GEN. DARRAH GETS
CANAL ZONE POST
Macarthur Moves New Brigadier
After Fight Over Ap-
pointment.

Special orders transferring Brig. Gen.
Thomas W. Darrah to duty in the
Panama Canal Zone were issued yes
terday by the War Department Gen.
Darrah was chief of staff of the Sd
Corps Area, which embraces the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief Of
staff, announced recently that Gen.
Darrah, native of Kansas, would be
ordered to a brigade command in the
Canal Zone upon his assumption Of
rank as a general officer. His promo
ton became effective yesterday.
Representative Wyant, Republican,
Pennsylvania, protested the promotion
several days ago. He asserted Darrah.
during the World War, had been re-
lieved of a field brigade command on a
charge of unf1tness.
Gen. Macarthur said last night he
had received many kilograms from all
parts of the United States deprecating
tke attack on Darrah.
The chief of STAG said he had per-
sonally gone over the World War files
and found the charges against Darrah
were declared unsound by an investi-
eating board at the time and Gen.
Pershing had restored Darrah to an
other brigade command.

BUFFALO, N. Y. September 3.-Rec.
ords of a girl saved from dwarfism, Of
insane persons cured by hormones and
the discovery that sugar can be fed to
diabetes were reported to an endocrine
symposium Of the American Chemical
Society today.
Endocrines are the ductless glands,
whose secretions, the hormones, are
held by some scientists to account Tor
the differences between races. Tney
govern to quite an extent height,
slenderness or breadth, length OF arms
and legs, shape Of face, quality OF voice,
distribution of hair or of fat on the
body, possibly skin pigment, masculine
characteristics in women, such as deep
voice, beard and masculine features, ana
even the emotions.
Chemists have been isolating hor-
mones for several years, but their ap-
plication to human health has been
difficult, and some Of the leaders Of the
medical profession reported today on
progress.
stopped Growing at s.
A girl who stopped growing at 6
was described by william Englebacn,
M. D., of New York City. A growth
hormone, extracted from the pituitary
glands of animals, was given to make

girls own pituitary.
In less than two years she grew nearly
8 inches. The circumference OF her head
increased 6 inches. Her weight rose 712
pounds.
These cases Of arrested growth In
childhood, said DR.. Englebach, are not
uncommon, but comparatively few have
been recognized. Even now, he added,
the general medical profession cannot
obtain growth hormones because OF diff
ficulties about purifying them. He pre-
dicted these hormones will be available
soon, and with them another from the
same gland that will control sex de-
velopment.
Insanity. particularly dementia prae-
cox and dual personality, due in con-
siderable degree to endocrine disorder
was dealt with by DR.. r. G. Hoskins.
M. D., OF Harvard Medical School, and
F. H. Sleeper of worcester, Mass,
State hospital. These forms OF in
sanity, DR.. Hoskins said, comprise about
20 per cent of the total hospital popula-
ton OF the United States.

hatma Gandhi and his party arrived
mere at the entrance to the Red Sea
today and made a brief visit ashore
before reSumirg their voyage to Lon

A large crowd of excited Indians
wearing Gandlii caps, who had waited
since midnight, cheered as the S. S.
RaJputana steamed alongside the wharf
In the dawn. Taking advantage of the
cool morning air, Gandhi and the other
delegates made: series of short trips

Local Indian merchants wished him
success at the conference and presented
nm a purse containing about $1,625.
He had breakfast with the leading In
dlanS OF the town and re-embarked
amid cheers
Asked what his program at the con-
terence would be, Gandhi replied: II
shall strive for constitution that will
release India from all thraldom and
patronage. I shall work for an India
IN which the poorest shall feel it Is

have an effective voice; an India in
which there shall be no nigh class and
no low class Of people; an India in
which all communities shall live in

who said:
Provided the fat content of the diet
is kept at q very low level, 1t has been
found that diabetes can, according to
the severity Of the disease, tolerate
what have hitherto been regarded as
impossibly large amounts of carbohy-
drates (sugar) without the aid Of
insulin. We now have over 500 patients
on these diets"
Jean Paul Pratt, M. D., Of the Henry
Ford Hospital, Detroit, said that the
-clear cut striking results Of expert
ments on animals are not reproduced
In human subjects up to the present
time"
A minor human difficulty is dis
comfort from 'hormone hypodermics. In
case of one hormone this discomfort
was avoided by putting it in nasal
spray SO that 1t was absorbed by the
mucous membrane of the nose.
Sugar Feeds Cancers.
Sugar is a "fuel" for cancer, and its
regulation in diet is essential for cancer
treatment, the society was told yester-
day. The report came from the cancer
research department Of the University
of Pennsylvania from work done by
Gladys E. Woodward and Edith g. Fry
under direction of Ellice Mcdonald,
M. D.
In cancer" said DR.. Mcdonald, in
explaining the technical report, the
essential difference between tumor tissue
and normal tissue Is the ability OF can
Ger to digest the animal sugar Cor
glycogen) in a different and more ex-
peditious way than normal
The greater the amount OF sugar
there Is in the blood of cancer patients,
the shorter Is the expectation Of their
lives. Cancer patients with low blood
sugar respond well to treatment and
have a better chance of survival, with
slow growth of the tumor."

The Russian Soviet Government is

Secret police operatives scattered

capitalistic regime will ever return to

RESCUE OF FORTUNE
I HUNTERS PLANNED
Coast Guard Prepares to
, Send Cutter to Take Eight
R OFF Guadalupe Island.
special Dispatch to The Star.

Especial DlSpdLCn 10 Inc 0taIs
SAN DIEGO, Calf, September 3
(NAN.A).-Coast Guard officials here
yesterday prepared to send a cutter to
lonely Guadalupe Island, 220 miles
southwest of San Diego. to rescue eight
fortune hunters who have been ma
rooned on the island for four months. =
j. A. Woodcock of San Diego, Orval
Lindsey, william Watson, his wife,
daughter, son and Chinese cook OF Los
Angeles and a man named Bradshaw
compose the party.
For four months the fortune hunters
have been seeking pirates gold and
attempting to earn living on the
nearly barren island by killing the wild
sheep which abound there and drying
the meat and hides for sale to MexicanS
on the mainland.
Recently news came from the island,
by way of a Coast Guard cutter, that
the party was sadly in need of food
and clothing because supplies, ordered
months ago, had failed to arrive.
The party was dressed in clothing OF
skins and grass and were SubsiSting
largely on goat meat and eggs of sea
birds when they succeeded in hailing
the crew of the welcomed Coast Guard
boat
Government help in the rescue was
gained through the efforts of Mrs.
Woodcock, who appealed to officials in
Washington for aid in bringing her hus-
band and the others back to the United
States.
Guadalupe Island with its wild sheep
and goats, has been the goal of num-
Der of unsuccessful expeditions during
the past few years. The sheep and
goats, which first reached the island
from a sinking ship years ago, have
taken control :of the barren stretch and
their meat and fleece are the lure
which attracts the fortune hunters.
At one time, too, Guadalupe, q VOL
canic formation, was supposed to have
been the rendezvous for a number OF
pirates who pyeyed on the early Spanish
merchantmen This has given rise to
rumors of buried treasure there.

Judge Defers Mothers Sentence;
 Son Escapes Jail
All Participants of Money Forwarding Agency Battle Told to Respect Law or Jail Sentences Will Be Meted Out to Them-Threats of Gun Play Made

Judge Meyer deferred sentence in the case of Mrs Russo. gave her son, A. Marion and Ciminera suspended jail sentences of sixty days each. The last, named was warned to re- main away from the Russo block in the future and if he were anxious to seek redress for his troubles, he was advised to recourse to law.
 Young Russo was told to take care of his mother, who evidently is on the verge of becoming hyster- ical over the many difficulties that have arisen. He was also warned that if he participated in any more battles he was liable to take one- way ride to jail. &
 Only few minutes before the case of Mrs Russo was called for trial, the son was arraigned on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. This charge was postponed until Saturday morning. Russo as clerk of the agency is al- leged to have accepted $671 from an ex-service man and to credited 1t as a deposit in the firm, which was contrary to law. The agency had no right to operate as a bank.
 Miss Nocera, who lost legacy Of s11,OO0 in the failure of the firm accused Mrs Russo of. attacking her and cutting her lip. Mrs Russo and several witnesses testified that they did not see Miss Nocera on the night

A regular feud in which plenty of bitterness has been manifested had developed over the financial collapse of the former Russo money forward ing agency on Bank street.
 To-day nearly more than score of tenants of the Russo block at 285-291-293 Bank street thronged police court to witness the trial of Mrs Joseph Russo, 43, wife of the missing president of the agency, AL phonso Russo whose disappearance was followed by the discovery that there was shortage of over $90,OOO.
 Mrs Russo was accused of at tacking a tenant and one of the principal losers by the firms failure, Miss Angelina Nocera. During the course of the presentation of the evidence, Judge T. V. Meyer, inter- rupted the court session and order ed the arrest of A. Marion Russo, 26, son of MT and Mrs Alphonso Russo. He was also arraigned on the charge of breach of the peace. He had a battle last Saturday evening with one Pasquale Ciminera, 30, of 1O6 Fairfield avenue, another al- legged victim, who was taken into custody on Russo's complaint.

MEN ARE MEN, A LAUGHS A SCREAM IN JACK OAkIES
 NEWEST COMEDY RELEASE

What makes the wild West wild? Jack Oaxie and his pals and play mates attempt to give the answer in the highly amusing Dude Ranch which comes to the Fox-Poli Palace theater on Thursday next for three day run.
 "Dude Ranch" is a rousing com- cdy, based on the humorous novel.
 'The Lone Rider of the Mojave" by Milton Krims.
 The setting Is the familiar "wide open spaces''-where men are men and women also chaw terbaccy. In this rough-shod environment Stuart Erwin is the owner of a ranch-hotel where gullible folks from the East come to get a load of the local color. But things don't seem to color up
 for Erwin. His guests are disgusted and discouraged. for there hasn't been an Indian scalping or a hoss- thief shooting all season. His guests threaten to pack up and go pack home when a travelling show troupe, consisting of Oakie, Eugene Palette,
 Mitzi Green and Cecil Weston arrive.
 With the aid of props and costumes
 they have brought. the troupers put
 on some hair-raising scenes in the
 hotels environs which make the
 guests believe that here at last Is the
 real West. Palette Is a black mus
 tpched, Legree-like villain. Miss Wes.
 ton and Mitzi are a distraught plains
 woman and her little girl---and Oakie is the quick. .shootln' desper-
 ado who saves women and children
 with gritted teeth.
