Cannes, Dec. 25.
Fifteen years after his first experiments in rejuvenation with monkey glands, Pro- fessor Serge Voronoff 'to-day revealed to me secrets of his work which he has hitherto kept from the world,
Unemotionally the famous gland ex-
pert declared that as a result of his dis- coveries he now believes that it is possible
for every normal man and woman to live to
be 120.

"I am able to give people at least fifteen yenes of new life," he declared, "the real span of human life is 120 years and eventually all of us should live to be so oll."
Behind the high walls of his romantic castle in Southern France, near the Italian frontier, Serge Voronoff has confounded the sceptics who, fifteen years ago, laughed at his "monkey-glands" as fantastic.

Darwin, December 21.
BUFFALO shooter Edward Sawdy
drove into his camp at Barolba Creek, 400 miles from Darwin, last week-end after a three-day hunting trip. He found his 32-year-old wife lying groaning in the shack.
For two days she had been ill, had only her seven-year-old son to help her. TROUBLE STARTS

Sawdy carried her to his lorry and the three set out for the nearest large camp-Pine Creek, 150 miles away.

AS RELIABLE AS
FINGERPRINTS
Blood tests at the public expense for determining paternity are advocated by Dr. Roche Lynch, the Home Office pathologist, in the British Medical Journal.
Many thousands of cases have been determined by these tests, he states, and they have proved as satisfactory as fingerprint investigations.
If the pathologist performing the test be reasonably competent and familiar with it there was no room for error.

"After three months," he said. "the patient looks younger, feels younger, and IS younger. And this new youth lasts from six, to ten years,
Even then. I have discovered, it is possible to grant another spell of youth. Some of my patients have been operated upon three times."
REASONS FOR MISTRUST
But here and in the United States the blood test was practically un- kubwn.
Dr. Roche Lynch ascribes the mis- trust of it in this country to the facts that it is not well known, that it is too expensive for the poor man and that it cannot be made compulsory
owing to the common law principle of the sanctity of the person.
Ile recommends that every woman secking an affiliation order against a nan should be obliged, on his appli- cation, to submit to the test as a condition of being allowed to proceed, and that the certificate of the patho- logist performing the test should be evidence, so that he need not be call-

Director David Cohen, who pre- sided at a meeting of the company's ,creditors in London recently said:
"Our object in forming this com- pany was to become chain store pro-. prietors, and we had in mind to open twenty or thirty shops covering a ring in South London, but the dis- 'astrous summer season, coupled with bad trade at West Wickham and difficulty in obtaining staff, has re- Isulted in the failure of the com-

Creditors were told that for the fourteen and a half months' trading to December 1933, the sales were £11,725, and there was a net loss of £371. For the twelve months to December 1934, a profit was made of

Then the lorry broke down. Sawdy, fearing that his wife would not survive the Journey to Pine Creck, sought the loan of a horse to ride there and ask "Flying Doc- tor Fenton to come to Old Arn- hemland in an airplane.
