The explanation is that when the
water particles in the original
cloud turned into ice. this reac

heat changed the formation of the
cloud, to cumulus.
But the heat change did some-

CHICAGO Discovery of a new
hormone which apparently cures
peptic ulcers is a reward for years
of research.
A team of Chicago scientists,
back in 1928, joined in the centuries-old
hunt tor a ehemjcal that
would heal the gnawing sores ;if-
iCPiflicting a million Americans.
Scene of the research was
Northwestern University's medical
school. The men who did the work
are Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, physiologist
and now executive vice president
of the Chicago profesisonal schools
of the University of Illinois; Dr.
Morton I. Grossman, another physi
ologist now at Illinois; and two
members of the Northwestern med
ical faculty Dr. Harry Greengard.

phases, and Dr. Arthur J. Atkin

In time the investigation was
focused on a harmone found in
the mucous lining of the intestinal
tract of freshly slaughtered hogs.
The problem of extracting it was
solved in this way:
Strips of the intestine were
turned inside out, and washed in
an acid solution to leach out the

The gal wanted to know why.
"Well," he explained, "if you tell
them you are a mechanic, they
make you a medical corpsman. If
you've been a cook, they are sure
to give you a yeoman rating; and
if you happen to know something
about bookkeeping, they are "sure
to make you a mess cook."
"But," inquired the sweet young
thing, "suppose you tell them you

"Oh, that's the worst of all. If
you do that, they hand you a commission."

Compromise
It was market day. Prices had
been high and the man leaning over
the fence round the sale ring was
moKing disconsolate. Suddenly a
farmer rode up on an ancient
horse.
"How much do you want for that
bag o bones?" asked the bystand
er, his interest awakening.
"A hundred dollars.'
"I'll give you five dollars."
For a moment the farmer stared
at the man in amazement. Then he
dismounted.
"Young man," he said, "I ain't
going to let a little matter of 95
dollars stand between me and the
sale of a horse. The animal's

that ulcers would develop again in
a few months. But they didn't.
The earliest recurrence was 18

lution. X-ray Ver'fied Results
"Many of the patients reported
symptomatic relief within a few
days," the researchers report.
"Most of them were free of dis
tress after two weeks. In the re
maining few approximately two
months elapsed before relief from
pain and distress was complete."
Definite improvement in two to
five months was verified by X-ray
examinations. Improvement was
recorded in 40 of the 58 cases,
including 15 still under treatment.
The most beneficial frequency
of injection is once a day, six times
a week, for a year. None of the
patients who adhered to this
schedule suffered a recurrence
after the treatment had been con
cluded. In tests now under way in a
California hospital, the hormone
dose is taken by mouth in pills
about the size of a pea.'
Twice-Told Tales
The late Frank Harris took his
literary material wherever he could
find it, and sometimes he would tell
a story which bore more than a faint
resemblance to something already
concocted by another, and frequent
ly more famous, writer. One day
in a group which included Oscar
Wildq he related an incident which
nearly everyone present recognized
as something which had occurred in
a story by Anatole France.
There was an uncomfortable si
lence. "You know, Frank," broke in
Wilde, "Anatole France would have
spoiled that story."
You First, Sir
It was very obvious that the new
recruit was a raw hand at boxing
as he entered the ring, and when
he saw his hefty opponent he be
came more nervous still.
As he went to his corner he saw
there a man with a towel thrown
over one shoulder.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm your second," was the reply.
A look of relief lightened the re
cruit's face as he said:
"No, you go first I'll go second!"
Secocd Best
A candidate for county sheriff was
soliciting votes in a cowtown in
Oklahoma. After haranguing the
crowd, he asked for support.
"Well. Mister," said the town
barber, "you're my second choice."
The would-be sheriff pondered a
moment. Then he asked cheerful
ly, "And who's your first choice?"
"Oh," was the reply, "any fellow
who wants to run."
