GOT A LITTLE
GONAD" KEEP
AN EYE ON HIM
He Ruins Health and
DriUes One to
Crime.

Chicago, June 22.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press "A warning against
bad acting gonads was sounded by
DIR. Maximillian Kern before the
American Institute of Homeopathy
today.
Gonads which misbehave may
drive a person into life of crime,
destroy his health or make him an
uncongenial companion, DR.. Kern
said
Gonads?
They belong to that mysterious
order of glands which are said 10
control the character, mentality and
individuality of members of the hu-
man race and are themselves at-
fected by bad temper, worry and
exhaustion, according to DIR. Kern.
Don't lose your temper, AVOID
worry and exhaustion, lest your
gonads misbehave," was his warn
ing.
Gosh! They're Dangerous!
They dominate the emotions and
personality and influence persons
to commit crime, and exercise an
altogether important role in the
regulation of the human body.
at is not surprising that this
particular organ should play such
an important role in struggling
endocrinology when We stop to
, think that they have been made
use of either in administration OF
the extracts or tampering of the
gland to rejuyenate people. Fol
a time this particular branch oi
endocrinology became so promising
that the laity were led to believe
that pretty soon we will be able
to revive dead ones by the admin,

RETURN OF
ALIEN CASH
is PROBLEM
German Government VIII
Get It's Nationals
Property.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

copyright, 192Z, Dy Lne ASuS-J
Washington, D. c., June 22-Al-
though President Harding has de-
cided to follow the human course
which has been traditional in
American history in returning the
private property of citizens OF an
enemy country, the painful truth is
that in the instance of the German
nationals practically all the prop
erty now held by the United States
will come into the hands of the
German government and eventually
will be transferred to the allied
governments as reparation money.
This is because the German gov
ernment has on its statute books
a tax on capital which would yir-
tually confiscate the property
about to be returned by the Amer
lean government to German citi-
zens. President Harding and his
associates realize this but it was
stated at the White house in re-
sponse to an inquiry that the
United States government is
powerIess to intervene as between
German citizens and the German
government.
U, S. Won't Intervene
There has been some discus
sion of the possibility that the
American government might make
as a condition OF the return that
the German government waive the
tax on the capital or that the de-
partment of state use its good Of
fices to secure exemption for Ger
man nationals having property in
the United States.
For the moment, however, Amer
ican officials will not intervene
Unofficially German embassy
spokesmen have assured American
| officials that the tax on capital
would not be enforced against the
German nationals having property
returned to them by the United
/ States government and it may be
that this will be the case but there
is nothing definite to guarantee
! such an outcome and it is believed
a special law would have to be
passed in Germany to cover the
! exemption
.. The situation becomes particu-
larly vital because the United
| States plans to return approx
mately s3O,0O0,000 of property
which takes in about SO per cent
OF the people interested in getting
! property back. The remaining
| per cent own property estimated
in value at from S350,000, 900 tC
$3.50 100000 Should the German
government practically confiscate
the first $4,000 900 it would have
an important bearing on the dispo-
sition of the remainder of the prop
erty.
Yank Claimants Object.
Americans who have claims
against the German governmen
either through the death of rela
tives on the Lusitania or elsewher'
in the war zone and the loss o
property know that in the presen
state of German finances they hevt
little chance to collect their claims
That's why they have been insist
ing that the property of German
nationals could be used as mean!
of paying American claims. Th'
