Scores Of other engines are known. Such
basic things as the rate Of the heartbeat, the
contraction Of muscles and the breathing of
all body cells depend on engines.
All these things have been known but no
one has ever been able TO study engines in
side the living body except by indirect
methods. Scientists could take pepsin out
of the body and put it In test tube and
watch it begin TO digest meat but they could
only indirectly study its action In the human

sulfapyridine and sulfathiazole that

The new discoveries which won
the $1,000 AA.AS prize give the
probable explanation. The effect Of
the sulfa drugs is to denature the
engines which the germs must
have to digest their food and grow.
BY using sulfanilamide and its COM

rapidly the body can catch up with

their communities so that Fed

AS long as local authorities
keep out vice, there will be no

said. Bugas discussed the So
called May Act in an address
to the Michigan Sheriffs Asso-
citation convention. The act pro-
vides for Federal control in lax
areas.
A new form for reports to the
State Department of Corrections
was adopted by the convention.
DR.. Garrett Heyns, corrections
director, presented the form.
The convention, being attend

A resolution adopted by the

Doomed Man
StOically
Awaits Death
BY OTIS ]. PUSEY

SALT LAKE CITY, July %
(P)-Donald Lawtcn Condit,
stole 25-year-old convict from
Los Angeles, sat in Utah's grim
State prison today awaiting the
hour TO expiate before a firing
squad the robbery murder of a
salesman which left five chill
dren fatherless.
Tomorrow when the first rays
of dawn break over the Majestic
Wasatch mountains that guard
Utah's capital, Condit will be
led from his cell, blindfolded
and shot to death by five rifle
men recruited from the country.
When the California man,
WI use record includes an eight
year police dossier and Jail and
reformatory sentences in Cali
fornia, was arrested more than
a year ago, his 20-year-old
blond wife, Betty, vowed she'd
stick with him to the end.
And today, only a few hours
before the scheduled execution,
Betty was fighting for the life
of her man.
Keeping out of the public eye,
but working diligently behind
the scene, Mrs. Condit consult
ed Attorney A. w. Watson in a
last minute effort to stay the
riflemen's guns.
But Gov. Herbert B. Nav Wis
tied the condemned man, then
remarked that clemency would
only prolong Condit's agony"
Mrs. Condit was holding up
"like BRICK" said Watson, adj
ding that her husband was
standing the ordeal well, too.
Condit was convicted of shoot
ing Harold Arthur Thorne, 33,
6 1t Lake City salesman, on a
lonely road west of Cedar City,
in Iron County, March 20, 1941.

be loaded with live bullets; the
other will shoot a blank. But

LOURENCO MARQUES, Por-
|tuguese East Africa, July a.
|(Delayed) - (P) - Hongkong
must be the worlds most looted
city.
1t has been pillaged by experts
and amateurs.
Only three days after the out
break of hostilities, Chinese be-
gan ravaging Kowloont opposite
|Hongkong Island which that day
was bein5 evacuted by British
troops and police.
Trucks were being used by
|well-orga..ized and armed gangs
from the very start, supple
|mented by foot patrols of
|pickets who robbed Americans
and Britons fleeing for the safety
of Hongkong Island.
Several saved their watches
and money only by shooting
their way through the picket
lines. Many were threatened
with being shot or having their
fingers chopped off if they did
mot surrender their rings and
other valuables promptly.
A light touch was lent by a
looter who emerged jubilantly
from a British villa. He carried
Ia gigantic bottle. Passing evac-
uees noted the label-"epSom
salts"
An example of the thorough
mess of the footing of Kowloon
was provided by Americans who
revisited their former residence
there. They returned with a
clothes pin, the only property
left.
Large scale and systematic
footing of Hongkong Island got
under way as soon as the colony
surrendered. Rich residences in
the exclusive Peak district were
|rifled with the obvious conniv-
|ance of former servants.
Supposedly secret h d ! n G
places were cleaned out immedi-
lately. Some valuables, however,
remain buried in gardens, cached
by the owners after the servants
filed.
While metal fixtures were
taken by the japanese for mill
|tary purposes, other parts of
houses, including floor boards,
doors and window frames, were
appropriated by Chinese for
firewood.

WASHINGTON, July 29-(P)
Progressive shortages in es-
sential supplies appeared likely
today TO bring more forcibly to
every home what President
Roosevelt termed the need of a
greater realization of the seri-
business of war.
Asking full civilian participa-
ton in a scrap salvag, drive and
warning of forthcoming short
ages in many foods, the Presi-
dent said at a press conference
yesterday that the situation had
yet to be realized by many peo-
pie in the country.
He declared that while there
would be no general food short
age, many specific items avail
able now would be lacking lat
er. A current shortage of meats
in some areas, he added. was
symptomatic of conditions which
will produce deficiencies of GER
tain foods in the future.
MEAT LACKING
The President attributed the
lack of meat to the fact that the
armed services have grown to
abou. 100000 men, with a
greater consumption of meat
than in normal times; purchase
of more and better cuts by peo-
pie with more money to spend,
and arrival of the off-season for
beef.
Describing the coming scrap
salvage drive as an opportunity
for every person to take a per-
sonal part in the war effort, the
President called upon families to
ransack cellars, attics and back
yards for old metal, rubber and
he urged that waste fats be turn
ed over to meat markets.
RAW MATERIALS SHORT
The lack Of raw materials
Mr.. Roosevelt added, is in many
ways seriously limiting factor
in war production. The more
scrap turned in. he said. the
greater the output of planes,
tanks and guns.
The President said he still was
scrutinizing the initiation prob

gress passed last week to create

President replied:
The chances are il will get

He authorized direct quota
ton.
While asserting that he was
planning an additional move re-
garding rubber, the President
said he was not ready to disclose
what it would be.
Other developments expected
to cause more persons to feel eff
fects of the war included q re-
quest by defense transportation
director Joseph B. Eastman for
elimination of much local rail-
road service where reasonably
adequate" bus service Is availa-
BILE.
Eastman wrote state public
service commissions that engines
and passenger cars thus releas-
ed, could be transferred to more
important wartime uses.
