BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1931 KRAABEL CLARIFIES|X-Ray Aids Scientists in Changing Inherited Tendencies of Organisms WAR RISK INSURANCE DEADLINE PROBLEM Veterans’ Service Commission-| er for North Dakota Issues Statement Fargo, N. D., June 19.—(#)—Con- Siderable misunderstanding and con- fusion has arisen over the significance and effect of the deadline date of July 3, 1931, on the maturing of war risk jnsurance by suit, T. O. Kraabel, veterans’ service commissioner, said ‘Thursday. ‘The date has no reference to vet- rans’ claims for disability compen- sation, disability allowance, pension, adjusted service compensation, and converted government life insurance, he said. Outlining the matter further, he explained: The date does, however, mark the termination of the period within which suits may be brought against the government for permanent-total disability benefits of the original war risk term insurance which covered the men during the war. This limitation is suspended for the period elapsing between the filing at the Veterans’ Bureau of the claim sued upon and the denial of such by the bureau authorities. All claims for these benefits must be made on forms and filed at the veterans’ bureau, Fargo, N. D., before July 3, 1931, forms being obtainable at the bureau. Veterans entitled to make these claims are those who feel they are, or have been officially rated by the ‘bureau to be permanently and totally disabled from some disease or injury incurred in service during the World war, and who have not been able to carry on with a gainful occupation continuously since discharge hecause of the effects of the said disease or injury. ‘The claim is based upon the orig- inal war risk insurance contract is- sued during service and it is not necessary that this insurance be re- instated or converted after discharge. Claims arising for death or perma- nent-total disability benefits on gov- ernment life insurance contracts arc} not affected by the above named pro- vision, Suggests Cheaper Way| For Oiling of Swine “Many hog breeders purchase ex- pensive hog oilers which require axle grease or crude oil for their operation. ‘These are entirely unnecessary,” says Al Severson, animal husbandryman, of the agricultural college. Discarded crankcase oil applied periodically with an ordinary garden sprinkler serves the purpose satisfactorily, while the expense is hardly worth mentioning. “Jt will be necessary to punch large holes in the sprinkler because of the consistency of the oil, or the oil may be warmed to a lighter co‘sistency. Discarded motor oll is so cheap that {t may be freely used in keeping down the dust in the field cots or » ‘A good management practice is to wrap a few old burlap sacks to a Scientists are continuously at work trying to learn more of the mechanics of life. The X-ray has many uses, but none, per- haps, exceeds in interest its em- ployment by-biologists as the tool by which inherited tendencies of plants and animals may be changed. Dr. Reginald G. Harris tells the story in the following ar- ticle—one of a series on “What's Going on in the World Today.” By DR. REGINALD G. HARRIS (Director, the Biological Labora- tory, Cold Spring Harbor) (Copyright, 1931) Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., June 19.—()—Producing more or less strange new f¥pes in animals and plants oftener than they would ordinarily arise is one of the most interesting developments in biolo- gy. This is done by certain light waves. Biologists have found almost any animal or plant brought into the laboratory, or cultivated ex- tensively, will produce new forms from ttme to time. The changes they show are inherited and are called mutations. These mutations, of course, are the basis of many of the varieties of domesticated animals, dogs for example, and of plants, such as corn, They are considered one of the chief causes of evolution. Many Experiments Fail Many experiments to bring about mutations, by changing ex- ternal conditions, have failed. But lately it has been found that | the frequency with which a given animal or plant will mutate may be considerably increased. by. treatments with X-rays or with radium emanations. Thus in the | fruit fly, which has been used ex- tensively for experiments in her- edity, X-rays have increased the rate of mutation 500 times. Biologists have found one of the tools by which inherited tenden- cies may be changed. Prof. H. J. Muller of the Uni- versity of Texas is one of the bi- ologists who has outstandingly demonstrated this, although a number of biologists in different laboratories are working with this method and already have added many data concerning various animals and plants. The optside part (cortex) of the suprarenal glands is giving up its secret as a result of scien- tific research by biologists. Ex- tracts of this gland have been produced in the laboratory, which give the sufferer from Addison's disease a new lease on life. Un- til recently. a person afflicted ‘| with Addison's disease had little | provides a rubbing post for the hogs and at the same time serves as an oiler, Oil will kill lice and prevent scurfiness of the skin.

TWEED SUITS CHEAP Manchester, England, June 19.—(#) —Tweed suits $2.26 each! Sydney Elborne, conservative candidate for parliament in a bye-election, is show- | ing them as an argument for tariff. They are made in Poland, he says, and thousands are on the way to to look forward to but the worst. Tests made at the Mayo clinic with an extract from beef su- prarenal glands give the patient considerably more hope. Still Is Mystery But what the outside of the suprarenal gland usually does to keep most of us from) Addison’s disease and death was still not known. Recent experiments seem to be pointing the way to the an- swer, and that seems to be con- cerned with internal breathing. All cells of the body breathe with the aid of the blood. They take oxygen, from the blood and give back carbon dioxide. When the cortex of the suprarenal gland is not working right, it now appears from experiments, the blood will not receive carbon di- oxide from the cells as it should. ‘There are many biologists and many laboratories who deserve credit in researches upon the su- prarenal cortex. The extract used at the Mayo clinic is the discov- ery of Doctors W. W. Single and J. J. Pfiffner, The University of Towa, the biological laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y., and Princeton university have all served as places in which these men have carried on their re- searches. Other recent developments in biology are discoveries of potent extracts of the female sex glands, and of the male sex glands; great advance in the knowledge of the functions of the pituitary gland in controlling growth and the ap- pearance of sexual maturity; and additional information concern- ing the structure and reactions of protoplasm, the physical basis of life. Twice the Help! | Many things people take for constipa- tion do only half as much for them as Cascarets would do. For Cascarets are made from cascara, which any doctor will tell you acts not only on the lower bowel but the upper one as well. And it actually strengthens the muscles of the bowels. So the quick, pleasant relief Cascarets bring when you're bilious, dizzy, headachy and constipated, 4s lasting relief! Take a candy Cascaret tonight and see how that coated tongue clears up; how r breath is sweetened; eyes are brightened and your entire system is strengthened. 20 million boxes used yearly is proof of their popularity!

Lockwood, only sur- vivor of the famous last man’s club, Thursday said there will not be another meeting. He said he would not go to Stillwater, Minn., to face 33 empty chairs, symbolic of dead comrades of Company B, First Minnesota Civil war volun- teer infantry. He said the final meeting was held last year, when the bottle of wine reserved for the last sur- vivor was opened. The reunion was held annually on July 21.
