GLAND TEST OFFERED BY DR. VORONOFF Famed Specialist Discloses Plan to Create Race of ■Super-Sheep,’ CHALLENGES SKEPTICS Picks Paris 1932 Congress; as Scene for Pubiic Demonstration. TJs's Is the second and concluding evelusive Interview Id which Dr. Serge Vorereff, world-famed gland specialist, rescals bis scheme to create a race of “super- • beep," a scheme Involving the most elaborate experiments tbe noted surgeon probably ever has undertaken. BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent IWorld Copyright. 1929. by United Press' LONDON. Sept. 6.—Elaborating on the details of his scheme to create a race of ‘‘super sheep.” Dr. Serge Voronoff. celebrated rejuvenation expert,, today made certain revelations which in some circles will be considered as the most dramatic challenge in surgical history. Dr. Voronoff stated he would challenge the skeptics throughout the world, including those who are not fully convinced of his animal gland graft theory, to attend a public demonstration he intends to give at the international sheep congress, which is scheduled to be held in Paris in 1932. The rejuvenation expert believes that one demonstration will be sufficient to convince even the most skeptical. Admits Blunders "Like all other research workers,” Dr. Voronoff said, “I naturally blundered in mv experiments imtil I discovered Certain mistakes which were revealed only after years of experience with the work. “For instance, when I first got the Idea of creating the so-called “supersheep” I believed that since, when I grafted an old ram with a young gland the old ram became rejuvenated, that if I grafted a young ram with an equally young gland I would produce a “super-rejuve-nated” animal. “While this is quite true to a certain extent I later came to the conclusion that even better results could be obtained if, roughly speaking, I grafted the gland of a middle-aged ram—fully developed but still comparatively young—on a young ram, instead of an underdeveloped young gland on a young ram. Like Child’s Growth “This is on the same principle as a child's growth, which is greater between the years of 12 and 18 than between birth and 12, because in later years the gland secretions following puberty stimulate the develcment of the rest of the body to a greater extent. • I am so convinced that this theory is correct that I decided to accede to the numerous requests of the French government and many private sheep owners to graft, a * number of their rams and create for them anew race of animals. However, in view of the skepticism in my previous experiments I decided that this time I would restrict myself to performing actual operations. after which a committee of distinguished professors of the National School of Agriculture and of the National Veterinary school, could supervise the grafted animals monthly and study their development, growth, the length of their wool and their quality as compared with the ungrafted animals. World Can See “At the Paris conference in 1932 the rest of the world can see the product of my experiments.” Dr. Voronoff concluded the interview by saying that the whole thing was very simple. •Just as gardeners force nature to produce overgrown fruit, I now force the growth of super-sheep.” LODGE SEEKS VENUE Wants Transfer of Street Suit Against City.

EARS ARE HIS EYES

Ticket Taker Figures Races

A man who can tell whether a horse race is “hot” or not, and who judges the crowd’s enthusiasm, without seeing the people or the races, is Haword Meyers of Brook, Ind. Howard is the ticket taker at the “pass gate,” which is out of sight range of the race track when the crowds are milling. “Yep. I know almost exactly how close a race is running,” said Meyers. “I can judge by the amount and the kind of sounds the crowd gives forth. Take that big futurity race of Wednesday. I knew it wasn’t close. The people were interested but the sounds showed me that -winner was away ahead: not enough suspense to make the folks wild. Noises certainly tell the racing tale, if you're used to them.

"Meyers has been a gate man for six years. b an "Say, is there something the matter with me? I haven’t attended the races for several years, but those horses seem to be moving like snails," remarked a man w'ho came into the grandstand Thursday. “I've heard something like that said before—even when the best horses were in events,” responded Harry E. Voshell. chief of the Indianapolis Fire Department. “You see our standard of movement is changing. What with viewing fast autos and the general fast pace of about everything these days, the pace these horses set doesn't look the “last word” in speed that it did some years ago. At that though, these are corking good races.” a tt a “You see. the crowd thinks a woman can not judge; they’re always expecting me to fail,” remarked Mrs. Ira Sink, who with her husband operates a "weighing chair" at the fair ground. “Asa matter of fact, I have a far greater percentage of right guesses than my husband. The crowd doubles when I take charge. That’s because they're expecting to get a lot of laughs at my inaccuracy.” Mrs. Sink says it has taken her seven years to acquire her present high rate of correct guesses. She says the “thin fad” has the men in its grip about as much as the w’omen. “Fat men are not keen about being “kidded” about it. However, very thin men are equally sensitive, and when we have to announce a disturbingly light weight for them, we always accompany it with some pleasantry about ‘changing their boarding house.’ tt tt tt “Here's a prize dog in this box; come up closer and we'll let you have a free look,” announced a barker Thursday. Os course, the inevitable “hot dog” rewarded the guileless people who looked through a slit in the box. “Well,” one woman said disapprovingly. “they're just deceiving when they say a dog's in there, and I'm going to tell the fair management.” and she departed indignantly in the direction of the offices. BUB “I've heard a lot of folks say that the fair grounds should be used the year ’round,” remarked B. T. Patterson, a district patrolman on duty at the fair. “I think that's a truth, too. Seems like there should be some amusement features—some things that are staged at the city hall, for instance, brought out here.” “I know a good thing to do with

SENATE WILL DELAY TARIFF SLASH ACTION Democrats Decide Not to Force Vote on Cutting Industrial Rates, BY PAUL R. MALI GN Vnltcd Prr*s Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.—A showdown on the issue of whether the new $600,000,000 Republican tariff bill should be pared down to agricultural products may be indefinitely delayed under an agreement adopted privately by the leaders of all the interested senate parties, the farm bloc, the Democrats and administration leaders. Instead of deciding this vital Issue at the outset, as had been planned, the senate, under the new' scheme of affairs, may take up when it reconvenes Monday the administrative features of the measure, including the proposed United States valuation basis of tariff making and the flexible provisions of the tariff act. While these matters are of vital importance, they are dull compared with the projpet of sweeping out all the industrial rates. Before the arrival of Senator Robinson. Democratic floor leader, the Democrats and the farm bloc, working together in opposition to the bill w'ere agreed they should strike at this problem first. Senator Borah of Idano, acting leader of the farm group, said he had a majority of the senate in favor of sending the bill back to the finance committee with instructions it be stripped. After a conference with his Democratic colleagues, Robinson proposed the new program. He said he wanted time for general debate in the senate to educate the public to what he believes are the iniquities of the bill. He called Borah in and Borah agreed to delaying the issue if the Democrats wanted to proceed that w r ay. Robinson then put the matter up to the “big three” in charge of the bill, Watson, majority floor leader, Smoot, chairman of finance committee and Reed of Pennsylvania, They had no objection to putting off the rate section of the bill and taking up the administrative features. There is nothing to prevent any individual senator from arising Monday and moving to recommit the bill, in an effort to seek an immediate vote upon that question. Several senators are talking about such a revolt against their leaders’ program, but have reached no decision.

TARIFF VIEWS AIRED BY REED AND HARRISON Hawley-Smoot Proposal Held Monument to Hypocrisy by Mississippian, NO HELP TO FARMER Senator From Pennsylvania Declares G. 0. P. Measure Is Fair, Senator David A. Bead of Pennsylvania, leading defender of the HawleySmoot tariff bill, and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, one of the chief Democratic critics of the measure, srefO asked bv the United rress to ;ummariie their respective positions in view of the senate debate which is to begin next week. Following are their statements, copyright. T 929. by United Press. BY PAT HARRISON t’nJffd States Senator From Mississippi The Hawley-Smoot tariff proposal is a monument to political hypocrisy, iln the conception, as the country was "led to believe, the tariff was to be lowered to give, if possible, some measure of relief to agriculture through readjustment of tariff rates. The aroused sentiment of the American people in January of last year influenced the senate by a vote of 54 to 34 to adopt the McMaster resolution., expressing the sense of the senate “for an immediate revision downward of present excessive tariff duties, w’ith a view of establishing a greater parity between agriculture and other industries.” Repudiation of Promise In the presidential campaign last year, the chief spokesman of the Republican party, on the eve of the election, exacted from the candidate for President, on the Republican ticket, a pledge, “if elected,” to call an extraordinary' session of the congress to consider a limited revision of the tariff, that the gulf between agriculture and other industries might be narrowed. When this session of congress w T as called, it was hoped that some approach to that premise might be made. The Hawley-Smoot bill is a complete repudiation, not a fulfillment of that promise. While the senate finance committee has made some increases in rates upon certain agricultural products, they are in the main but shams and pretenses. They are the acme of deception. They merely are paper rates. As an illustration: There are high, and in some cases, increased rates carried on corn, hay, rye, and barley, and yet in every instance the importations of these products are practically negligible, and our production is immense and our exportations are large. Farmer Not Helped These rates, or any other rates that might be imposed upon these agricultural products, would have no effect upon the price of them. The price of these products is fixed in the world market. This principle has been recognized not only by economists and leaders in the Democratic party, but always has been recognized by the economists and leaders of the Republican party. % The bill seeks to increase the rates on such xgricultural products as pineapples, almonds, and dates. The production of these products in the United States is infinitesimal, yet as In the case of dates, the duty is increased by 100 per cent.

Reed’s Statement Cnited States Senator from Pennsylvania WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.—This tariff bill will pass because it is economically sound. On the t hole, it is a good bill, the honest product of hard work, serious study, and a conscientious effort to write a legislative measure which will provide reasonable protection for the people of our own country against competition of , cheaper labor in other countries. It will be the policy of its opponents to ridicule some of its pro- , visions, denounce others, and by appeals to prejudice attempt to defeat it. These methods will not succeed. No partisanship can obscure the fundamental fact that the bill answers a national need. It is too much to hope that the tariff ever can be taken out of politics. Essentially an economic issue, it becomes a political issue when the economic interests of political groups come into conflict. But with the spread of industry into the south and west, and as the average citizen comes to understand that agriculture and industry are interdependent, and that the prosperity of each depends on the prosperity of the other, we approach the subject today less as sectlonalists and political partisans than as Americans concerned with common welfare. Mass prosperity depends on difusion of wealth. In our own country this is brought about very largely by high wages. And high wages and the opportunity to profit in competition with other countries depend directly on tariff protection. So long as our living standards are so much higher than those of any other country, we must look to the tariff and to the restriction of immigration to maintain them. There is no other defense against the hard-driven competition of th>se willing or forced by circumstance to work for a fraction of what our own people receive in wages. We either can stick to the protective policy which has made us prosperous, or abandon it and lower our wages and living standards to the world level, giving up our automobiles and radios and many of the other comforts and luxuries which contribute to human happiness, to pursue a will-o-the-|d|& . ... ... —t m
