" GOLD MEDAL GIVEN TODR F.B.PONER ice in London. Dr. Frederick Belding Power, dis- tinguished research chemist of the Department of Agriculture, was pre- sented with a gold medal by Henry S. Wellcome of London at exercises held late yesterday afternoon in the auditorium of the Cosmos Club. The medal was given “in recognition of his distinguished services to science during eighteen and a half years as director of the Wellcome chemical re- search laboratories.” Dr. Charles D. Walcott of the Smith- sonia Institution presided, presenting the medal to Dr. Power on behalf of Mr. Wellcome, who was suffering from a throat affection and was un- able to address the meeting. Dr. cott was introduced by Dr. David rchild of the bureau of plant in- dustry. Dr. Walcott, in his presentation ad- dress, outlined for the notable gn!hé an. ering something of the life achievements of Dr. Power, among whose activities a study of the chaulmoogra oil. which gives promise of effecting a cure of leprosy. Dr. Power's Achievements. “We have gathered here this after- noon to do honor to Dr. Frederick Belding Power., who for fifty years s spent his thinking hours among e complicated molecules of organic compounds; who, because he possesses that peculiar faculty of exhausting each subject which he takes up, has had the greatest influence both in America and Great Britain in raising the standards of our pharmacopoeias; who has gained distinction by his most difficult and life-consuming re- searches into the chemical composi- tion of plant compounds,” said Dr. Walcott. “Dr. Power graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1874, in the same class with his life- long friend. Mr. Wellcome, who urged him to pursue his studies in Germany. He spent the vears from 1876 to 1880 in Strassburg, becoming the assist- ent of Flueckiger, one of the great- est pharmacologists of Europe. Re- turning to Am . he spent nine years in the organizing and building up of the department and school of pharmacy in the University of Wis- consin, four years in researches on essential oils in a newly organized chemical works near New York. and in 1896 Mr. Wellcome appointed him director of his chemical - research laboratories in London. May Have Leprosy Cure. . “For eight and one-half years he devoted his time exclusively to chemi- cal research and the direction of a staff of research workers under him. One hundred and fifty important scientific memoirs were published from the laboratorjes during this pe- riod. These covered a wide fleld of investigation, for which material was obtained from all parts of the world. Among th a very notable and gomplete stddy was made of the East Indian chaulmoogra oil, which re- sulted in iscovery of some physiologically aciVe acids of an en- tirely new type. These form the basis of the new treatment of leprosy which gives promise of affecting @ complete cure of one of the most ter- rible diseases of mankind. “During these years in London Dr. Power had the opportunity of meet- ing and forming the close friendship of the foremost scientific men of Great Britain. The recognition of his work by the leading chemists and other scientists of Europe would be perhaps exemplified in the high trib- ute paid to him. the late Lord Moulton, one of ‘most learned and versatile men in Europs, who was intrusted by Kitchener with the task of producing the high explosives for the war. Shortly before his deat! chided Dr. Wellcome for permitting Dr. Power (who for family reasons had returned to ‘America to leave Great Britain, for, as he remarked, ‘thers was no one in Europe who could fill his place. Awarded Hanbury Gold Medal “In 1908, the University of Wiscon- sin, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the“formation of its department of pharmacy, conferred upon Dr. Power, its founder, the de- gree of LL.D., and in 1913 the Chemi- cal, Linnean and Pharmaceutical so- cieties of London awarded him the Hanbury gold medal, a distinction ice previously bestowed upon . This was followed by the presentation of an illuminated ad- dress and an album containing the signatures of contributors from many parts of the world.” At this juncture Dr. Walcott turned toward Dr. Power, and said: “In recognition of your distin- guished services to science and commemoration of the yi ‘you spent as director of a laboratory devoted to chemical research, I have the homor to present to you, Dr. Fred- erick Belding Power, this gold med: of appreciation from your lifelong friend, Mr. Henry S. Wellcome, who, although with us this afternoonm, is unfortunately prevented by a severe throat affection from addressing us himself. He wishes to explain_in 10 Q St. N.w.

Men think that creed has little worth, and view it with a grin, for they not only want the earth, but want the fence thrown in. The more 3 humble mortal gets, the more he wants to own, and even when he’s rich he sweats to add another bone. This world would be a sad old vale, and life would be a fright, if people didn’t want to nail ‘most everything in sight. Invention would be lying dead, tits triumphs all unknown; man wouldn’t have his folding bed, his clock or telephone. Pale |Science wouldn’t scale the heights where now we see her trot, and we would miss the use- ful lights that cost so much a watt. All joy would see its epitaph, and nothing would amuse, and I would have no phonograph to play “The Fox- trot Blues.” Man wants the earth, and it is well that he should for it yearn; that he may see his bundle swell, he makes the pulleys turn; he hooks his wagon to a star, from sloth he {turns away, invents a gun or {motor car, or paints a “Stag at Bay.” When man quits want- ing fame and gold and every- thing in sight, this planet will be dead and cold, as Luna looks tonight.
