Lootleg liquor continued to take its toll in dead about the country and | politicians attacked government use of poisonous denaturants, two Yale | scientists joined yesterday in endors- | ing the use of wood alcohol to make | liquor undrinkable. | Both said that it would be some time before an efficient non-poison- ous adulterant is found. It was an-| nounced Monday that the govern- | ment had put chemists to work to try to find a substitute for wood al- cohol as a denaturant for industrial alcohol. | “It is not a political question but ' one of morals and decency,” said Dr. Treat B. Johnson, professor of or- | zanic chemistry at Sheffield Scien- tific school. “The use of wood al- cohol is necessary for the protection | of industry. There are plenty of | substitutes which could be used bhut the economic factors must be consid- i ered. For instance, wood alcohol is | the only known denaturant which is | not harmful to textiles. It is also used in the making of explosives and | in the manufacture of lacquers and | varnish. | “You can't expect a manufacturer | of shaving lotion to put in some vile smelling stuff as a denaturant. It is a matter of common sense. The pub- | lic has been misinformed on this| whole question. Wood alcohol has been used as a denaturant for years and its only purpose is to make | liquor unfit for beverage purposes.” “People Must Take Chances.” People who drink bootleg liquor must take their chances, in the opin- | ion of Dr. Johnson. If the law is ob- | served, he said, there would be no | fatal consequences from alcohol di- ed from commercial use. Speaking of the field open to | chomists retained by bootleggers, Dr. | on said that although attempts made to remove the denaturant | covery of the pure spirits is | ¢ difficult and the process is ex- || pensive. On the other hand, he said, | government chemists who are re- ported to be seeking a non-poisonous urant are notoriously under- | > government cannot be held isible for deaths from alcohol- | ism, he declared, any more than it can be held responsible for the death | of a man who takes arsenic. The | deadliness of arsenic and wood alco- | liol are equally well known. | Chittenden Agrees | view was that sell H. Chittenden, for director of Sheffield Scientifi hool and professor of physiological who testified as an ex- | in the famous Jen r murder case nearly forty rs ago. | He explained that wood alcohol nmixes casily and that substitutes are inble to be insoluble. He agreed that | some other substance bad tasting | ' nauseous might be used but that it would rot be as effective. It will | he some time before another effi- | cient agent is found, he said. Like Dr. Johnson, Professor Chittenden believes that the government cannot | be held responsible for deaths from ! poisoned lignor and that the persons using it as a beverage are alone to Llame. me PUBLIC MUST HELP FIGHT ON CANGER .

Acute iInfections, Including typhoid and diphtheria were mentioned by Dr. Garner ‘nd the tremendous ad- vances made in this field by means of the Shich test and the Dick test were explained. In one field alone, cancer, he stat- ed, had the world of medicine suf- fered defeat. Cancer, the doctor laimed, is advancing by leaps and ounds, baffling medical explorers h its evasion of the usual efforts olate it. “Because you read in the papers a short time ago that the germ had heen isolated,” Dr. Garner said, “do mot believe that it means the cure of cancer. lated recently in London were the orms of cancer in a rat and in this se the difference between rat can- and human cancer are as unlike black and white. We do know however. Cancer springs up in places of chronic irritation.
