(UPI) Drinking of Carrot Juice Said Useless Form of Therapy By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York (UPI) Nutrition scientists will never under stand the worship of the car rot by food . faddists. To them it is not a very attrac tive vegetable aesthetical 1 y, , ni.n, Willi 113 elongated j shape and its color, nor Ls it in anyway i .J maffiral nnlri. Del" !,mUh tionally. And it has a very definite drawlack. Eat enough car rots or drink enough carrot juice as a regular thing, and your skin will turn a carrot like yellow. The word for it is, hypercarotenemia, and it is getting so that when prac ticing physicans see yellow skin they say, carrots! Express Amazement Dr. Ira A. Abrahamson and his son Dr. Ira A. Jr., of Cin cinnati. Ohio, are the newest to express amazement at the carrot craze, in a medical sci ence organ of the American Medical Association. They are eye doctors and they were ex amining a child with crossed eyes. The mother watched, hold ing a nine-months-old baby. They couldn't help noticing the babe's yellowish skin, and one of them asked, how much carrot juice are you giving that infant? A pint a day, the mother re plied, and she's been getting it since she was a month old! Naturally the next medical question was, what's the idea? To prevent her second child from having crossed eyes like her first, the mother said. Most Useless Therapy In one day the Abraham sons had two animated yel low skins walk into their of fice. One was a 74-year-old woman, and to the opening question, how much carrot juice have you been drinking? &ne replied, one and a half pints a day for two years. The other was a 50-year-old man. He was proud of his devoted wife. Every day for a year and a half she had ground up enough carrots to make two quarts of juice for him to drink. In both cases the idea was to improve vision. But in both cases vision had been impaired by cataracts and it improved when the cataracts were removed. Needless to say, carrots do nothing for cataracts. "Although not the most ex pensive form of therapy, drinking carrot juice is prob ably the most useless, and it should be condemned," the Abrahamsons remarked. But they granted it was harmless. Delays Corrective Meaiures When people with carrot yellowed skin abstain from carrots their skin slowly re turns to Its normal color. The Abrahamsons wanted carrot addiction "condemned" be- cause it delays the aonlica- tion of workable corrective measures to visual defects. The factual basis for the superstition that carrots are eye food'" is that the carrot is rich in carotene, which is a pigment manufactured by a number of plants. The plants use it to color their fruits. The tomato is another vegetable which owes its color to carotene. Chemically carotene is sev eral steps along the path to ward vitamin A. In human body chemistry carotene is pushed the rest of the way into that vitamin which among other tasks, maintains the sharpness of vision. But happily for the carrot wor shipers, the conversion rate is a very slow one and this prevents vitamin A intoxica tion and consequent sickness. Everyone needs vitamin A in his diet, of course, but the needed amount is quite small and it is abundantly present in most vegetables (and not only in the carrot and tomato) and also in milk.

I I Acquisition Notei West Visualizes Day His Will Be in By DICK WEST Washington lUPII - The week ly information bulletin pub lished by the Library of Con gress contains a section lab eled "acquisi tion note s." Usually, the notes impart the tidings that some body or other has presented to the library a collection of personal pap ers to have had and to hold, and to cher ish forever. The papers ordinarily con sist of old letters, scrapbooks, Set This Week End It is advisable to wear hiking boots, long trousers, a warm sweater, and a cap, Bennett said. One also should bring his lunch and if possible bring a back pack for easier hiking. This is the last chance to take advantage of the week end outings this summer, Ben nett said, and the trip is open to anyone who wants to go. Some transportation is available. m AS Ill 3 "ikftr, I Why settle lo, lc, when II Library of Congress clippings and other miscel lany that the donor, who hated to throw anything away, had been accumulat ing for several generations. They are placed on file in the library, thereby enriching that institution's storehouse of trivia while at the same time providing the donor with a certain sense of immortality. I am not certain as to the procedure used in these ac quisitions. In other words, I do not know whether the li brary calls up someone and says "May we have your pap ers?' or whether someone calls up the library and says "Would you like to have these papers?" My guess is that in some cases the procedure has been for the donor to sidle up to the library under cov er of darkness, deposit his papers on the doorstep, and run.

Papers However that may be, I think that presenting one's personal papers to the library is a splendid thing to do. I certainly intend to see that the library gets my papers, and I suggest that you do likewise. By shutting my eyes real tight, and putting my hands over my ears, I can already visualize what my "acquisi tion note" will look like. On the day that it appears in the information bulletin: "Dick West, who repre sents himself as a newspaper man, has presented to the Library of Congress a sub stantial bundle of his per sonal papers, loosely bound between covers of genuine cardboard. "Although they have been neither catalogued nor in dexed, the papers appear to consist of material that Mr. West regarded as education al and had put aside for fu ture reference.
