Thinks Humans Can Live to Be
300 Years Old

TO prove" his theory that
people can live TO the ripe
. old age OF 200, or even 800,
Or. Maurice Ernest, the famed
British biologist, is planning to
establish a longer life" expert
mental station in Berkshire,
England. where he proposes to
put a number of men and women
under clinical treatment.
1t is the belief of Dr. Ernest.
who is nearly 20, that longevity
can be achieved by preventing
the bodily disorders which cause
old age. Although the British
scientists statement that il is
possible To live TO be 200 years,
or more, may seem startling,
there is much evidence 10 indi-
cate that future generations may
do just that.
Life expectancy has been
doubled since Roman times;
Future medical and biological
discoveries may result in another
doubling AS it now stands, each
succeeding generation is given a
better chance Of living longer.
The average life span today
is 65.
In Henry Wits time" Or.
Ernest points out. "a man of 80
was on crutches. Go back a little
further, and you find that Roman
citizens could expect TO live only
about 80 years.
prime Minister Churchill is
in his late COS" the British
scientist added. what a ire
mendous thing it would be If he
could say, I'm only a youngster,
I've got another 20 years yet"
Fifteen years ago, DR.. Ernest
organized the Centenarian Club
for the purpose of Investigating
means whereby health and vigor
may be retained beyond the CEN
tury"
Just how the famed biologist

proposes to stave off the Old
Man with the Scythe at his
longer life" clinic remains To be
seen. But if DR.. Ernest can't do
II, no living scientist cantor
the Britisher is an expert in the
matter of longevity.
II is rarity indeed when
people live beyond 100. But
some do. Out in Sapulpa, okla
homa, for example, Aunt Lizzie
Deevers passed her 111th birth
day last August. Remarkably
active, Aunt Lizzie has already
run through nine husbands, and
admits she's got her cap set for
a tenth--a mere youngster of so.
Although the life span was
shorter years ago, there are some
remarkable cases of longevity
back three and four centuries
ago-that is If contemporary
records can be believed.
The 18th century provided two
remarkable Methuselahs in Eng
land, At Bolton, Yorkshire,
Henry Jenkins was buried De-
cember Is, 1870, at the tender
age Of 1863, while at Wilmington
Alberbury, Shropshire, Thomas
Parr was put in his final resting
place November 10, 1885, at the
age of 152.
There are a dozen cases on
record in the 18th century of
people reaching eges between
80 and 40. and one Of a
woman's reaching 175.
The Countess OF Desmond died
in 1882 at lao. Death believe
il or noD was caused by her
fall out of an apple tree. Mrs.
Louisa Trusco was 175 when
she passed away in 1880.
The oldest man i'm our century
so far seems TO be Charles N
Arnold who died last year in
Liverpool, England, at 112 years
of age

written, threw II into the waste
basket and returned TO bed.
Mrs. Smith found an excuse 10
remain in the room that morn
ing until after Mrs. Kaber left.
Then she took the crumpled
paper out Of the wastebasket
and read:
Dear Marion,
IF anybody questions you or
follows you, be very careful. Also
tell Granny TO be careful. Tell
her to warn Mrs. c., too. 1 have
an uneasy feeling"
The message stopped there.
Mrs. Smith had been so thor
oughly drilled by us that she put
the crumpled paper back into the
wastebasket. Mrs. Kaber might
be testing her. If the letter were
missing when she returned she
might become suspicious. Mrs.
Smith telephoned our Cleveland
office for instructions and was
told TO wait until the chamber
maid came TO do the room. when
II would be safe TO remove the
letter.
Mrs. Kaber did not return that
morning, and Mrs. Smith brought
us the crumpled message.
That night before bed when
they were together again Mrs.
Smith reverted to the subject of
her supposed plight. Eva, you
must advise me. or I'll do some
thing rash about my husband"
Mrs. Kaber regarded her with
brooding eyes. Il know a for
tune-teller who might" She
changed her mind abruptly and
went on, mo, l don't know any
body who can help you!"
That was all Mrs. Smith ever
got out of her and the reader
will guess that we were hoping

be the lcreep-producing woman
described by Miss Baehr. We
had a promising clue in Mrs.
Kaber's mentioning a fortune
teller and then changing her
mind about the lady's useful
ness.
All we had TO do was look up
every female fortune-teller in
Cleveland whose name began
with G. 1t was a tedious job
because there happened to be
quite a few OF them and each
time we had to contrive TO show
the mystic to Miss Baehr. with
out the girl being seen.
But bother is nothing in the
life of detective and in the end,
the college girl exclaimed:
That's the woman ! saw. The
one that gave me the creeps."
This woman from whom moth
ing In the past or future is hid
den" was Mrs. Ermenia Colaveta,
n squat, blowsy woman with sui
len, black eyes and heavy lids.
We decided 10 lean against her"
One of our men came TO her to
have his fortune told" She
told him routine stuff. He be-
came impatient, then said sud-
denly:
Take another look at your
crystal ball and tell me IL you
can see any table silver initiated
X"
The crystal bali fell to the
floor and shattered. The detec-
tive pressed his advantage. Rap
idly he sketched i'm the story of
the Kaber murder. Mrs. Cola.
veta broke out into tears, oaths,
accusations, retractions and de-
fiance.
But our agent had pieced to-
gether much and finally con-
WINGED her that she had better
help the authorities by confess
ing.
She made a detailed statement
and signed it. 1t read in part:
Mrs. kaber heard that / could
do Afitore, which means Super
natural Power and said her hus-
band was very bad TO her and
that she couldn't stand il any
longer and she wanted me TO
put Supernatural Power to him
so that she could get rid of him"
Mrs. Colaveta gave her a bot
tie containing poison and told
her 10 put some in her husbands
food. Mrs. kaber did so but as
the poison only paralyzed her
husband, she went back to Mrs.
Colaveta for more drastic action.
Mrs. Colaveta then got two un-
employed Italians To stage what
would seem a robbery but in
reality would be murder.
Mrs. Colayeta was rushed to
prison.
At the same time two cars
filled with men from our CIeye-
land office dashed for an outly-
ing suburb, three others sped 10
the Kaber mansion.
The first car came back with
out a prisoner Vittorio Passelli,
a thirty year old giant who
pinned Daniel Kaber down dur
ing the murder, had fled to Italy.
The second car drew up before
a slstternly cottage and our men
rushed it. They cornered a young,
powerful looking man, Sam Gala.
and expected a battle. The man
did put up his hands to fight,
but TO our amazement he proved

weak as a child. 1t was he who
stabbed Daniel Kaber and had
to do IL over and over, so feeble
were his blows.
This pair of journeymen muir
derers worked their partnership
wrong. The feeble-armed Gala
should have had the easy job of
holding down their almost-com-
pletely paralyzed victim while
the giant Passelli finished him
with one deep stab, instead of %
shallow ones that almost let the
dead man come to life and tell
tales.
At the Kaber mansion our
Cleveland operators isolated Mrs
Brickel, Marion and Mrs. Kaber
from one another Mrs. Brickel
broke down. She told of witness
ing interviews between her daugh-
ter and Mrs. Colaveta.
The table silver cabinet had
been forced open with the three
pronged ice-pick and the silver
scattered over the rugs 10 make
it seem the work of robbers.
While Daniel Kaber was being
murdered Marion happened to be
playing the piano, and this had
drowned his cry for help.
When we bore down on Mrs.
Kaber we came up against q
stone wall. Her face grew crag-
gy, her black eyes stared un-
blinkingly, her lips closed in a
line and stayed closed. Those
granite lips never let go of a
syllable against herself.
BY the way, for the benefit of
those who believe that blondes
have a sort of monopoly on
Wiekedness, IL should be noted |
that the woman responsible for
this crime was a brunette, with
coal-black eyes.
At the trial the prosecutor
proved the story of a woman,
with no great physical charms
but possessed Of a tremendous
will and ambition, who had mar
ried man for his money but was
not content just to spend his
money. She carried on a series
of affairs with other men until |
her husband began TO suspect and
made these romances difficult
For this she hated him so |
poisonously that she tried TO in
feet her mother and daughter |
with the feeling.
The case against Mrs. Brickel !
and Marion. the jury decided, was
too weak.
They were set free, but Mrs
kaber, Colaveta, and Sam Gala
were sentenced 10 life imprison.
ment for first-degree murder.
Vittorio Passelli, captured in
Italy, received the same convic-
ton and sentence TO life there.
Mrs. Kaber's life sentence
turned out to be almost exactly |
ten years, not because the parole |
board had gotten around TO her
but because by that time her |
furious, frustrated will had
burned out her body in volcanic |
RACES against the bars of her
cell.

NEW YORK. oct. 22-What
an idea Harry Sherman has in
filming the life story of Tom Mix,
the late cowboy star. who was
perhaps the most fabulous OF all
the westerueTs. No star before
or since ever hit Toms high
water mark pay check. AT one
time the old Fox company was
paying him $17500 per week
- weeks out Of the year and
that was before the days Of high
income tax.
But Toms ansions and
ieWeled saddles were not all his
life story not by a long shot.
He had been with Teddy Roose-
Vclt's Rough RIDERS IN the Gu
ban campaign, and as a u. S.
marshal he fought it out with
many bad men. The actor who
plays Tom Will literally have to
fill his boots for Sherman a close
personal friend, has acquired 80
resplendent cowboy outfits for

which either Twentieth or Para
mount will release.
Daryl Zanuck will leave 1t up
to you, Mr. and Mrs. Public. as

Greenwich Village" For the
past four weeks Bill lie Baron
and director Walter Lang have
been testing such Twentieth
honeys as Gale Robbins, Vivian
Blaine. Doris Merrick, Faye
Marlowe and Lois Andrews and
they passed the buck TO Zanuck
by asking him TO decide.
Now he's passing it on to the
ticket buyers by having the final
tests incorporated into a Techni-
color featurette. 1t will be shown
to theater audiences all over the
country and they will be asked to
vote on their favorite gal.
