Gives Clue TO a Longer

By GOBIND BEHARI LAL

International News Service Science Editor
A SIGNIFICANT d iscov cry
"A about engines, wh &c h
might greatly aid in control OF
diseases and even in lengthenlng
the average span of human life,
has Just been revealed.
Engines are the key cheml-
Gals of life. They are protein
substances, present in all living
cells; they are the ferments of
the living cell. They set the
pace for att thc processes Upon
which life depends-uSlng oXy-
gen, nourlshment, elimination Of
wastes, growth, reproduction,
and so on.
II Is of the utmost importance
for scientists to understand
what keeps the engines work
ing and what slows down and
totally stops their activities.
Chemical substances that inter-
fere with their action are known
as engine lnnlDlloIS'
CONCERNING these inhlbl-
~ tors. ProfS. Frank II. john

highly significant d iscov cry

ferase. which IS essential for the
production of "luminescence,
cold light, in living organisms,
particularly certain germs.
The engine acts upon an
other substance called lucifcrln:
the result of the chemical inter-
action is the release Of energy
by oxidation, a sort OF heaileSs
fire.
The method Of study is 10

of all life.
The Princeton scientists have
investigated how the famous

LABOR PICTURE BETTER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-CUP)-
War manpower commission officials
said today that the 48-hour work
week order should ease labor prob
lens in most of the 80 shortage
areas until such time that draft
calls, now averaging 100000 a
month, cut further into the num-
ber of men available for war in
duStry.
Thus far. they said, there has
been no indication of the total eff
feet of the order From Detroit,
however. has come what is con-
sidered by some VINO officials to
be a comprehensive blueprint of
the needs for labor and the effect
Of the 48-hour week in that area.
