GLAND
FROM MONKEY
IS Transferred
Successful Operation on Defec-
tive Girl of 10
CRIPPLED FROM BIRTH
Girl Expected by Chicago Doctors to
Become NormaI--Monkey Is
Likely to Die.

Chicago, Dec. S,--Balboa clung to
the bars Of his cage in the American
Hospital and chartered weakly. Life
for the moment was dark mystery
to Balboa. He had been picked up in
the street while collecting pennies for
Giuseppe, the organ grinder, rushed
70 the hospital, shaved, anaesthetized
end separated from his thyroid gland.
II was not Tor Balboa to know he
had participated in stirring scienti-
iic drama that had begun when the
humane society authorities had found
nineteen-yearo old.Mary Zenbek, blink
ng ike little crippled mole in a
JoAet cellar. Mary had been kept
hidden by her parents for eighteen
years because she was born de.
formed, and her parents had been
ashamed to show her. She had lived,
eaten and slept in the cellar, never
had seen daylight and had grc wn up
misshapen and with the mind of a
child OF s.
Scientists as well as welfare work
ers at once interested themselves In
the case. and II fell to Balboa, skip
Ping lightly to the music Of hurdy
gurdy, to step forward from the him
terland OF evolution and contribute
thyroid gland For, according to
the scientists, the trouble with Mary
Zenbek was that she had been born
with an improperly deye oped thyroid
and this defect was responsible for
her mental condition and deformity.
The operation was performed N
the American Hospital today by DR.
Max Thcrek and DR.. Bernard Klein,
the latter OF Joliet. DR.. Thorek would
make no statement, but DR.. Klein ex.
planned that the operation had been
simple, that the gland had been re-
moved from the monkeys neck after
the creature had been shaved and put
under the ether and that It then had
been placed in Mary's neck
"The girl, said Dr. Klein, "will re-
cover And in al klihood she will
become normal mentally and regain
her health"
The girls defect made her only s
years old mentally and physically" !"
said DR. Krumholz. "But we feel GER
tain nov that with the monkey gland
she win be able gradua ly to acquire
the intelligence becoming a girl Of
her age. She, OF course, will have to
be taught as any eight-year old girl
would, but she VII learn, and that's
the point
All of which was part Of the drama
unknown to Balboa, Chattering
weakly in his cage the lite monkey
slipped from perch and huddled on
the hocr The nurse had put a ban
dage on Balboa and the intern had
given him a pat and said Good
boy Sarah" And there appeared
some doubt as to Balboa's recovery.

RETAIL PRICES
erocers and others Hesitate to Take
Loss on Goods.


Rochester. Dec. S.-The unwilling
ness Of retailers to sell stocks bought
at high prices at loss was said to
be party responsible fer the alleged
inactive condition OF the canned
goods market by two speakers at the
opening of the annual meeting of the
New York Gamers Association here
today
"The retail grocer will hold out un-
til the last moment before he viii be
wiling to sell his goods at a loss"
said II. a. Daily of Philadelphia,
president of the National Canned
Goods and Dryed Fruit Brokers As

ports that prices have dropped from
13 to 80 per cent. from the peak Aus
tin l.. Babcock assistant vice presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust Company

BRITISH DEMAND
FULL SURRENDER
OF THE SINN FEM
To Bring Peace in Ireland-NO
Easy Terms
NEW OUTBREAK LIKELY
Irish Republicans Refuse to Consider
Demand for Abandonment Of
Republic.

London, Dec S.--The hopes of Irish
peace have been shattered again up
on the rocks of the trreccnciability
of both sides. 1t is stated semi-offi'
cially here following the Cabinet
meeting today that the Governments
terms include no amnesty, the sur
render of al arms, and the abandon
ment Of the demand for a Republic
for Ireland
The correspondent Is informed
through direct channels that Sim
Fein will not accept the first two
terms and that II is confident it will
be backed by the entire Irish people
in its refusal.
Inclusion of no amnesty and the
surrender of arms came after Lloyd
George had been talked to. not only
by Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Sec
retary for Ireland but by Sir John
Anderson, political head at Dublin
Castle and a military ffieial whose
name cannot be mentioned Those
men refused under any circumstances
to have anyth ng to do with any plan
which would permit Michael Collins
and other chiefs OF what the Castle
calls the murder gang to escape the
net that the Castle believes is rapidly
closing around them.
Sim Fein and the bulk Of Irish
opinion will not consent to the sur
render OF Collins, ct al. to the mercies
of the Br tish military tribunals be-
cause even il they believe the activ-
ist leaders are responsible for such
outrages as the slaughter OF British
officers in Dublin they believe they did
1t as their duty in their war against
an allen enemy.
