Profit No Inducement to
Real Scientist
The man who Invents a better mousetrap may find
the world making a beaten path to his door but In
the ordinary course of things somebody else ls apt
to set up a toil gate along the way and collect the
Admissions.
The scientist the man who makes the discoveries
which transform life is not usually the one who
profits by it. He does the things he does btrause he
gets a bigger kirk out of life that way than he could
by doing anything eLse.
You could count on the fingers of your right hand
the scientists who have been led on in their research
by the wish for money.
All this Ls brought to mind by the announcement
In Philadelphia that the famous cancer research de-
partment is to be withdrawn from the University of
Pennsylvania because of the university's policy of
making all scientific achievements available free to
anyone who is interested.
The withdrawal ls being brought about by Irenee
du Pont who created and supported the department.
In a letter to President Thomas 8. Gates of Penn
du Pont remarked that he feels cancer research will
go forward faster If definite financial reward ls of-
fered those who accomplish most and if any dis-
coveries are patented and retailed on a money-mak-
ing basis to provide funds for further research.
So Penn loses Its cancer research department ef-
fective Jan. 1; and the great heroes of medical
science in years past must be turning over in their
graves by platoons.
Lazear gave himself yellow fever in Havana and
died so that millions of people might live; Noguchi
•nd Stokes died of the same plague in Africa fight-
ing the same fight. Koch fought bleak poverty for
years as he struggled to isolate the bacillus of tu-
berculosis.
. Banting worked out the Insulin treatment for dia-
betes without asking whether there was anything In
It for him. Jenncr was not thinking of cash in the •
till when he conquered smallpox nor Pastrur when he
whipped rabies.
So it has been always. Medical men have volun- j
tartly faced the mast horrible of deaths—death by lep-
rosy. by typhus bv^encephalitis by maladies that rot
the body and torture the brain with agony—for no
other reason than that they were the kind of men
who found it worth-while to take such risks if there
was a chance of saving the lives of people who had
Bever heard of them.
That record Is one of the race's most glorious
Achievements It Is a terrific rebuke to anyone who i
•upposes that that kind of work would go along fast-
er if someone dcneled a bankbook in front of the
procession.
After all. working to find a cure for such a thing
As cancer rc ts on a different standard of value than
does say. the inventing and manufacturing of muni-
tions of war
Test That Strikes Back
The “truth serum"— that drug under the influence
of which people are supposed to be powerless to tell
lies—is generally looked on as a means of bring-
ing the guilty to punishment. A recent case In Okla-
homa indicates that it may also serve occasionally
to protect the innocent.
An Oklahoman told the authorities that hi* di-
vorced wife and a local Justice of the peace had com-
mitted a murder 28 years ago. His story seemed
plausible and properly detailed and the two he ac-
cused were arrested. Then County Attorney Charles
B. Leedy thought of the truth serum—and used it
not on the prisoners but on their accuser.
This man as a result. Immediately confessed that
he had ••framed the whole story out of spite.” The
two prisoners were at once released.
It may be too soon to tell what place this drug will
eventually occupy in detection of criminals. But It
is encouraging to see that It can be used to keep peo-
ple out of Jail as well as to get people In.
Politic* Gone Too Far
The high price the public pays for permitting self-
ish machine politics to handle its state governments
is apt to get a good deal higher now that the states
are adopting new functions which affect the lives of
citizens more closely.
An example Is the complaint recently registered by
the American Association for Social Security to the
effect that Ohio’s old-age pension system has been
•perverted Into a political Instrumentality" by the
state administration with an increase of Incompe-
tency and waste tn direction of Its affairs.
We can endure political mlsgovemment In affairs
that do not touch us closely. An old-age pensloft Is
different. It needs the mast honest and efficient man-
agement that can possibly be applied.
Politicians who tamper with such things are ex-
acting far too high a price for their services.
The Truth About Diet
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Assn
and Hygeia. the Health Magazine
REGULATE THE PROTEIN IN YOUR DIET
TO KEEP YOUR WEIGHT UNDER CONTROL
The average person consumes far too mueh pro-
tein with his food daily.
Of course your body has the happy faculty of get-
ting rid of excess protein without much trouble and
it is safer to have a liberal supply of protein than an
under supply. But. If you want to regulate your body
weight you should also regulate your diet in relation
to the amount of protein you take in your food.
Experiments indicate that a man who weighs 154
pounds or 70.000 grams should have about 44 grams
of protein every day. if he weighs less he needs less
TODAY’S HEALTH QUESTION
Q —Is dry air or damp air better in winter?
A —Thus far enough scientific evidence is not
available to show that moist air in our homes In
winter will reduce illness. But we do know that
it makes us more comfortable and that it Is cer-
tainly better for the furniture.
This does not mean moisture to the point of
dampness or increased perspiration. The great-
est comfort for the human being is had in a tem-
perature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity
between 40 and 50 per cent. To have this mois-
ture in the air. an extra amount must be added
to the air during the winter.
protein. If he weighs more and wants to keep on
weighing more he can take more protein.
• For the purpose of easy calculation when you buy
your food there are about 454 grams to the pound
or about 28 to the ounce.)
• • •
When we study the amounts of food that most
Americans eat. we find that they take 106 grams of |
protein every day instead of 44
Since protein food Is generally more expensive than
carbohydrate food it is more economical to eat car-
bohydrates for fuel or energy value and proteins for
body-building and tissue repair.
Children require more protein in proportion to
their weight than do grownups because they have
the double purpose of maintaining their body and of
growing. In fact. It has been suggested that a rhlld
requires two or three times as much food as a grown
man does for each pound of weight.
If the amount of protein you eat is much in ex-
cess of what your body requires the excess is elim-
inated through the proper organs although a part
of it may be burned up in the body and used as re-
serve fuel.
Actually one gram of protein or one cram of car-
bohydrate will yield about four calories of energy
when burned in the process of digestion In the body.

Drive On to “Save” Norris
Thi campaign of the friends and
admirers of .Senator George W. Nor-
ris of N braska to dissuade him from
his intention of retiring instead n;
running for re-election next year has
assumed rather huge proportion.
and there is now seme hope that k
will have effect.
Letters are pouring in from over
the nation including sc:res from
people the senator never heard of
before—even some from high schocl
boys and girls. The other day there
was one from a Nebraska banker
who had opposed Norris all his life
but said he had just come to the con-
clusion the senator was largely right
and urged him to stay in congress
The executives ftf thie 21 standaid
railroad labor unions met recent-
ly and instructed their chairman to
lobby with N:rris against his re-
tirement.

Roosevelt l.eads Pleas
At the top of the list of pleaders
stands President Roosevelt who said
publicly that “Norris is necessary
not only to Nebraska but tc the
United States as long as he lives.”
and has since written personal as-
surance to Norris that meant
every word of that and asked as a
favor that I he senator make no de-
cision until the two have talked it
over.
The real secret of the Nebraska
progressives desire to retire is the
fear that he may be too old to serve
another six-year term. He is 74.
He really is in excellent health
But he has confided to intimates
that he h’s seen so many cld men
go into dotage and decline from
their peak cf usouilness while hold-
ing public office that he had a hor-
ror of following In that path and

CHAPTER XX
pAtTLA said to tbe housekeeper
* “Fix me up something to drink
Something stiff And brln an
other package of elgarets After
that l don’t want to be disturbed
—not by anyone.”
Her directions were followed dis-
creetly and in silence.
-Why don't eon sa* t-omething?'
Paula shrilled wildly her taut
nerves snapping. "Didn't you hear
the news? Scott’a married!”
“Yes. I know.” Charlotte told
her "I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? What are you sorry
about?"
"I’m afraid he’s made a mla
take." Charlotte said quietly. “He
had no business getting married
when he's Just beginning his prac-
tice”
“Of course he hadn’t” Paula
gulped down the strong drink and
made a wry face.
“He’ll probably regret It.” Char
lotte said No one knew Paula so
well as her housekeeper who nad
devoted herself to spoiling Paula
catering to her every whim for
yes rs.
“All right now. Go out and let
me sleep "
When the door closed Paula
flung herself down. Deep terrible
sobs were smothered against a pll
iow §
She to!d herself that she hated
Scott She never wanted to see
nlm again! The paroxysm over
*he lay staring with glaied. pain
filled eyes at the beautiful ornate
room
It might have been different she
'bought if she bad allowed Scott

ttead of biding her love She bad
ieen so afraid of losing bis com
oanionship that she bad accepted
•rumhs—the confidence and a flee
-Ion be gave her But sbe bad
never let him look Into that secret
Place of her heart filled so long
with nothing but him.
“1 know every mood of bis.'
Paula thought desolately “It win
ake her years to know him as I
do. And ret she walks off with him
after a few months and marries
nlm!”
Perhaps If they had not gone to
the club that afternoon ne would
not have met Dana Or if Dans
nad not had some misunderstand
■ng with Ronnie Moore this
•vonldn t have happened
fruet that Comptroller General John
R. McCari whom he regards as a

his seat if he quits and suggest that
his retirement might mean that Ar-
thur Mullen democratic lobbyist auu
political boss whom Norris regard^
as a perniciou. intluence might ga<ti
control of Nebraska.
They further assure him that ne
mustn't quit his lifelong battle
agrinst the “power trust’’ at a time
when he and his cohorts are be-
ginning tc win victories.
In fact they use ever argument
and sentimental appeal they can
think of. Few men in recent dec-
ades hive been subjected to such
pressure.
It will be no wonder if Norris wm
is strong-minded and already has
