CLAIMS CHEMICALS
AFFECT PLANT LIFE
B0TANIST EXPERIMENTS WITH
VEGETATION
Says by Use Of Calcium and Iodine He
Has Been Enabled to Make
Startling Changes in
Derivatives

BERKELEY, July 26.-1n a lecture
before a number of professors of the
state university here this afternoon DR..
D. D. MacDougal, for many years head
of the desert botanical laboratory of
the Carnegie institute. Washington,
D. c., and later connected with the
branch laboratory at Tucson, Ariz.,
stated he had produced unique results
on plant life by the use of chemicals.
DIR. MacDougal said by spraying So
buttons of calcium and iodine on the
pollen of the parent plant he has been
able to produce startling changes In
the derivatives, and that by hybridlz-
ing the derivatives with natural plants
of the same species he has been able
to obtain other varying results.
DR.. MacDougal stated the primitive
plant life of the desert offers the best
field for the study of the basis of plant
life. He claimed to have taken plants
with coarse serrated leaves and by
means of his experiments to have pro-
duced a plant with leaves of fine and
smooth texture. He is carrying on his
work of research for the further pur-
pose of ascertaining just what infiu-
ence heredity and environment have on
plant life.
Today he announced for the first
time he had established a branch boz
tanical laboratory a Carmel-by-the-
Sea, where he would carry on further
experiments with numerous species of
cacti which he had transplanted there.
DIR. MacDougal was for a number of
years in charge of the New York bo-
tanical gardens and later was connect
ed with the University of Minnesota.

DRESSMAKER SUES RICH
AMERICAN FOR DRESS BILL
Paris Costumer Says Mrs. George Law
Refused to Pay for $4,000
Worth of Work

LONDON, July ga $4,000 dress bill
was the subject of a controversy in
the chancery court here today between
a Paris costumer and Mrs. George
Law, a wealthy American who divides
her time between New York, Paris and
London.
Mrs. Law declined to pay the bill on
the ground that the costume did not
nit and because the charges were ex-
tortionate.
The verdict however, was in favor
of the plaintiff, who greatly amused
the court with a recital of how Mrs.
Law took her to the theater and to the
Louvre, bade her copy dresses of
actresses and famous women of the
Louis XIV period, pictured in the
Louvre, and kissed and complimented
her on the admirable reproductions
she supplied.
