But the Spanish - American war

Whan he started classes, fellow

that he got more privileges than
they did, and the superintendent
ordered him to quit school or move

College officials offered him free
tuition and gava him a room so he
could continue hit education.

Females Likely to
Outnumber Males
In 1850 Census
The lNh decennial census of the
United States, to te token in April,
is likely to confirm projections
which stew that the excess in
number of males in the nation’s
population has been wiped out dur-
ing the lest decade.
In 1940, the last census showed
e sex ratio of 100.7 males per 100
females. Population students esti-
mated that in 1949 the ratio was
99.0 melee per 100 females. Numer-
ically, the sexes appear to have
reached a balance about the mid-
dle ef the deeade.
World War II easualities were in
part responsible far the decline,
but the decrease in the predomi-

tends all the athletic events and as
many of the social activties as pos-

the other students und attends all
their coffee hours.”
“Everybody around here loves
him,” McLaury said. “In fact, dur.
ing a recent illness, students wait-
ed un him hand and fuot, prepared
his food and kept him company
while he was conflncd to bed.”
McLaury said Glascock was re-

shortly after his enrollment.
“That kind of courage sets an
outstanding example and should be
rewarded,’ *the president said.

nataly male immigration of earlier
decades and the higher civilian
death rate of males than at fe-
males were the leading factor.
A report issued by the Census
Bureau in 1949 announced esti-
mates based on 1940 census fig-
ures brought up to date from offi-
cial records of births, deaths and
net immigration. This report etated
that between April, 1940 and July,
1949, there was a shift in the rela-
tive numbers of males and females
ia the United States from an
enumerated excess of 454,000 males
in 194Q to an estimated deficit of
730,000 males in 1949.
Not all age groups bad sex ratios
lower than 100 in 1949, however.
There were approximately 104
males for every 100 females in the
population under 20 years of age.
This ratio reflects the normally
large excess in numbers of boys
among births.
In cxmiraat, the sex ratio in the
age group 45 years and elder waa
estimated at 9f>.4 in 1949 as against
102.6 in 1940. The trends toward
numerical domlwaea ef wemea ia
the 46-and-over age group is *
result of the increasingly larger
excess of male death rates over
female death rates, and the sharp
decline in the volume of the heavily
male immigration with the conse-
quent rapid attrition in the num-
ber of foreign-born persons.

By PAUL F. ELLIS
UnlUd Prm Selene* (Miter
NEW YORK (UP).—The swine
has been a source ef food for /nan
through th* centuries, and now
that animal ia supplying medicine.
The medicine is a hormone,
known as seth, which medical sci-
entists are finding equally ss ef-
fective as another hormone, cor-
tisone, in treating some diseases
heretofore classed as incurable.
Acth ia produced from tte pitui-
tary gland of the swine, and like
cortisone it is (woman* ate expen-
sive. Current prices of aeth are
$200 a gram, or about 88,000 an
ounce.
Tte hormone acth may be the
world’* most expensive and most
valuable by-product. It has teen
produced by Armour A Co., from
slaughtered hogs and because of
the Armour research facilities oth-
er packing companies have been
hipping their supply of pituitaries
» Armour. Recently, Wilson A Co.,’ *
another line packer, it
iu in the business, too, of making
acth.
Searching for Synthetic ‘
The scientists working with acth
are hopeful a synthetic material
may eventually be made, but they
are not as far on the road to total
synthesis as those working with
cortisone. Id the first place, acth
has not been isolated in absolute
pure form and the scientists are
net aura of the characteristics of
the acth molecule.
TV
have shown that the hormone stim-
ulates generally the adrenal glands
into producing cortisone and other
hormones that are necessary for
health in the human being. As in
the case of cortisone, the hormone
causes some bad reactions in pa-
tients but the reactions disappear
promptly when the injection of the
substance is stopped. Many acth
researcher* are convinced that the
undesirable reactions have been
tte result ef overdosage. To put it
in the words of John R. Mote,
medical director of Armour’s re-
search: “It’s a physiologic response
to overdosage.
The scientists are not convinced
that swine pituitaries are the only
major source of the hormone. They
are working with other animals
and have found that sheep pitui-
taries also produce the hormone,
but sheep are not a* plentiful as
swine.
Four Grades of Priority
As of new, Armour Company has
set up four grades of priority in
the distribution of acth. The re-
searchers trying for a synthetic
acth got first call, and second is
clinical research. The third priority
goes to additional clinical research,
and No. 4 is the general public.
Only those in the first two cate-
gories are now receiving aeth.
The scientists point out that both
acth and cortisone are still in the
experimental stage, and neither
has been approved by the U. S.
Food and Drug Administration.
Such a step would be necessary be-
ore any general distribution of
either hormone is made.
The demands for acth equal
those for cortisone, and some scien-
tists believe that there are ad-
vantages in tte fact that the hor-
mones are scarce. One, it permits
tte fVsoaFeh scientists an oppor-
tunity to York with the substances
purely ion. an experimental basis;
and two, it will give scientists a
chance to determine proper dosages
and just what diseases the hor-
mones will attack effectively.
The scientists are on the fron-
tier of a new land. They want to
proceed cautiously.
