GLAND BUSINESS
GOOD, DOCTORS SAY

CHICAGO, June 20-Parchase of
human glands on large scale such as
never realized by the general public,
for rejuvenating aging men, was re-
vealed here today by medical author
tiles.
Surgeons in many large cities have
been experimenting with transferenee
of glands, purchased by wealthy men
from young and vigorous men who
needed funds.
The operation on Harold +. McCor'
mick, by which the life giving glands
of a young man were reported to have
been grated on the 81 year old million
aire has merely served to attract ut
tention of the public to these opera
tions, which have been no secret to the
medical profession for several years,
one surgeon stated.
Mccormick s steady improvement
was reported today and il was believed
he was about ready to leave the Wesley

RIO FLOOD

EAGLE PASS, Tex, June 20.-After
reaching stage of so feet, the high
est in 56 years, the Rio Grande was
falling slowly here today. At Laredo,
below here, it was reported rising at
the rate of one foot I'm hour and the
crest II expected late today.
Hardly had the crest of the flood
been reached than valley towns were
threatened with Il new danger with
the breaking of the levee near Mission,
Texas.
Despite efforts of more than 5000
volunteers, the earth works gave way,
allowing the waters to sweet over an
area of several thousand acres. The
little town of Mission is practically de-
serted.
The entire population, including
many women, fought to prevent the
break. Hastily erected kitchens served
meals to workers on the levee.
No lives were lost when the lcvee
broke because ample opportunity had
been given those living in the flooded
district to escape.
Reports dribbling in from across the
river at Piedras Negras tell of intense

LICK OBSERVATORY, MOUNT
HAMILTON, Calf, June 2O.-Mars,
well known pink planet, has displayed
rank discrimination against astrono-
mers of North America. AS an authen-
tic god of war out of work, Mars is
believed to be registering disapproval
by this Of peace conference and dis
armament country, and possibly also OF
Volstead.
While Mars is nearer the earth now
than any time in recent history, it is
visible so low on the horizon in North
America that observations can be made
only by looking through, for long dis
tances, the atmosphere of the earth.
But in wet and warlike South Amer

and is almost i'm the zenith.

HOITVILLE CENTURY PLANT BLOOMS

Over in Hotville, one of the chief
outdoor sports of the inhabitants, is to
visit the old Sargent place at Ninth

plant blooming. According to those
who claim to know, century plants de-
rive their name from the fact that they
are supposed to bloom at the end of
100 wears. According TO the legend,
having bloomed once, the plant dies and
is renewed in another century of
growth.
This particular Holtville. plant has a
huge stem measuring % feet high with
Il diameter of 10 inches or more. George

GHOST HUNTER

CAT WITH KODAK
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, June 20.--Convinccd
that ctheral bodies exist, DIR. Hereward
Darlington. noted investigator of ghost,
" manifestations, intends to photo,
graph the astral body of a cat, he an
nounced today.
This experiment will be conducted IN
the laboratory of the American Physi;
cal institution where DR.. Darlington
works among many strange machines
and ingenious devices designed to help
him probe the unknown and discover
whether spirits exist there.
DIR. Darlington might be called a
scientific ghost hunter He is IN
vestigating alleged spirit phenomena
with scientific tools
According to present plans, the cat
will be placed in a glass box just large
enough to hold it. This box will be
placed in another glass box about five
inches larger. DR.. Darlington and his
assistants will attempt TO remove the
astral body from the physical body of
the cat by means of an anaesthetic.
The astral body will then pass
through the first box as far as the
second box, which will contain an at
mosphere of water vapor. 1t is the
theory of the researchers that when the
cord which connects the astral body
with the physical is broken, death is
the result They don t expect to have
TO break nine connections for one eat,
however.
AS the air pressure between the glass
boxes is reduced it is expected the as
trail body will give off radiation and if
so ionization will take place; that is,
little electrical parts in the atmosphere
will condensc on the surface of the
astral body like dew drops gather ON
grass.
This will outline the astral body, ac-
cording to Dir. Darlington, and will
permit the taking of photograph.
