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

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.
Dr. Johnson says.

Ike Better Cook, Wife

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.
Mamie Eisenhower Saturday held her first news conference since
the Republican National Convention picked General Ik as th party
standard bearer in th 1952 presidential campaign.
The meeting with women report

dint that generally i peaking " Ike's
painting is good.
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.

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.
