Soidy THE EVENIN “Sympathin, 8 RESPONSIBLE GLOUCESTER SALTS' NEOR BLUSHIG I8 DISCOVERED [z " Similar to Adrenalin in Its|ye foienizea Behavior, Described to Scientists by Dl‘. Cannon BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Discovery of a new chemical secretion which circulates in the blood and mimics the behavior of that part of the nervous system which controls the un- conscious behavior of the body in_its effects was announced before the Na- tional Academy of Sciences this morn- ing by Dr. Walter B. Cannon, pro- fessor of physiology at Harvard Uni- versity. ; ‘This new substance is secreted by the smooth muscles. . These are the muscles of the internal organs as differentiated from the striped muscles of the limbs and skeleton. These get their nerve supply from the so-called “sympathetic” nervous system which lies outside the central nervous system and is respon- sible for such things as glandular se- cretions, sweating, blushing, of heart beat, etc. Dr. Cannon calls his new substance “sympathin.” It is secreted in two forms which have opposite effects, just as the two divisions of the sympathetic system have opposite effects. One kind is secreted when the smooth muscle is made to contract. This gets into the blood stream and causes excitatory effects throughout the range of the sympathetic system. The other secreted when the smooth muscles is made to relax and causes inhibitory effects. Acts Like Adrenalin. In its excitatory phase sympathin be- haves similarly to the celebrated adren- alin which is secreted from the adrenal gland, and the discovery of which was one of the outstanding developments in | modern medicine. Dr. Cannon at first thought that sympathin and adrenalin were identical until he discovered the inhibitory effects of the former sub- stance. ~ Adrenalin never has shown such effects. The isolation of a crystalline protein from pepsin which was able to digest with great rapidity other proteins—as they are digested in the stomach—was reported by Dr. John H. Northrop of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. Discovery of what apparently is new hormone from the anterior lobe of | the pituitary gland at the base of the | brain was reported by Herbert M. Evans of the Rockefeller Institute. Two power- | ful chemicals are obtained from this part of the pituitary. One controls growth. The other has important effects on sexual development. The new substance does not have either of | these effects when used alone but greatly increases the potency of one of them when mixed with it. The ordinary person sitting quietly loses In weight about 30 grams per hour, dye chiefly to vaporization of water from the lungs and skin, it was| reported by Dr. Francis G.

A “sport” differs in some Tespect from its parents and is able to reproduce the difference in its descend- ants. Ordinarily such differing indi- viduals are less well adapted than parents and soon perish. The law nature is that only the fittest individ- uals survive, so that races tend to re- main stable. “But,” said Dr. Morfan, “in nature there may be times when natural selec- tion is in al . This gives an op- portunity for many mutant types to| survive. The human race now appears to be in this condition, especially the more civilized races. It allows great variability. Many combinations occur, as when a healthy body is married to a sound mind. Out of this condition something better may emerge which, when competition again sets in, may replace the present types. Melting Pot May Be Costly. ) “Relaxation of competition may not always be disadvantageous if it is fol- lowed by a period of severe competition. The melting pot may be a costly ad- venture. That vast numbers of animals and plants are degenerate with respect to more complex ancestral types is an outstanding feature of evolution. There evolution backward as well as for- ward. ‘The evolutionary theory of descent with modifications, Dr. Morgan said,” is the only rational explanation of a wide range of well ascertained facts. The history of evolution is of the same order as that the Mayflower brought the Pil- grim Fathers to the New World. The extant, written record of their arrival is not very different from the record of the rocks as revealed by paleontology. There is no good reason to suppose that evolution stopped when man appeared:-] There is strong evidence that evolution is going forward and backward today as in the past.” One of the puzzleswhich Darwin and the older evolutioniSts were unable to answer satisfactorily, Dr. Morgan said, was how a race with new features could appear out of an old one. But, he said, today geneticists working with fruit flies are combining species on a large scale to produce hundreds of new types, some of which are self-perpetuating. The mysterious cosmic rays which bombard the earth from outer space were declared by Prof. Robert A. Milli- kan and Dr. I. S. Bowen of the Califor- nia Institute of Technology to comprise by far the greater part of the total radiant energy in the universe. Less than half the energy total comes from the heat and light of the stars, said In our own star sys- tem, in which the sun is only one of thousands and millions of stars, he ex- plained, the cosmic ray radiant energy is nearly equal to all other forms. New “Heavy Water” Process. Beyond our own star system, in the spaces between it and the innumerable the cosmic rays presumably are just as intense, but by the time the light and heat of the stars reach those regions of space they must be only & fraction of what they are inside our | galaxy. Hence the cosmic rays must make up most of the energy. Discovery of & new way of making not be measured directl: Man may be enjoying cvolutionary | holiday. A} least the civilized portion of the human race was pictured by Prof. Thomas Hunt Morgan of the California Institute of Technology as in the midst of & respite from the hard law of the far-reaching effects on the race of the future. Prof. Morgan, past president of the academy and one of the world’s foremost authorities on genctics, de- scribed last night the knowledge of the mechanism of heredity, which has been gleaned largely from experiments with the fruit fly, a creature almost ideally adapted for this purpose. But essen tially the same laws which govern in- heritance in the fruit fly apply to the entire animal and plant kingdoms, in- cluding man. One of the latest discoveries is con- cerning the ways so-called “sports” are @ At Your Dealer or Phone NAtional 3021-3022 vast quantities of “heavy water” was described by Dr. E. W.

The effect is due, Dr. Swingle believes, to some substance similar to an animal hormone which is stored in the seed and varies according to the cross. In some way it is able to permeate from the seed, or embryonic plant, and affect fruit which is formed from the the ltel.ll of the mother tree. Thus an ap- parent hereditary effect is produced im- mediately, without waiting for the next IC*I%!:“DIL current medical concept of acid- osis, believed to be the basis of many human ailments, was dealt a hard blow by Dr. Yandell Henderson, professor of physiology at Yale. It has been sup- posed that this condition arises from an excessive formation of acids in the body, causing a decrease in the alka- linity of the blood. The acid chiefly concerned 1is lactic acid, which is formed in the process of metabolism. Prof. Henderson and his associate, Dr. Leon A. Greenberg, first gave some ex- perimental animals a small dose of a drug known as monolodoacetic acld, which prevents the formation of lactic acid. They found that when they re- duced the oxygen supply of such an animal it showed all the physiological symptoms of high acidity, but without the formation of any increased amount of lactic acid. That the state known as “acidosis” is not due to intoxication by the excessive formation of acid in the body, Dr. Henderson said, is also shown by the fact that administration of alkalies to patients with such an acid disease as diabetes has no good effect and gen- 2rally has been abandoned by physicians. A prehistoric Mississippi flood markedly altered the map of the central United States, it was reported by Dr. F. E. Matthes of the Geological Survey. As & resuit of this flood, he said, the Mis- sissippi and Ohio Rivers come together 200 miles north of their original point of confluence and the entire drainage system of 17,000 square miles was changed. This flood, he said, came late in the last ice age. An important contribution to the chemistry of cancer growth was re- ported by Dr. Carl Voegtlin of the Na- tional Institute of Health. He found that malignant growths have a special capacity for transforming injected sugars into lactic acid, thus increasing | the acidity of the system. The most recent results obtained by | the magneto-optical method of analysis were reported by Prof. Fred Allison of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. By this extremely complicated and delicate device, he said, it has been possible to detect substances which occur in the ratio of only a few parts in 10 thrillion.

Flwood Street, director of the Com- munity Chest, gave an illustrated talk on the work of Washington's various charitable organizations affiliated with the Chest at the meeting of the North Capitol Citizens’ Association last night in the McKinley High School Building. Mr. Street outlined briefly the work of & number of the organizations. Lantern slides illustrated the type of work carried on by each charity. He told of the needs of the Chest and said that, as private sources of funds have been exhausted, the members of his organization will have to depend upon Government appropriations to supply the needs of charity after August 1. A letter from Newbold Noyes, chair- man of the Community Chest campaign, containing a statement of the organiza- tion’s serious financial condition, was read.
