Dr. Williams Discovers
Acid for Growth

Significant Finding
<
An account of the discovery of
a new growth-promoting acid,
found by Dr. Roger J. Williams
and Dr. Carl M. Lyman of Oregon
State college, was recently a fea
tured article in the New York
Times. Dr. Williams was a pro
fessor at the University until last
year, when he was transferred to
Corvallis. The report of the dis
covery was read at the meeting
of the American Chemical society
in Chicago recently.
This acid, which has been named
panothenic acid, meaning “found
everywhere," was discovered in all
living substances from the lowest
bacteria to human beings and, ac
cording to the Times, is so power
ful that a single drop hastens the
growth of yeast even if diluted in
250 gallons of liquid.

A Paramount Picture
of the acid has not yet been defi
nitely determined, it is thought
that it is made of carbon, hydro
gen, and oxygen. An important
characteristic of the new sub
stance is that, while it speeds the
growth of other matter, it does
not change itself. It is thought
that this discovery may have a
great deal to do with the growth
of malignant cells, such as in the
case of cancer, and will thus play
an important part in medicine and
biological chemistry.
According to Dr. O. F. Stafford,
i head of the chemistry department
] at the University, Dr. Williams
J completed nearly all cf his re
I search work while at Oregon.
Discovery Significant
“The importance of this discov
| ery is its significance in the prob
lem of growing. Dr. Williams has
I found what might be termed a
new growth principle,” said Dr.
Stafford.
Dr. F. L. Shinn, professor of
I chemistry, stated, “It was while
Dr. Williams was trying to isolate
the growth constituent of rice
seeds that he hit upon the fact
that this acid was also found in
the other living substances.”
Articles concerning Dr. Wil
liams’ and Dr. Lyman’s findings
were also published in recent is
sues of Time and Science.
LOOKING AT THE ORIENT
(Continued from Page Two)
year war practically wrecked that
| part of the world.
“In my judgment, if Japan were
| to engage in a war with England
| over Singapore and trade compe
i tition, or with the United States
j over the various sentimental and
j unrealistic causes of friction be
tween the two countries, or with
Soviet Russia, it would be a five
or six-year war and there would
be no Japanese civilization left at
the end of it.
“There are many sane and
thoughtful, liberal people in Japan,
but the military element is now in
control dreaming the same kind of
romantic dreams that such element
indulges in on slight provocation
in any country.
“I want to say, however, that
the Japanese, high and low, offi
cial and non-official, all treated us
with the very height of friendly
courtesy. At one place we were
the guests of a very earnest group
of . officials and civilians called
“The International Friendly socie
ty.” It is very evident that the
same kind of work of good inter
national relationships and for the
peaceful solution of problems is
going on in Japan that goes on in
our own country, and also against
the same type of discouragements,
big navy programs, etc., that pre
vail in this country.
“I am tired of the talk of the
“little brown men.” The Japanese
are a highly cultivated, highly or
ganized, civilized nation, with a
literacy percentage of 99.5, which
is higher than that of most of our
states.
“The kind of people we met most
of were high-minded, intelligent,
idealistic, liberal minded people,
with many generations of civilized
thought and culture behind them.

Foreign Menace
The principal character in “The
Song of Songs,” which opens at
the Mac tomorrow, is the statue,
so they say, but fdr college men it
will probably be Marlene herself.
Story concerns a peasant las?
who falls for a sculptor, and vice
versa, so the sculptor sculps her
into the statue. Comes an “ogre
like” baron and falls in love with
the statue, but nothing but the
gal herself will do. He marries
her, and the troubles begin.
How do I know how it ends?
' I won't see it until Monday.
Other show is “Good-bye Again’’

mystery. Other show at the State
is “Nagana,” which introduces
Tala Birell who was seen in "The
Lost Battalion’’ a while back.
Two football shows in keeping
with the time of year are showing
at the Colonial. "Rackety Rax,”
is a takeoff on racketeers, and

football is a racket.
“The All-American” seeks to
prove that the old timers will win
out over the younger blades. A
flock of all-American players of
the past few years makes this
show of more than average inter

(Continued from Page One)
on the campus that year,” stated
Dr. Smith. “So unusual that many
people thought her queer. I know
of no other student that was ever
so interested in learning things—
everything- but especially natural
history.
“She had considerable collections
of rocks, minerals, butterflies, and
various insects, and was constant
ly adding to her collection. She
went to schools and before groups
of young people, had children’s
classes in lumber camps, and
spoke and taught about the win
ders of natural history.
“She wrote considerably. Some
years ago, her diary, supposedly
written while she was quite young,
w-as published in the Atlantic
Monthly.”
Dr. Smith pointed out that she
was the most independent student
he has ever met. “She never com
pleted the work mapped out by the
department, but took what she
wanted and left everything else,
regardless of academic require
ments.
“She had a striking personality,
and when interested in a subject,
her very dark, unusual eyes would
blaze with the desire for knowl
edge.”
There are some who claim Opal
Whiteley is a genius—some that
she is mad. Philosophers say that
genius is akin to madness.
TF the 576 freshmen who arrived
on the scene of action last week
expected the gay pace of their
first days on the campus to con
tinue, they are becoming disillu
sioned—slowly perhaps- but sure
ly! Classes are well under way.
and the library is full of rather
bewildered students trying to solve
the question, “What is an essay?"
or enlightening themselves as to
the climatic conditions of the
tropics.
Those who are now members of
fraternities are learning the
phrase. “Freshman, do this" and
“Freshman, do that.” In some of
the houses this first week is
“courtesy week,” and the new
comers are making the most of
it, for soon there will be peace
for none.

Tobaccos grown in
this country are “seasoned”
with tobaccos from
Turkey and Greece
THE ANSWER IS VERY SIMPLE:
TOBACCOS to taste right in a
cigarette need to be flavored or
seasoned just the same as you might
season a steak or a pudding.
No tobaccos have ever been found
that equal the spicy aromatic tobac
cos of Turkey and Greece for this
purpose. That’s why we send 4000
miles for aromatic tobaccos from Sam
soun and Smyrna,Xanthi and Cavalla.
When blended and cross-blended
in just the right amounts with Chest
erfield’s mild ripe Domestic tobac
cos, the result is a rich flavor and a
fine fragrance.
Chesterfields are seasoned right—
they taste right. May we suggest
you try them.

Comic Operetta
Open to Studentg
Vic Bryant to Direct Production!
Solo, Chorus Parts Available
For All Interested 9
Tryouts for a comic operetta
to be given late in the term, will
be open to students interested, an
nounced Vic Bryant, senior in mu
sic and campus tenor, who will dl
| rect the operetta.
Anyone with musical ability is
asked to see Bryant at Westmin
ster house between 10 and 11 any
day next week.
Solo parts are available for so
pranos, mezzos, alto, tenors, and
i baritones, and there are enough
parts in the choruses to take care
of all students interested. A num
ber of clever character parts,
which will require dramatic as
weli as musical ability, feature the
operetta.
Although the operetta is spon
sored by Westminster association,
the director wishes to stress the
fact that the cast is to be chosen
from all campus students who
show an interest. The operetta
selected is a light, intriguing com
edy which should not be too diffi
cult for those without experience
in operetta work.
Julius IZuscl, senior in business
administration, will be business
manager for the operetta; Hazle
Corrigan will handle publicity; and
Mrs. J. D. Bryant, hostess of
Westminster house, will act as
stage manager.
