Rochester, Mich, Aug. - CUP)-
Tess, one of the worlds greatest
life savers. observed her 18th birth
day at Parkedale Farm here today.
Tess is mare who has never
been hitched to a wagon but who
has nevertheless. pulled thousands
Of lives out of danger. When she
was four years old she was added
to the erd which is maintained by
the Participants Research Labora-
tories to provide serums in the war

1917, that she came to Parkdale
and she was Immediately assignee
to the group producing tetanus anti
toxin for the protection Of the
American soldiers.
In the II years she has been on
the job, Tess has produced 1,o2S
quarts of tetanus antitoXin. con-
tanning o65,06o,950 ontitetanic
units. which amounts to thousands
of doses. The soldiers in the war

from having offspring. The operation
OF course fulfills its immediate OBJ
1ect. But the criminal incltnations OF
the patient remain unhindered. If in
appropriate cases, the prisoners were
subjected to gland graft. not only
would any children they might have
probably be free from criminal
tendency but the patient himself
would be restored to the outside
world az 4 normal individual.
remember once reading an article
in which the writer suggested that
with the opening OF the era OF gland
transportation. there came gold
en- opportunity for criminals to buy
back their past. They could. It was
suggested, offer their thyroid gland
to hospitals in order that feeble
minded children of poor parents
should be operated on and restored
to mental health.
The idea Ia one which could pave
the way to a great controversy.
What, for instance, should the giver
receive in exchange for his sacri-
flee? Freedom? If he were a con-
firmed habitual criminal would 1t
mean releasing him to a renewal Of
his life OF criminal exploits? II his
habit was due to mental disease. then
might the disease possibly be trans
mitted to the child and the child. rs
result, become criminally INTEL
ligent? II he was healthy Of both
body and mind and his crimes were
merely the result Of bad example re-
ceived In youth, then might the
child to whom his gland might be
given become a criminal through
atavism?
do not agree that there would
be any danger along these lines. No
more than rejuvenated man or
woman becomes like = monkey or
forms the habits of monkeys as q
result Of gland graft. There is simply
no necessity for using human glands
to rejuvenate either the bodies OF
the otherwise healthy or the minds
of imbeciles or criminals. As long as
monkeys are obtainable, surely 1t
would be worth the price OF one OF
them to perform the desired opera
ton.

CURE FOR crime
BY AN OPERATION
Scientists Discuss Methods Of
Treating Criminals
By DOCTOR SERGE voRoNoFF

BY DOCTOR SERGE voRoNoFF
(ln an interview with Henry +.
Russell.)
United Press Staff Correspondent
London. Aug. 24.-(UP)-Those
criminals whose instincts are due to
a disease which proves amenable to
gland graft treatment should be
benefited and in some cases cured
by submitting to thyroid graft.
The theory whereby the gland Of
a monkey could be made to become
the Sherlock Holmes of a campaign
to stamp out crime Is fascinating.
1t is based on the admitted fact that
disease is responsible for much of
the worlds criminality. Such for
instance is the case in many horri-
Bile crimes where perverted actions
have been readily traced solely to q
weak mind.
In other cases, however, the GRIM
inal instinct is often traced to
atavism or even 10 contamination by
immoral or otherwise debased sur
roundings and living conditions.
To graft a monkeys thyroid gland
on a healthy man driven to crime for
instance by hunger, would be quite
useless. Nor would it be possible
to cure a mans criminal instincts by
one of my operations if those In
stincts were acquired by him
through the bad example OF GRIM
inal near-to-kin.
1t is safe to say. however. that II
a career of crime could be traced
exclusively to feeble mindedness and
that the state of the criminals mind
could in turn be traced to a diseased
condition of his thyroid gland. then
an absolute cure would be obtained
by grating a healthy thyroid In
place fthe deficient gland.

Opening the republican campaign
in the east yesterday in an address
at Rock Point, +. l., Senator Cur

speak next Tuesday in the back

had planned to discuss agriculture
there but the senator showed in his
first appearance in the national
campaign yesterday that he prefers
to stump without prepared
speeches and in the way he has
done it for more than a third OF a
century in his native state.
While sticking to his theme OF
tariff revision, promising fuller pro-

Lincoln, Ncb., Oct. 25.-(AP)-
Governor Adam McMullen today said
Herbert Hoover will call q special

OF the United States.
"On my own initiative, Of nv own

know whether he meant business
about doing something for agricul-
ture. For an hour We talked over

He said he contemplates il elect
ed, calling . special session Of con-
gress for the sole purpose of taking
up the agricultural question. He
said that II = special session Of con-
gress was not called It would be q
year before the question could be
taken up and another year before

into operation.

ference, which would Be powerless.
Governor Smith knows what he pro-
poses to give the farmers and he
would not need 4 conference.
Il am convinced that Mr.. Hoover
means to propose some kind of leg.

Brother Dutton, IS, Begins 43d
Year Of Work With Lepers

Honolulu, Oct. 25.-A smiling. en-
ergetic man of IS, with CHEEKY
wrinkles about his eyes and Z flow
ing. patriarchal white beard, is wait
ing for death to take him on the job
as he goes into the forty-third con-
secutive year Of one Of the most
self-sacrificing tasks any man has
ever had.
He is the famous Brother Joseph
Dutton, Catholic lay missionary n
the leper settlement on the island Of
Molokai.
Brother Dutton has been in the
leper colony, without moments in
termission, since the summer of
1886. He will stay there until he
dies.
It was in 1843 that Brother Dut-
ton was born, in the village Of Stowe,
Vt. His family moved to Wisconsin
while he was boy, and after gradu-
ating from an academy at James,
vile, Wis.,, he enlisted in the north
ern army and served throughout the
Civil war.
At that time he had no notion Of
going to any missionary fields. Com
missioned q captain shortly before
the war expired and transferred to
the quartermaster's department, he
remained in that post for more than
a decade after the close Of hostilities,
working principally on the adjust
ment Of war claims.
Then, in 1886, he heard Of the
great work being done for the lepers
at Molokai by. the famous Father
Damien, immortalized by Robert
Louis Stevenson. He became fired
by the ambition to help, 30 he went
to San Francisco and sailed for
Honolulu, going from here by boat
to Molokai, where he went to Father
Damien and offered his services.
From that moment he has not left
the island.
= Father Damien died . few years
later, and since that time Brother
Dutton has been perhaps tho best
known and most widely loved man
on Molokai. He has never spared
himself; often his days work has
extended for q full ~ hours.
Shortly after Father Damien's
death Brother Dutton devoted him-
self to the construction Of Z home
for orphaned boys and for the help
less cases among adult lepers. For
years he seldom left this building
surrounded constantly by pitifully
stricken and disfigured lepers, to
whom he devoted all Of his time.
Through oil OF this he. has
