Cannes, Dec. 25.

Fifteen years after his first experiments in rejuvenation with monkey glands, Pro fessor Sorge 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 ho 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 years of new life," he declared, "the real span of human life is 120 years and eventually all ofĮ us should live to be so old."

Behind the high walls of his romantie, castle in Southern France, near the Italian frontier, Serge Voronoff has confounded the sceptles who, fifteen years ago, laughed at his. "monkey glands" as fantastic.

Darwin, December 21. BUFFALO shooter Edward Sawdy drove into his camp at Barolba Creeks, 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.

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.

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