NEW USES FOR CORN

Science has discovered new uses for a corn
by-product which promises more money for
the grower. Yarn, buttons, poker chips and
laminated board, all made from it, were ex-
hlbited at the recent chemurgic conference
at Chicago by W. B. NEwKIRK, research ex-
pert Of the Corn Products Refining company.
of Fargo, Ill.
Zein, a protein by-product of the manufac.
ture OF cornstarch, is the product which Mr..
NEwKIRK says might add from 40 to 60 cents
to the value of corn. Farmers are accustomed
to paying about $40 a ton, or two cents a
pound for it as livestock feed. For industrial
use Mr.. NEwKIRK says zein can be sold for
from Is to 20 cents a pound.
1t is already used industrially as a coating
for washable wallpaper, as a suspending me.
dunn for quick-drying printing ink and as a
medium from which buttons and poker chips
can be stamped at the rate of 10000 an hour.
1t is even to be used by cigarette manufac.
turers as a waterproof jacket for packaged
Tags in place of ~costlier tinfoil.
Whether it will tighten the Job for "rey.
enuers" is something else. There is nothing
to show, as yet, that moonshiners will take
advantage OF a new market for corn.

these deficiencies, for it is the federal govern
ment which may seek to regulate state as
we'll as national banks if the state systems
do not set and meet higher standards ana re-

And that situation leaves us with a question
which never has been satisfactorily answered:
What's the need of national and state banking

line, either.

Speaking before a regional banking confer.

Winston-Salem banker and president of the
Bankers association, declared that
the federal government may seek to regulate
staet as well as national banks unless a. high
quality Of bank supervision is maintained in
every state"

SWING VERSUS SWEETNESS

Some twenty thousand teachers and pupils
are in Los Angeles this week to debate the
issue, whether swing or melody shall be per-
petrated upon the people. The odds are with
the latter to the extent that the president of
the Conference Founders association FRANCES
ELLIOTT CLARK, of Philadelphia, declares
swing is not music.
She puts her views in the following words:
1.-THE sweeter tunes of an earlier period ex.
pressed the grace and high moral tone of the
time, but jitterbug music reflects upset and
uncertain morals of the present day" She
forecasts a change toward the more "beauti-
full music of the o~perettas and composers like
FOSTER"
Nobody knows in advance, Of course, what
the convention in the City of the Angels will
decide about it, but we humbly suggest that
if the honorable president of the Founders
association wants reform she should produce
a VICTOR HERBERT, a REGINALD DEKovEN, or
one of their ilk, with the score of a "Fortune
Teller or a "Naughty Marietta" under arm
for performance at the convention.
theoretically, it is all right to condemn
the atrocious stuff foisted upon the public un.
der the misleading label, music, but until we

SANITORIUM NEEDS

THE letter of R. D.. WEAVER appealing for
= an adequate tuberculosis sanatorium' ap-
pearing on this page, makes two points OF
particular interest.
One is that a place where tubercular pa
tients may all have sanctuary and treatment
would protect the well. Too much emphasis
cannot be given this matter of saving all per-
sons not infected from. contact with those who
have already contracted the disease. Tuber-
culosis is no longer the White Plague OF two
decades ago. Science has gone far to conquer
it. But nothing thus far discovered has less
ened the danger of infection through exposure
to it.
The one way to avoid it's spread is to safe
guard the we'll. This can be done best by iso-
lating it's victims, in all stages of the dis
ease, and keeping them under treatment until
ton it will be necessary to provide a sanato-
rum with ample quarters for all. The Red
Cross sanatorium is doing wonderful work,
but is too small to meet the need.
The other point is that when it became
known that Wilmington had a large refuge
for tubercular patients it would draw patients
from other cities, we'll able to pay for treat.
ment, and so could expect in time to be self
supporting. The correspondent notes that city
and county governments would be quick to
obtain federal aid in building the sanatorium.
But support in large measure would have to
come from the patients. If, as he thinks, they
would come in and occupy quarters provided
for all able to nav. without keeping the i'm.
poverished and needy out, the problem of
maintenance money would be we'll on the way
to solution.

It was a generous gesture of the popular

making good in the big city, do something
for the old burg, but that he is level-headed

This matter of teaching through the eye is
