Anniston, February 2o.-(Special.)- Wholesale and retail dealers in New York and the other fashion centers in the east have already quit talking of the panic times. and are awaiting patiently the return of normal times" said N F. Dry. proprietor of the chain of Ory stores in Gadsden, Anniston and Albany, who returned to the city Saturday, after two weeks of extensive buying in. New York
 MT. Dry, who was accompanied to the fashion centers by Miss Lydia West, head milliner at the Anniston establishment; A. D. Cohen of Albany and A. E.

By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery, Bureau. The Age Herald 22I-2 First National Bark Building

Montgomery, February D.--tSpeciaL ,.- Every effort of the state board of health m cooperation with health officials of plague on the waterfront during 1920 failed, according to summary of health work prepared by the board and made public today.
 When the plague appeared in other cit ies on the coast the health authorities began tests in Mobile. which continued throughout the, year. Not a sign of plague was found in the 300 to 500 rats which were killed and examined each month.
 Citizens of Alabama were saved s4s,572 during the year. by the operation of the state laboratory and Pasteur institute. Had the work of this bureau been done citizens would have been s53.4 .4a2. The cost of operating the bureau was $s, ,s20, leaving the remainder as a net profit to the citizens of Alabama. While the greatest work of the laboratory was in the research for germs of rabies, much attention also was given to analysis of other specimens with the view of find ing other diseases.
 The year showed a great decrease in the number of deaths from typhoid fever, an indication that sanitary con ditons are much better and that greater attention is being paid by the people to the cleanliness of their surroundings. Three hundred and twenty deaths from typhoid were reported in 1920, compard with 674 in 1915 It is figured that the state suffered loss of $1,650.000 from sickness and deaths from typhoid in 1915 while this loss was reduced to s79S,0 900 in 1920
 Reports of the health department also show great progress in the organization or the bureau Of vital statistics. which has control of the collection of statistics relating to births and deaths. The work has reached such point that the state is entitled to registration in the area for births by the census bureau and it is probable that it can qualify in the death area before the end of the year. state cannot be included in this official list until 1t can show that 90 per cent of all births and deaths are being registered.
 Reports show that 147 births and 2- 575 deaths occurred in the state during 1920

OXFORD SCIENTIST
 REVVES HUNT FOR
 EVERLASTING LIFE
Elixir, Long Sought In Middle Ages, Has at Last Been Found, But, Alas! It's Only
 for FlatWorms
By Associated Press

London February 20.-Popular in- terest in the oft-discussed question whether it is possible to keep old age at bay indefinitely and correspondingly prolong the span of life has been re- vived by Pr6f Julian Huxley of ox- ford. Julian is grandson of the great Huxley and inherits no inconsiderable measure of his talent for painstaking scientific research t'
 The common sense view of the life cycle, drawn from the observation of man and the familiar animals" said Professor Huxley, 'is that it proceeds always and inevitably in definite direction with a definite plan. The normal life-cycle of man, for instance, is as follows: The individual starts as a minute single cell, then follows a period of rapid growth accompanied by differentiation, then growth with out differentiation, then senility and finally death, whish supervenes as a natural phenomenon, even if not through disease or accident" EXPERIMENTS
 | Experiments have shown, however that this process was not reversible and was not inevitably similar in all animals; that it was possible to modi- fy the rate of growth and the length of the period of growth and thus pro- long life.
 Tt has been shown" Professor Hux- ley continued, that by alternately starving and feeding planarian flat worms they can be kept not only with in certain definite limits of size, as was to be expected, but also within certain definite limits of age. One an!- mai has thus been kept of the same age-that it. the same lively activity the same form, the same type of be. havior--for a time during which the rest of the brood have passed through 19 generations, a period which, trans lated into human terms would take us back to Chaucer. Thus. age does not merely depend on the lapse. of time i. is the expression of internal proc esses.
 "The elixir of life so long sought In the middle ages has at last been found but, alas! only for flatworms."
 MENTAL GO-BACK
 As an illustration of reversal in mental life, Professor Huxley men tioned that in some shellshock ana reurasthenia cases the patients revert to an earlier stage of mental existence, HdVlnS the InlnuS or children Tn the bodies of adults.
 'The most striking case,' he said. "was that of an Australian soldier who reverted to. the condition of an infant. unable to walk or talk and incapa- ble of taking any food but milk. This is known as mental regression."
 Professor Huxley held that numer- ous other examples showed that the apparent irreversibility of the life cycle was only apparent, and that the ordinary type of life-cycle had been adopted as the most convenient, but not as the only possible method of grappling with existence. Tn the case of mammals, the normal life of rats had: been prolonged by about 40 per cent.
 !. Observation of life process" said Professor Huxley, in conclusion, shas given way 5to experiments as tho chief method of research, and expert. ment Is leading to control"

ROTAR|ANS WILL AID. CONVICTION SCHOOLS
Plan Proposed Includes Thos- ough inspection of System In
 Other Counties of State

Andalusia, February 20-t Special. )--
 The Rotary club is working toward
 better schools and school conditions in County Superintendent Charles Baker appear before it and give an illustrated lecture regarding school conditions in the, rural communities.
 The facts and figures which he pre- sented were startling. But he also suggested a plan which is a logical one
 for improving conditions in the county. The Rotary club has appointed a com mittee composed of l.. E. Brown, Oscar NJ Dugger, J. l.. Thweatt, Charles Hen derson and c. $. Waits to ascertain how the club members can be used by the county board of education to 1 awaken a better interest in school work.
 The committee has decided to extend
 an invitation to the county board of 1 education and to one member from each of the 90 school district boards, ] to spend a day as guests of the Rotary club in visiting some of the improved I schools of Montgomery county The purpose is that it be ascertained just how the work is being conducted in these schools and let these gentlemen I see for themselves how the people of | that county went about the task of im- proving school conditions.
 l Covington county citizens will do their duty when it is plain to them what their duty Is, and this is the real purpose of the Rotary clubs getting behind the movement and bearing the expense of the investigation trip. It is a safe prediction that this county will have better schools and longer school terms and the main object now is to determine how best to proceed to give better and longer schools to the farm CTS children.
 At present the school children of the county are not getting that to which they are entitled in he way of educa- tional facilities.
