3 The S tatman, Salem, Oregon, Sunday. July 13, 1952 Science Finds Cause For Hangovers, But Still Hunts Easy Cure By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Reporter PRINCETON, N. J. (-Science now knows a chemical reason why humans get hangovers. The reason suggests a cure, too but the cure would be worse than the hangover. The horrors of the hangover come from what alcohol does to en zymes. Enzymes are vital chemicals that make the machinery of living cells tick in normal lasmon- There are enzymes in all cells of your body. The enzymes get tackled by the excess alcohol of too much drink ing. The alcohol wedges itself into empty spaces inside the enzyme molecule and the enzyme is blocked or taken out of action. The cell can't carry on its normal chemical reactions, thus leading to the headachy, butterfly and despairing effects of the hangover. Theoretically, the cure would be to squeeze the alcohol out of the enzymes. But that would take tons f pressure. And would be more than a bit lethal. Better, as yet, to put up with the hangover, which wears off in time. The hangover explanation comes Free Book on Arthritis And Rheumatism HOW TO AVOID CRIPPUNQ DEFORMITIES An amazing newly enlarged 44 page book entitled "Rheumatism" will be sent free to anyone who will write for it. It reveals why drugs and medi cines give only temporary relief and fail to remove the causes of the trouble; explains a specialized non-surgical, non-medical treat ment which has proven, successful for the past 33 years. You incur no obligation in send ing for this instructive book. It may be the means of saving you years of untold misery. Write to day to The Ball Clinic, Dept. 2612, Excelsior Springs, Missouri. as a by-product of research by Dr. Frank H. Johnson, physical chemist in Princeton University's department of biology. Dr. Johnson is studying life in its basic form, the molecules of the living cell. He is learning what effects heat, light and pres sure have on chemical reactions of cells, and what drugs do to en zymes. The knowledge may aid in finding differences in enzymes of normal and cancerous cells, or ex plain some other puzzles of disease and health. A useful look in these studies Is luminescent bacteria, which shine with cold light. The light comes from the reaction of a chemical called luciferin, and is sparked by the enzyme lucif erase. If hydraulic pressure is applied evenly over some of these bac teria, the pressure squeezes alco hol out of the enzymes. The chemical reaction from this makes the bacterial cells light up. When the pressure is released, alcohol floods back again into the empty spaces of the enzyme and the light goes out. Fireflies turn the enzyme activ ity off and on in this manner to produce their blinker lights. Heat expands the enzymes, mak ing the empty spaces bigger, and under heat at normal pressure it's easier for alcohol to wedge into the enzyme. That is one reason why peopel can't drink as much liquor in summer as In winter.

Ike Better Cook, Wife Tells News Women By RUTH COWAN CHICAGO JP) Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower concedes that her husband is a better cook than she is. But she doesn't think much -of the pictures he has painted of her in faca- be has given up trying.

But his efforts to paint her por trait hav not been successful. "I was his first subject and that picture was a lu-lu," sh said. Sh told of the day several years ago when they were living st Fort Myer, Va. that Eisenhower decided to try to paint her portrait She had a narrow pink ribbon bow in her hair "It was a bow Just so big" with thumb and fin ger sh measured about two inches. "When h got through it was huge. She held her hand before her head indicating the bow must hav grown about a foot. A reporter mentioned a portrait Eisenhower had done of Brig. Gen. Tony Blddl on his NATO staff fh Paris. "That portrait started out as a tree," Mrs. Eisenhower laughed. Ik got started painting after watching a friend at work and asking if he could have th pallet of left-over paints. Then h asked Muni to find "a rag, thumb tacks and a board." The rag, sh con fided, was an old dishcloth. And that is the basis of that first portrait of her. INVITED TO LAUNCHING! WASHINGTON UP) John L.

It understood, however, that Western Union and other rearma ment commitments will make it unlikely that such troop-carrying helicopters will be made available to Malaya for some time. New Tenant Leaves With Deputy Guard LAPEER, Mich. (J) Sheriff Clark Gregory withdrew his armed deputies Saturday from the 80 acre Stevens farm, scene of Lapeer County's latest and roughest evic tion battle, and with them went the newly-installed tenant on the property. "There has been nothing to in dicate there will b further trou ble," the sheriff said. But Richard Newman, 25-year-old Flint fireman, who took over the property after Friday's evic tion battle, apparently didn't aeree. He clamped a paaiock on the front door and left in the wake of the deputies. Rumors of counterattacks by farmer sympathizers of Mrs. Eliz abeth Stevens, who was dragged away screaming and fighting, have kept the area in a stat of ten sion. The armed deputies had been on guard since the eviction was completed. In withdrawing them, the sheriff said he had fulfilled his legal duty by ousting the widowed mother of nine children. Shortly after withdrawing his men. Sheriff Gregory reported an "unidentified party" had called him from Detroit, saying that ar rangements had been made to buy the farm from Mrs. Grac Whit of Lapeer, who bought it at a court-ordered auction ani 'return it to th evicted widow. Mrs. White, a Lapeer attorney and herself a widow, refused an offer last week of th (500 sh had paid for th farm; plus six per cent interest. Sb said this failed by far to cover her court costs and other expenses in trying to gain possession. Angry farmers, who hav wag ed a 1 -year fight against th assessments growing out of th failure of an insurance association, hav rworn to put the 60-year-old widow back on her farm. U. S.
