gets HEALTH IN
GOAT GLANDS
59-Year-Old Philadelphian
Has Them Grated in
His Back
HOPES TO REDUCE
BLOOD PRESSURE

PHILADELPHIA. July 14.-wil-
liam Eschemann. who at SO had live
goat glands grated in his back, does
not wish to restore his youth, but
merely to regain his health.
Mr.. Eschemann has returned to
his home at 1925 Fairmount avenue.
and asserts he already feels the bene-
fetal effects OF the operation for
which he spent his life savings.
The glands were transplanted in
his body by DR.. G. r Brinkley, in
bridgeport Conn, July /.
Eschemann had been suffering
from a form Of Bright's disease and
high blood pressure. He read OF Dr.
Br!nkley's successes with goat gland.
in Kansas whore the surgeon per
formed 1000 operations. and when
he came East, Eschemann took his
savings and went to Bridgeport
forthwith and with his wife's con-
sent. The grating was done with
the aid Of local anaesthetic, al
lowing the patient to watch the
operation.
At his home, Mr.. Eschemann said:
Il do not seek to return TO youth
which is claimed for monkey glands
injected by some OF the French sur.
geons, but merely that my health
be restored. Any man who ha,
lived over half a century with hi,
faculties clear should be happy and
satisfied and not want to return t,
his youth or young manhood.
1T was physical pain and suffer
ing that led me 10 try the operation
It will require about three months
to feel the full benefits Of the oper
alton.
Already my blood pressure
which was 176, has been reduce,
to 14O, and I really feel better
but not kittenish."

HIGHEST DAM
In CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO Omitted Press)
More than five million acres Of
barren desert can be turned into
rich farming land by the construc-
ton of the proposed Boulder Can
yon dam across the Colrado river.
according TO J. 3. Lippincott. re-
clamation engineer, formerly Of the
United States geological survey.
The proposed dam. to be the
highest in the world, is to be $50
feet high, it is planned. Il will be
capable OF storing 24.OOO.O0O acre
feet of water and will develop. l.
900, 900 horse power more than the
total hydro-electric power now de-
veloped by California projects.
Lippincott compares the Colorado
river to the Nile in the way the two
rivers deposit waist quantities Of silt
to the lands they irrigate. This silt
he says, acts as a fertilizer. and
makes the desert soil suitable for
the culture of almost any product
The United States government
owns more than 10000 acres in
the region which would be trans
ferred into valuable farming land
by the contamination Of the project

NEW YORK-Henry Eloinsky,
holder Of the worlds record for long
distance swimming with mark of
65 miles. is training here at Brigh-
ton Beach Baths for his supreme
test
He will try to swim 100 miles.
Eloinsky is a big fellow but he
is a highly developed acquatic star.
His chief rival in the long dis
tance swimming is Henry Sullivan
of Lowell, Mass. Sullivan is now
in England where he will make his
fourth attempt to swim the hazard
Gus English channel.
Sullivan. like Eloinsky, is a big
man. He weighs 210.
Weather conditions have much to
do with the success or failure Of the
marathon swimmers. If they choose
good day for their venture they
have much in their favor. But If
they run into bad weather condi-
tions the odds are about 10 to 1
against them reaching their goal.

ARMENIANS and
HELPLESS Kin
Hospitals Have Been Open
ed for Sick in Turkish
Capital
MANY DESTITUTE
AND STARVING

NEW YORK-Armenian residents
Of Constantinople, few OF them pos
sessing any great means, are giving
generously to the support and relief
OF the thousands OF their race who
are stranded in the refugee camps
Of the Turkish Capital, declares a
worker OF the Near East Relief who
has just returned to the United
States after more than a year and a
half of service overseas.
Most OF the efforts OF these peo-
pie" this worker reports, "are con-
centrated in the Armenian Red
Cross in Constantinople, with which
the American Near East Relief is
cooperating. This organization has
approximately eight thousand mem
bers who support It to the best of
their means. The organization was
formed shortly after the armistice
and is excellent proof of the desire
OF the Armenians to take care Of the
thousands Of their suffering kins-
men without outside aid. Though it
is impossible for them to get along
unassisted they are doing their best.
Hospitals have been opened
clinics maintained and conval lescent
homes. nurseries, orphanages. and
similar institutions founded. In all
OF these institutions Armenian ply
scians render their services without
charge. A large number of Armen-
ian girls have been trained in Ar
menian Red Cross Hospitals for
service throughout the stricken
regions where there is still intense
suffering.
"The operations Of the organiza-
ton have been, of course, greatly
helped by the aid OF the Near East
Relief. which has furnished food,
clothes, supplies OF all kinds, money
and the services, when required, of
American doctors and nurses. This
however. should not detract from
what is really a wonderful achieve
ment on the part Of the Armenians.
II should be remembered that a
large majority Of the race are desti-
tue and starving and that there are
a great many claims upon those who
possess any means at all.
"Armenians. who were well to do
before the war have since lost al
most everything. Most Of them are
considered we'll Off to be alive. Con-
ditions have been such since the
armistice that it has been impossi-
BILE for them to regain what was
taken from them during the long
years OF Moslem persecution"
