ROANuKF, Va., N< v. 4—Something
in the human body takes the nick out
of nicotine-'before it does th" heavy
smoker any discernible damage, the
Medical Society of Virginia was told
today.
Just how the body goes about ren-
dering the poisonous alkaloid haim-
less is not definitely known tc re-
searchers, reported Doctors Harvey
B. Hagg and Paul S. Larson o,! the
Medical College of Virginias Depart-
ment of Pharmacology, but it ap-
pears that some factor alters the nico-
tine* chemically. The liver may do
the trick.
As a matter of laboratory record it
was found that most of the nicotine
in a cigaret, constituting tvzo per
cent of its entire weight, does not
reach ihe smoker at al). Thirty-five
per cent of the r.icotine is destroyed
at the burning tip of the cigarette, a
like percentage goes off in the “side
stream” cf smoke that wafts up *rom
the burning tip, and six per cent is
collected by filtration into toe butt
The smoker vho inhales, therefore,
takes in virtually all the remainder—
about three milligrams of nicotine.
About 50 per cent of the nicotine
taken in is eliminated in th.? urine,
the doctors reported, and “we can
only conclude that the remainder
tab, u: 90 per cent) is altered chem-
ically in Ihe body. If this wen; not
£C' is is hardly possible that one could
smoke anywhere near the amount of
I tobacco one does without developing
major toxic phenomena.”
The maximum point at which the
■snicker is able to detoxify and elim-
inate the nicotine is not known. How-
ever, Ihe scientists reported -hat lab-
oratory rabbits injected with frac-
tions of the known fatal dose of nico-
tine at regular intervals detoxified—
cm a weight to weight basis—as much
nicotine as a man would retain 1£ he

Washington that toe total estimated

RISING Phoenix-like from the fires
kindled by Allied bombers these Au-
tumn nights is a specter ihat chills
the blood of every adult German. It
is the ghost of 1918. the memory of
these dark days that Signalized the
collapse of the Kaiser s armies in
World War I.
No amount of c fficial optimism can
conceal from the German people the
deadly parallel of events in the yee.rs
1918 and 1943. “Heads will roll" it
defeatist talk does not stop. Goebbels
warns his countrymen. Bui the talk
goes on.
Not even the most regimented Nazi
can fail to read between the lines of
communiques that tell of German
armies which “successfully detached
themselves from the enemy” and ad-
vanced to the rear “according to
plan.” Thus all reports agree that
there is defeatism within the Reich,
that there is intense, though unorgan-
ized, anti-nazism ini nearly all walks
of German life. But this does not
necessarily mean that collapse of the
German war effort is imminent.
As a matter of fact, the MEMORY"
OF 191S IS UNDOUBTEDLY one of
the MOST POTENT weapons in the
German propaganda arsenal. 'Ihe
Machiavelian Goebbles passes up po
opportunity to remind the home front
of the STARVATION AND CHAOS
that engulfed beaten Germany at the
END OF THE LAST WAR. He adds
deft hints at vengeance to come this
time from the Russians, the Poles, the
Czechs and the Norwegians.
Ihe Nazi hierarchy knows that the
war is lost, but Germans continue to
fight and die in 1943, just as they did
in 1918 long after General Ludendorff
saw the handwriting of defeat on the
avails of his dugout.

Here’s a story from New York.
Just at this time the demand for
beeswax is climbing like the price of
groceries will just as soon as that
sales tax bill becomes a law.
“Addison Webb, a lawyer who rais-
es bees in .a Metropolitan; penthouse,
has called on fellow bee keepers of
Manhattan—not generally known as
bee country—to increase their wax
harvest and help defeat Hitler.
Webb, a son of a minister in a Flor-
ida town, says he has for six years
le jeAv has always be-m a , men^ one tjle rpellj which uses only
lcifour words in the King James trans-
. i lation, expanded to five words in the
O1 i Revised version of the Bible.
The latter version narrowls the pro-
hibition to murder, apparently rec-
ognizing the statutes that provide that
killing under certain circumstances is
lawful. Such provisions were made in
the Mosaic laws also, yet the language
of he Commandant was not changed
nor limited—it was left to stand in all
its simplicity, four words that needed
no additions.
The general understanding of the
Commandment is that it prohibits
physical murder, yet it might be well
for us to apply it to other killings that
sometimes have results as disturbing
as the taking of human life. There is
the killing of reputation, for instance,
done by the passing from mouth to
mouth of RUMORS that have no real
foundation yet have their effect. The
killing of GOOD IMPULSES which an
individual or a group may begin to
exhibit, in which the killer is a per-
son or another group who may believe
that the impulse will be detrimental
to their individual or collective inter-
ests. Such killings are so common as
to excite little notice, yet they are ef-
fectual in that they tend to narrow
our outlook on life, and encourage dis-
regard of that great commandment oi
the Master, that wje do unto others as
Ave would have them do unto us, and
that Ave love our neighbor as our-
selves.
There are other than physical kill- j
ingis to be avoided.

The War Production Board's order

The new order just announced by

there are 500,090 gallons of two of

a motorist tu identify the bogus

San Antonio electric users may low-

are immediately loaded onto the backs
