plenty
OF time, 50 from that standpoint there
is no justification in hurrying the
process.

Or try to seem exceptionally wise.

So remember that you mustn't beat

Germans in China Recalled.

From the Indianapolis Star.
Reports from China assert that Berlin
has recalled Gen. Won Faulkenhausen
and the German aids who have been d.
recting the strategy of the Chinese army
and drilling the new forces the republic
is raising. Departure of the group might
deal Chinese armies under Gen. Chang
Kai-shek serious blow. The troops
defending their country scarcely could
make shift Of foreign military experts
in the midst Of a critical campaign
without serious loss Of efficiency and
morale.
The Japanese have been protesting
against the presence Of the German
army experts as the directing influence
Of Chinese resistance. Strong pressure
was exerted by Toxic on Berlin as re-
suit of the treaty which links the two
relationships, also Italy, purportedly
against the threat Of Communism. The
Chinese are hoping that Berlin's order
may be partly modified. Germans have
been working on China's military prob
lens for seven years. While the present
group is retained under personal con-
tracts which do not expire until 1940 it
apparently would have no choice about
complying with recall instructions from
the Nazi high command.
Won FaulkenhauSen has remained be-
hind the scenes as part both of Oriental
and German "face-saving," but has been
q valuable military adviser and in
structor to Chang Kai-shek. The Ger
man mission has dominated every phase
Of military activity except in the field
Of aviation, which was left largely to
Russia.
The late Gen. Hans Won Seeckt,
brilliant German commander, was the
first to achieve substantial results in
molding China's armies on q German
pattern. Won Faulkenhausen gained
wide military experience in the World
War on various fronts and also as mill
tary attache at Toxic before the war.
He retired in 1880 with the rank Of full
general. He has been living at Hankow
and working at q salary said to be less
than $1,000 q month. His wife is living
in Hong Kong. It is understood that
the general advised the Chinese to cease
the war If just and honorable peace
could be obtained. There seems little
chance Of trusting any japanese COM
pact, however, since the war lords of
Toxic have demonstrated that any
pledge they might make - not worth
