CHEMICALS USED | | TOCURE INSANITY Cornell Scientist Finds Va- rious Forms of Dementia Yield to Compounds. By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mick., October 5.—In- sanity may be ylelding to the assauits of science, directed by physical chem- Lsts. Dr. Wilder D. Bancroft of Cornell! University, noted chemist, has pre- sented evidence to show that some forms of insanity may be caused by either one of two chemical conditions affecting the brain and nerves, and that these forms of insanity have re- sponded to neutralizing chemical treat- ment. Dr. Bancroft, who is editor of the Journal of Physical Chemistry, told of his researches at the eighth annual meeting of the American Chemical So- ciety, which ended Saturday night at University of Michigan. He outlined evi- dence indicating insanity could be pro- duced in rmal persons by adminis- tration of chemical compounds, and that some insare persons could be re- lieved and made at least temporarily sane by administering the same come pounds. Chemicals Produce Disorders. Sodium _thiocyanate, & common | chemical, has been known to produce i hallucinations and ideas of oppression in normal individuals, Dr. Bancroft said. Likewise, the form of insanity known as involutional melancholia may be produced by this compound. He id patients suffering from catatonic stupor have been cured by administra- tion of sodium amatol, while others ap- peared o have been relieved when so- dium thiocyanate was given. New Chairman INTERIOR SOLICITOR’S OFFICE VACANCY FILLED. ALVAH W. PATTERSON. Appointment of Alvah W. Patterson of Oregon to fill the post of chairman of the Board of Appeals in the solici- tor's office was announced today by the Department of the Interior. Mr. Pat- terson has been & member of the' de- partment'’s legal staff since 1901 and a member of the Board of Appeals since 1921. The office of chairman was re- cently left vacant by the death of Judge George B. Gardner of Kentucky. John P. McDowell of Illinois has been selected to fill Mr. Patterson's former position on the board. Mr. Mc- Dowell was associated with the General Land Office from 1904 until 1917, when he was tranferred to the solicitor's division. He is an authority on public land law and procedure. Dr. Bancroft advanced the conclu- sion that in some forms of insanity | a coagulation of brain and nerve pro- | tein occurs, while in others, a disper- | sion of protein takes place. In demen- tia praecox, paranoid, mania depres- | sion and epilepsy, a slight coagulation of protein has taken place in the brain, or parts of it, he said; therefore, a chemical agent. which has the opposite or dispersing efect on proteins should work toward a cure of the insane con- dition. Anti-Narcotic Agent. This, Dr. Bancroft said, has been, DR. FRANCE DOUBTS COOLIDGE IS OUT| Jockeying for Position in Case| Hoover Is Denied Nomination, Candidate Asserts. By the Associated Press. !

Byrnes of South Carolina yesterday characterized the Farm Board's offer ;4o release wheat and cotton stores to national relief agencies as “silly and ridiculous.” “The move is typical of other foolish moves of the board,” Senator Brynes said. He contended farmers are now “suffering as a result of the Farm #Board’s previous activities.” o Extremists Attack Veterans.
