Radium Restores
Plants To Life

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.-Radi-
um treatments TO restore apparent
dead plants and flowers to life
have been successful in experiments
conducted in greenhouses here by
Captain II. r. thinner, chemist and
inventor.
A cyclamen, candidate for a Saw
telle garbage container onlv a few
weeks ago. has been restored from a
feeble looking sem % a condition
more healthy than others in the
same lot.
"The secret Of the process is n
the control Of explosions Of the ra-
dunn emanations,' Captain thinner
said. "These, given off by radium,
release the energy that does the
work"
He said that in an early expert
ment he treated ordinary pebbles
with the radium solution and seat
tered them over field. He de-
clared that when the wheat ripened,
the acreage on which the pebbles
had been strewn stood high above
the rest of the field and yielded AZ
bushels compared to II bushels by
the others.

lions that the jury win not be com

With the selection # a Jury the
tate probably viii begin calling
witnesses, particularly auditors, to
establish tie fact that aDproximate-
" 100000 shares Of Julian stock
was overissued.
Chief Deputy District Attorney
Harold L. Davis said that the audi
tors Of Uaskins & Sells, employed
Nv the district attorneys office,
have been able to identify all of the
spurious stock, and have separated
1t from the legitimate issue.
In the first days Of the trial when
S. c. Lewis, former president If Jul.
ian Company, indicated in the ex-
animation of jurors that his de-
fcnse would be that the stock has
value, Judge Doran expressed the
opinion that the claims of holders
Of the illegal stock are prior to those

Some Of the defense attorneys,
while not admitting an overissue,

Committees Named
By Local Kiwanis

r. B. Whitclaw. newly elected
president Of the Kiwanis Club, pre-
sided at the weekly luncheon meet
ing of the club held at the Barbara
Worth hotel at noon yesterday. The
meeting was almost entirely spent
iii completing the appointment of
committees for the year and in ex-
claiming in detail the work of the
various committees.
These explanations were made by
the new president and by Earl
Jones, chairman of the days pro-
gram.
Guy Eeynon then gave a short ad-
dress on Kiwanis International, in
which he explained the meaning and
The aims of the national organiza-
ton. His talk was interesting
throughout.
W. f. Hancock then asked the
club to consider a plan for the ere
alton Of an employment agency Sn
the valley.
Hancock in making the request
said that at the present time there
is no such organization for agricul-
tural labor and that as result the
farmer and rancher are often forced
TO solicit his help on the street. The
result usually is unsatisfactory, he
declared.
The matter was turned over to the
board of directors Of the organiza
ton for consideration.

United Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Jan. 14.-Although
the agenda of the Sixth Pan Am
eriean Congress includes no ques-
tions of political nature, there are
half a dozen pending differences he
tween the United States and her
neighbors to the south that may
he nearer solution because of the
Friendly gathering Of diplomats
here Monday.
These include the Mexican oil
and land law tangle: the unsuc-
cessful attempt to settle the Tacna-
africa controversy between Peru
and Chile; certain clauses in the
treaty which the United States is
attempting to negotiate with Pan
anna and differences with Argen-
tina over trade barriers and embar-
70 measures which have met with
adverse comment in the press of
Latin America.
Then there is in the background
the recent activities of the United
States marines in Nicaragua.
Plan Permanent Basis
In contrast with these lively
topics, there is for leading topic
in the agenda a plan to place the
Pan American Union on a perma-
nent basis through a treaty defin-
ing its scope and activities. The
draft convention has already been
prepared and received the approval
Of the governing board Of the Pan
American Union and would appear
=" contain no unexpected comDusti-
bles.
ON the surface the agenda is
politically non-ccntroversial. It's
appearance is mild and reassuring.
Only those familiar with previous
Pan American congresses realize
how near the surface the undercur-
rents of Latin American politics
swirl.
When it is recalled, however, that
in some quarters of Latin America
the proposal has already been ad-
vanced that the seat of the Union
might more properly be transferred

PRESIDENT AND
PARTY GREETED
BY SOUTHERNERS
Delegation to Conference
In Cuba Proceeding on
Way to Beard Ship.
BY CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondent

ABOARD PRESIDENT COOL
IDGE'S SPECIAL TRAIN, JACK
SONVILLE, Fla, Jan. II. - The
president IS Friendship Special, "
bearing him on the first leg of his
journey to the Havana Pan Ameri-
can conference, reached here short
ly before $3.50 a. m. today.
The president was up nearly an
hour before arrival here, shaved
with his old fashioned razor, break
tasted on Florida strawberries and
bacon and eggs with hot cakes.
He went out to the rear platform
for breath of air and to view the
scenery but was disappointed at
the rain and fog.
The president s associates, in
cluding the American delegates to
the Havana session, anticipated
pleasurably the chief executive s
Monday speech and their contacts
with Latin American delegates.
They hoped the journey, like Col
onel Lindbergh s Central American
air invasion, would serve to make
Pan-American unity a more vivid
reality and they foresaw that this
venture of the president beyond the
borders of his own land bearing 4
message of amity to cur Latin
neighbors would serve to give the
colossus of the NORTH n happier
meaning than sometimes accorded
to it to the southwark.
May Outline Position
There was speculation that the
president or his chairman, Charles
Evans Hughes, might have some
proposals Of startling Importance
for the conference. This was not
borne ont by associates of the pres.
idcnt, however.
Hughes, it was suggested, may
outline for the press the delega-
tion S position before arrival in
Havana. There is every disposition
to believe that other delegations will
avoid topics such as American ma
rine action in Nicaragua, which
might tend to cause severe controv.
ersies.
The president and his party late
this afternoon were to spend an
hour sightseeing in Miami and
Miami Beach before proceeding to
Key West tomorrow where they
board the battleship Texas for the
journey TO Cuba.
Last night the president and his
immediate party laughed at VIII
Rogers movie, a Texas Steer" "
and had foretaste of the beauties
Of Cuba in a Cuban travel film
shown in their special car.
