PHARMACIST EXPLAINS U.S.P.

in the Drug Store show window, Pharmacist Albert

He explained that they United States Rarwa-
copoeia. HU.S.P." is book COUPLED and published
by authority of the United States Fharmacopoeta1
Convention and is recognized by Federal and State
Laws of the two authorities for drug stan
dards.-
The convention, which meets every ten years IN
Washington, D. c.. is made up of delegates from ned
ical and pharmaceutical societies and schools all
the country, of certain United States Government
officials and of other scientific and industrial
representatives. Proposed by Dr. lyman Spa1ding of
New York City in 1877 the first convention Was held
in 1920.
The book has undergone eleven revisions-the last
the result of the 1880 conventi on--and thus
has kept pace with discoveries and progress in
the science of medic cine.
TWO supplements to U.s.P. XII have been published.
The second became official January l. 1910 and
is the final authority all drugs whose monographs
it has decided to revise since the issuance of
U.S.P. XII and the first supplement.
The United States harmacopoeia became of the
States Governments authori ties with the pass
age of the Federal Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906
which designated it as a standard below which the
quality of drugs, and compounds containing these
drugs, could not fall.
The other authorit y is the book known National
Rrmulary, often referred to as the Forunlary or
simply N.F., which also designated by the FEDERAL
Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 standard for
drugs and drug preparations.
This book is prepared by authority of the American
Pharmaceutical Associa ton. At any time it seems
necessary desirable, the council Of this associa
ticn may appoint COMM ttee of members to make
visions and publish edi ton of the Fornmlary.
It first published in 1883 and is in its
sixth edi tion.
There is conflict between the two books. One
not contain material which is In the other. The
N.F contains standards preparations that not
have wide, everyday usage and also contains
formulas than does U.S.P.
There is such tremendous amount of material on
the subject of drugs and drug preparations that all
of it could not be incorporated into book.
All the States have passed laws modelled after the
Federal Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 which control
drugs that not in interstate omerce. These
laws recognize U.SP. and N.F. as the standard for
those products which contain drug or preparation
within the scope Of either of these two books.

An acute shortage of dependable
pitching ammunition prevailed
among the Mats today as Presi-
dent Clark Griffith announced the
release of AL Hollingsworth, veteran
southpaw obtain from Brooklyn on
trial, all of which would indicate a
deal is brewing whereby Washington
would snare mound talent.
Dependable or otherwise, Man
ager Bucky Harris now is equipped
with total of nine hurlers, and,
such as they are, it hardly is ade-
quate. At the present pace, which
has seen Washington's starting
pitcher shelled from the mound in
of 13 engagements, Bucky figures
to be yanking out generous chunks
of his gray-flecked hair before the
month skips into oblivion.
Impressive in his debut with the
Mats, when he limited the Yankees
to three hits in six and one-tt1ird
inning relief role, Hollingsworth
failed to approach that standard
in subsequent starts against Phila-
delphia and Detroit. BY sending
him back to the Dodgers Griffith

was to be returned providing Hol-
lingsworth made the grade here.

To Beut White Sox:
Bees Clip Cards
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The early season setbacks of the
Yankees, the surge of the Brooklyn
Dodgers and the slow start Of the
stingless Boston Bees all have con-
tributed in keeping any one but the
immediate family interested in the
condition of the Boston Red Sox.
But the Cronin clouters clamored
for attention yesterday on the wings
of some real power displayed while
whacking out a 10-inning, 9-8 VIC
tory over the st. Louis Browns.
The Sox collected IL hits, but what
was important was the fact that
four of them were home runs. Jim
Tabor got two, Ted Williams and
Manager Joe Cronin one each.
That production was one home
run more than the New York
Yankees could manage in their 8-4
victory over the Chicago White Sox.
The Red Sox slugging put them
into first place in the league-a posi-
ton filled most of last year by their
arch rivals, the Yankees.
Tabor Hero of Game.
Now, up Boston way at least, there
is distinct feeling that the last
year contenders are going to be this
years champions.
Jim Tabor was the real hero of
the game. his second homer tying
the score in the ninth and his single
against the left field wall with ths
bases loaded in the tenth bringing
IN Ted Williams with the winning
run. Seven pitchers toiled with Joe
Hevlng getting credit for the vir
and Johnny Whitehead getting 9
black mark for losing.
Meanwhile, the Yankees managed
to pull up to the 500 mark with
typical 8-4 victory over the White
Sox. The Sox for six innings had
visions of another southpaw, Edgar
Smith, tanning the champions, but
suddenly the champs blew hot. Joe
Gordon cleaned the loaded bases
with a triple in the seventh and
George Selkirk and Charley Keller
clouted homers in the eighth. The
victory gave Marvin Breuer his first
big league victory, though he allowed
10 hits.
Second Win for Bees.
In the only other game played in
the majors, the Boston Bees won
their second game of the season be-
hind the fine hurting and timely
hitting of Bill Posedel-a 4-2 victory
over the st. Louis Cardinals.
The veteran Highlander held the
Cards to seven hits and started the
Bees on their winning rally with a
double in the sixth inning. Lon
Warneke, Jack Russell and Bob
Bowman shared the mound for the
Cards, allowing a total of 10 hits.
Rain and cold weather put crimp
in the other contests.

game to Wilson. But yesterday the
200-pounder got the better of duel

Although three regular players
were out of the lineup, the Riders
managed to protect a slight lead
after the third inning. In addition
to pitching well, Vermillion led the
winning attack with three hits and
drove in two runs.
Techs Webb, despite sore arm,
managed to fan eight.
The defeat dropped Tech from

Nothing has happened to change
the opinion that Bimelech is too
much horse for the others in the
! race. The money will be poured in
on him today until he pays ridicu-
lousy small price-if he wins.
The second choice almost surely

bets is expected to go down on both
these horses, but the solid money
will be riding on Bimelech when
the great crowd yells They're Off
Some Loud Dissenters.
/ There are, of course, a few highly
vocal dissenters who honestly be-
heve that Dit or Midland will out
run the Bradley colt in that closing
charge down the stretch. The riders
of those two horses, in fact, are
sublimely certain that they have
the race between them.
Come to think of it, there is
something a trifle silly about max
ing any horse the favorite that
Bimelech will be today. Too many
things can happen. Any horse can
get a poor start or a dumb ride. or
both. Not only that, but there al
ways remains the fact that the colts
are being called upon today to run
little farther than they ever ran
before.
Just a year ago, for instance,
there was a pretty little runner
named Ell Chico, a ball of fire as a
2-year-old sprinter and opening
winter book favorite for the Derby
Ell Chico was q running fool in, the
early stages of the big race, too
But when the quarters began get
ting a little longer over on the
back stretch, Ell Chico turned the
thing over to Johnstown. Alas
how we'll some of us remember.
Providing there are no further
scratches before post time, the others
trying to take Bimelech's measure
are Gallahadion, Pictor, Roman
Siroco and Royal Man. Siroco
was due to make the effort only If
the track was lightning fast. Pictor
