i A4 RESCUE OF FORTUNE HUNTERS PLANNED Coast Guard Prepares to Send Cutter to Take Eight # Off Guadalupe Island. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. SAN DIEGO, Calif,, September 3 (N.AN.A) —Coast Guard officials here esterday prepared to send a cutter to imcly Guadalupe Island, 220 miles southwest of San Diego, to rescue eight fortune hunters who have been ma- Tooned on the island for four months. J. A. Woodcock of San Diego, Orval Lindsey, William Watson, his wife, daughter, son and Chinese cook of Los Angeles and a man named Bradshaw compose the party. For four months the fortune hunters have been seeking pirates’ gold and attempting to earn a living on the nearly barren island by killing the wild sheep which abound there and drying the meat and hides for sale to Mexicans on_the mainiand. Recently news came from the island, by way of a Coast Guard cutter, that the party was sadly in need of food and clothing_because supplies, ordered months ago, had failed to arrive. The party was dressed in clothing of skins and grass and were subsisting largcly on goat meat and eggs of sea birds when they succeeded in hailing ;l;etcrew of the welcomed Coast Guard at. Government help in the rescue was gained through the efforts of Mrs. ‘Woodcock, who appealed to officials in Washington for aid in bringing her hus- band and the others back to the United States. H Guadalupe Island, with its wild sheep and goats, has been the goal of a num- ber of unsuctessful expeditions during the past few years. The sheep and oats, which, first reached the island rom a sinking ship years ago, have taken control ‘of the barren stretch and their meat and fleece are the lure which attracts the fortune hunters. At one time, too, Guadalupe, a vol- canic formation, was supposed to have been the rendezvous for a number of pirates who preyed on the early Spanish merchantmen; This has given rise to Tumors of butied treasure there.

REVOLT IN RUSSIA HELD UNLIKELY Dr. Kinsman, Tells Rotarians Secret Police and Propaganda Se- cure ‘Soviet Regime. ‘The Russian Soviet Government is firmly in the saddle and there is no chance of revolt, Dr. Delos C. Kinsman, head of the economics department of American UniYersity, declared yesterday at a meeting of the Rotary Club in the Willard Hotel. Secret police operatives scattered throughout the country and extraor- dinary propaganda machinery render the Soviet regime secure, he said. Dr. Kinsman was a member of the committee of American economists, headed by the: late Dr. Henry R. Seager, who made a 35-day tour of investiga- Lon in Russia to get an unbiased view of the sitvation. The task was ren- dered less difficult than anticipated, the speaker said, because, despite the ret- icence of public officials, the naturally garrulous Russlans answered all ques- tions without hesitation. Dr. Kinsman said the party arrived at the conclusion that “nothing like our capitalistic regime will ever return to thsm - resident 8, Percy Thompson - Aldcni at thej;xtm%heon meeting.

C, CHEMISTS REVEAL WAY TO CURE INSANITY AND DWARFED BODIES l Lack of Necessary Secretions Is Remedied by Injections—Diabetics Enabled to Eat Sugar Diet. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y., September 3.—Rec- ords of a girl saved from dwa: , of insane persons cured by hormones and the discovery that sugar can be fed to diabetics were reported to an endocrine symposium of the American Chemical Soclety today. Endocrines are the ductless glands, whose secretions, the hormones, are held by some scientists to. account for the differences between races. They overn to quite an extent height, slenderness or breadth, length of arms and legs, shape of face, quality of voice, distribution of hair or of fat on the body, possibly skin pigment, masculine characteristics in women, such as deep voice, beard and masculine features, and even the emotions. Chemists have been isolating hor- mones for several years, but their ap- plication to human health has been difficult, anc!_some of the leaders of the medical prclession reported today on progress. Stopped Growing at 6. A 1 who stopped growing at 6 was_described by William Englebach, M. D, of New York City. A growth hormone, extracted from the pituitary glands of animals, was given to make up for a deficiency in secretion from the girl's own pituitary. In less than two years she grew nearly 3 inches. The circumference of her head increased 6 inches. Her weight rose 7% pounds. ‘These cases of arrested growth in childhood, said Dr. Englebach, are not uncommon, but comparatively few have been recognized. Even now, he added, the general medical profession cannot obtain growth hormones because of dif- ficulties about purifying them. He pre- dicted these hormones will be available soon, and with them another from the same gland that will control sex de- velopment. Insanity, particularly dementia prae- cox and dual personality, due in con- siderable degree to endocrine disorder, was_dealt with by Dr. R. G. Hoskins, M. D., of Harvard Medical School, and P. H. Sleeper of Worcester, Mass., State hospital. These forms of in- sanity, Dr. Hoskins said, comprise about 20 per cent of the total hospital popula- tion of the United States. In Harvard experiments, a hormone from the thyroid gland was given to | 18 dementia praecox sufferers. Five of these became well enough to go home. Most of the others showed “significant improvement.” Dr. Hoskins saf yrold deKcluncy is partly responsible for more than 10 per cent of dementia CO! in hospitals. When the thyroid hor- mone is administered, the threshold at which its effects first appear is “sure prisingly high.” Insulin, the hormone which relieves diabetes, is supplemented by diet dis- coveries at Montreal General Hu;ylul described by Dr. I. M. Rabinowitch, who said: “Provided the fat content of the diet is kept at a very low level, it has been found that diabetics can, according to the severity of the disease, tolerate what have hitherto been regarded as impossibly large amounts of carbohy- drates (sugar) without the ald of. insulin. We now have over 500 patients on these diets.” Jean Paul Pratt, M. D,, of the Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, said that the “clear cut striking results of experi- ments on animals are not reproduced in human subjects up to the present A minor human difficulty is dis- comfort from‘hormone hypodermics. In case of one hormone this discomfort was avolded by putting it in a nazal spray so that it was absorbed by the mucous membrane of the nose. Sugar Feeds Cancers. Sugar is a “fuel” for cancer, and its regulation in diet is essential for cancer treatment, the society was told yester- day. The report came from the cancer research department of the University of Pennsylvania from work done by Gladys E. Woodward and Edith G. under direction of Ellice McDonald, M. D. “In cancer,” said Dr. McDonald, in explaining the technical report, “the essential difference between tumor tissue and normal tissue is the ability of can- cer to digest the animal sugar (or glycogen) in a different and more ex- peditious way than normal. “The greater the amount of sugar there is in the blood of cancer patients, the shorter is the expectation of their lives. Cancer patients with a low blood sugar respond well to treatment and have a better chance of survival, with slow growth of the tumor.” REAR ADMIRAL MOORE DIES AT ATLANTIC CITY Brief Illness Fatal to Retired Naval Officer; Had Notable Career. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. September 3—Rear Admiral Edwin King Moore, United States Navy, retired, died yes- terday at Galen Hall after a brief ill- ness. He was 84 years old. Although the admiral had been ail- ing for some zu‘rlu, he did not become eriously ill until a day or two ago. 5 Ad.mr}f Moore had lived at Galen Hall since the death of his wife 15 years ago. Rear Admr, Moore was a member of the Army and Navy Club here. He was retired from the Navy on July 24, 1909, following an outstanding career that took him to many parts of the world and engaged him in sea service for nearly a quarter of a century. BOOK TRADE INCREASES Mac-Millan Reports Largest Vol- ume of Sales Since 1869. NEW YORK, September 3 (#).—The sals of publications in the United States for the fiscal year ending April 30, the MacMillan Co. reported yester- day, has been greater than in any other year since the founding of the company in 1869 as a branch of the parent Lon- don house. George P. Brett, president of the company since 1896, today was elected chairman of the board of directors, a newly created office. A ‘reduction in exports, the report said, due to conditions in Ausiralia and China, had caused a decline in gross business in the last two months. Real Half Century for Two.

Special orders transferring Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Darrah to duty in the Panama Canal Zone were issued yes- terday by the War Department. Gen. Darrah was chief of staff of the 3d Corps Area, which embraces the Dis- trict of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff, announced recently that Gen. Darrah, a native of Kansas, would be ordered to a brigade command in the Canal Zone upon his assumption of rank as a general officer. His promo- tion became effective yesterday. Representative Wyant, Republican, Pennsylvania, protested the promotion several days ago. He asserted Darrah, during the World War, had been re- lieved of a field brigade command on a charge of unfitness. Gen. MacArthur sald last night he had reccived many telegrams from all parts of the United States deprecating the attack on Darrah. ‘The chief of stac sald he had per- sonally gone over the World War files and found the charges against Darrah were declared unsound by an investi- gating board at the time and Gen. Pershing had restored Darrah to an- other brigade command. IRON FOUNDRY REOPENS LOUISVILLE, Ky. September 3 (). —Between 800 and 900 men will return to work at the Standard Sanitary Man- ufacturing Co. here, officials of the company said yesterday.
