LIVE 1000 YEARS

Discoveries Will End Death From Natural Causes, Claim

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.-Men in the prime of life now will have a chance to live 1000 years, according to Prof. Fritz Haber, eminent German scientist, who has been in this city at tending the centenary celebration 0f the Franklin institute. He declared that science would bring forth discov- cries that would produce a race of su- permen, who may expect to live as long as 1000 years, through elimination of the causes of natural death.
 Hardly less impressive from the strictly scientific point of view was another opinion of Dr. Haber that sci ence will never be able to create life, itself

(By Leased Wire To The Age-Heraldl
 NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Avoidins any direct reference to the political campaign, Senator La Toilette, inde pendent presidential candidate, paid q strong tribute Sunday to the foreign clements in the United States from which he is expected to gather consider able strength in November.
 Addressing the Steuben society at the Yarkee stadium, La Toilette referred tc "the heart breaking humiliation suffered by citizens of German blood under the stress of war hysteria," and declared:
 "The German element in our popula- tion passed through that reign of terror with extraordinary credit and forti- tude"
 II do not address you as candl. date," the senator said at the outset. T am not here to discuss political is- sues. My purpose is to suggest in q few words how much the nations of Europe have contributed to the ad- vancement of the United States.
 Lauds German Element
 Tt is fitting on this occasion that should dwell especially on the great part played by the German element ih cur population in the making of America
 La Toilette commended the support "accorded by Wisconsin citizens of German stock to our progressive move ment," and also the general readiness of midwestern citizens of immigrant stock from Germany. Scandinavia, Ire land, Poland and elsewhere to absorb progressive political ideas.
 He denounced the refusal of Ameri- can communities shortly after the war to hear the music of Wagner or to listen to Kreisler. the great Austrian violnoist. and criticized the movement ia some states to forbid the teaching of German or other foreign languages in the schools.
 Folly Short.Lived
 'The folly and stupidity that prompted this legislation interfering with American liberty was bound to be short lived" he said. "A like fate awaits every form of bigotry and fla naticism attempted in this country
 Most of La Follette's address was devoted to discussion of the i'm portant political, civic, artistic and patriotic services rendered this coun- try by racial clements arriving later than the original colonial stock.
 Tt is estimated that so per cent of our people are of different origin from the colonial descendant group" he pointed out.
 "The real test of American citizen ship is not the family tree" La Toilette asserted. Nor does it lie in being able to trace ancestry back to colonial ori- gin. The real test is the citizens en- thusiasm and determination to share in the everyday work of making the government of the United States serve it's original purpose
