DR.. CARREL, WINNER
OF THE NOBEL PRIZE.
Worldwide Distinction For Rockefeller
Institute Physician.

According to announcement from
cine has been awarded this year to
DR.. Alexis CArrel of the Rockefeller
institute, New York. The award is
made in recognition of achievements
In the suture OF blood vessels and the
uansplantation Of organs. The Nobel
prize is valued at $4,000.
DR.. Alexis Carrel was born In
France and is thirty-nine years old.
He was graduated from the University
Of Lyons and Immediately took up
original research work involving labo-
ratory experimentation similar to that
for which he was awarded the Nobel
prize.
His work as an original investigator
became widely known in scientific cir
cles, and In 1906 DR.. Flexner induced
him to pursue his researches in the
Rockefeller institute.
In an address before the American
Philosophical society at Philadelphia
in November, 1908, DIR. Carrel aroused
much interest In scientific circles by
announcing that he had interchanged
the main artery and the jugular vein
Of a man with no deleterious results.
AS a climax he told of having grated
the leg of dead fox terrier on to the
body Of a living animal of the same
variety.
In June Of this year warm contro-
versy was started among leading sci
entists in Paris by DR.. Carrel's asser-
ton that he had kept portions of ami
mails hearts alive for months while
immersed in a special antiseptic solu
ton and that these portions after a
short time surrounded themselves with
new cells and grew to more than sixty
times their original size.

can Surgical association and member

CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS.
President Taft Invites Governors Of
All the States to a Conference to
Consider His Plan For Reducing
the Cest of Food Production.

Beverly, Mass.-Radical state and
federal legislation to bring the Amer
lean farmer cheap money at better
terms and to reduce the cost OF living
to the consumer by reducing the cost
of production to the farmer was urged
by President Taft in letter sent Fri
day to the governors Of all the states
inviting them to conference in Wash
ingtOn upon this subject.
According to President Taft, the
plan which he advocates "offers a
means to secure to this country great
er productivity, at less cost, from the
farms that are now under cultivation,
and, above all, to give us more farms
and more farmers. 1t will make IL
profitable for the farmer to return to
the cultivation of the abandoned farm
lands of the east and 10 open up the
vast areas of untitled land in the west.
This offers the consumer relief from
the increasing cost Of foodstuffs,"
To do this President Taft would
have established, in the interest Of the
American farmer, financial machine
based upon the cooperative principle
employed in nearly every country of
Europe. The scheme, says Mr.. Taft
has been tested in Europe through all
the changing conditions Of a century"
and the results can be seen in the fact
that today the American farmer, be
sides his payments In commissions
and renewals, pays an average of S1a
per cent for his money as compared
with the 3h or Az per cent paid by
the farmers of France or Germany.

attributes it chiefly to the increased
annual product Of gold to SJO0,0O0,0 900

could not select a worse time for pro-
posing to the American worker-as in
effect they do propose, by urging a re-
duction Of the tariff-to consent to low

competition with labor abroad. Wages
must be kept up, and the way to keep
them up is TO keep the tariff protective,

sen.ibIeness Of Women,

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Man is accustomed to
criticise woman's tight shoes, but how
many mon are there who will wear a
shoe too large for them? Besides, I'll
stake my life on it that there are as
many men as women who are Mt pa
tents for the chiropodist.
Then we heal the howl about the
hats worn by women. They are either
too large or too small. How do some
hats worn by men compare with them?
In the summer we have the straw hat
with the broad rim. At present we
have the English derby with the low
crown, also with the broad brim, which
makes the wearer resemble a vaude-
vile comedian. If that isn't enough,
we have the little orusher, which re-
sembles h Ia hat worn by an organ

Then comes the cry against the hob

woman's dress. Didn't mems peg
top trousers beat these to a frazzle
in absurdity? II not, the English suit
with the short coat and almost skin
tight trousers will help out consider
ably.
