NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Synthe-
sis of acth, the adrenal gland
hormone which has lately come
into such prominence as a possible
cure for arthritis, but which Is
still far too scarce for treatment
of patients, appeared a step nearer
with report to the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Science by DR.. c. H. Ia Of the
University Of California.
Acth belongs to the biological
compounds known as proteins.
They are extremely complex and
practically impossible to synthe-
size. DR.. Ii broke this protein
down by chemical means into
about a dozen much smaller and
simpler compounds. known as pep
tides. These are simple COM
pounds of amino acids, the basic
building stones Of the body, most
of which can be synthesized.
Used in the treatment OF a pa
tient, it was reported, the group
of peptides had identically the
same effect as the elusive protein
itself.
Theoretically the body itself
makes the peptides from amino
acids in the food and then builds
them into acth. It can do better

Drop
To 26Due Tonight;
Rain May Follow

Colder weather was predicted
for the District area tonight, with
the temperature expected to drop
to 26 degrees In the city and 20
In the suburbs.
But in spite Of this the District
is on the verge of putting 1949
down as the warmest year since
the Weather Bureau began keep
ing records in 1871.
The weather outlook for New
Years eve isn't too good, the
Weather Bureau said. The long
range forecast calls for rising
temperature tomorrow and rain
tomorrow night or Sunday.
The average temperature for the
year is expected to be 59.4 de-
grees. This is IL degrees above
the previous high average-58.2
degrees set in 1881.
The average yearly temperature
of the District since 1871 is SIS
degrees.
Today's low temperature was 30
degrees at 1902 am. and the
thermometer Is expected to rise
only to about 40 this afternoon.
During this year, the tempera-
ture was above average in every
month except September, which
was / degree below the average
for that month.
The hottest month, July, also
was the hottest July on record.
The average temperature was
81.4 degrees as compared to the
previous high July average of 81.1
set in 1872. The hottest day of
the year also occurred in July
100 degrees, recorded in town on
July S. This is below the all
time record of 106 degrees reached
in 1918 and in 1880.
The coolest reading was 10 de-
grees last January 80 but again
this was far from a record. In
February, 1899. the mercury
dropped to Is degrees below zero
in Washington.
These record high and low tenn
peratures are "city readings" p"
taken at the Weather Bureaus
M street station. The highest
temperature recorded at the Ma
tional Airport station of the
Weather Bureau was 81 on August
II while the low was 81 degrees
on January 80.
