ironical paradox regarding the cause and cure' of disease The present discovery nicely illustrates the spirit and technique of experimental medicine The Duke university scientists secured their first clue" from the work of other 'scientists chiefly of the University of Wisconsin who earlier cured “black tongue” in dogs by the administration of nicotinic acid The recent work on vitamins has also yielded rriuch general knowledge upon which the present discoverers have drawn heavily Equally interesting from the social point of view is the fact that the present discovery was ifiade as a result of experimental work upon laboratory aniWithout this preliminary experimals mentation it is safe to assume the present discovery would not have been possible Such a discovery as the present while benefiting only a relatively small number of people is a minor landmark in the history of American medical science It is a tribute to the men and women who achieved it It is especially heartening to consider at a time when deaths from other diseases from war and from accidents are increasing life-givi- New York Highlights By Charles B Driscoll NEW YORK— Stand with your back to Gramercy park as thousands do to get a good look at the Venerable Players and Nastreet and you tional Arts clubs across-thare sure to notice a somber immense quaint— old building that stands some distance back from the street a few doors east of the clubs It Is a simple building of massive blocks simply roofed and with large windows made There are windows in up of small panes front as well as on the sides There is' no There are effort at decoration anywhere heavy double doors In front approached by a few stone steps The building stands In a large enclosure The high iron fence around it matches well with the iron fence around the park across the street This is the Friends Meeting House of Gramercy Park 144 East 20th street We walked the length of the high Iron fence but found all three gates padlocked We walked around the block thinking to gain entrance from the rear But the property does not extend through to the other street We were stymied apparently So we inquired at Jhe quaint neat Puritan-lIrving hotel near by An old gentleman who wore a black flat Quakerish hat happened to be in the lobby He advised us to press a black button we’d find on one of the gates We did and were admitted to the church No by a polite interesting Italian sexton he was not a Quaker but he had learned to respect the Quakers and to admire their sturdiness of purpose "And besides" he said with typical American liberalism “we all worship the same God They do it their way-anI do It my way God He knows” ooking d The large building is well kept perfectly preserved neatly and plainly furnished throughout It was built in 1859 but it Is as solid and sound throughout as though It had been finished last week—more so if we mky judge by some of the buildings we’ve seen finished during the last three or four Vears There is a large room for young people’s meetings on the ground floor It Is as simple as befits the Quaker mode of living Unpainted wooden benches tables chairs In this room thousands of cups of coffee and rolls are given out to those who come over from the Bowery and thereabout to seek o food The Meeting is no longer but it manages to raise enough money to make a few thousands of the people of the abyss feel better once In a while well-to-d- I have told in this column about the Friends Meeting House on Stuyvesant square There used to be a large Quaker population in thes esections of Manhattan For one reason or another that population has dimini inshed The worshipers of the Stuvvesant Square Meeting House and those who 'remain of the once prosperous Gramercy Park Old differences Meeting now meet together as to mode of worship are at least partly fora certain period of the year the gotten For Stuyvesant - Square Friends come over here for services on First Day and for a corresponding period the Gramercy people go to Stuvvesant Square to worship This old meeting house is the home of the most strictly orthodox of the old Society of Friends There ie no music at all in the meeting house at’ any time The older Friends held that the making of mechanical music was not a suitable way in which to worship God The main auditorium Of the meeting house up a broad flight of stairs is the last word in Quaker simplicity Seats are of natural wood varnished to keep them dustless Most of the seats are just as they were installed before the war between the states began There are 'thin cushions on many of them The seats rise toward the back of the auditorium though the floor is not slanted There is no pulpit No altar No table or chairs for nresiding dignitaries In the Quaker Meeting there are no dignitaries The older people occupy the few rows of “facing seats" that face the main part of the auditorium Only a narrow aisle separates the facing seats from the others -

’ Some staunch new dealers would like to think that the Democrats who were most forthright in their liberalism made the best' showing For illustration they take Senator Wagner’s easy victory and the election of James M Mead a 100 per cent new dealer senator from New York as the short-terThe Democratic victory in California can be made to support the same argument And of such lukeso can the defeat or near-defewarm new dealers taa Senators Lonergan of Connecticut Gillette of Iowa and Van Nuys of Indiana But beginning with the defeat"'" of Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan" as much evidence can be mustered to prove the opposite Few tears are being shed in new deal circles over the defeat of such Democratic gubernatorial candidates as Curley in Massachusetts and Quinn in Rhode Island The Democratic tickets in Pennsylvania Idaho and two or three other states did not inspire enthusiasm among new dealers And despite all the preelection publicity about a "deal” with Frank Hague to elect a Democratic senator from New Jersey a good many highly placed new dealers were pleased that the Re- -' publican won The revival of the Republican party automatically presses together the Democratic party The Democrats no longer can afford to quarrel so violently In preparation for 1940 both the president and the more conservative Democrats became more important to each other The question is whether the more conservative Democrats will move toward the president or whether the president will move toward the more conservative Democrats The president could not move Very e Democrats without far toward the cooling the enthusiasm of his progressive supporters As between’ a Republican party sprinkled with new faces d and a Democratic party-manof these progressive supporters would prefer the former THE PUBLIC FORUM Challenges Claims I Forum Rules -
