Great Increase in Size of Animals

BERKELEY, Calf, January Is
DIR. Herbert NJ. Evans, one of the fore
most scientists in anatomy and
glandular nutrition and a faculty
member of the University of Cali
fornia, announced in the current issue
of the California Monthly, campus
publication, the development of a
glandular nutrition with which he
claimed to have had remarkable sue
cess in physical control and propaga-
tion of animals.
The discovery has been termed
vitamin "x' by DR.. Evans, who states
that research work has been carrie d
out for some time with guinea pigs,
rats and tadpoles.
Experiments Explained.
DR.. Evans called attention to a
small gland at the base of the brain
called the "hypopysis" or pituitary
gland. Science, he said, already had
met with success in removing that
gland from animals and substituting
fluid extracted from 1T for injections
given the same animals. Continuing,
he said:
I'VE wwere astonished to find that
If we treated animals with this fluid,
provided 1t was not given by the
mouth, but under the skin or in body
cavities where it would not come in
contact with the digestive tissues,
and was administered daily, rather
than at infreQuent intervals, we could
turn normal animals into giants"
He stated that efforts were being
made by him and his assistants to
purify the pituitary gland fluid so
that it might even be used in human
cases as a restorative. Relating his
success in regulating propagation of
animals with glandular nutrition. DR..
Evans says;
The next point which arises is just
how this will concern the practical
problems of human welfare. 1t Is
difficult to make any statement re-
garding the practical significance of
the work, primarily because we have
demonstrated that the new vitamin
is abundantly distributed in common
foods"

Italian Plane Falls, Flyers Be-

CAIRO, Egypt, April 16.-The ques-
ton of the western frontier of Egypt
seems to have been revived through
an accident which recently betell an
Italian airplane.
The Italian authorities traced one
of the airmen, who died from exhaus-
ton. The fate of the two other men
in the plane is unknown.
The Italians are said to be of the
opinion that traces of the aviators
should be available on the Egyptian
side of the frontier, but the Egyptian
government maintains that all steps
possible have been taken to find the
alrmen. but without success.
1t was officially announced that con
versations between Italy and Egyps
have established two facts. The frs.
of these is that there never has been
on the part of Italy the slightest in
tention to exercise pressure which
could be considered as a formal de
mand of territory from Egypt. The
second is that the boundary question
is being considered by both sides in a

PERMIT TO EXPLORE

Any Excavations in Green

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, April 16.-The per
mission granted the explorer Donald
3. Macmillan by the Danish govern
ment. 1t was stated today, comprises
the right to visit and photograph the
old Viking settlement in Western
Greenlan nd. The explorer, however, is
prohibited from making excavations
or removing matters of ethnographic
interest.
The Danish press refers adversely
to the remarks of Mr.. Macmillan to
President Coolidge in Washington sew
eral days ago, to the effect that the
American Government should make
every effort to claim additional terri
tory near the North Pole and refer
ring to Denmark's S having a foothold
in Greenland that might prove en-
barrassing TO the United States if
landing zones for airshipS and air
planes were needed in the north.
In an interview on the subject, Home
Secretary Christian Hauge said: The
United States was the first country to
recognize Denmark's sovereignty in
Greenland. Therefore. the American
claim to additional territory near the
North Pole can only mean that TO OBJ
tain Danish permission to land air
craft in Greenland in order to acquire
land in that district will necessitate
negotiations with the Danish govern
ment."
The Danish explorer Bret Smith eX-
pressed much doubt whether respon-
Sible Americans would follow MacAIil-
lan'S lead.
