told a most fascinating story,
"You must understand," he said, "that my work is divided into two sections operations upon human beings and operations upon animals. The public, naturally, is more interested in the rejuvenation of human beings, but the real im- portance of my work attaches to animals-the re-strengthening and rejuvenation of valuable cattle, the improvement of breeds and so forth.

"That is hard to say was the reply. "You see, we have been conducting these experiment, only for ten years. We cannot say for certain that we have added to length of life, yet the indications point. that way. In another ten years yes, then we shall know."
"Have any of your patients diad since this operation was performed upon them
Ah was the reply. "That is significant. I myself have conduct- ed thousands of these operations. Thousands more have been conduct ed: by my punlis in different parts of the world. Yet, to my know- Jedge,

The interviewer then questioned Dr. Veronoff on his statement to the Zoologien Congress at Buda- pest in 1027 concerning the crea- tion of a new race of geniuses by operating on children.

"Genius cannot be created. Either it is there or it is not there. "My experiment means sam thing rather different to that. I contend, in fact I am certain that if this operation were performed on a child at the age of right or ten months, that child's mental and physical powers would be greatly
