' C—10 VITAMIN SHADOW REVEALED IN FOOD “A” Represented in Spec- trometer by Black Band Among Colors. By the Assoclated Press. AMES, Towa, June 9.—A little black band among the colors of the spectrum can tell you now whether the food you eat contains vitamin A, which promotes growth and forestalls nutrition. Until recently the discovery of. the presence of vitamin A in & food re- quired the tedicus business of feeding the food to experimental rats for about three months, while the rats’ growth and reactions were carefully noted. But now J. B. Phillipson and Dr. J. W. Woodrow of the Iowa State College physics department can determine the approximate vitamin A content of a cer- tain food within a few minutes. Similar Effects Revealed. Their experiments reveal that every substance known to contain the growth- producing vitamin absorbs the same rays of ultra-violet light when exam- ined by a spectrometer. In the spectrometer, light is broken into its ccmponent rays of different wave lengths by a prism. By using a quartz prism the ultra-violet rays were allowed to pass through. When substances containing vitamin are subjected to a test, District Cadet GRADUATES FROM ADVANCED FLYING SCHOOL. WILLIAM P.

By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, June 9.—An anti- war demonstration and protest against the appearance of Gen. Douglss Mc- Arthur as the commencement speaker at the University of Pittsburgh was stopped by police yesterday. Two students and a former student were taken to a police station. They were removed from the university activities building while preparing to hold a meeting. A group of students recently protested the engagement of Gen. McArthur, Army chief of staff, as the commence- ment speaker. Chancellor John G. ‘Brown of the university disregarded the protest and said the group represented & small percentage of the student body. ‘The commencement exercises were held in the athletic stadium. Ten city detectives were detailled to duty there, while thousands gathered to hear Gen. McArthur. ENDOW CULVER ACADEMY Heirs Dissolve Ownership and Set Aside Permanent Trust. CULVER.

The shadow is due to the vitamin A absorbing these ultra-violet rays. Their experiments were performed with animal or vegetable oils placed in & small vessel with quartz sides, through which the light shone before entering the spectrometer. Vegetables Show Shadow. Among the canned vegetables exam- fned by the physicians, it was found that tomatoes and spinach were the only ones showing the vitamin A shad- ow. Oranges and fish liver oils also showed it. Dr. Woodrow found the black band in the spectrum while working with cod liver oil at Oxford University, where he held a Guggenheim fellowship in 1927 and 1928. “I did not know that what the band wes,” Dr. Woodrow said, “but bio- chemist working with fish at the Uni- versity of Liverpool found the band was ebsorbed by the vitamin.” The new technique is being used frequently in England to detect the presence of the vitamin in different fish oils.

KLINGE:: FIRMLY AND COMFORTABLY Silence may be golde « . . but is that why other cigarette advertising is generally silent on this question? HEN the truth hurts—it’s only natural to avoid the subject! Inhaling has long been an “untouchable” topic in cigarette ad- vertising. And no wonder! In every tobacco leaf—even the finest, the mildest—nature hides certain impurities which, when not removed, are unkind to delicate membranes! And since, knowingly or unknowingly, every smoker inhales some part of the smoke from his or her cigarette, Lucky Strike developed that - great scientific process which removes certain impurities. Luckies created that process. Only Luckies have it! Do you inhale? More than 20,000 physicians, after Luckies had been furnished them for tests, basing their opinions on their smoking experience, stated that Luckies are less irritating to the throat than other cigarettes. “It’s toasted” Vour\ Protection — against irritation — aga inst cough 0.
