Stimulation OF Business to
Replace Former Ex-
Fermentation.
Copyright. 1894. BY United Press


WASHINGTON, May 4-The sd-
ministration was reported suthori-
tstively today to have decided to
try to raise commodity prices indi-
directly by Stimulating business ac-
tivity rather than experimenting
with currency depreciation or price
fixing.
Dlsa ppOintment over results of re-
cent price boosting schemes was be-
lieved to have led administration Of
f1ciais 10 place more emphasis on
natural recovery processes through
quicEening normal channels of
trade.
With the problem Of business re-
covery and prices closely related. it
is not believed that all artificial
price lifting plans will be aban-
doned. But it is thought that from
now on the recovery drive will CEN
ter on new plans TO stimulate indus
trial activity and less on pure price
lifting schemes.
President Roosevelt is believed
still to wish prices close to the
1926 levels. But the fact that pro-
greSs has been less rapid than first
anticipated may account for the
supplementing Of price lifting plans
by direct industrial aid.

and death They play part IN build
ing up resistance and even immunity
to many different ailments. Unhealthy
genes make the body susceptible to
disease, weaken its defense.
Healthy genes can be and are
changed to unhealthy ones by some
process of nature not we'll understood.
Scientists have found they can be
changed in this way by X-raying the
cells containing the genes, or heating
them. Then the altered genes begin
to pass on weakness and susceptibility
to disease from generation to gener-
alton instead of resistance and i'm

genes is known as mutation.

SECURITIES BILL
|SH|T By SOCIETY
Philosophical Group Also
Opposes Federal Control
of Railroads.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-The
proposed securities exchange act, the
commodity dollar" and Government
ownership and operation of railroads
were attacked in a symposium on
business recovery sponsored by the
American Philosophical Society today
The urge to s.-eculate among the
small wage-earning classes would no
more be cured by the 60 per cent mar
gin requirement in the proposed ma
tional securities exchange act than
could the liquor evil be cured by
prohibition legislation" said Prof. S.
S. Huebner Of the University of Penn
sylvania.
The 60 per cent margin rule would
drive the small speculator from good
high-priced shares to inferior low
priced shares, he stated.
The Presidents plans for stabiliza-
ton of the currency and the domestic
price level, through the commodity
dollar" would not accomplish its pur-
pose, predicted Prof. Ray B. Wester-
field Of Yale.
Sterilization Doubted.
There are many offsetting disad-
vantages in stabilization that make
its desirability as a prime national
policy doubtful" he stated ''The
commodity dollar might work in a
utopia where things moved according
to desire, but not in this complex,
stubborn world of ours"
Public ownership and operation OF
the railroads was opposed by Prof
Emory R. johnson of the University
Of Pennsylvania, Wharton School OF
Finance, who asserted it would not
decrease rates.
He said if the Government operated
the roads on a self-supporting basis
kept abreast with technical progress
paid taxes equal to those now paid
interest on the funds used to acquire
the roads and provided for paying of
these funds in so years, the rates and
fares could not be lower than now.
Long Life Guarantee"
Science has discovered a new guar
antee of long life-'gene balance
and it was outlined to the society by
Dr. John w. Gowen of Rockefeller In
stitute, New York.
Gene balance" means the right
proportion of healthy and unhealthy
genes" or microscopic heredity car
riers which exist in all body cells.
With enough of the healthy genes,
long life is assured. but if the un-
healthy ones predominate disease and
death get in their innings early.
Length of life is in almost direct
proportion, DR.. GoWen said. to the
relative numbers of healthy and un-
healthy genes in the body cells. The
longest life of all comes about when
Ill the genes are healthy or normal.
Healthy genes help fight off disease
