Concerning Joe, a Star

Joe Mendi, the SIOO,OOO eighteen months chimpanzee, will fill an engagement at Keith’s week of Jan. 31 prior to sailing for England, where Dr. F. G. Crookshank, one of London’s foremost biologists, will examine -him. Dr. Crookshank contends that the chimpanzee is the progenitor of the white race, the gorilla of the black race, and the orang-tang of the yellow. For a child of his age, Joe has attracted the interest and attention of more eminent men than any other child prodigy ever launched. Scientists and psychologists, phrenologists, biologists, distinquished medicos, city -and state officials, from Hollywood to New York City, have eiu tained Joe.and unanimously declared him a most amazing creature. At eighteen months, Joe has the mental grasp of a child of five. He rides a kid<ye car, a tricycle, pushes himself around in ah express wagon, eats with a little spoon as carefully and politely as the best bred child of twice his age. He has, In all, an array of a.ccomplishrhents which testify his right to the claim that he is "more human than human beings.” Joe, although he doesn't speak, has an unusual vocabulary. He understands as much as a child of five or six years. He is being l brought up in altogether human surroundings. Sleeps in beds," eats at a table, wears clothes, has his lessons just as any little boy might. He learns surprising quickness. Since his theatrical debut a few weeks ago he has added two or three new tricks to Ills repertoire. He is now learning to smoke cigarets and gives evidence of becoming an inveterate puffer. Joe has his “blue” days just like other children do. Days when he cherishes a grouch, stamps his feet and pulls 1 his hair in quite the ac-

NEW INSULIN FORM FOUND Discovery Will Increase Life of Diabetics. Bn United Preta CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Development of Insulin in a chemically pure form crystal—termed one of the greatest scientific discoveries in modern times —has been announced here by Dr. John J. Abel, aged professor of pharmacology in the John Hopklnn medical school. The new discovery, scientists say, will greatly increase the life of the diabetic and perhaps will serve as a preventitlve. The purification of insulin heretofore handled in a crude state is regarded as a tremendous stride. Dr. Abel, now 70 years old, has devoted a greater part of his life to the development of pure drugs. It was he who discovered the production of pure Adrenalin, which, by injection into the heart, has saved the lives of babies thought dead. In addition Dr. Abel discovered a pituitary tartarate and a substance similar in action to digitalis. The aged scientist has been working during the post few days with a broken leg having been run down by an automobile two weeks ago.
