AGE HAS NO TERROR
FOR VIENNESE FOLK
Home of Youth Producing Glands
Least Enthusiastic Over
Discovery.
Correspondence of The Star and New York
World.

Correspondence of The Star and New York
World.
VIENNA, November 15.-Vienna is
content with old age. ...
Such at least is the conclusion of
foreign scientists who have come here
to learn at first hand the methods of
Prof. Steindch. originator of gland
rejuvenation.
Vienna, the home Of eternal youth
they say, ignores completely the
founta in which one of its native sons
created. During the past year not
one Austrian has come forward to re-
capture the glow of youth by the
surgeons knife. Eiennese newSpa-
pers, always greedy for boulevard
sensations, pass this one hastily by.
In the cafes the latest revolt in
the Balkans, the Einstein theory.
Mussolini, Freud are all discussed
with much animation. But if you
came to ask the people what Prof
Steinach and his work might be doing
at the moment they would look at
you in ignorant surprise. Most of
them have probably never heard of
nor remembered Prof. Steinach, or if
so, ever thought it sufficiently inter
esting to keep posted.
In Paris, London, New York, Berlin
the Steinach treatment is being ex-
tensively applied. Now and then an
important development is published
by the papers. Such as, for instance,
the substitution of X-rays for the
monkey glands originally employed,
which proved rather expensive and
what is more, not always readily
forthcoming. Especially in Paris re-
markable results have been attained
with the x-ray treatment for the re-
juvenatton of women.
Vienna's apathy is ascribed to the
shyness of Prof. Steinach, who fears
the publication of the results of any
Of his experiments might be miscon-
ssSSed as personal advertising.
According to one of Prof. Steinach's s
pupils, the master scientist was hor-
rified at the publicity his discovery
received at the time of the Steinach
sensation a few years ago. Since then
he has made 1t an unwritten law that
all results of his Investigations are to
be kept from the press.

BUYER OF FURS WARNED
TO WATCH FAKE NAMES
Rabbits Often Sold Under Aliases
of Seal, Chinchilla and Ermine,
Dealers Say.

OLYMPIA, Wash, December g.
Fur-bearing animals the world over
are steadily decreasing in number,
but it will be possible to purchase
some 80 varieties on the market, by
name at least, as long as there are
plenty of rabbits, hares and mu0 =
rats obtainable, according to officials
of the Federal biological Survey here.
The survey is undertaking a cam
paign against the misnaming of furs.
the movement having been started to
protect the public against unscrupu-
lous dealers.
Hares and rabbits, say the officials,
are being sold under the names of
American seal, Arctic seal, Cape seal,
cat, chinchilla, clipped seal, coney,
ermine, fox, French sable. Geller seal,
La Meuse seal, new seal, Baltic fox,
Baltic seal, muskrat, northern seal,
polar seal. Semeuse seal and sable.
Muskrat appears on the market, 1t is
claimed, under such alluring titles as
Aleutian seal, electric seal, Hudson
Bay seal, mole, real seal, Red River
seal, river mink, river sable and Rus
sian otter.
No fault is found with names that
merely fail to call attention to the
fact that particular fur comes from
the back of cat, rabbit or hare, but
objection is made, the officials ex-
plain, to fake names meant to deceive
the buyer and induce him to pay an
unfairly high price.

law holding that publication of income
tax returns was illegal is in violation
of the first amendment to the Constitu-
tion. which grants freedom of the press,
the court held. Similar cases are now
awaiting decision in other courts.
Another decision on the publicity of
income tax figures was handed down in
Washington this week by Justice Hoehl-
ing of the District Supreme Court, who
refused to prevent the commissioner of
internal revenue, David X Blair, from
making available to public inspection
the names of taxpayers with the amount
Of taxes paid. The decision resulted
from suit for an injunction against
Mr.. Blair filed by Gorham Hubbard a
taxpayer of Boston, who wished to test
the law. The court held that under the
law the income tax returns constituted
public records, and It was the duty
therefore of the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue to make them public The
court said that publication of the tax
lists by newspapers was an interesting
question, but was not involved in the
case before him.

The President.

President Coolidge spent a busy
week, sending two messages to Con-
gress and speaking twice in Chicago.
Forwarding the budget to Congress
last Tuesday, he pointed out that
present estimates indicate a surplus
of revenues over expenditures for the
present fiscal year of $67,SS4,4S9 and
a surplus for the fiscal year 1926 of
S373,743,741. He advised against fur
ther reduction of taxation until def
mite results of the last reduction are
known. He strongly urged Congress
to continue economy in appropria-
tions.
The President sent his annual
message to Congress Wednesday. 1t
was read in both houses of Congress
thus breaking the custom re-estab-
lished by President Wilson and fol-
lowed since, OF addressing in person
the two houses of Congress. The
President reiterated his plea for econ
omy, took a stand for progress "in
an orderly, sound and common-sense
way" and pointed to the fact that at
no time in the last e years have our
foreign. relations been so satisfactory
as at present. Opposing entrance to
the Leagu of Nations, the President
declared that while we desire always
to cooperate and to help. we are
equally determined to be independent
and free" He renewed his recon-
mendation that the United States be-
come a member of the World Court,
with the condition that the United
States shall not be bound by adyi
sorry opinions which may be rendered
by the court upon questions which we
have not voluntarily submitted for
its judgment" He fayors a further
reduction of armament, but makes 1t

until after the conference proposed
by the League of Nations has been
held. The United States, he points
out, will not be represented officially
1t that conference.
Leaving Washington Wednesday the
President travelled to Chicago, where
he made two speeches, one before the
International live stock exposition
and the other before the Commercial
Club.
In his two speeches the President
pointed out what the Government is
doing for the farmer and what the
farmer must do for himself TO reap
the full advantages of governmental
aid. He touched on foreign affairs
with the statement that cooperation
among the nations is as necessary to
secure permanent and stable peace as
allies in the time of war are needed
to secure victory.
Leaving Chicago Thursday night
the President returned to Washing
ton Friday evening.

The Courts.

A decision Of far-reachipg importance
to naval officers throughout the country,
and one which challenges the power of
the controller of the United States-an
office In which Congress has intrusted
sweeping authority, was handed down
by Justice Hoehling, in the District Su-
preme Court last week. The controller
general, Mr.. McCarl, withheld the pay
of a number of naval officers to offset
payments to them previously made, but
afterward disallowed by the Government.
These payment swere in the form of
allowances. The court held, in deciding
q test case brought by one Of the Of
ficers, that the controller general lacked
this authority. The controller general
probably will note an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court for final
decision.

QUARTZ GOOD FOR REToRTS
Molding Such Material Into Shape a
Problem That Has Been Finally
Solved.

The intense heat which the mineral
quartz is capable of standing makes
1t unusually suitable as a material for
retorts, cruclbles and the like when
these are to be used In chemical work
requiring high temperatures. But If
these quartz vessels themselves are to
endure such high heats how are they.
to be nodded?
This problem has been solved in a
novel and practical way, says the
Washington Star. The maker packs
beach sand (Which is composed largely
of quartz) around carbon rod in the
center of carbon cylinder with
bore of about eight inches. Then he
sends sufficient current through these
carbon terminals to melt the sand and
let the quartz form into single tube
weighing over 100 pounds. This tube
is drawn out of its carbon furnace
with tongs while still hot and the hole
In it is stuffed with either potatoes or
lime, after which the tube is squeezed
shut at each end, and the hot mass is
put into molds of the desired shape.
Owing to the heat the potatoes or
lime generate considerable gas, which
presses the hot metal out against the
sides of the mold. For cutting and
finishing the quartz vessels when cold
the maker uses both sandblast and
saws fitted with teeth of carborun-
dunn, another product of the electric
furnace. But the start in every case
is obtained by melting the quartz
crystals into a single mass in the in
tense heat of a simple electrical fur
mace.

AESSENING FERTILIZER CoSl
Nitrogen From Air and hydrogen
From Water Combine to Make
Cheap Ammonia.

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers using
ammonia as a principal ingredient,
may be made at prices to compete with
those using nitrogen from such natu-
raj sources as Chile saltpeter, Charles
o. Brown, consulting chemist of ProYi
dence, told members Of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers. The
nitrogen may be derived from the air
by any one of several processes; the
hydrogen, which is the other compo
nent of amomnia, may be had from
water.
Economy In production of hydrogen
from water, which is a well-known
method, may be effected, Mr.. Brown
said, through use Of a special type OF
electric cell and through utilization of
electricity from hydro electric power
plants at other times than that of the
peak load. 1t is cheaper, he said, to
sell such power at a low rate than
to waste 1t, and the manufacture of
hydrogen offers profitable use for 1t.
Another good source of hydrogen, in
the speakers opinion, is gases of coke
ovens. These are two chief sources
for what he termed "by-product ny
drogen." Such secondary methods of
manufacture were the most suitable
nent Of ammonia, may be had from
Mr.. Brown declared.
Mr.. Brown predicted that hydrogen
may be produced from coke ovens at
the cost of 20 cents per 1000 feet, and
from water at from % to 88 cents,
depending on the cost of the electricity
used. The production cost of anhy-
drous ammonia. using "by-product by
drogen," he figured as from 3.S4 to
6.32 cents a pound, which would en-
able the production of commercial fer
tillzer at lower cost than that now
made from natural sources Of ammonia
and nitrogen.
