TWO MEN FOUND
= WITH FISH BLOOD
EIIipticaI Blood Cells May Be
/ ThroW-Back to Lower
Forms.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Some men have fish blood.
A strange human anomaly, which
may be q throw-back over millions OF
generations to the fishes and reptiles,
IS reported in the current issue of the
medical bulletin of the Veterans Ad-
ministration.
Two cases of veterans treated at
Government hospitals whose red blood
cells, at least in part, were elliptical
instead of circular in shape-an aston
ishing variation from the biological
standpoint-ar cited by Drs. NJ C..
Terry, E. w. Hollingsworth and Vim
cent Eugenio Of the Veterans Admin
istration staff.
This is a condition, they point out,
which is almost entirely absent in the
whole race of mammals from the half
reptile egg-laying platypus of Aus
tralia to man himself. On the other
hand, it is the characteristic condl-
tion amorg the lower vertebrates such
as the fishes, amphibians and reptiles.
The change in the shape of the red
blood cells occurred somewhere in the
process of transition from the lower to
the higher verterbrateS more than a
hundred million years ago. but appar-
entity tiny strain of the reptile-like
blood has persisted all through the line
of evolutionary development that led
to man.
otherwise this peculiar shape of the
blood is found among mammals only
among the camels and closely related
animals. It is universal among the
lower vertebrates with a single excep-
ton a family of low marine fishes re-
lated to the eels. The finding of this
condition among their patients led the
Veterans Administration doctors to
search the medical literature of the
Evening star., 1932-07-22

world for similar cases and they found
that altgether So have been reported.
Analysis of these cases shows ten
dency for the anomaly to run In fam
lilies. It Is passed on by either the
father or the mother but may SKIP
generation. It Is about equally COM
mon in both sexes, in both white and
coiored, and among people belonging
to any one of the four blood groups
which have been found in the human
race.
An autopsy on one Of the Veterans
Administration cases showed THIS Pc
culiarity extending all through tne
body. down to the blood In the smallest
capillaries. The theory had been ad-
varced that it might be characteristic
only of the blood running close to the
surface, the change in shape being due
to some mechanical reason.
The popularity, the physicians re,
port, apparently has no pathological
significance. The persons in whom 1t
has been found have been Ill of wide
variety of diseases and the single au-
topsy showed no other physical peculli-
arities other than what would nave
been produced by the disease in a nor
NAL person. The indications are that
the fish blood" popularity may be
quite widely distributed in healthy per-
sons, but it would be discovered only
upon a microscopic examination OF the
blood.
The principal function of the red
cell, the report points out, is to trans
port oxygen. For this purpose the
common disk-shaped cell of mammal
blood, it is mathematically demon
strated, is more efficient than the ell
liptical cell of the lower vertebrates.
Because of this it has been adopted
through countless generations by the
mammalian race while the less eftl-
cient elongated cell has been thrown
into the discard.
"One may guess" says the report OF
the Veterans Bureau investigators,
that the elliptical human erythrocite
is an atavistic form-structurally such
from some early necessity such as
less constant plasma-while the usual
disk in man and most of the higher
vertebrates is a later development
adapted to conditions in which such a
degree of rigidity of form is no longer
necessary or advantageous.
"One sees somewhat similar adap-
tation of cells and serum still in
progress and not yet completed in the
blood of the newborn child-not in
any changing structure of the red blood
cell but in the shifting relative strength
of receptors in cells and serum. In
neither of which is the development
likely to be complete at birth"

FEDERAL RESERVE
REPORT IS BULLISH
Continued Return of Gold and
Reduction in Volume of Money
in Circulation Noted.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Basis for
satisfaction was found in the changes
revealed in the weekly report of the
Federal Reserve The high spot, of
course. is the continued return Of gold
and the sustained reduction in the
total volume Of money in circulation.
The bulk of the rise in monetary gold
stocks is accounted for, of course, by
further releases from stocks of the
metal held under earmark here for
foreign account, but the fact that the
increase in Reserve System gold re-
serves, s24,0o0.000, exceeded the net
gain shown in the country's none
tary gold stocks, S19,000,000 is indica-
tive of return from hiding of gold coin
which went into boarding during the
scare period last Spring.
Taking into account the S30,000,0 900
drop in money in circulation last week,
the total is now s154 900 900 down from
the July peak and only s1i6.000,00 in
excess Of the aggregate of circulation
this time last year.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
At SHORT SESSION
Decline of Yesterday Appar.
emily Checked, but Gains
Are Small.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 22.-The best
that could be said about todayS week
end stock market was that the severe
decline of yesterday was checked. There
were intermittent rallies during the day,
but they never went very far and they
looked more like evening-up operations
than anything else.
The market opened irregularly. 1t
had furry of short covering after the
car loadingS statement came out and
then it relapsed into dullness again.
The traffic statement came up to
optimistic predictions, but it had only
a momentary effect on prices. Loadlngs
for the seven days ending october Is
totaled 650,578 cars. an increase OF
24,942 over the preceding week, but a
decrease of Ill ,0l8 from the same week
a year ago.
On this showing Atchison and Union
Pacific advanced from their initial lows
and industrials were bid up a point or
so, but these gains were hard to hoio'
nor were they accompanied by any in
crease in volume.
Features were not numerous. Cen
eral Motors was fractionally lower, re-
f1ecting the third-quarter statement
made public after the close yesterday.
1t was not an encouraging exhibit with
deficit before preferred dividends In
the three months and only 8 cents a
share on the common for the nine
months, but for the most part 1t had
been discounted marketwiSe. American
Telephone held above Fridays final as
traders took in the stock previously
sold. not caring to be short over the
week end.
On the other hand, United States
Steel preferred ranged. lower. In this
case the shorts seemed to have more
courage The common was better sup
ported than the preferred, but the turn
over in both was too small to carry
significance.
The market received little stimulus
from outside events. It appeared to
have recovered from its pretended fright
over the frank words of the governor of
the Bank of England and to be looking
for a cue to commodity prices and to
the bond market.
Foreign exchanges moved against the
dollar. French and Belgian francs ad-
vanced the former crossing 394 and
the latter up in midmorning points.
Swiss francs were up nearly points
and guilders were higher. What this
rev selling of the dollar portended, II
anything, no one was ready to say.
Montreal exchange was strong today at
7l2 per cent discount.
The list was firm during the last half
hour up to a few minutes before the
end, when offerings increased. The
close was heavy.

ENGLISH APPARENTLY ABANDON
EFFORT TO STABILIZE POUND
Sharp Decline in Sterling Exchange This
Week Suggests 1925 or Lesser Level
for British Money.

Is felt that factors of q more funda-
mental and permanent Character than
these have been, and are likely to be
for the rest Of the year, instrumental In
determining the ultimate point of re-
siStance.
Other European exchanges, as well
as exchange on Montreal, have been
sentimentally affected by the break in
sterling.
An analysis Of the September foreign
trade figures shows the extent to which
the reduced purchasing power Of for
e.gn consumers, as well as the tariff
walls that have been built up between
nations in the past decade, have crippled
the commerce between the United
States and the rest Of the world. Com
paratvely speaking, the trade figures
last month were favorable inasmuch as
they showed an increase over August
This gain, however, was entirely sea-
sonal and represented large addition
from cotton shipments, which were
based on the low prices for the staple
In the latter part of the Summer.
An examination of the September fig
ures, compared with those of recent
years, clearly reveals the present low
ebb of our foreign trade For instance.
in September this year exports reached
value of s132 2,0OO,O 900. In what were
known as the boom years, or those of
1925-1929 inclusive, the value of Sep
tember exports averaged S430 900 900.
Even in the years 1930-1931 the aver
age was $250,000,000. or nearly 80 per
cent greater than last month.
Extent Of Decline.
Taking the item Of imports, it will be
found that in 1915-1929 these averaged
for September $341 100000, against
500, ,000, 900 last month, and in 1880 and
in 1881 they averaged S198, 900, 900,
compared with s98. 100000 in September
this year. September exports were the
smallest for any month since 1914, with
the exception of those in July and Au-
gust. while imports have not been so
small in dollar value since 1912, with
the exception Of those of the two pre-
ceding months this year.

Special Dispatch TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Another
abrupt decline in sterling exchange this
week has made it clear that all efforts
at stabilizing sterling have been aban-
doned and that the English financial
authorities are apparently letting their
currency attempt to find natural level
A few weeks ago 1t was persistently
rumored in Wall Street that sterling
would be stabilized before the end of
this year at $3.50. For several months
the rate had been more or less 'pegged'
around $347. During the temporary
dollar scare, after President Hoover's
Des Moines speech, it moved within a
range of several cents in the pound
Then 1t began to show distinct heavi-
ness. The decline this week was one
of the most radical that has occurred
since Great Britain went of the gold
standard in September, 1881.
$3.25 Level Suggested.
All idea that Great Britain can per-
manently fix her exchange at $3.50 has
now been abandoned. The next possible
level, and one that has been frequently
discussed, Is 1925. This happens to
be the minimum rate to which sterling
declined following the announcementt tof
the gold suspension act. 1t represents
a shrinkage of approximately 1913 per
cent from the level at which sterling
was quoted prior to September
year ago.
There are those who believe that 1t
will be necessary to fix the stabili-
zation point even lower than this, pos
sibly at So. This would be an extreme
concession to those who have long felt
that Great Britain was at disadvan-
tage with her continental competitors
in doing business at such relatively
high exchange rate.
The temporary influences surrounding
the exchange market appear to be the
resumption Of purchases by British in
vestors of American securities and the
completion of the usual seasonal buying
of cotton and wheat. These would have
a direct effect on exchange, though it
