Scientists Describe
Strange Force in
Cell Development

The operation of strange
force" which moulds life was de-
scribed yesterday to scientists at
tending the annual meeting of
the National Academy of Sci
ences here.
The force, responsible for the
forms of all living things, was a
topic of a symposium on growth
and development.
Speakers pointed to the OPP
Grafton of the force in every
high animal or plant made up
of a vast number of individual
units, or cells. Through the
force, cells always drop into the
right place at the right time to
make the right species or sub
species of the right organism.
1t has been assumed that this is
due to something inherent in
the organism-man or mouse or
tree-itself.
Occurs in Single Cells.
But. it was reported by DR..
Kenneth B. Raper of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the same
thing happens in the building up
of colonies of the single-celleo
organisms-bacteria and amoe-
bae. Here each cell is completely
independent to lead its own lie.
But different species of bacteria,
for example, always build COM
munities with specific patterns.
DR.. Raper said. This must be
due, he stressed, to some inherent
force in the one-celled creature
itself, not in the pattern. Each
cell seems to know another cell
of the same species and to have
an irresistible urge to get into
an inherent geometrical pattern
with the others.
Describes One Species.
Often supposedly completely
independent bacteria get to-
gether in forms very much like
those of higher organisms. He
described one species of bacteria
in which from 1000 to 5000 in
dividuals get together in a form
very much like that of garden
slug. Then the slug is trans
muted into something that looks
like a staked foWer-Some Of the
cells seeming to recognize their
place in the stalk and others
their place in the bud for re-
productive purposes.
DR.. william j. Robbins of the
New York Botanical Garden pre-
sented the thesis that all animal
and plant growth is a series
which differs for every species
of catalyZed chemical reactions
In which each new step depends
on the completion of the pre-
ceeding step. Thus. although
there are lot of intermediate
products between the time food
is ingested and the time it forms
part of a living cell, each product
requires a specific substance for
its production. and if a single
one of these substances is lack
ing, growth cannot proceed.
Affects Cancer Research.
Some organisms can produce
all the "catalysts" need but most
cannot, he pointed out. Exam
Piles in both animal and plant
life are vitamins, amino acids
and particularly engines. He
told of growing different species
of moulds, each OF which had to
have different specific catalysts
supplied in the culture medium
on which it was raised.
Here. he indicated, may even
tually be found the silver bull
let" against some kinds of CEN
Ger. Cancers are cases of
extremely rapid growth of some
species of cells. The problem is
to find the specific catalystS alb
solutely required for this growth,
but not required for the growth
of other cells of the body.

He broke doughnut carefully. Three
years later she married again and had

pounding a beat :" She was staring at
him now mot much of career so far, he
said But I'll tell you this: he's awfully
glad to be alive"
She kept staring at him. Then, suddenly,
she buried her face in her hands; her shoul-
ders shook.
He sat quietly, saying nothing letting her
cry. There were no instructions about this
in the manual, but he knew that woman
who can soften her grief with tears will
master it in the end.
He gave her his handkerchief. why don't
you 60 on home and try to sleep?" he said
gently Its going to be tough, awfully
tough. And lonesome. But you'll make it.
After tomorrow Ill be on day duty again.
You can find me around here any time in
case you want to return the handkerchief"
She said uncertainty, "You mean can go
now?"
''If you'll go straight home. Will you
promise?"
She nodded. Thank you" she said. and
turned away quickly.
HE WATCHED her go. feeling the pity turn
like knife inside him, wondering whether
he would ever see her again. 1t was odd. but
he had distinct feeling that he would.
He put coin on the counter. BY rights,
he knew his conscience should be bothering
him a Bit He had disobeyed the manual
from start to finish. On top of that he had
told deliberate lie: his mother, bless her,

She said nothing. The rigid look was still
on her face.
This coffee's pretty good, he said. 'Why
don't you tell me what's bothering you?"
She did not answer She sat there, motion
less, unesponsive, and he wondered YEARLY
if maybe he hadn't better take her on down
to headquarters and turn her over to the
matron and be done with it. But something
made him try once more.
HE TOUCHED the insignia on his sleeve "See
that? 1t means I'm in the Traffic Division.
And you know, life is sort of like driving

other violations, get our tenders dented;

Because you never know how your action
will affect somebody else"
She brought her left fist slowly up from
her lap She opened it, and he saw for the
first time the thin gold wedding ring and the
crumpled ball of yellow paper.
He smoothed out the paper and read the
telegram 1t was from the War Department
in Washington 1t began: With deep regret

He took a swallow of his coffee, cropping
for an answer, knowing that there was no
answer, really, for anyone at time like this.
But if, just for a moment, he could break
through that frozen shell of grief, make her
think of something other than herself, it
might help.
Look" he said. Let me tell you story.

Good Old Days Of lsoio+ion Seem TO Have Returned

Seward is experiencing a re- turn to the good old days this weekend. To the good old days when the town was completely isolated from the world. On Friday, the only communication was by radio.
 A snow slide reported as 600 feet long and 15 to 20 feet deep just north of GirdWood stopped all traffic on both railroad and highway. Another slide at Mile 39 is reported to be almost the entire length of Jerome Lake. Road crews were working at top speed on both obstructions at presstime, but had not succeed ed in releasing traffic.
 A bowling southeaster in Sew ard knocked out telephone lines by the dozen, and prevented the landing of any planes. Cars stuck fender-deep in slush, and finally word of another shipping strike on the Pacific Coast com pleted a picture of illustration for this port city.
 "Oh, well, it can't last for ever," was the byword, however, and business proceeded as usual, waiting for the good old days to pass.

RoiIroud Mon Dead From Monoxide Gas At GrondvieW

John Whitehead, section fore man at GrandvieW on The Alas ka Railroad, was pronounced dead by Dr. J. B. Deisher of Seward at about pm, Friday, February 20.
 The Seward Police Depart ment was alerted at about 100 o'clock with request for the ambulance, a doctor and the re- suscitator. The only ambulance available was the ARR vehicle, which was sent with the doctor and equipment. It broke down a short distance from town and the doctor returned for his own car. Bad road conditions and the breakdown delayed arrival of the doctor at Moose Pass. White head had been taken from GrandvieW to Moose Pass by railroad speeder. He was given artificial respiration, but Dr. Deisher pronounced the man dead upon his arrival there.
 Word received here was that MT Whitehead had fallen into a hole next to the power house and was overcome by monoxide gas from the engine. His body was brought to Seward, and his wife arrived here Friday night from their home at Grandview.
