Prince Ramon de la Sierra
dropped in at The Times office
today.
Prince Ramon is a herbivorous,
1eaping, nocturnal rock rodent
in other words he is one of those
exceedingly rare and valuable
little animals, a chinchilla.
The Prince-that's his registered
name and his number. 1929, is
tatooed in his right ear-is just
q foot long, with a bushy tail
adding another six inches in his
length. He weighs % ounces and
he is worth just $1,000.
$4,000 THE PAIR
Yes sir, chinchillas cost $4,000 a
pair in case you are interested in
having pair of them for pets.
Howard Wetzel and Tom Far
row have purchased IS of the
little fellows, and are establishing
a chinchilla farm near New Mar
ket, Va. They expect to have it on
q commercial basis in IS to 20
years.
BY that time they expect to be
selling pelts to make fur coats to
adorn milady. Probably there
never will be a great demand for
chinchilla coats, however, for the
cost is terrific. One of the last
coats sold brought $125,0O0, al
though Cecil B. DeMille, the
movie magnate, got one for a
mere $4,000.
The reason, of course. is that
the, fur is so scarce. The chin
chilla is practically extinct.
NATIVES OF ANDES
Because of excessive trapping
there are practically none left
alive in their native habitat, the
Andes of South America.
There are only about 1000 of
the little animals in all the world,

The cnincillaS eat corn, rolled

ing out the problem.
Stalwartly defending their stand
against socializing medicine, the
executive session of the house of
delegates was on record today
that no formula or program can
possibly be found adequate to
meet the varied needs of medical
care"
These quoted words, contained
in the report of Josephone Roche,
formerly in charge of public health
service as Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, we're flung back
at the New Deal" proposal that
the A. M. A. endorse a broad pro-
gram of medicinal care for the
underprivileged.
In the same closed session, the
doctors squelched the movement
of the New Jersey delegation to
restrict the ''eXtra-curricular"
activities of DR.. Morris Fishbein,
of Chicago, to his duties as edi-
tor of the journal of the associa-
ton. The Jersey delegation sought
to halt FishbeinS work as a con-
tributor to the daily press and
in sponsoring medical handbooks.
Today the house of delegates,
governing body of the association,
was in recess, subject to the
chairs call, while the scientific
section, comprising some 1000
visiting medicos, got down to the
real business of exchanging
scientific data.
In commenting on the Roche
report, the executive committee
seized upon the statement in the
report that there was a tremen-
dously high rate of illness in
poverty stricken families to sug-
gest that "the economic factor in
volved" might be more important
than the lack of medical care in
the cauSation of illness"
READ BY DRAPER
The committee objected to the
suggestion in the Roche report
that there be expended "huge
sums for treatment of such
specific diseases as tuberculosis
and syphilis because of a lack of
balance in the general health pro
gram of the nation.
The Roche report was read to
the delegates by DR.. Warren F.
Draper, assistant surgeon general,
in Miss Roche'S absence.
The committee headed by Miss
Roche was set up in August, 1885,
following passage of the social
security act, to spread the "bene-
fits of the varied Federal programs
to the men, women and children
for whose aid and service the pro-
gram was brought into existence"
