SCIENCE TRACES
GROWTH THROUGH
RINGS In TEETH
(By Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, April 14.-Teeth
rings, like tree rings, enlighten
scientists on the mysteries of
growth.
DR.. Isaac Schour of the Uni
versity of Illinois says every per-
son carries his own growth record
in his "baby teeth" a ring in the
dentine and enamel. The ring is
found in all teeth in the process
OF formation when the individual
is born, but not in later, perman-
ent teeth.
DR.. Sehour claims these rings
are permanent and indelible
records of the change from the
passive prenatal life to the in
dependent life following birth
and that this should help scientists
determine the amount and quality
OF development in each period.

Joe Crein Described Visit
To Key West IIlRadio Talk
From Chicago Last Night

Joe Grein, member of the IL

mission, who spent several weeks
in Key WEST and was a guest at

zen that he has returned to Chi

this city, recalls many pleasant
associations with friends made
while here and asks to be kindly
remembered.
Inclosed in the letter was a
copy of a broadcast which he
made last night from Station
VIGIL at 7:f5 o'clock. In this he
describes his visit to Key West and
tells of his exciting experiences
while fishing and catching sene
Of the ''big fellows" which abound
in the waters.
Following is his talk:

so, he is done for; otherwise if

Attorney General Clarifies
Situation As Pertains To
Tax Certificate Procedure
Ruling Is Based On Inter-
probation OF Cases De-
cided By Florida Su-
preme Court

Attorney General Cary D. Lam
dis has clarified the situation re-
garding the redemption and sale
of tax certificates which since
April 2 has been stopped by Clerk
Ross c. Sawyer in Key West, but
which are nox purchasable as well
as redeemable.
The attorney generals ruling is
based on his Interpretation of
two cases which were decided by
the Florida Supreme Court on
October 20, 1888.
In one OF the cases, that of
Moye versus the State, the su-
preme tribunal ruled that 1T is
proper to permit redemption of
tax sale certificates on payment
of the amount due for taxes costs
and charges which may be COM
puted by applying the millage tax
levied for the given year at the
leact assessed valuation if that is
less than the regular valuation"
Permits Redemption
The above case affirmed per-
enlptory writ OF mandamus issued
by the circuit court o. DeSoto
county compelling the clerk of
the circuit court to permit the re-
demption of a tax sale certificate
for taxes of 1927 held by the
state, by applying the amount
aseertained, based upon the as
.sessed valuation of the property
for year subsequent to 1927,
which valuation was less than the
valuation for the year the prop
erty was sold for taxes"
1t will be noticed that in the
Move case an application was
made to redeem by the owner of
the property who contended that
under the Futch act the owner of
the property was entitled to re-
deem the "Oldest Certificate"
where such oldest certificate was
based on a valuation higher than
a subsequent assessed valuation
OF. the property, on the subsequent
lower valuation. The court af-
firmed the lower court and held
it should be done.
Regarding Amount
In the other case known as the
Draughon case, the court held
that where a "tax certificate is
owned by the state and that GER
tificate is the oldest certificate,
that the clerk must require the
amount of such certificate and
interest thereon from the date of
the certificate at the statutory
rate and that he has no right to
sell such certificate reduced to an
amount less than the original sale
because that in subsequent
year the assessed valuation of the
property has been lowered, al
though after the purchase of the
oldest certificate the other GER
tificate may be redeemed accord
ing to the least assessed valuation
of the land"
1T will thus be SEEM" con-
cludes the opinion of the attor-
ney general, chat the distinction
made by the court in these two
cases is that the owner may re-
deem his property, including the
oldest certificate, according to
the lowest valuation thereon,
whereas if the clerk sells the old
est certificate, that privilege is
denied the purchaser.

Ernest Alexander
Is Badly Injured

Ernest Alexander, U. S. Imrni-
grafton guard, was badly injured
last Wednesday In an automobile
accident on Utah st. between
Fourth and Hartford while he was
taking five aliens to the ship for
deportation. To avoid a head-on
collision with another car that
swung out from behind a truck go
ing in the opposite direction, Mr..
Alexander turned off the narrow
road into the soft dirt, but some
automobile rims lying beside the
road caused him to swsrve again
with the result that he crashed
into q telephone pole. The steer
ing wheel crushed MIR. Alexander's
chest, but the injury is not serious.
However, his face was badly cut
about the mouth and d check bone
broken. The guard and the tive
aliens were taken to the Marine
Hospital.
Mr.. ana Mrs. Alexander are
grateful for the calls to the hos
pital concerning his condition, but
they have been SO numerous the
hospital staff has been unable to
care for them. Accordingly Mrs.
Alexander is asking friends to call
her at her home, and further re-
quests that no visitors attempt to
see Mr.. Alexander for the reason
that his efforts to talk viii retard
the healing of the stitches about
his mouth. Mr.. Alexander's condi-
ton is very satisfactory and his
improvement is steady.
