In addition to those who have def

they may go back to school, but also

NOT LONG AGO l heard a story
about a drunk man with a new
car. 1t probably was not true
but it was thought provoking. In
an effort to back out Of his home
garage, so the story goes, he
pushed over q neighbours fence
and sank nails in three tires.
Using an axe to disengage the
debris he Dashed in fender until
It pressed against his only re-
manning tire that held air.
Unable to make the MANNED
car run, the inebriate got under
it with a wrench and flattened
the gasoline line so the engine
could get almost no fuel; also
emptied the brake fluid on the
ground. Finally he lost his tenn
per and assaulted the body with
= pick until it was no longer a
closed car. After that he dis
coursed loudly and eloquently on
the mistakes Of the engineer who
designed it.
Unsound HOW like this story is

country for the last
decade. Instead of doing things

men of authority viewed every

and Grated on it's faults. Well

Charm Water Gate Audience
By Alice Eversmon

Last nights concert at the Water
Gate was the occasion to welcome
the renowned Mexican composer
conductor, Jose VssqueZ. as guest
director of the National symphony
Orchestra. He is the second con-
ductor from our neighbor TO the
South to lead the National SYM
phony, his famous compatriot. Car
los Chavez, having directed the or
chestra once during the regular
season in 1910. The only other Latin
American conductor to be heard at
the Water Gate was Burle Marx of
Brazil. who came for performa noes
in 1889 and 1910.
Mr.. VaSquez introduced new
works on his program, although it
was stated mistakenly that Tihkon
Khrennikow's symphony No l in
B fiat minor, op. 4" was given its
first local hearing. The Philadei-
phla Orchestra played the Sym
phony in October, 1912, in Consti-
tuition Hall but that single Der
torrance was far enough away for
the work TO be thoroughly un-
familiar. Although dedicated TO
Shostakovich, it has greater kin
ship in style with Prokofieff. except
for the shortness of it's lines. 1t is
remarkably translucent in struc-
ture with some moments OF har-
monic thickening in the modern
vein and vitality both in it's melodic
| themes and in the we'll interSpersed
dramatic outbursts.
But interest centered chiefly on
the compositions by Mr.. Vasquez
compatriots, Ponce's "Chapultepec'
and Tello's 'Intermezzo for String
Orchestra" Both these works have
not only the charm OF spontaneous
warmth but descriptive power
drawn from poetic ina agination
"Chapultepec" is full Of atmosphere
in which rich hues blend in sunlight
and the very heart of the people is
felt. Tello's early 'Intermezzo" is
one lovely melody on which the
composers harmonic fantasy plays
in conventional but highly appeal
ing fashion. These works offered
one OF the few occasions when one

Prolonged Experiments Needed.
The first necessity is to determine
whether it has any actual value
through prolonged test tube and an
imal experiments. If it promises to
be valuable 'additive factor" in
treating infections there will be the
very laborious process, which could
be greatly speeded up if it was
deemed essential, of producing it
free from all impurities SO that it
could be used even experimentally

Small amounts are to be dis

poses.
At the Public Health Service
there is no disposition to belittle
the possible real value of the Sc
rum as a stimulator of anti-body
response and experiments eventu-
ally may be resumed. But the value
must be proved step by step
through long chains of experiment
tation.

Judgment on Russian
Longevity Discovery
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

|
The attitude of American medi-
cine on the Russians so-called
longevity serum" is one of sus-
pended judgment, with very great
skepticism over some of the more
startling claims.
A serum is made by injecting
human connective tissue cells into
horses. When this serum is injected
into patients, it presumably stimu-
lates the connective tissue cells of
the body. 1t is in this tissue that
antibodies against infections are
produced. Presumably if the tissue
is stimulated its ability to form the
antibodies also will be stimulated.
To date, the chief official Russian
claims have been that it speeds the
healing of wounds and the setting
of fractured bones.
Unofficial claims are that 1t greatly
lengthens life and that it may be
valuable in the treatment of cancer
Tests Inconclusive.
Some tests have been made at the
National Cancer Institute of the
Public Health Service. These show
ed very little promise and have been
suspended, although there have been
some indications elsewhere that the
serum has an antagonistic action
against tumor cells in test tubes.
The longevity claims appear to
have arisen entirely from some
philosophical sMculations in lee
lures by DR.. Alexander A. Bogomo-
lets, the discoverer of the serum,
which were misinterpreted by Rus
sian newspapers. There is an old
saying that "a man is as young as
his arteries" 1t is equally correct
to say that "a man is as young as
his connective tissue cells" The
lining of the blood vessels is, in fact,
connective tissue. It is entirely pos
sible that the aging of this tissue,
from which antibodies are formed, is
one of the reasons why aging per-
sons are less able to resist infec-
tions.
But all this was entirely improved.
DR.. Bogomolets was only indulging
in natural line of philosophical
speculation which had occurred to
many others. He and his colleagues
have been quite conserva-
tive in their actual claims, have
made no secret of the material, and
are anxious to have laboratory sci
entists and physicians the world over
test its real merits.
Doctors Unimpressed.
The substance first came to the
notice of Americans when a group
of physicians, headed by DR.. A.
Baird Hastings, of Harvard Univers-
ity, and sponsored by the Office of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment, visited Russia in 1914.
Their impression at the time was
that the more prominent surgeons
in Moscow were not excited over the
longevity serum" and were making
no use of it in their own pratice.
Their only comment, which would
be essentially that of most 'Ameri-
can doctors, was that the theory was
interesting and that it was quite
probable that the serum might prove
a valuable adjunct in the prevention
of infections. Some of the serum
was brought back at that time and
used in the Public Health Service
The serum in its present form is
extremely crude. No American doc
tor, and probably few Russian doc
tors, would be willing to use it in
treating a human being and an
