VIENNA, Feb. 2S-Ihe gland eX- perts rather belatedly, have turned their attention to women. Male rats, male guinea pigs. even men have cap cred with the exhiliration consequent upon new set of glands, but women not to mention Mrs. Rat, and Mrs. Guinea Pig-have been denied the eX- perience This was deliberate sex dis elimination, and if We may believe the experts, but simply a question of anatomy, the male architecture being sturdie- and far less complicated than the female.
 A small building near the Pratteur in Vienna is known as the home of 1lelhGSaieh Methusaleh is rat ard h. deserves the name for the number Of great great grandchildren ne has C;:tli, cd Nethusaleh was given new glanae in the early days of gianu ex- TerimenIatiun and he disports himself wi:h the dic,.ity befnting q scientific lICIcN1 Ie 10 dlSo huoh II a. the headquarters and labratory of IT S.cinach. the surgeon who 12gan the study of glands way back in '>9:.

 The duration of the rejuvinatiOn has perhaps, yet to be proved, but Dr. Steinach never claimed that he was capable of dispensing youth. Indeed. he declares he does not even pretend to lengthen life. What he claims is that he can chang the usual pattern of mans life, reducing the length of old age and lengthening that of youth.
 Now he and Professor Holzknecht, the Viennese Rontgen-ray expert, are experimenting with the use of the -ont gen ray in the rejuvenation of women. It has long been known that the ray had a rejuvenating erect on women. It was also known that the efforts were most contradictory an overdose producing symptoms of advanced age, such as badness. The first patients were guinea pigs.
 The glands of three were "rayed." :" After three or four weeks their hair began to fall out. After eight weeks they were apparently fully developed; in fact, these little maiden pigs were able to feed baby pigs. In consequence of the rontgen ray, they had leaped from childhood so to speak, into wom- anhood.
 Further experiments proved that an excessive raying killed the pig, that everything depended upon discovering the exact length of time the ray should be used, and the strength of the ray used. When the pigs were dis sected, it was found that the part of the gland possessing a purely general i've function was atrophied, but the part whose mysterious function was to stimulate youth had greatly enlarg- ed. This seemed to prove that the function of the gland could be sped-up with rontgen rays. It also proved that the treatment resulted in sterilization.
 There after many women who had been treated with the ray for various diseases were studied.
 Many of them evidenced symptoms
