Green Says Rejuvination
Treatment is Com :,

Is YEARS BETTER
No Monkey Glands We're
Used. = Fountain of
Youth" is Simple Oper-
alton but Effective.
iBy United Press

New York, March 30-Col. Ed
ward H. R. Green. 50. son of the
late Hetty Green. has been made
to feel Is years Younger by =
steinach rejuvenation operation
to which he submitted last mon,h
it was disclosed today.
The operation -- originated by
Prof. Eugen Steinach Of Vienna
was performed by DR.. Henry
s. Pascal at st. Elizcbeth's Hos
pital.
It caused Green to be laid up
for week in The hospital arc
for short time thereafter Al
his apartment, DR.. Pascal said.
Then he went on Florida cruise
with his wife in the HouSeboat
Pioneer, lately used by Prcsidcn;
Harding, and in a letter 10 q
New York friend stated he felt
better than at any time during
the last - years.
The Steinach method, which
does not involve monkey glands
or anything of that kind, was
first heard of in this country when
Dr.. Adolf Lorenz, the noted spc-
cialist. announced that he had
undergone it. Shortly thereafter
friends noted a decided change
for the better in the distinguished
surgeons appearance. The Stein
ach system consists Of minor
operation on a gland duet where
by the secretion is revived anG
strengthened. Steinach contends
that this retards the approach of
old age. Because of the fact that
new glands are not required and
the order is brief. the Austrian
method may find favor over the
more familiar means Of restor-
ing youth.
Colonel Green owns large hold
ings in Texas. He also inherited
half the estate of his mother and
is rated very wealthy.

St. Augustine, Fla, March 30
A concrete plan TO stop losses
Of the shipping board and stimu-
late the American Merchant Mar

/. An agreement by private
buyers to keep necessary routes
of trade open.
,. Point out To buyers the
routes most fertile in prospects
which would not hurt trade con-
iitions at present.
3. Willingness or the operators
to develop new markets anc
routes.
This plan is understood 10
have been prepared for submis-
SION to the cabinet and shipping
board after conferences between
Chairman A. l. Lasker Of the
Board and the President.
Under its provisions, as OUT
lined to the United Press, the
government would retain its pow
err to take over the ships in q
war emergency.
Some arrangement is being
sought to prevent undue losses
to the buyers during the period
oI trade development, though OF
course the government is not en-
powered to grant a subsidy.
The keynote of the whole plan.
it IS said. to make certain that
the progress the government NJ
ready has made in developing
the merchant marine and trad
ing routes shall not be lost while
at the same time losses to the
treasury shall cease. Harding

Berlin.=Heads of two police dis
tricts in Berlin have complained 10
Chief Richter that Americans are un
dermining the morale Of their forces.
They are unable to combat the sinister
influence of the care-free foreigners.
The other night, traffic at the busy
corner of Inter den Linden and VIII
helm strasse became hOpelessly jammeG
when two Americans bound toward an
expensive restaurant were suddenly
stricken with pity for the poor officer
who stood in the rain and cold wind
managing all the traffic by himself.
They invited him to accompany them
and, enseonced in a coy corner of d
high-class restaurant, they bought him
repeated rounds of Napoleon brandy
until the policeman forgot the roaring
traffic and passed an hour swapping
anecdotes of the war. When he reap
peared on his beat where frantic taxi
cab drivers were u%ntangling their
vehicles from a maze of horse cabs
and omnibuses, he carried a quart of
expensive liquor in his hip pocket. The
Inspector finally sent achievements
to unscramble the traffic tangle.
Close Up Jail.
This offense OF the Americans fol
lowed an early Sunday morning cpl
sode Of two weeks before, In which Il
whole station was corrupted. Two
Americans after "A joyous Saturday
night reused the exclusive West End
with a ribald singing of some of Amer
ica's best known barber shop sym
phonies. They were arrested and
taken to Jail. Refusing to be irritated
by their arrest they prevailed upon
one of the reserves to visit a nearby
all night cafe and bring back cham
payne. With each visit of the police
men. who arranged shifts between the
station house and the cafe, the melo-
dies became more mellow and the
American repertory was varied with
the Old German fayorites.
BY five o'clock in the morning the
neighbors began to complain and the
indignant policemen decided, upon the
suggestion Of the Americans, to close
the Jail. Accordingly they repaired to
one of the uptown hotels and visiting
the rooms Of several friends of the
Americans, who were to sail for Amer
lea tie same day, pronounced all their
passports invalid in such an earnest
manner that the sleepy guests were
obliged to buy more champagne when
rho s'io[a' was discovered.
Chief Is Indignant.
When the chief of the outlying sta
ton arrived and found the place locked
up he was a bit more han surprised,
but when his trusted officers finally re
turned in taxicabs, still singing
snatches of American songs and tell
ing about the regular fellows" they
had in Jail the night before, he was
astounded and penned an indignant re-
port to the police chief, suggesting that
all Americans be made ineligible for at
least the quiet, residential district
prisons.
Thus far there has been no ruling
excluding the visitors from the United
States from jails.
