Cuncer-Pro ducing Agent
Isolated in Cigarette Smoke

A part OF cigarette tar which
causes skin cancer in animals
has been isolated in an attempt
to find different cancer-produc-
ing agents in cigarette smoke.
This was reported yesterday by
Dr. Ernest l.. Wynder, head of
the Section of Epidemiology OF
Sloan-kettering Institute in New
York, and Dr. George Wright,
professor of chemistry OF the
University of Toronto. at the
annual meeting of the American
Association For Cancer Research
in Atlantic City.
A mechanical smoking device
which Stimulates human smok :
ing was used to collect tar which
was painted on the backs of mice.
This whole tar produced skin
cancer in approximately al per
cent of the mice used and also
in the ears of rabbits, according
to studies at Washington Uni
versity in St. Louis.
Dr.. Wriphts staff broke down
the whole tar into its acid, base

per cent of the tar.
The neutral tar was further
broken dow and tested.
At the present time, three tons
OF cigarette tobacco have been
smoked" TO obtain enough of
the active fractions to permit
further analysis.
The active fraction comprises
only Is per cent OF the whole
tar. but is composed of many
chemicals.
1t was noted that the cancer
causing activity of tobacco is in
huenced by the rate at which
the tobacco is burned.

Rosh Hashonah Prayers
Their Origin

have been successors to the sacri-
ficial cult. as observed in the Holy
Temple in Jerusalem. Hence.
many of the injunctions. laws and
descriptions of the sacrifices found
in the Bible and the Talmud are
part Of the Siddur text. There are
thus many items in the Siddur
which are descriptive Of 1srael's
historic past. For example. Jews
are great believers in the principle
Of "Z'chut Abot." the Merit of the
Fathers. Thus. when the prayer is
recited asking for divine inter-
cession because of the merits of
Abraham whose son. Isaac. was
spared the sacrificial knife. the
prayer is followed by the recital
of the beautiful Biblical narrative
describing the moving incident.
Because learning plays such an
important part in the life of the
Jewish people, many of the items
in the Siddur are neither prayers

ally, the rabbis had no objection
to prayers being recited in Ian
guages other than Hebrew. In
fact, Jewish legend relates that
the Ten Commandments at Mount
Sinai were uttered in 20 Ian
guages. The prayers are recited
primarily in Hebrew because it
was always strongly felt that this
was the unifying tongue of Jews
everywhere. It is to be noted that
as the Siddur, the Hebrew Prayer
Book, developed it became truly
an anthology of Hebrew litera-
ture.
One principle of the synagogue
ritual is the fact that the prayers

nor praises but actually of educa-
tional significance. AS the Jew re-
cites these segments as part of his
daily Sabbath and festival pray
erS, he is to learn something about
his past, his heritage, his purpose
in life.
Many are intrigued by the.
mystery of EIebraic names and
titles. The word ''Machzor. title
of the high holiday and festival
prayer book. is actually simple in
its connotation. II means cycle"
and refers TO the cycle of the year
during which the various observ-
ances Of the Hebrew calendar
take place. Originally. the term
"Machzor" was used to describe
the book of prayers. that is. Sid
dur. Later. the Siddur was the
term given TO the collection of
daily prayers while the Machzor
was that collection of routine
prayers to which had been added
many and varied poetical inser-
tions for use on the festivals and
high holidays.
The term Siddur, for the prayer
book, was chosen because it was
expected that one would put "in
order" the service he intended to
recite. The original reference to
the use of an Order of Prayer is
found in the Talmud where it is
indicated that God showed Moses
the order of prayer. ''The Lord
wrapped himself with Talit) as
the leader of a congregation and
showed Moses the Seder Hatfilah,
the Order of Prayers" Rosh
Hashonah 17b). The prayers, ac-
cording to this Talmudic refer
ence, had divine purpose. when
ever Israel will, let them carry
out the order of service and will
forgive them"
