differences in smell and taste discrim-
ination are to be found among humans.
The peculiarities in odor and taste al

students of eugenics. in that they show

tons BY Board.

For the first time since the Wilson
administration the White House has
just rejected the findings Of a naval
selection board.
President Hoover. it was learned to-
day. has turned down the recommended
tions of a selection board OF the Navy
Department Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery appointed recently to choose
about seven lieutenant commanders for
promotion to commander in the Navy
Medical Corps.
AS a result. it was indicated today at
the Navy Department. new medical
selection board probab bly, consisting
chiefly of captains, will be convened
shortly to submit further recommends
tons Tor promotion.
Capt. Boone's Name Missing.
The name of Capt. Joel T. Boone,
the Presidents personal physician, who
holds the temporary rank of captain
during his term of duty at the White
House, was missing f:om the list Of
recommendations as submitted by the
board, it was said. Capt. Boone s
permanent rank in the Navy is lieu
tenant commander, and he was eligible
for promotion.
Naval officials pointed out that Capt.
Boone, who holds his present rank due
to recent legislation by Congress, was
junior on the list of available lieu
tenant commanders to be chosen for
advancement. Oficials of the Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery declined to
comment on the p esidents action.
Last Rejection in 1915.
The report of the selection board
had been at the White House for a
number of days, the board having COM
plcted its Today delibelat some time
ago. The report was forwarded to
Pr sident Hoover by Secretary of the
Navy Adams after it had been referred
TO the judge advocate general of the
Navy, Rear Admiral David F. Sellers,
to make sure it was in due legal form.
1t was said to be the first time since
1915 that the findings of Navy selec-
ton board had been rejected. Usually.
it was said. the President approves
the findings of such group as matter
of course.
