to Arrest for Murder in.
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo.-FOndness for
picked pigs feet led to the arrest in
Kansas City, Kan, of T. Foster, alias
Joe Clarke, negro, who the police
say is wanted in McLemoresville,
Tenn, in connection with the killing
of another negro.
Clarke had just left restaurant
when two detectives entered.
"That boy can eat more pigs feet
than anyone ever saw" said the pro-
prietor.
The detectives remembered receiv-
ing report from McLemoresville say
ing that, Fosters chief popularity was
his fondness for picked pigs feet, and
that he boosted of his ability to eat
more of them at one meal than any
negro in Tennessee.

MAY ADD CUBIT TO STATURE
Berkeley Scientists Discover Sub.
stance at Base of Brain to Make
People Grow.

Berkeley, Cal.-Scientists at the
University of California have discov-
cred the substance that produces
growth in the human body, it was an
nounced. Tethelin is what they call
it. 1t is in the pituitary body at the
base of the brain, and by retarding or
accelerating its functions it may be
possible, according to the Berkeley
scientists, to control the stature of hui
man beings.
Announcement of the discovery was
made by DR.. T. B. Robertson, profess
sor of biochemistry, who said that he
had succeeded in isolating tethelin and
that he believed it was the first time
in the history of biological science that
it had been done.
Doctor Robertson said his expert
ments covered period of four years
He said the Ultimate Importance of the
discovery made by him and his asso'
ciates could not be estimated at this
time.

eminent control is likely to be ex-
ercised for a long time over foreign
purchases, it is plain why prominent
copper men have lately gone on rec
ord with predictions that 30-cent metal
will go by the board when the war
ends. If production is to be main
tanned at a high level, prices will be
called upon to bear the brunt of the
postwar reaction. There are produc-
ers who feel that the American out
put will sag back within a year or
two after the conflict is over to where
it was in 1913; others are persuaded
that 1t will not again fall so far I'M
less something happens to injure bust
ness all over the world. There are
producers who look forward to 15-cent
copper after the war demand has been
cleared away, while others think that
quotations will not drop under 20
cents. A great deal as regards both
production and prices, it is said in the
trade, depends upon legislation, which
will permit American exporters to Co
operate in sales abroad.
1916 Prices Break All Records.
The average price of copper in 1916
was 27.202 cents pound, according to
the records of the Engineering and
Mining Journal, compared with 1925
cents the year before. December
brought the highest average for any
month, with a price of 1880 cents,
while in November the average quo
tation was 30.625 cents. The prices
of 1915 were never approached in any
other year in the history of the indus
try.
Spelter was sold at an average quo
tation of 1884 cents a pound, against
1922 cents in 1915, a slump in the
middle of the year working to keep
the average under that of the preced-
ing II months. Lead, on the other
hand, sold at 6.05S cents, compared
with 4.673 cents in 1915 and in De-
cember the average price for the
month was 7.50 cents.

CHINESE BY TUNNEL LAWFUL
Novel Defense Is Offered by Two
Smugglers In District Fed
eral Court.

Kansas City, Mo.-A novel defense
was offered in the federal court in
Kansas City, Kan, by Lorne Stone
berg and Edward Hook, who filed ha-
beas corpus proceedings to obtain their
release from the federal penitentiary,
where they were sent on a charge of
bringing a Chinese into the United
States.
To evade the federal statute, which
says Chinese must not be brought into
the country "by land or by water"
they brought Nah Chong, alias Nah
Gwon Wy, through tunnel under the
Detroit river, to Detroit, from Wind
sor, Can. After hearing this defense,
Judge Pollock took the matter under
advisement.
The men were fined $1,000 each and
sentenced to two years in prison, In
Chicago last July.
