PHARMACISTS
CUT COD LIVER
OIL DOSE
Boys and girls who take three
doses of oleum morrhuae, better
known as cod liver oil, daily as a
vitamin builder and adults who
use the same amount to replenish
their energy will have only to
take two teaspoonSful daily, if the
oil is registered U. S. P. strength,
according to recommendations of
the committee on revision for the
United States Pharmacopoeia.
The committee, which meets
yearly in Washington to discuss
corrections or additions to the ap
proved list of pharmaceutical
formulae utilized as a standard
gauge by the Pure Food and Drug
Administration, completed its sug
gestions at an all-day meeting to
day, in the Washington Hotel at
which doctors, pharmacists and
academic experts expounded
their views on current basic me
dicinal preparations.
50 Experts Here
During the course of the meet
ing, the 50 odd learned experts
from all parts of the country dis
cussed aspects of proved thera
peutical preparations, including
methods for artificial drying of
squill, a substance used in cough
medicine to stimulate expectora
tion, and to newer methods of
manufacture and purification of
oxygen.
The conclusions of the commit
tee, which will be submitted to
pure food and drug act officials
tomorrow, will be incorporated as
part of the yearly supplement to
the standardized Pharmacopoeia, !
the Sccepted pharmaceutical “en-!
cyclopedia’’ which contains the;
basic formulae for the chief medi
cal antedotes in use today.
Using the last Pharmacopoeia
as their guide, the committee
headed by Dr. E. Fullerton Cook,
of the Philadelphia College of |
Pharmacy and Science, heard the
assembled experts relate new com
mercial processes of preparation
and experimental discoveries,
which will change present manu
facture of certain medicines.
G. W. U. Man Present
Included in the gathering were
Dr. C. B. Jordan, dean of the
MediCal School of Purdue Uni
versity; Dr. John C. Krantz, jr.,
professor of pharmacology at the
University of Maryland; Dr.
George W. McCoy, director of the
National Institute of Health,
Washington, D. C.; Dr. George D.
Beal, assistant director of the
Mel lon Institute, Pittsburgh;
Joseph Rosin, vice president of
Merck and Company, and Dr.
George B. Roth, professor at the
George Washington University
Medical School.
The original Pharmacopoeia,
first published in 1820, contained
approximately 1.000 formulae,
most of which were merely listings
of preparations, as many were in
capable of being proved. Today,
the eleventh revision of the orig
inal has been contracted until it
contains only 560 formulae, the
basic preparations used in phar
maceutical practice today.

SIGN PACT
ROME, Dec. 1 (1.N.5.). — Italy
and Japan have concluded an ac
cord for economic cooperation, it
was admitted in official quarters
today.
Formal announcement will be
delayed indefinitely to avoid pro
viding “alarmist” comment
abroad, it was stated.
The agreement provides for
Italy’s granting formal recogni
tion of Japan’s puppet state of
Manchukuo, and for japan’s
granting of formal recognition of
Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia.
If the accord contains any mili
tary clauses, they will remain
secret.
The pact will complete the
cycle of cooperation begun with
the Italo-German and German-
Japanese agreements.
Oregon Ranchers
Raise Sugar Beef
ONTARIO, Ore., (1.N.5.).
Forced to decrease the number of
range-fed live stock usually raised
in this section, Malheur county
ranchers now are turning to sugar
beet raising as the answer to their
annual income problem.
Eastern Oregon and Western
Idaho soil already has proven
easily adaptable to the new crop,
and the custom of sugar beet buy
ers of contracting for the annual
crop even before it is planted has
proved alluring to ranchers.
One rancher alone fully demon
etrated the adaptability of Mal
heur county soil when he cleared
SIO,OOO on his sugar beet crop off
107 acres. The SIO,OOO figure was
profit above his land rental and
ether incidentals.
The usual “take” on sugar beet
crops raised in this section has
been 20 tons to the acre, and in
the Twin Falls. Idaho, area—where
beets are grown extensively—the
crops average between 15 and 17
tons to the acre.

EUROPE BUYING
U. S. TRACTORS
CHICAGO, Dec. 1 (1.N.5.).
Small grain still is cut with
hand sickles, and oxen still pull
plows of wood In. some parts of
Europe, but harvester combines
and rubber-tired tractors, devel
oped in the United States, are in
creasing in numbers on overseas
farms, R. B. Gray, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, told the
American Society of Agricultural
Engineers here today.
Gray, now chief of the division
of mechanical equipment of the
Bureau of Agricultural Engineer
ing, was in Europe for 10 years
pior to 1920, as representative of
an American exporter of farm
machinery, and returned last
summer as an observer for the
U. S. of Agriculture.
Because of the high price of
fuel, he said, Diesel power is the
most popular in European coun
tries. He said:
"Farms in the old country
are conspicuously free of broken
down and wornout machinery.
Either the machines are traded
In on new machinery before
they fall to piece, or they are
sold as junk when they wear
out. At any rate, the farm
steads are not cluttered up with
old machinery as is often the
case in the United States.”
Eropean farms, he said, are
getting away from "cumbersome,
pre-war tractors, "and are using
smaller machines, built along
automobile lines.”

GLASS LABOR

OTTAWA, 111., Dec. 1 (1.N.5.).
A “sit down” strike was in progress
in the pattern-cutting department
of the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass

tract by the Chrysler Company,
most of whose work previously

MARSEILLES, 111., Dec. 1

demanding union recognition and
a blanket wage increase of 10 cents

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1»36
FRAZIER PLANS
NEW FIGHT FOR
FARM BILL
Another major battle over the
Frazier-Lemke three-billlon-dollar
farm mortgage inflationary bill
was assured today.
Senator Frazier (R.), of North
Dakota, announced he would re
introduce the controversial meas
ure, and Senator Thomas (D.), of
Oklahoma, a leader in the cur
rency reflation forces, declared he
would continue to support it.
Sees Prosperity
Thomas declared:
“It is a step in the right direc
tion and will help bring back
prosperity not only on the farms
but throughout the country.”
Although the Administration
fought the bill at the last session
of Congress, when its considera
tion was forced by petition in the
House, Senator Frazier declared
himself “optimistic” over the out
look for passage in the new Con
gress. He said:
“Many members of Congress
committed to the principles of
the measure were elected on No
vember 3. I doubt that the Ad
ministration has changed its at
titude of opposition, but we in
tend to carry on our efforts for
passage of the measure.”
A Billion in Loans
The bill would authorize issu
ance of up to 3,000 million dollars
in long-term bonds, which would
be used as a basis for issues of
currency for loans to farmers.”
- Senator Frazier said he would
change the interest rate from l 1
per cent to 1 per cent, leaving the
charge for amortization of loans
at I’/a per cent as it was in the
bill before tKe last Congress.
Provisions will be included to
enable farm tenants to obtain
loans for purchase of farms, he
said. Farmers who have lost their
farms in the depression would be
afforded an opportunity to obtain
loans for purchase of their prop
erty.
Wants Crop Surety
Senator Frazier continued!
“There ought to be crop insur
ance legislation. I think it would
be well to start with wheat for
experience in that form of farm
relief.”
Senator Thomas said:
“Ever since the depression be
gan I have been advocating re
flation of the currency, to
cheapen money, increase prices
and enable our people to pay off
their debts and again become
prosperous.
“The business improvement
we have had is due to expansion
of the currency. In the last year
the amount of money in circula
tion increased 609 million dol
lars to a total of 6,429 million.
“The Frazier-Lemke bill will
do some good. No sensible per
son wants wild inflation of our
currency. The Frazier-Lemke
bill carries safeguards against
unnecessary inflation. It is re
flationary in character.”

clothes and laundry are stored.
Mrs. Bowers 'rushed into the
