Anatomy and Glands.
(New York y~~cid-Telegram.


 Dr. George w Grille, of Cleveland before the American Association of Anatomists, did not exactly refute Spenger's famous assertion that man is a beast of prey but he gave it new twist by classify ing man as beast of strategy.
 He would disregard the grouping of mankind among the vertebrate mammals Such divisions by physical structure he believes, far less revealing than an emphasis upon energy and craft That is what makes the difference and he finds it's measure in the thyroid and adrenal glands.
 Man, in other words may be considered the triumph of the thyroid. His thyroid weighs 221 per cent of his total brain weight and his adrenal .73 per cent For comparison, Dr. Grille suggests the rabbit, thyroid OPS per cent adrenal, 143, and the monkey, thyroid l69, adrenal 560.
 The average layman, taking his own physical structure for granted but unable to disregard the differences between in mental and physical energy is apt to sympathize with the Grille theory. What placed Edison in special class, far any bystander may judge, his predominatng re- sourcefulness and energy. Better thyrods are what we need, apparently, more than better vertebrae.

.SCHALL PROPOSES
HIGHER TARIFFS
Writes Roosevelt That
100000 Would Be
Returned to Jobs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, December Sen
ator Thomas D. Schall, Republican
Minnesota, in a letter to President
Roosevelt made public yesterday. pro-
posed a higher tariff on foreign i'm
ports to return about 5000 900 per-
sons to profitable employment" in
the United States.
The Senator, listing industries
which he said would be enabled to
reabsorb the Nations unemployed
through higher trade barriers, called
on the President to use the tariff
making powers granted him by the
last Congress to end the "unemploy-
ment problem and the depression"
Contents of Letter.
The Senator's letter follows:
! For the purpose of furnishing a
working example by which a ma jority
OF the 100000 persons now I'M
employed may be returned to profit
able employment, without taking one
dollar from the United States Treas
! ury, the following list is a rough draft
OF how these people can be cared for
within six months.
by acting as England, Canada,
Australia, Norway and Sweden have
done. that is. by stopping imports
which compete with what we produce
We find We must re-employ the fol-
lowing:
"2,000,0 900 persons to cultivate cane
and beet sugar lands If foreign sugar
Is excluded.
"2,0000 900 persons to cultivate new
corn land when blackstrap molasses
Is barred.
100000 miners to operate our cop
per mines.
"225.00o additional pottery and
chinawear workers.
"l75.000 to make carpet, rag and
grass rugs.
10000 fishermen and Gamers
when these imports are stopped.
10000 iron and steel workers.
100000 persons to raise cattle now
imported as frozen or canned.
100000 to produce gunny cloth
s-'N ooAiy onSho llOW l1pOTUeQ.
100000 in Silver Mines.
100000 silver miners, if we buy
our own silver.
100000 shoe workers.
$4,000 textile workers.
$4,000 persons in electric lamp. toy
and novelty factories.
$4,000 persons to can meats.
$4,000 to produce cement and
bricks.
$4,000 manganese miners.
10000 vegetable canning workers.
$4,000 additional coal miners.
so 900 distillery and wine workers,
"All these people at this moment
are on Government relief. With the
power vested in you by the last Con-
gress. Mr. President. you can raise the
tariff on all these articles and
thereby return about 5000, 900 persons
to profitable employment. 1t is rea-
sonable to assume that this number
OF persons will employ another 3,00O.-
600 to supply their wants. After that
MIR. President, we have no unemploy-
ment problem and no depression. I
trust this matter will be given YOUR
earnest consideration"

Among the unpublished con-
gratulations received by General
Farley after the election iOas
cable from Jimmy Walker, as fol-
lowS. Gust read the census re-
turns of November s. Why don't
you 90 in for politics? You might
do Uell at it,"
Apparently the whole New Deal
went back to New York over the
Thanksgiving holiday week end; that
is, those who were not already In
Warm Springs. The Capital was
virtually vacant.
General Farley is getting a ride
now for juggling the postal surplus
figures, whereas an act of Congress
passed in 1880 requires him to handle
his figures that way. Ills Republican
predecessor did the same thing,
eliminating from calculations all the
costly subsidies which, If calculated
would change Mr.. Farley's $4,000, 900
surplus to a $52,000,OOO deficit.
Although the President left out old
age pensions, his Social Security Com
mittee will include that subject
briefly in its coming report.

JUDGES SON HIDES.
MOTIVE IN Staying.
Phil Kennamer Pleads Only
Self-Defense, but Friends
Deepen Mystery.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla. December 3.-The
19-year-old son of a Federal Judge
became today the center of q strange
death mystery.
Facing arraignment in connection
with the Thanksgiving night Staying
OF John Gorrell, his friend, Phil
Kennamer admitted the staying, but
County Attorney Holly Anderson said
the youth pleaded he shot Gorrell in
self-defense
Such a confusion of stories have
been told to investigating officers that
they are slow to commit themselves to
any single theory as to what led to
Gorrell's death. Kennamer, whose
father Is Franklin E. Kennamer Of
the Federal Court here, would say
only that the shooting of the 23-
year-old dental student was an act
of preservation.
Conflicting stories are told by
friends and companions of the two
young men. Some Of the stories told
to w. F. Gilmer. jr assistant prose
cutor. are characterized as almost
unbelievable"
Crime for Thrills" Hinted.
I'm afraid some of these young
sters have let their imaginations get
the better Of them" Gilmer said.
Among the stories is one that there
existed among the socially and
financially prominent younger set q
clique that plotted kidnapping, extor-
ton and robbery. either for the
money or for the thrill" of the deeds
The self-defense explanation OF
young Kennamer failed to find re-
spouse from Henry B. Maddux, police
criminologist. He said, graphically:
Il believe the Staying was the re-
suit of disagreement between two
parties as to how to carry out q
plan"
Kennamer surrendered SATURDAY.
explaining that Immediately follow
ing the shooting he had been too
shaken to know just what to do. Two
bullets were fired into Gorrells head
from his own pistol. The weapon
was wiped clean OF flngerprintS and
returned to its holster.
Girl Talks to Kennamer.
Miss Doris Rogers of Pittsburg,
Kans.. flanoee of young Gorrell, spent
nearly half an hour with Kennamer
in his cell yesterday.
Phil" she said, in a low voice, 81
know you loved John. too. Why did
you do it? Whom are you trying to
shield?"
The officials did not give Ken
manners answer.
Among those questioned was FLOYD
j. Huff. Kansas City airplane pilot,
who said Kennamer had detailed
more than week in advance, almost
the exact manner in which young
Gorrell would meet his death.
From Huff, too, came the disclosure
that Virginia Wilcox, elder daughter
OF H. F. Wilcox, wealthy oil executive,
was the innocent target of an extor-
ton and kidnap plot.

The story accredited here is that
the royal family made it the biggest
royal wedding in $50 years solely for
patriotic effect. England is facing a
hard Winter. A section of the people
is restless. A certain high American
official said not long ago that he would
not be surprised to see major trouble
in stolid England this Winter.
The crown is the symbol OF
British authority. A royal wcdding
is national patriotic celebration.
The poor generally will not be-
grEdge the expenditure, but WHl
be touched BY the traditional ap-
peal. 1t trds good regal politics.
Royalty moves in a stratosphere of
privacy which discourages realistic re-
porting. 1t is impossible to say
whether the following realistic expla-
nation of how Prince George and
Princess Marina came together is lit
orally true. 1t can be said that the
account is going the rounds of hoi-
polloi in London town and here. 1t
carries tone of reasonable credibility
Stately Queen Mary, according to
this accepted version, was the insti-
gator of the match. There was no
international politics involved, only a
private family matter.

Young Prince George had been sus-
pected of sowing wild oat or two,

ton. couple of years ago, Of an
American singer Edythe. She made
a big hit in London, and a bigger
hit with George. They were seen to-
gether so much that pressure was
brought to bear on the King, I'M
doubtedly by the mother. The King
was inclined to let the boy lead his
own life, within reason; but an &C.
tress-an American actress-was an
other matter
George was sent on an empire good
will tour to South Africa, alone.
Travel failed to offer q solution,
apparently, as Edythe is supposed to
have been on hand to greet the young
man when he landed back in Eng
land. That incident called for an
other trip. This time George was
sent to the continent.
The footlight lure was not entirely
cured. however. as George shortly
thereafter encountered Sandra-also

worse, for the purposes of family de-
bate, a blond.

ALIEN PLOT DENIED
IN K|ROFF DEATH
Staying Confessed by Rus
sian-StaIin Pays Honor
to Slain Aide.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LENINGRAD, U. S. S. r., December
3.-Joseph Stain, leader of the Com
munist party. arrived in Leningrad to-
day to pay his respects at the bier Of
Sergei Kiroff, one of his associates,
who was assassinated Saturday.
He was accompanied by Vyacheslai
Molotoff, president of the Council Of
Commissars, and other of1icials.
The possibility that an external plot
was back of Kiroff's Staying appeared
diSsipated by an official announcement,
that the assassin is a Russian and q
former Communist.
Kiroff. member Of the political bu-
reau Of the Communist party and Sec
rotary Of the party's Central Com
mittee. important posts. was shot tc
death in the Soviet Building here Sat-
urday.
A government communique said the
assassin was Leonid Nicolieff. 80. for
merly employed by the Workers and
Peasants Inspection Bureau.
Nicoliefi. the announcement said
has confessed the crime and Is still
being questioned No intimation was
given as to his motive or present polit-
ical Affiliations.
Flags at Half-Staff.
Flags were placed at half-staff
throughout the Soviet Union in honor
of Kirod, the third Communist leader
to be assassinated here since the estab-
lishment of bolshevism and the first
in more than Is years.
Moses Voladarsky. member of the
presidium Of the Leningrad Soviet. was
killed in 1918, two months before
Mikhail Uritsky, chief of the Lenin-
grad Cheka, met similar fate.
Workers at meetings in many cities
demanded vengeance for Kiroff' 4
death. The government announced
Saturday the slayer was sent by the
enemies of the working class"
The dead leaders body. lying In
state in Uritsky Palace, has been
viewed by thousands The funeral will
be held Thursday in Moscow. where his
ashes will be informed under the
Kremlin wall, near the Tomb OF
Lenin.
Vengeance Is Demanded.
The protest meetings were held by
clubs, factories and schools throughout
the country and resolutions were
adopted urging the government to
take steps to reveal enemies Of the
workers.
A typical resolution, by tractor fac
tory here, said:
Brothers and comrades: The pro-
letariat >of Leningrad has lost its
leader. under whose guidance We de-
Stroyed the enemies of the workers
class, the traitors of the party, and
the Trotzky and Zinovieff opposition.
1T was under his control that we,
the Putiloff workers, produced our
first tractor, and under his control
that We raised the production to tens
of thousands.
I'VE will give blow for blow to our
enemy. Death to the enemies of the
working class"
Executions Speeded.
Terrorists in the future are to be
tried and punished with greater speed
and the Central Executive Commit
tee will not consider appeals from
death sentences imposed by courts for
terroriSts' action.
The Central Executive Committee
passed a resolution to this effect De-
cember l, the day Kiroff was assas-
sinated, and the decree was pub
