AISNE REBUILDING
 WARN-TORN TOWNS
Rapid reconstruction Going For
 ward in "Ihe Hinge"

Laon, France, Aug. 2 CUP)-The French General staff spoke of the Aisne as The Hinge" during the war. For three -fourths Of the uper- ations on the western front t served that purpose. The furthcst point Of German penetration. both in 1914 and 1918, was in the Aisne, whose peninsular tip reaches the Marne at Chateau-Thierry.
 Under the circumstances, it could not but have suffered more severe ly than some of it's neighbors. h. deed, it's most inconspicious clump of wood achieved doubtful fame. In the northwest lies the industrial city of Saint Quentin with it's ia nous canal and tunnel. In the lower center are the salt mines of Soissons. Between the two ruus the fortuitous -dcs-Damos. The Aisne is the one department which attests impartiaIly to deeds of bravery Of four armies-F'rench, Belgian, British and American.

 There were o95.010 families driven from their homes, most Of them destroyed; 51,op0 homes com platoly obliteratod; 6o.0oo others damaged; but left standing in whole or in part; 1.2&S.e0o acres whole or in part; 123S.o60 acres out of q total Of 1.4S4.ooo in the department rendered untllIable; 6,0oO,0oo,lqo as the war bill to be paid.
 Happily most Of that bill has been footed. But what is even more remarkable Is the fact that the estimates were high enough 10 more than replace, in each in stance. The 225,00o families w1om shell deprived of shelter have come back to infinitely better homes than they left. Three-story houses have replaced crumbling two-story affairs Fine new factories have sprung up where no factories were before.

 GLAND SPECIALIST
D1. Serge YoTOn0i Predicts h.
 crease in Liie's Length

Montreal, Que, Aug. 2 (UP)-The possibility that grating Of monkey glands into the human body may double the span of human life was suggested yesterday by Dr. Serge Eoronoff, noted European surgeon.
 Dr. Eoronoff, famed for his gland grating experiments. predicted in an interview that in a few years people might live to be 120 10 14o.
 The process. he said, would not re- store youth or fecundity but might forestall the approach of senility.
 Voronoff would use, the inter stitial glands of the champanzee, gibbon, or gorilla, whose glands, he said, are the same as those of man.
 The interstitial glands" he said, control the other glands Of the body. More than that, they supply motive power to the mind as well as the body. Therefore, when they be- come useless in man. their stimulat- ing secretions cease to flow into the arteries and old age becomes sen essence.
 By grating interstitlal glands we merely revise and renew the energy in the individual.
 "Old age and the physical Impo- tency that accompanies 1t leads to death. By augmenting our vital en- er-y when We begin to lose it, We in crease our chances of life and aC- quire the possibility Of living at least the number Of years to which man has 8 right.
 ITO be strong and vigorous is the secret Of life. To be weak and feeble IS the cause Of death. The glands from healthy~young monkeys can ln- fuse new energy into our bodies at the commencement of old age and will in the future. enable us 10 eX- tend life 10 the extreme llmit-12O or 140 years"
