Blood Pressure
Cure Reported
Kidney Compound

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE

anew YORK, Jan. "A new
chemical compound which low
ers high blood pressure in man
was described today in the Rock
efeller Institutes Journal Of Elk
perimental Medicine.
The compound is extracted
from kidneys of animals, and is
the result of an increasing body
Of medical evidence that kidneys
possess something which has the
ability not only to initiate high
blood pressure but also to lower
it.
The new extract, the result Of
many offerings of animal kidney
was reported by Doctors Irvine
H. Page, o. M. Helmer, K. G.
Kohlstaedt, p. j. Fouts and G. F.
Kemf of the Lilly laboratory
for clinical research, Indiana
polls city hospital.
The blood pressure was lower
ed strikingly in many animals.
both dogs and rats, and also in II
human beings. Six Of these had
the apparently incurable form Of
high pressure and five were in
the hopeless stage known a. NAL
ignant high blood pressure.
The half dozen with the incur
able form all experienced pro-
longed reduction. in pressure.
They also appeared to be i'm
proved in general health. Head
aches disappeared.
Two of the malignant" type
died even though their presslires
were sharply reduced. The other
three of these hopeless" cases
are now much improved. Not
only is their blood pressure down
but their eyesight Is better,
hearts better and they have lost
some of their difficulties In
Dreaming.
The final verdict is not pre-
dicted. The treatment Is still In
the experimental stage.
The length Of time the blood
pressure remains down after the
kidney extract has been injected
varies greatly in both humans
and animals.
The animal tests showed that.
although the extract Is fatal In
oversioses, Il has no poisonous
effects in amounts which will
lower blood pressure. ~

Fast Ships
Supss-Spssd Cutters
Answer 10 Sub Menoce


oLONDON, Jan. "A fleet OF
fast new "corvettes," which look
like streamlined, $upercharged
u. S. Coast Guard cutters. Il Bril-
tain's latest answer to the Ger
man submarine menace, 1t was
disclosed today.
The new ships, which an In
formed source said are being
built in large numbers In both
Britain and Canada. already are
credited with a number Of sue
cesses against undersea COM
merce raiders.
Shallow-bottomed, spec dy,
bristling with guns and depth
charges, the "Corvettes" were
designed to meet the need for
small craft which could be built
quickly at low cost.
Production is Tin full swing"
it was said, and the vessels are
rapidly taking over much Of the
merchant convoy work which
converted trawlers tried to as
sumo at the outset of the war.
The "Corvettes"-named for
one of the fastest types of 10th
century sailing vessels - were
said to have proved themselves
extremely seaworthy, to be much
speedier than the traWlers and
tc have demonstrated their abil-
ity to operate further from bases.
The craft take their individual
names from flowers, and carry
q crew of three officers and so
to 60 men.
Because of their small size, life
aboard the new vessels in the
mid-winter Atlantic gales was
described as extremely hard
and uncomfortable"
1T is so uncomfortable" one
source said, that when one of
them recently picked up three
Icelandic fishermen, these old
salts promptly became seasick
and remained so until they got
back to port"

CHAPTER XIX

John @. Powers descended from
the train at Round Top and was met
by Calhoun Terry. The two men
walked to the Holden House, where
the ranch foreman had taken rooms.
Powers was heavy-set, middle
aged man of a precise habit OF
mind. He wore square-toed shoes,
q double-breasted coat, and a silk
hat. His home was in Philadelphia,
and he had never before been far
Their west than Chicago. The Pow
ers family had bought for Them
selves and some business associates
the Diamond Reverse B ranch at
time when capital was being poured
into the cattle industry. So far it
had been good investment. There
had been bonanza years when the
ranch had returned more than 80 per
cent on the original cost. But those
boom days were past. The profits
had dwindled, and the books showed
for two years balance in the red.
A letter from the foreman had
brought him out here in person.
AS they walked to the hotel, Pow
ers noticed that Terry did not ex-
change greetings with the men he
met. The glances that fell on the
Philadelphia were merely curious,
but when they shifted to the fore
man they held unconcealed hostility.
There was a tensity in the atmos-
phere that John @. did not like.

the ranch?"

piled. "An outfit as large as ours

HYDE PARK VISIT

Miss Thompson and I caught the
4:30 plane one day for New York
city. We were joined there by Mrs.
Helm, and after dining at the house,
drove up to Hyde Park.
It was raining fairly hard, but I
liked. the sound of it as I sat on
my porch and rejoiced in the coun-
try quiet. was sorry, however, to
wake to a gray day and steady
downpour the next day in spite Of
the fact that we need rain badly. !
At 10 o'clock, I met the prime
minister of Canada, Mr.. Mackenzie
King, and Princess Juliana of the
Netherlands, with her two children,
at the Poughkeepsie station. They
settled down very quickly, and at
IL o'clock, our two small grand
daughters, Sara and Kate Roosevelt,
who are staying with friends in
Rhinebeck, came down to lunch with
the two little Princesses.
The rest of us, with the addition
of Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau,
and several girls and their friends
from vassar, intended to have an
outdoor picnic, but we ended by
using the new playroom. It proved
q great success and after lunch
we sat around the fire and asked the
President, the prime minister and
the secretary of the treasury, in
Vulnerable questions. sc
We all argued with each other,
which always brings out many points
of view. Since Vassar is at present
having conference on the postwar
world, there was much talk of both
present and future defense. The rain
was forgotten and think, perhaps,
it even added to the sense Of COM
panionship. for a gray outer world
makes one all the more conscious Of
a fire and cheerfulness within.
After tea at the big house, the
Vassar guests were taken back to
college. We had no guests for din
ner and the President and the prime
minister settled down to a long talk.

The greater part of these in
creases occurred since last Febru-
ary, and in October of this year
prices were still rising. Some of
these prices should undoubtedly
have increased, particularly if the in
crease reflects itself in the farmers
pocket. I am wondering, however,
if, in the case of milk, we will not
have to resort to less handling, in
order to keep the price on a level
where children in cities can have
enough.

PLEDGE AGAINST WASTE

EAGDOE1 AO6kNSA WASAH
have taken the pledge which
Miss Harriet Elliott is asking all
house-holders in the country to take
during civilian defense week.
Knowing quite well that, in the
White House, it would be impossible
for either sMrs. Nesbitt or me to
sign this pledge honestly without the
cooperation Of the whole White
House staff, asked all those who
were on duty to meet me.
! explained its meaning, particu-
larly in not wasting anything. ]
urged them all to sign the pledge in
dividually when it comes out, and to
try to live up to it in the White
House. ! hope, also, that they will
persuade their own families to join
with us. They were most co-opera-
tive and my first suggestion came
Immediately from Mrs. Nesbitt, who
said that we had certain things that
were always left over after big
party, which could be sent to the
self-help cooperative farm and fed
to their animals. So we have found
one useful outlet for leftovers which
could not be used at all on our own
table.
CORRESPONDENTS COURSE
We hope very shortly to have a
correspondence course available in
the Office of Civilian Defense. 1t is
fairly simple study on nutrition
and the duty of the consumer. Many
people who cannot attend classes
may be able to read these courses
and go to a volunteer bureau or
consumers information bureau once
to take test. This will then make
it possible for every household to
feel it is part of the civilian de-
Tense effort.
COST OF LIVING
had some quite appalling news
ON the rise in the cost Of living last
week. The average housewife must
now spend IA per cent more money
for the food she will need for the
family dinner than she did year
ago. In some cities, the increase in
food costs is even greater, running
to over 10 per cent. If you were
preparing a meal of ham and eggs,
potatoes, white bread, butter, coffee
