LIFE ACID SECRET
TOPIC Of CHEMIST
Domination of World of
Plants Is Described
Before Society.

BY keeping the secret of making q
few "life acids" the world Of plants
keeps the animal world forever in its
power.
Efforts to find the formula for the
organic synthesis of two Of these,
crystine and methionine, were de-
scribed at the annual meeting of the
Chemical Society of Washington at the
Cosmos Club last night in the address
Of the retiring president, DR.. Ben H.
Nicolet. Department of Agriculture
chemist.
Both Of these are substances known
as amino acids, whose molecules are
used by the animal body to build up
the far more complex molecules Of pro-
teins. Both contain sulphur, which
plays an important role in the phe-
nomena of life. Without them animal
life would stop Immediately because
there could be no building up Of cells,
and consequently no growth.
Acids Synthesized.
Both these acids have been syn-
thesized in the chemical laboratory,
DR.. Nicolet said, but by methods OBJ
viously impossible for the plant. The
purpose Of his experiments was to
produce them by method as near
as possible to that which takes place
IN the plant, primarily to get more
fundamental understanding of one of
the basic mechanisms of life.
The great difficulty, he stressed, is
that some Of the chemical transitions
made u the laboratory of the vege-
table cells depend upon substances
which are extremely unstable and
which never have been isolated. It is
hlghly improbable that they ever
can be because of their highly transi-
tory nature. In his work he is using
chemicals as close to them as Dos
Sible.
The basic material for this life
process. it was explained, is probably
a material known as pyruvic acid
which is produced from sugars by
both plants and animals. To this.
IN order to form the essential "Nfe
acids must be added sulphur and
nitrogen molecules, ano the animal
seems to have no mechanism for
doing this
The basic substance of the two. DR..
Nlcolet said, seems to be methionine
He presented accumulated evidence
that, under conditions of great stress.
animals may be able to change meth
lonine to cystine in their own systems.
But they are utterly unable to make
the slightest trace of methionine itself
DR.. N. L. Drake, professor of Or
ganic chemistry at the University of
Maryland, was installed as president
OF the society; Dr. F.. c. Krecek of the
Geophysical Laboratory as secretary
and DR.. r. M. Ham of the National

.(Cincinnati Enquirer


 The daily grist of news is so progressively tragic in these terrifying years that all of have developed unwittingy compensating callousness. We read each day of the thousands of Chinese-women and children many of them-tom to bits by bombs from Japanese arpanes We take with our meals the most appalling accounts of modern pogroms by govern nent which has thrown aside the last of racial tolerance
 We read without murmur that an insolent dic- tator is keeping army of invasion of 150000 men in Spain, using his bombing planes to spread havoc among noncombatants in open cities. As pauses world but in his own mind and heart-he cannot fail to be shocked by his own insensivty. Each of us has hardened by the close proximity to endless horror which modern reporting provides
 It is a grim task that newspaper editors have to- day-to assemble the sanguinary intelligence of a world mad with false ambitions and senseless hatreds But there is no choice It would be no service to Americans. relatively today, to shield them from the facts however these outrage feelings of humanity
 But there is something even dispiriting than the realization of our caousness to suffering and evil It is the Knowledge of dulling defeatSm that has come, too We not only to be shocked as we take death and torture with our cof fee We also submit to the anaesthetizng belief that we do nothing about it. And rationalizng thus we reinforce hardness in the face of needless tragedy.
 Americans not alone in this. Other demo- cratic peoples are taking refuge in cynicism and de- featsm The result is vaciation and weakness, breeding courage in those governments which have foreswom law and morals. Is there no escape from this atrophy of moral indignation? Are we all to make excuses to ourselves until we are indeed sur passed by the peoples who believe that might is right and naught else matters? Upon the answer to these questions there may depend the of civilization whether toward decency and justice toward new dark age

It dares not make light of any nationality. Its boors, clowns and villains must be without country.

ARE WE OVERLOOKING A GOOD BET?

The need for furthering the tourist business IS again forcefully brought out by Dr Ernest Gruenng Director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in the Interior Department While one of the most ardent Alaska boosters in the country, pr Gruenings views actually are those of a man from the Outside; a who has seen the tourist business rise to take third position among the indus tries of the Hawaiian Islands and expand to great proportions the nation, and the vast possibi ties for progress in the industry in the north
 Living amid the attractions and opportunities of the Territory most of us have tendency to become immune to our advantages accepting the steady flow of travellers from the Outside natural thing and doing too little about encouraging the business as they do elsewhere
 Alaska has virtually everything to attract the vacationst and the sportsman the Director pointed out We could with little effort build winter sports up the top attraction in North America and bring thousands of travellers to the north in the win ter as well as during the summer. At Sun Valley Idaho can be found example. Trainoads of per- sons travel across the nation to enjoy the winter sports of the Idaho resort Shpoads could be brought to Alaska the premise.
 And in that connection comes the apropos sug- gestion of Dr. Gruening for recreat tional hotel in Southeast Alaska With accommodations such hotel of that type would afford there would be defin lte incentive for the sports lovers 10 come horli conscious of the fact that they could get the modern facilities in Alaska they could find at resorts in the States. Assured of summer business with the countless attractions that bring them north during this time of year winter trade could be built along similar lines,
 The catch in operating around recrea tional hotel in the north would be winter business With winter sports promoted by the construction of ski runs for which mountains admirably suited skating facilities and the kindred activities which go with winter outdoor pleasures, the difficulty of lack of winter business could be eliminated
 While are aiming at development of our natur al resources and our industries, do well to give full consideration to the tourist business as one of the major industries which can be made to pay huge returns to Alaska

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. When man is playing golf with woman, should he let her drive first, even though the "honor' is his?
 A. No. In any game played be- tween a man and a woman, the woman expects to be treated as an opponent and shown no courtesies merely because of her sex.
 Q. When should invitations to dinner be answered.?
 A. They must be answered inn mediately; written or engraved ones by return mail, and those which are telephoned must be accepted without the slightest hesitation, or declined with regrets.
 Q. If an engagement is broken must a girl return all the presents sent her for her engagement?
 A. Yes, and promptly.

SATURDAY, JULY g, 1888

According to astrology this should be a fairly lucky day in planetary direction. It is especially favorable to financial settlements.
 Discussion of money problems will be general as radio, telephone and motion picture stocks attract unu- sual interest.
 This is a favorable time to enter into new contracts or business part nershipS, but the seers warn of sud- den or unexpected international events which will affect American merchants and manufacturers.
 Chemistry is to make tremendous strides in its application to modern needs. It will contribute much to the destruction of life as well as to it's prolongation.
 This evening is an suspicious time for labor meetings or indus trial conferences. Hostile influences inspired by foreign agencies may encourage stronger bonds among union organizations.
 Care of the health is again en- joined by astrologers who foretell an epidemic. Extreme heat in many places may cause deaths Diet should be watched as maladies af- fecting the digestive tract will be prevalent.
 Women should protect their com plexions, avoiding extreme sun burn, as serious effects are foreseen this summer when the stars presage unusual diseases.
 This evening may be disappoint- ing to girls who are engaged or in- terested in romance. Eligible young men may be wary of serious woo- ing.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain and advancement. For few the aid of elders will assure satisfactory part nerships or well paid positions
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and ener- getic Subjects of this sign may be original and inventive
 Elias Howe, inventor of the sew ing machine, was born on this day 1919. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Richard Ballinger, onetime Secretary of the Interior, 1858; Louis Antoine Bour- rienne, French biographer, 1769.

ANOTHER NORMAL PACK FORECAST

First reports of the salmon pack in the Westward not impressive. Figures reveal it to be about half of last season for the same period But that is not unusual situation as the pack reports over the years reveal but it is nearly the usual dition
 Last the run comparatively early The year before, 1886 when the total salmon pack went eight million cases, the largest in history the run slow just it is this year in the Bristol Bay Up to the first of July in 1886 the time for which figures are now available this year Bristol Bay had packed only 88245 cases but it wound up the season with total pack of 1,393.808 cases.
 Best news in the salmon industry is the report from Bristol Bay that the fish coming good" in the Naknek Nushagak and Kviohak rivers That means the season is just getting under way and other normal pack can be expected from the great fishing area of the Westward.
