new ICE CREAM FOR
Sugar Content Cut In Half
DIABETIC VICTIMS
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press SCIENCE Editor

URBANA, Ill, Nov. ga
new ice cream for diabetes has
been produced at the University
of Illinois containing about 40
per cent as much sugar as the
standard product.
Scientists at the institution
substituted a mixture principally
of milk proteins for the glycerine
used previously in, efforts to
freeze a 1ow-sugar ice cream.
These proteins. reported Profes-
sors W. J. Corbett and P. H.
Tracy, came from fresh skinned
milk and reduced the glyeerine to
4 per cent. = Flavors produced
satisfactorily were pineapple,
piStachio. lemon, lime, orange.
mint, apricot, vanilla and choco-
late.
One out of each 260 persons in
the United States is diabetic, the
scientists estimated, and hence
might receive benefit from such
a product.

the way they look at the state
hood-for-Hawaii situation:
(There should be here the brief
precede that the Islands, in their
recent election, voted 68 per cent
IN favor of pushing statehood.
As soon as the Hawaiian legiS-
lature meets and memorializeS
Congress to that effect, a joint
resolution will be introduced, no
doubt, which, if passed, would
clear the way for the 49th state).
The military powers that be
may not favor statehood at this
time. They figure it's easier to
handle a territorial government
under even limited-emergency
conditions than a state. And if
anybody doubts the importance
of Hawaii in Pacific naval af-
fairs, let him get out his en-
cyclopedia and read up on Pearl
Harbor When peace is on the
world and we're scrapping ships
instead of building them, what
the Army and Navy people want
doesn't amount to so much. But
in times like these, what they
want makes a big noise under
the Capitol dome and all the con-
gressmen hear, and a lot of them
agree.
Mixture Of Races
There is also the problem of
racial makeup of the Hawaiian
population. According to the
Territorial Board of Health esti-
mates for 1910, the population
was made up7of 156, ,849 japanese;
