D. c. DOCTORS SCOFF
AT YOUTH ELIXER'
'PoppycOCk, F." Says Dr, @. T.
Vaughn, Of Ape Gland
Transplanting.

The report that a French surgeon,
DR.. Serge Voronoh, has discovered
an "eliXir OF youth" by means Of
transplanting the glands OF apes
into the bodies OF human beings has
been received by local surgeons with
q large "grain OF salt"
From the time OF Ponce de Leon,
who believed he had discovered a
secret preserver OF youthful charm
and Bpirit-and perhaps as far back
as the old Methusalah, himself-there
have periodically arisen those COM
fOrterB OF the human race who claim
ed TO have discovered the only 'Old
age cure"
Science Is as incredulous these DAYS
as IL was in 1892, and although many
discoveries since that time at first
met with unwarranted ridicule, there
Is a tendency TO discFedit the al
legged discovery OF the famous French
surgeon.
"POPpyeOek5 Says Vaughn.
"It's all poppyooclE," declared DR..
George Tilley Vaughn, famous Wash
ington surgeon. Every ten or fif-
teen years some one comes forward
with a claim Of a similar nature, but
so far these claims have not been
able to stand the test Of general ex-
pertinent
"Of course, It may be possible to
give a little life to the human system
by introducing a gland from an animal
but the effect is only temporary, and
soon wears Off Even water intro
duced into the system would have
q tendency to stimulate 1t for q short
period"
Advances In Recent Years.
DR.. Rheet STUART admitted the ad-
vances made in recent years By the
transplanting OF other glands, such
as the pituitary body and the thy
rOid gland, from sheep to human be-
ings. Some wonderful work has been
done along these lines, ne said.
"As for this new thing" DR. Rhett
said, Il am not acquainted with II.
wish knew more about It."
Other local surgeons look upon
this reported discovery as a sort Of
matter, and q little
out OF their line"

Lion Cub Loses Rep for
GentLeneSS and Snaps at
Queen of the BelgianS

a cave by a guard in Yosemite park.
He had q brother, and a mother, and
the mother, voieing her objections to
her children's removal. was dispens-
ed wit
The Hon cub was brought to the
ranger station near Yosemite village
and there, with his brother, tenderly
fed and nursed. His brother made
his exit from this world one night
when he tired OF civilization, but the
cub that snapped at the Queen Of
Belgium promises to grow to q ripe
old age.
He was pettod and nursed and fed
on cream and treated royalty And
he waF tame as 9 pet kitten, never
bit anybody. never groWled at any
body, never did any Of the rude
things q mountain Hon is supposed
TO do, and gained q reputation for
being the very best, well behaved
mountain lion ever in captivity.
Free During the Day.
At night he was shut g a cage, and
In the day time he had tha freedom
OF the premises. His picture was
taken and placed Oa Ole with official
photographs OF the National Park
Service here IN Washington. Great
things were expected Of this lion. he
looked like he would grow into the
"almightiets. bsstest" lion cub that
ever was.
Then yesterday. when the keeper
proudly told the Queen she might
enter the cags without fear OF harm.
the little rascal snapped at her.
Some attribute il to a "tummy ache"
A. ~
Others to natural perversity, which
never entirely gets out OF the system
of a mountain lion. But the fact re-
mains that he's lost his reputation and
will never regain IL.
N. B.-Later inquiry at the Interior
reveals there 81 some un-
certainty concerning the sex Of this
particular lion. Anyhow, IT snapped
at the Queen Of Belgium.

BANK TO HIRE
EK-KIDNAPER
AND BANDIT
Pat Grove, Once Notorious
Outlaw, Gets Job in Wash
ingtOn Financial Institution.

Pat Grove, bandit and lidnaper, the
bogey man in the nursery rhymes Of
a decade ago. is going to work in 3
Washington bank.
Through the agency OF DR.. =. p.
budding, president Of the Prisoners
Relief Society, 500 E street northwest.
the notorious outlaw, now turned re-
former and educator, came to Wash
inFtOn q week ago.
budding requested three Of the
leading bankers Of the city to aid
in inding work for him and now BY
q curious twist Of sardOnic fate pO-
sitions in three different banks aWai
him. interviewed today Grove saiO
that he was relying entirely on the
good offices Of DR.. budding and would
gladly take any Of the Jobs that were
offered.
Kidnapped Young Cudahy.
Grove gained international noto-
riety through the kidnapping Of Ed
ward Cudahy, the son Of the Chicago
meat packer and the subsequent ran
soming Of the boy for 325.00O. With
q reward Of $50, 900 over his head be
successfully eluded capture for six
years and in 1906 surrendered to the
police Of Butte. Mont.
He was taken to Kansas City, tried
and acquitted. From that day on
Grove has followed the proverbial
straight and narrow path" devoting
his life to the cause Of erring men
and the education Of children.
The Pat Grove OF today has all the
scars Of his rhetorical career. His
big frame shows still much OF the
strength that carried him through his
great adventures and hardships. But
there is still a flash OF resolution and
determination in his eye, mingled
in his voice.
Champion of EdueHtion.
His one object in life today. he de-
clares, is the education Of children. OF
the $4,000 men and women in the
penitentiaries Of the United States
today, 10000 are there through no
fault Of their own but because OF the
negligence Of society.
Education, Grove declares, should
be the watchwoFd Of the nation. |
Educate the child and crime will
he AYERS. Grove is urging
the passage Of q bill now pending |
before Congress prOvidinB for the
education Of the poor and
orphaned children Of the nation.
Notorious A. Outlaw.
Pat Grove became notorious as an
outlaw long before the Cudahy kid |
mapping. He was the nemesis Of |
Of the middle West Tor |
many years in the last part OF the |
century, robbinB trains, (
banks, jewellers at random, and in /
escaping scot free.
His career az an outlaw ended with /
the Cudahy kidnapping. Telling OF /
this crime today Grove remarked |
jOcularly that "Cudahy owed him /
100000 for the publicity received as |
the result OF the kidnapping"
after the kidnapping, Cudahy's /
export and domestic trade IN meats 4
increased to q volume beyond the ca
pacity OF his plant" he declared.

use by dairymen other than the origi-
nal owner would be curbed il a bill
by Congressman Moore Of Virginia to

NG4 CREW Greeted
BY SEC. DANIELS
Chief Of Navy Lauds Read and
Men Who Made Famous
Flight.

rhe accomplishment Of the famous
navy seaDlane Is something Of which
the most imaginative hctionists Of the
nineteenth century never dreamed, %
said Secretary Daniels, in a short
speech in honor OF Lieutenant Com
mander Read and the crew Of the
NC-4, at the Seventh street wharf
this morning.
"It iB 70 my supreme qualification" I"
continued the Secretary, that I am
able to claim for the navy the dis
tinction Of making the first trans
Atlantic flight.
The day is not far on when we shall
look over the schedule at the break
fast table, pack our grip and catch
the Ocean Filler for Liverpool, and
to have the navy the pioneer in such
an enterprise is very gratifying.
Il will not be satisfied until every
ship in the navy will have is own
airplane or crew Of airplanes," con-
cluded Secretary Daniels, and while
congratulate Commander Read and
his men, regret that I am not good
enough to fly with them"
Syme welcomes Read.
Commander Read was officially
welcomed to Washington by Corpora
ton Counsel Syme, who was Commits
sioner BrOwnlOW's representative be-
cause Of the latter's illness.
Secretary Daniels was introduced
to the attending crowd Of a thousand
people by Commodore Lloyd, head Of
the Navy recruiting service.

tary was roWed out to the NC-4 and
with Commander Read examined the

navy, was among the guests who gath
cred to pay tribute to the explorer
pilot" Col. Robert N. Harper, presi-
dent Of the District National Bank, il
Commander Read, said:
we have many heroes to be proud
Of, and il is hard to draw a compari-
son, but when the final pages Of his
tory Of American heroism have been
written, and the names Of the heroes
inscribed in the hall Of fame, I am
sure that none will be found there
whose record Of achievement for his
country will command more admira-
ton than the name Of Lieut.. Com
mander A. c. Read"
Corporation Counsel Conrad Syme
made q short speech in which he well
coined Commander Read in the name
of the District Commissioners.
In a short speech Commander Read
replied to Colonel Harper's and to
NF. Syme's addresses, and gave
short narrative Of hiF trip across the
A AtlantIc, making IL the basis for a
few prophecies concerning develop
nents in aviation. Secretary Of the
Gavy Daniels concluded the luncheon
With a brief speech in which he
praised the accomplishment OF Com
nander Read and his comrades.
