SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1983. | \ ‘AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PUTTING ATTENTION TO HOME PROBLEMS; FOREIGN AFFAIRS SECONDARY By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) The attitude of the Amer-| ican government toward the German crisis shows again how fully the administration is concentrating on affairs at home, leaving — inter- national. considerations in the background. Under the Hoover administra- tion, Germany's withdrawal from the arms conference might have spread shock and alarm in Wash- ington, President Hoover and Secretary Stimson burned much midnight oil studying the problem of European harmony, convinced it held the key to world recovery and hence to American recovery. Now the policy is one of watch- and-wait. Mr. Roosevelt has put himself on record as disapproving the non-eooperation of Chancellor Hitler, but Washington has shown j, It is pre-{program for this season is one of no great excitement. occupied with farm prices, deposits, oil regulation. Dog-Wagging Tail? Even where domestic problems overlap into the international field—as most of them do—the tendency of many officials is to the muddle abroad as tty hopeless, anyhow, and write it off the books. Administration. statisticians working on the currency, question have figured out that only 4 per _ cent of American production and consumption ever comes into con- tact with the foreign money mar- kets, and need trouble itself about foreign exchange rates. “One high authority, rejecting ions that “he American dollar be stabilized against. “the English pound, asks: why let the four per cent tail wag the 96 per cent dog?” . That isone viewpoint. Those who take the other argue that it would be fairer to conclude that so long as the 4 per cent tail is caught in the door, the rest of the dog won’t be of much use. ~The internationalists» point to 1914, when the devil’s brew was ‘ehurning in.Europe, and the W: sachs ato yetazen “which * tat to abandon later, “It is a.deep subject.

VICK COMPANY * OUTLINES PLAN | ON ADVERTISING SHOWN WHERE NEWSPAPERS ARE TO SHARE HEAVILY IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN- NOUNCED POLICY {Special to The Citizen) GREENSBORO, N. C., Oct. 21. —In accordance with its policy for nearly 30 years, the Vick Chemical Company announced to- day that newspapers ‘will receive most of the heavy advertising this season for Vicks VapoRub, Vicks Nose & Throat Drops, Vicks Méd- ‘icated Cough Drops Voratone Antiseptic. x Vicks advertising and expansion the largest in the company’s his- tory—a continuation of past poli- cies. During the past four years Vicks has increased its advertis- ing 150 percent, It has increased the number of its employes 72 pereent and maintained salaries at the high 1929 levels. Throughout this period other companies were curtailing their advertising or elim- inating it entirely, discharging millions of employes and slashing salaries. Vicks has continued the aggres- sive merchandising that has al- ways characterized its sales poli- cies. In these four years—prob- ably the most disastrous econom-| ically that America has ever known —sales of Vick products have in- creased from 26,000,000 packages in 1929 to more than 52,000,000 packages this year. Having operated throughout its history under policies similar to those embodied in the National Recovery Act, the Vick Company naturally gave its whole-hearted support to the NRA program as soon as it was announced. Vicks “signed up’? with NRA without reservation in spirit as well as in fact, President L. Richardson de- clared. For many years Vicks VapoRub has surpassed in sales’ volume all other cold remedies.’ Mr. Rich- ardson attributes much of the tre- mendous VapoRub sales—over 26,000,000 jars last year—to con- sistent newspaper advertising. When Vicks Nose & Throat the new aid in preventing and Vicks Medicated Cough Drops, medicated with ingredients of Vicks VapoRub, were _ intro- duced nationally in 1931, news- papers were selected as the prin- cipal advertising medium. The mounting sales and unqualified na- tional acceptance of these new products in less than two years, despite highly unfavorable general business conditions, afford strik- ing illustration of the value of newspaper advertising, Mr. Rich- ardson believes, Again Mr. Richardson's faith in and Vicks} Newspaper advertising was vin-| dicated when Vicks Voratone An- tiseptic was introduced early this year witlt heavy advertising in 1,- pear to be making great progress.

BLAKESLEE - (Associated Press Science Editor) WOODS HOLE, Mass, Oct. 21.—Sea urchins which are the children of “virgin fathers,” creatures without benefit. of “mothers,” have | biological laboratory here. They are the converse of “vir- gin births,” their only parent a father, in the form of the male fertilization material of sea shellfish. “Virgin birth,” known as_par- thenogenesis, jfemales give rise to offspring common among low forms of ani- mals. But the “virgin father,” or ephebogenesis, is a rarity. The Machine's Children These young sea urchins are quite literally children of the cen- jtrifuge, an instrument which whirls their eggs around at the rate of ab@ut 8,500 revolutions a’ minute. They are surprising by- products of an investigation into the minute substances comprising sea urchin eggs. The investiga- {tion is conducted. by Dr. Ethel Browne Harvey. The eggs, when spyn about in the centrifuge, pull into two halves, These in turn can be each centrifuged to separate again, making four eggs from one. But the contents of these divided eggs are not the same. Only One Is Female Only onesof the quartet cap] tains the female nucleus, which is the ¢ssential “mother” substance supplied by the female. Two of the divided eggs contain’ only yolk and red pigment, with no female nucleus whatever. Yet when fer- tilized by sperms, these egg frac- tions develop into young sea urchins. So likewise do the other two divided parts, if male fer- tilization is supplied. Undivided sea urchin eggs gave the first famous example of “vir- gin birth.”. “Treatment. by various substances could be substituted for the “father”? ‘and eggs so treated would develop into young. But they all had the female nucleus, ‘ Five Elements In Eggs The centrifuge shows clearly five elements in the eggs. One is oil, second is a clear substance i which lives the nucleus. Third is represented by some barely visible| particles: not: previously known. Fourth, yellow yolk, and fifth, whereby unmated is stances separate when whirled with a centrifugal force which! equals about 8,000 times the pull’ of gravitation. The sea urchin eggs are be- lieved to be essentially similar to all eggs. Study of their contents is expected to give valuable in-| formation about the mechanisms of development in all animals, in- eluding human beings. The oil’ and the yolk are be- lieved to be food, the yolk oan ably protein. The red pigment appears to function in respira-| tion.
