The Seaforth News, 1923-11-01, Page 2NVITATION TO AID IN EUROPEAN SETTLE- MENT ACCEPT ED BY U.S. PRESIDENT despatch from Washington says: -In response to an official hi- quiry by. the• British Government, Seer etary of State Hughes has in- formed Great Britain that the United States is willing to participate in an advisory economic conference for the purpose of considering Germaf'1Yca- pacity to pay reparations and methods of effecting such payments, This co-operation is guaranteed only on the understanding that France and all other powers directly interested in German reparations con- cur in the plan and participate in the conference. If France or any other interested power should not ap- prove of the project of a reparations survey by an economic conference, and refuse to participate, the 'United States would determine whether it would participate, only after mature deliberation. Britain is revealed as putting forth a desperate effort to halt the dismem- berment of Germany and restore the status quo, with Germany and Franee in agreement on the payment rep- 1:•,.u.su..,vv..'tmlWSLtDSh:..3Pl3±Nu3'x._ :A`�.XJ,i�FRi 1 orations, To this end Great, Britain seeks the aid of the United States. That there had been a formal ek change of views between London and Washington on the European situa- tion was disclosed by Secretary Hughes on Thursday night, a few hours after former Prime Minister Lloyd George had called on him and. lunched with President Coolidge and told the press that only the United States can bring about the solution of, Europe's problems,, Mr, Lloyd George declined, however, to comment on. the Hughes note. As a culmination of the subtle drive of the canny Welshman to induce the United States to take a strong hand in European affairs, the American reply to the London,. sounding falls short of what • he had hoped for, though he•regards it as a step in the right direction from the British point of view. Mr. Lloyd George, however, does not despair of the United States, which he foresees eveutually setting the .European house in `order. CRcl S PLAY STA SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AT REPARATIONS TASK Lord Curzon, speaking for the entire British Commonwealth, has invited the 'United Statesto assist in the solution of the reparations problem, by the organization of a committee of experts to fix Germany's ability to pay her debts.

G. Ranting and, 3. J, R. MacLeod, for the discovery of insulin. The Nobel Prize in 1922 was award- ed to a professor of University Col- lege, London, Archibald Hill, because of his discoveries in the physiology of the muscles, and the second half to a professor of the University of Kiel, Otto Meyerhof, for his researches coo - corning oxygen, lactic acid and con- sumption of muscles. • This is only the second time that a Nobel Prize, for outstanding service in the field of medicine, has been awarded in America. It is the first time that. any Nobel Prize has ever fallen to the lot of a Canadian. The previous award of the prize in medicine on this continent was made to Dr, Alexis Carrel in 1912, for his work in connection with surgery of the blood vessels and transplantation of tisanes and organs The other Nobel awards .made to Americans are; One in physics to A. A. Michelson, one in chemistry to T. W. Richards, and prizes for efforts in furthering peace to the late Theodore Roosevelt, Honorable Elihu Root, and ex -President Woodrow Wilson. The total value of the award to be divided between Dr. Batting and Dr. MacLeod amounts to about $40,000. It is understood that the prize was awarded jointly, in view of the fact that Professor MacLeod, as head of the Department of Physiology at the 'University of Toronto, directed the work in the laboratories where Dr. Batting conducted the investigations which led up to the discovery of insulin. the. invitation.

The identification of woods is a mat= ter of some industrial importance and get the number of persons who can identify half a dozen common woods is probably limited, whereas most per- sons can readily name correctly six common metals. There; is a good rea- son for this. Metals are recognized by their color, but_thewoods are dis- tinguished by differences in their structure which are often microscopic.. Expert service in the identflcation of woods is provided to; Canadian citi- zens and industries by the Forest Pro- ducts Laboratories of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the In- terior, Canada, where special facilities for the purpose are available.

Wood, Johns Hop- kins University, just returned from; London, said on Friday that "per- petual preservation of the living brain of geniuses" was possible, if the op- eration of head transference he saw before the Royal Society in London could be performed on human beings. Indeed, he continued, experiments in transferring heads from one living body to another may lead to the crea- tion of two new. sexes. At the meet- ing of the society Dr•. Wood saw the head of a male beetle transferred to the body of a female beetle, while: the female's -.head was trausferred onto the body of the decapitated male. Both betties recovered from the operation and showed a complete reversal of form, the head apparently determin- ing the sex habits and characteristics. a FIRST CANADIAN NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS Dr. F. G. Batting, the discoverer o insulin, and Professor 7. J. 11, Mac- Leod, have been awarded the Nobel prize in science. Never before has this honor been bestowed upon a Canadian and only once has it come to this con tinennt, It indicates the tremendous appreciation of the eutre world, when the committee has seen fit to bestow both halves of the gift upon professore of the University of Toronto. It will total about forty thousand dollars. At I the left is Dr. Renting, and at the right, Professor J. 3. R. MacLeod, head of the department of Physiology of the University, where Dr. Banting'did his research work. The new sexes thus created were called masculine -female and feminine male. "If this transmission of sex char- acteristics by the exchange of heads could be applied to the human race," Dr. Wood said, "the possibilities would be startling. The head of the famous scientist, about to die, could be graft- ed to the body of a laborer or convict who was aboue to be executed. In thit way the brain of the genius would never be lost to mankind. Another interesting experiment was made with the beetles," Dr, Wood said. "The head of a water beetle was grafted to the body of a bone-dry beetle, and when placed in water for the first time the beetle began to swim lustily, and also made experiments in diving. "This experiment is the lateat bio- logical discovery," Dr. Wood said. ~WHY, wHAT ON EARTH 1 ARE ALL THE BATHERS RUNNIN' FOR o GlVi.

The memory of their hero sacrifice persists in the hearts of al of us at all titres; but it is well to set apart one day for special service and outward consecration. It is well, also, that we should re- member those . who have not given their lives, but their health, their prosperity, their success, pretty much all that makes life in this world profitable and attractive, says -the Editor of Youth's Companion..There are those who are . indeed moving about among us, but who are"maimed, crippled or otherwise injured, and who perform the offices of daily life with a steadfast courage only the greater for their manifest incapacity. Yet, Heaven forgive usi we sometimes lose our patience with them. There are those whom we never see and are too :likely to forget, who are so thorough- ly disabled physically or mentally -that they can never again take any active part with their fellows and even in some terrible cases are so disfigured that their fellows .can hardly endure the sight of them at all. And we know that these latter are in a manner taken care of. The Gov- ernment, for which they sacrificed everything, provides physicians and nurses to do what is necessary, and what is necessary is done. But phy- sicians and nurses are human; they have their own lives to live, and the care of a helpless, hopeless burden is o . i too likely to be mechanical, and in times of hurry and fatigue there may be indifference, perhaps even neglect.
