SCORES SEE CLIMB They scaled the highest of the two Cathedral Spires, 2150 feet above the floor of the valley, while scores looked on, expecting from minute to minute to see their ropes fail or their "pitons" slip, plunging them to the rocks below. And, haying made the perilous ascent, what have they to say? Well, speaking for the of three, Robinson said: "Well, the next time we happen to be in the valley, and have the time, we'll try the second of the Cathedral Spires. It's like golf- any real golfer is always looking for a new course upon which to try his skill." The second spire remains still unscaled by man. It is, 200 feet less in altitude, but composed of the same granite rock. LOOKING FOR ANOTHER Meanwhile.

any other difficult climb intrigues the three, all members of the Sierra Club. After reaching the peak of the highest spire, a climb which required almost 11 hours. the three planted an American flag there and started their perilous descent.

Tests of New Drug to Burn Off Held Fat Success Are Body Put Under Forced Draft. but Laymen Warned By Expert of Grave Risks By F.

B. COLTON Associated Press Science Writer of way to get thin-a drug CHICAGO, April tests that puts your body under "forced draft" and the fat off you, making you feel better at the same time- were outlined today to the American College Physicians. The drug. one of the chemicals known as "dinitro compounds." can be used to take off any amount of weight desired when used properly, said Dr. Edward L.

Bortz, of Philadelphia. He warned at the same time. however, that people who use these drugs without a physician's advice are running grave risk of ill health and perhaps death. The new reducing medicine "lets more air into the furnace." A fat man is like a slow fire burning in a furnace with the damper barely open. His bodily fuel is burned up slowly in the production of heat and energy, which scientists call basal metabolism.

The new medicine "opens the damper," and the slow fire burns faster. The fat melts away because the body is produc-, ing heat and energy faster than before. Scientists call it accelerating the metabolism. LOSS VARIES "Weight loss averaged from three to six pounds during the first ten days on one of three capsuls of 100 milligrams each daily," Dr. Bortz said his experiments showed.

"In those individuals showing a psysiological response to the drug, weight loss continued at the rate of one to four pounds each week for as long as the medication was taken." Warning against the danger of overdoses of the dinitro compounds in reducing. Dr. Bortz said: "It is exceedingly unfortunate for the laity laws are now enforced prevent the inthatre discriminate dispensing of powerful drugs such as the dinitro compounds. The therapeutic dose of 300 milligrams daily, administered in three doses of milligrams each. is but one-tenth to one-third that dispensed freely over drug counters today." VIEWING INTESTINES A new method of studying digestion and intestinal troubles which is almost as good as turning a man inside out was reported by T.

Grier Miller and W. Osler Abbott, of Philadelphia. For the first time they have devised a tube that can be inserted far down into the small intestines. penetrating farther than ever before, with outside connections which make possible study what happens on patients' insides. By having the patient swallow barium meal, a chemical that shines, the physicians found they could watch the motion of the intestine during digestion through the fluoroscope, a machine that "sees through" the body like X-rays.

At the same time an electrical connection to the tube records the motion on a graph. The tube also makes it possible to study acidity of the intestines which is related to digestive upsets, the bacteria that live there and aid digestion, the chemicals present, and the effects of drugs and food as they pass through.
