GLAND CURE
EXPLAINED
Hopkins Audience Told by
Vienna Doctor Youth Can
Be Renewed.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 17.-Youth can
be restored again and again through
an indefinite period of time by the
Steinach glandular operation, 1t was
declared by Prof, Paul Kammerer,
noted biologist of Vienna and Stein
ach collaboration, who spoke in the
medical amphitheater at Johns Hop
kins Hospital.
DR.. Kammerer insisted opponents
of the Steinach theory were "all
wrong" He added:
1T is more than mere delay Of
senility and decay. The recondition-
ing of the body into a state of youth
fulness is possible as often as is
desired"
There Is less hope Of eternal
youth" for women than there IL for
men, however, he said The opera
ton, although declared to be perfect
~ safe for men, is more dangerous
and less successful on women, ac-
cording to DIR. Kammerer.

men and students, when he declared

Chicago Psychologist
To Give Speeders
Mental Test

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Prof.
Howard r. Mayberry, president
of the psychology department
of the University Of Chicago,
has submitted to the Chicago
organization fighting reckless
automobile speeding, his plans
to halt the growing death list.
He proposed to have all feeble
minded and reckless drivers
eliminated by tests.
One test consists in allowing
the subjects, by means of con-
troll devices, to direct the move
ments of a toy automobile
through the streets of a model
city placed before him on a
flat table. Traffic jams are
created and must be avoided.
Psychologists also advocate
the passage of a law to stand-
ardize the gear shift, he said.
After much practice the act of
shifting becomes unconscious.
If then the driver handled a car
with a different gear operation
he is likely to do the wrong
thing unconsci0usly in a crisis.

FAKE
S0SCALLS|S
SOUGHT
Unknown Radio Operator
Sends Ships Scurrying Up
and Down Coast.
BY international News Service.


NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Search for
what is believed to be a radio oper-
ator sending fake rs o s" calls,
from an unknown station some-
where along the Atlantic coast, was
instituted by naval radio chiefs to-
day.
At 1928 o'clock yesterday morning
a distress signal was picked up at
both the Philadelphia and New York
navy yards. Frantic appeals for
further nformation-the location of
the ship in distress, the nature OF
its accident and its name were
asked, without a reply.
An identical message, apparently
sent from the same set, was re-
ceived at the same hour Christmas
morning, and although coast guard
cutters then, and now, steamed up
and down the coast. nothing could
be learned of a craft in distress.
The messages, It was stated, were
sent from a spark cola set
broadcasting q broad, highly damp
ened interfering wave, almost i'm
possible to identify as to location
by the radio compass.
Naval officials feared to assume
the message was a fake. AS a re-
suit coast guard cutters were or
dered to patrol the sea between the
Delaware breakwater and New York.
Other ships were ordered to stand
by in the event Of emergency.
Prosecutions will follow in the
event the messages are found to
be fakes, and the sender is located,
naval officials said.

Death entered the Christmas cele-

children of the neighborhood. The

ana a jolly Santa in red suit and
turs had distributed little sacks of
candy. while parents and friends
who packed the small one-room
structure to capacity looked ON.
Santa reached for one of the few
remaining candy sacks. His arm
struck a candle on the Christmas
tree. 1t fell from its place and q
ball of cotton on the tree burst into
flames. There was a rush to put out
the fire and the: tree fell over. scat

windows, beating out the panes. only
to find the openings covered by a

shattered, brisk wind blew through
the room, tanning the flames, and
the fiimsy~ structure caught like
firewood.
Many were crushed in the jam be-
fore the door and it is believed that
most of them who persisted had been
injured before the flames found them.
The injured were taken TO Hobart
