BERLIN, November 24.—Pure vita-} min D is & poison as well as a life- | saver. | This discovery was explained yesterday | as one result of the ‘“isolation” of a erystal which is pure vitamin D, an- nounced last week by Prof. Adolf Win- daus. Isolation means that the vitamin has been separated from all the other sub- stances in which it ordinarily exis . Prof. Windaus has a fragment of it absolutely pure form. He refused today to discuss his discovery, which required four years’ research, but he named as spokesman Prof. Carl Oppenheimer, a | Berlin editor of scientific publications. | i Relieves Rickets. i “The physiological effect of the vita- | min thus isolated,” said Prof. Oppen- | heimer, “are the same as those of sun- shing” “Three-billionths of a gram of the «-ystal is sufficient to relieve rick- €ts, the diet disorder which is caused by vitamin D deficiency.

NEW YORK, November 24 —The Herald Tribune says the Swedish Match Co. has completed arrangements to take over and operate the Federal Match Corporation, thereby engaging for the first time in the manufacture of matches in the United States. The action, the paper says it learned yesterday, is being taken through the Vulcan Match Co., wholly owned sub- sidiary of the International Match Co. | which, in turn, is_controlled by the Swedish Match Co. | New Tariff Rates Cited In obtaining control of the Federal Match Corporation, the Swedish Match crganization acquires factories in Bloomsburg and Bellefonte, Pa. and Duluth, Joliet and Spokane. The news- T | paper says it is understood that some| | of these factories will be altered for | the manutacture of safety matchres in boxes. Distribution will be urdertaken hrough the Vuican Match Co., which now is the principal means of distri- bution in this country for Swedish matches. The recently .adopted tariff bill rais- ing the tax on imported matches from 7 per cent to 20 per cent a gross of hoxes containing not more than -100 matches was said to be responsible for the Swedish company's action. The Vulcan Match Co., according to reports from Stockholm, the headquar- ters of the Swedish Match Co., will take over a new issue of 200,000 shares of 7 per cent preference shares of the Fed- eral Match Corporation at $20 a share. This $4,000,000 of new capital is re- ported to be in excess of Federal Match's requirement either as an in- dependent unit or as a part of the Swedish match organization. The total capital stock of the Fed- | eral corporation is less than $1,318.400, consisting of 52,251 shares of $6 pre- ferred stock and 47,584 shares of com- mon stock without par value, { Woman Falls Two Stories.

Cho- Jesterol is a substance related to rare *alcohols and is distributed widely in growing things. Windaus, however, learned that it | was not the cholesterol that changed | into vitamin D The vitamin came from another substance, _ergosterol, | which always accompanied the presence of cholesterol. Next he found that certain wave lengths of ultra-violet transform about 50 per cent of ergosterol into vitamin D and that the r-maining 50 per cent, which is not vitamin, is easily re- movable. The wave lengths making this 50 per cent conversion are those which reach the earth in sunlight. They are the ultra-violet rays down to 2,900 angstrom units, this unit being the scientific measuring rod for light impulses. Both artificial light and the sun produce ultra-violet rays much shorter and more powerful than the 2,900 kind, but those from the sun are filtered out by the atmosphere before reaching the earth’s surface.

During the long spell of good weather this Fall officials of the park division of the Office of Public Buildings have been able to get in an extensive amount of planting that will blossom next year in honor of the George Washington Bi- centennial celebration. Officials said today that 100,000 bulbs, including jon- quils, daffodils, tulips and others, have been planted throughout...the ~city's rks. The display of pansy plants near the Inlet Bridge in Potomac Park will be twice as effective next Spring as in 1931, officials asserted today, as 120,000 plants have been set in the great beds there. Nearly 70,000 additional flowers have been planted and additional bed space created. Miscellaneous planting has been go- Ing forward and in the Taft Recreation Center the work is expected to be com- pleted today. Landscaping also has been done in the lower garden in Meridian Hill Park.
