New Extract Causes Rats
= . = y =
To Grow Up in Half Time
Without Shortening Life

said Leonard @. Rowntree, M. D.,
OF Philadelphia, who reported 1t. Of
the thymus extract doing to humans
the things predicted On the basis
OF its action on rats.
These predictions include babies
growing into good prize fighters at
six. college graduates at IL and the
making OF a "dictator'S elixir" by
which boys could be grown into full
size fighting men in half time.
An expectation Of real human
usefulness is based on the fact that
all children have thymus glands,
the same as young mammals. II
formerly was thought the thymus
gland dried UP at the age Of puber-
ty.
More likely, DR.. Rowntree said,
the gland changes its state at that
age. Thereafter 1t may function In
some manner yet unobServed.
The thymuS gland effects were
first reported a year ago as some
thing almost beyond belief" The
report vas based on five genera
tons Of rats injected daily with
the thymus extract. These genera
tons were the equivalent OF 100
years IN human terms.
Thursdays reports verifieS the
previous finding on another five
generations of rats.
This second set repeated every
thing, the young born heavier, get
ting teeth their first day, opening
their eyes the third day instead Of
the 10th day. their fur grown, them
selves weaned and self-supporting
as rats In the third and fourth days
Of their lives.
But no giants developed. The
young rats simply matured in about
half time. Their control" cousins,
with no thymus extract, eventually
caught I'D to them in all respects.

SHIPWRECK

MANILA, P. l., Nov. 13 UN.S0 .
With two dead and two missing
as q result Of the wrecking of the
British freighter Silver Hazel,
which crashed on the rocks in
the Straits of San Bernardino, so
survivors were being brought here
today aboard the United States
destroyer Peary.

Captain Is Missing
The missing:
Capt. H. H. Lennard, master Of
the wrecked vessel.
An unidentified member Of the
crew.
The survivors, marooned on
the Storm-Swept rocks since Satur.
day, were all reported suffering
from exposure and lack of food
and water.
The ship apparently crashed
onto the rocks during storm of
typhoon proportions, breaking in
two shortly after running aground.
According to meager radio re-
ports received here, passengers
and crew left the ship and took
refuge on the rocks.
Raft Saves Three
Late yesterday three Hindu
sailors constructed a life raft
from lumber taken from the
wreckage and managed to float
out to sea on the outgoing tide.
They were rescued by boats stand,
ing by.
Early today, encouraged by the
success of the rescue trio, other
Silver Hazel survivors left the pre-
cariouS rocks, clinging desperately
to improviSed RATS. They were
picked up by small boats dis
patched from the rescue ships and
later placed upon the destroyer
Peary.
Rescue Ship Damaged
A radio from the destroyer Bul.
mer stated it was remaining at
the scene of the disaster to search
for the two persons missing.
During an earlier attempt to
recue the victims the japanese
freighter Chicago Maru ripped
open on a rock and was forced to
put back to Manila for repairs.
At the time of the crash the
Silver Hazel was en- route from
Portland, Ore, to Manila.
The 3.000-ton ship is owned by
the British Silver Line.
