HEAD OF CIVIC
GR0UPURGES
EXPANSION

The Cosmopolitan International
convention today was urged by its
executive secretary, Harold l..
Beamish, of Aurora, ILL.,, to take
definite action during the present
meeting on a program for eXpan-
sion. =,
Submitting his annual report at
the opening session of the con-
vention, Mr.. Beamish pointed out
that there are now 81 affiliated
clubs in good standing in the
United States and Canada, but de-
clared that in order to insure the
organization'S progress, expansion
is necessary. He suggested that
the expansion be done through
professional organizers"
The address of welcome was de-
livered by District Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen, who told of the
varied sources of entertainment
and beauty available in Washing
ton and expressed the hope that
the CoSmopolitans would enjoy
their visit here.
Responses were made by VIII
liam F. Buckley, of Milwaukee,
and Bernard R. Stone, of Omaha.
The international president, Gil
bert r. Swink, of Norfolk, ap-
pointed committees to act during
the convention, and the treasurer,
Frank Beaver, of Aurora, Ill, sub
mitted his annual report.
A request that Saskatoon, SaS-
katchewan, Canada, be selected as
the 1887 convention city was
placed before the convention in
telegram for the head of that city.

In statement, the veterans lead.
ers explained their estimate of 81 ,000.-
600, 900 as the immediate cost.
They said 1t was based ION the fact
that the United States life insurance

certificates to the extent Of about

Government obligations can be issued

On Capitol Hill today it was under
stood that veterans leaders wanted
both Representative Patinan and Rep

plan would cost only $1,000 ,000, 900
immediately, instead of the $4,000, ,000.-
600 usually mentioned. They said it
offered an incentive, in the form Of
interest, to induce many veterans to
hold their adjusted service certificates
instead Of cashing them now.
The plan-announced by the heads
Of the American Legion, Veterans Of
Foreign Wars and the Disabled
American Veterans-made no mention
of methods Of raising the money,
leaving that to the Government.
Thus the infiationary Patman plan 10

Congress last session, only to meet
defeat after veto, was tossed over
board.
Concord May Speed Action.
The new concord among the vet
erans' organizations was expected to
give a potent impetus to drive for
early action.
Whether the veterans proposal or
some other would be the one to reach
the voting stage first was not immedi-
ately certain. The new plan calls for:
l. Immediate full cash payment Of
the adjusted service certificates. which,
under present law, do not mature until
1945.
2. Refunds of interest paid on loans
on certificates.
8. Cancellation Of interest accrued
and unpaid.
4. A stipulation that veterans who
do not desire to cash their certificates
may receive interest on their maturity

PLANT SEEDS CUT
TOPRODUCE TWINS.
Feat Unknown in Nature
Produced by Science
After 80 Years.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, January 2.-Growing
Identical twin plants, feat unknown
In nature. was announced to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science here today.
Identical twins, common among
humans and in the animal kingdom,
are halves of the same egg, or ovum,
that produce the children SO similar
they sometimes cannot be told apart.
In plants, by discovery made at
the University of Michigan, this is
accomplished by cutting embryonic
seeds into two bits, so small they are
barely visible without microscope.
Attempted for 80 Years.
Attempts to do this have been made
by scientists for 80 years without sue
cess. 1t has been something earnestly
sought by botanists to match the
tissue culture" by which flesh is made
to live immortally in test tubes.
Prof. Carl d. La Rue of Michigan
solved the plant problem by borrowing
an idea from the living tissue cui-
ture" technique. There embryonic
organs or tissues always show extra
powers of growth and life.
He tried embryonic seeds. These arr
unripe seeds. whose structures nave
just barely begun to form. Dandelion
ox-eye daisy, wild lettuce and tomato
seeds were halved.
Planted in Special Mixture.
They were not planted at first, bu
were placed in a special mixture Of
agar. salts, sugar and the recently dis
covered hormone which causes plant:
to grow. The halved seeds grew. a

ingly tiny plants Transplanted intt
soil, these grew normally as othel
plants.

A 3O-month search had been in
progress for Tommy. but he escaped
detection while police rounded up
Roger and half dozen others OF the
mcst-feared gangster mob on Chi
cago's northwest side.
Partly that was because Tommy
was repeatedly reported dead or dying.
Told he suffered from an incurable
malady, police and postal inspectors
carried on quiet search OF hospitals,
expecting to find him receiving treat
ment somewhere.

that Tommy had made himself into

the planetary system-not only has q
considerable atmosphere, but that this
atmosphere has a notable constituent
of water vapor.
This has been subject of must dis
pute. The spectroscope has shown very
little water vapor. This is considered
necessary for life such as exists on
earth The extremely small amounts
have caused some astronomers to deny
there even can be much plant life on
the planet.
Vast Clouds Near Equator.
DR.. Shpher's new evidence consists
of long series Of photographs taken
with blue and yellow light at different
seasons and times. of day. The vast
cloud patches are found mostly in the
equatorial region. They are most
notable in the early Martian morning.
This indicates that nights on Mars
are quite cloudy, perhaps sufficiently
so to hold in some of the heat and
thus moderate the climate.
The white caps which form at the
poles during the Marian Winter have
long been observed by astronomers,
who have disputed whether they are
ice caps or caps Of frozen carbon
dioxide. DR.. Slipher, however, found
that in Martian region known as
Hellas. far to the south Of the equator,
silvery patches Of vast extent and as
bright as the polar caps appeared,
lasted about month and disappeared
rapidly.
The only phenomenon to which the
changing color of Hellas can be at
tributed, he said, is the snowstorm.
Duststorms Possible.
Some of these clouds are slightly
yellowiSh in tinge and can hardly be
much different from enormous aggre-
cations of dust in the atmosphere.
comparable to those which cause dust
storms on earth.
The photographs, probably the best
ever taken of the planet, show the DO
sition of the celebrated geometrical
lines on its surface-sometimes inter-
preted as artificial canals-have not
changed their position, as far as can
be determined, since they first were
discovered.
Cosmic Twins Found.
There are cosnic Siamese twins.
They are paired universes joined to-
gether by luminous ribbons. Each
member of such pair consists probably
of billions of stars. A ray of light,
moving at 10000 miles a second, re-
quires hundreds of years to move
across it. They are about equal size
and their distance apart roughly is
equivalent to the diameter of one Of
them. They must 60 through eternity
tied together.
The existence of these strange OBJ
jects was revealed to the astronomers
yesterday by DR., E. F. Carpenter of
the University Of Arizona, through
some remarkable photographs Of
extra -galactic nebulae taken to test q
current hypothesis Of cosnic me-
| chanics.
DR.. Carpenters hypothesis is that at
one time both members of such a pair
were independent universes. Careering
through space at enormous speeds,
they barely missed head-on collisions.
Perhaps they just grazed each other.
Such close approach raised enormous
tides on both. Perhaps even stars
and star systems were raised. The
two tides met and joined, effectively
tying the universes together.
