SECRET OF LIFE
 NEAR DISCOVERY
Test Tube May Yet Produce
 Vital Spark

Chicago, Dec. 9 (UP)-The Chi cago Tribune in a special dispatch from Cleveland said yesterday that the secret of life, for which science has been searching for years, may lie in a test tube in the biological laboratory of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, over which the noted scientist, Dr G. W. Grille is the guid- ing genius
 Penetrating to a slight degree the wall that has been erected about what may be one Of the most start ing of scientific discoveries" the Tribune said. "a reporter was able to catch a glimpse of the unnamed thing that may verify certain radi- cal scientific theories concerning the nature Of the force called life.
 This promise might be fulfilled v the Tribune said, If the creature that is said to live and breathe in the biologists test tube, a thing without parents and reputablY born in defiance Of all accepted and rec ognized processes Of procreation, does not sappoint it's human crea- tors"

contended the church, as such, has no place in a contest for the election Of a president" and even suggested supplanting some dry organizations
 Virtually all the 100 delegates he addressed represented either church CT temperance societies.
 Discusses Referendum
 Three blocks away. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Meth cdist Board of Temperance, laid be- fore the annual meeting of his board the challenge of a referendum. He opened his annual report with a reference to the great alarm being expressed by some of our timid peo pie in regard to newspaper publicity about referendum"
 Scarcely 12 hours before. the temperance council behind closed doors had recorded unanimous standing vote against any such pro- rosal Dr. Wilson was not present The resolution adopted said that having won the 18th amendment, there is no occasion for the dry forces to join in any movement by referendum or other process for it's repeal"
 Predicts Battle ROyai'
 F. Scott MCBride, superintendent of the Anti Saloon league, in a mili- tant address had predicted q prohi- bition battle royal' in the 1892 conventions of both parties, and de- feat for the republican party of its candidate was wet or moist. The council also had heard the name of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie brandt brought up but tabled a mo- ton that she be invited in person. The present activities of the former assistant attorney general in her po- sition as counsel for grape concen- trate concern, were further discussed in secret last night
 Dr. Wilson in his report criticized shifting the prohibition bureau from the treasury to the justice depart ment saying we imagined it would take two years to do this and get it on a working basis.' He added: This have proven to be the case and will be the situation for some time to come.'
 Urges Referendum Although agreeing with Stewart that "a church organization is not in party politics" the Methodist chieftain said such a group could not stand silent before non-observ- ance of prohibition "and weak and apologetic enforcement" In his ad- vocacy of a constitutional expres- sion of sentiment from the country on prohibition. he said:
 We have no doubt that the time | has come to call the bluff of the wet propagandists by saying, If you want d real referendum .. We will meet you half way" i Stewart, told the 100 dry leaders at the council that since the vets had taken the question into party policies either We will meet them there and defeat them or see the eighteenth amendment in great [ danger"
 Our battles,' he said, must be | fought and won by warriors who are not members of the church as well as those who are. The orga nization which embraces them all must be 1 political, not religious or eCclesias- 1 tical."

HYDE CONDEMNS
 LOANS FOR FOOD
Cabinet Member Says GoVern-
 ment Not Justified in Step

Washington, Dec. g P-Outright condemnation of government loans for purchase Of food, uttered by cabinet member, confronted the sen ate today. Yet it took up drought relief legislation, apparently with every intention of providing just such a fund.
 This effort on behalf of the $25,- 100000 administration set limit on loans to farmers of drought states. was made last night by Secretary Hyde. The senate, containing group Of democrats who yesterday openly opposed the pledge of their leaders for cooperation with the re- publlcans, had before it the McNary s60,00O,000 relief proposal. It in cludes some $300OU,OOO specifically intended for the purchase of food by destitute farmers.
 There is no more justification for the government to furnish farmers (Wlth food) in the drought area" said Hyde, than there would be in furnishing food to any other section
 
 class of our people who may be in distress. I believe this attitude will be supported by the substantial farmers of the country
 Issues Warning
 If we go beyond the established precedents of loans for seed feed for animals and fertilizer. we are T a national and governmental view point, and in the long run will be doing great injury to the agricultur- al industry"
 Hyde said further that such loans would come perilously near a dole, would conflict with the recommend ed expansion of road construction work designed to furnish employ ment and also would duplicate care of distress by the Red Cross
 The McNary drought relief pro- posal had unanimous support of the senate agriculture committee and that of Senator Robinson, the dem ocratic leader, who was among the signers of the cooperation pledge The democratic outburst carried no objection to this legislation beyond terming the entire Hoover relief pro- gram mere drop in the bucket.
 Urge Tax Increase
 It did include demands. however. for large additional appropriations An increase in the higher bracketed income taxes was advocated to meet the cost.
 The administration principal hopes for suppression of these pro- posals lay in the dominant republi- can forces of the house. That branch today had before it the other end Of the Hoover relief program, the public works bill, cut to $llU.00O,- 900. As soon as this measure is passed-regular supply bills arc to be sidetracked for it-a house yer sion of the drought bill will be talk en up. This calls for a s30, ,0O0, ,010 appropriation. but an effort to oh- tain twice that much is to be made there also.

ment admitted relucantly that something approximating life" has been produced and that something amazing and revolutionary has taken place there"
 The experiment was discovered as follows:
 Brain tissues taken from a fresh- ly killed animal were reduced to ashes electrically. From the result ing substances certain salts and other elements were obtained. To this substance was added protein and perhaps some other elements and chemicals. The whole was treated electrically.
 Before the eyes of the astonished scientists there appeared a thing or protozoa.
 Moved About
 The thing possessed the power of locomotion. It also possessed and utilized the power of procrea- ton by fision cell division It fed on the protein in the test tube, con- suming it as other unicellular ami mals do their nourishment.
 Tn addition it was found that the thing was susceptible to narcotics. becoming dormant when subjected 10 certain drugs and later recover ing.
 Tt was declared that owing to the care taken in the experiment no living thing could possibly have en- tered the ingredients of the concoc- tion.'
 The Tribune quoted Dr. William E. Lower, an associate of pr. Chile, as expressing the opinion that the latter would lay his facts before the meeting of the American Society for the Advancement of Science which meets in Cleveland Christmas week.
