imagine it carries a message for
American morale.
l still doubt that it is possible
TO ordain a song into popular
favor with the soldiers or civil
ians unless il has the musical
and lyrical elements of popular
ity. but l am willing TO help the
effort.
| say the soldiers and civilians
will sing only the songs they
like in this war as in every
other war and they must be
good songs 10 start with. An
over There or a "Tipperary'
or a Long, Long Trail" will al.
ways catch the soldier and civil
ian fancy regardless of official
approval or disapproval. That
is because they are essentially
good songs.
I AM interested in Mr.. Green's
L statement that composer Sig
mund Romberg. president of the
Songwriters' Protective ASso-
citation and a prolific camp en-
tertainer, and Lanny Ross and
other musicians who are active
in this entertainment, report
that the boys like gang songs
OF yeSteryear-the kind they can
Join in singing. such as Down
by the Old Mill Stream and
Let Me Call You Sweetheart. "
1t serves to prove my point that
the soldiers will sing only what
they like.
Our government for the pur-
poses of DIX, the radio beam TO
Australia, Iceland, Alaska. the
Caribbean and other places
where there are American
troops, uses over There" as the
inspirational theme, according
to Mr.. Green. which is what
pointed up the Owls interest in
popular songs.
But ne ADMITS, somewhat
glumly, l suspect. that songs of
a later date and more banal in
lyrical thought, remain the ia
vorte with the boys.
Which is why William B.
Lewis, former vice president of
CHS in charge of radio produc-
ton and now etherizing expert
under Elmer Davis in Owl, is
trying to get the song writers
and publishers to give us some
thing more dignified.
A new song era along these
lines might not actually win the
war but it would probably raise
the tone of our popular song
production.

Two Needed
Brain Foods
Discovered
BY G.. Ii. LAL

international News service Science Editor
TWO essential brain foods
Il have been discovered. the
deficiency of which in diet low
ers intelligence.
The two substances are the
amino acids called lysine and
cystine. present in protein food
stuffs used as whole milk.
The discovery has been made
by Drs. Bernard f. ReiSS and
Richard J. Block at the labora-
tories of experimental psychol-
ogy of the Hunter College here.
through researches m d q on
white rats that served as models
for man.
When the rats were given a
diet containing 10 amino acids
which are known to be essential
for growth, they appeared nor
NAL both physically and men
tally.
Leaving out of just one of the
amino acids, lysine. from the
daily rations. produced a marked
mental deficiency.
The lack of another amino
a d, cystine, had a similar
effect.
DEFICIENCY of both lySine
~ and cystine reduced the
mental power Of these animals
TO a greater degree than the
lack of only one Of them.
The harmful effect OF lysine
and cystine deficiency was
directly and selectively in the
brain, for the animals Jared well
in other respects.
Their ability TO learn was
measured.
For comparison, rats born at
the same time as those used in
the deficiency tests were en-
ployed. These controls were
fed all the 10 amino acids. No
lowering of the learning ability
was observed in them.
THE 10 amino acids used were
L these: methionine, arginine,
lysine. tryptophane, phenylla-
nine, cystine,t tryrosine, isoleu-
cine, valine, hiStidine.
However, for normal human
diet, in addition TO these,
dozen or so other amino acids
are considered essential.

WILL YOU please print this letter?
w The fellows here in camp would
like to have the public know how we
feel.
We wonder why any two people
or group Of people get big enough to
get away with anything soun-Ameri-
can as Ia close defense plants, j just
because they have a little misunder-
standing.
There are well over 100000 of
us in this mans army (and we gave
up plenty to be here). All of us
don't get along. We have plenty of
misunderstanding but we make the
best of things.
WE UNDERSTAND that We have
w big job to do. And we are 60
ing to get it done as soon as possible.
We feel that we are the only
country in the world that has any
thing worth fighting for. And we
are ready to fight for it right down
to the last man.
| think that | have method that
would stop such un-American activi-
ties. If could put few of the more
selfish individuals in my place for
few months, they would see things
in a different light.
We don't ask for dances in our
honor. Or USO clubs on every post.
All we want is three meals day and
a place to sleep. And we want equip
ment so we can get our job done as
soon as possible.
Must we put up with such foolish
ness? Or can people turn big enough
to help us do our job?

st. Mary's knows what lean days
mean in the way of hardship.
Founded by Father Joseph A. Leitch,
a dyed-in-w wool sports fan, the club
struggled through some trying days
at the beginning, starting in an old
garage with hardly enough funds to
buy the few pieces of equipment
necessary to stage informal club
bouts.
Under President Edward j. Wein-
ers 1t has made astounding progress
In the last couple of years, refur-
bishing its quarters, buying new
equipment and going to the fore Of
boys clubs establishments. But it
was a hard, bitter struggle with
everybody up to elbows in hard
work to put it over. Hence, when
word got around that the neighbor-
in Alexandria club was in dire cir
cumstances and probably would be
unable to tinue operations
through the remainder Of the sum-
mer months Weiner and his cohorts
got busy.
Ten bouts will be staged and St.

popular battlers as Nick Latsios,
