Hereditary Changes Caused by Violet Ray Rice Institute Announces Result of Experiments Sun Tan May Lead to Mutations Depends Upon Whether Genes Are Disturbed Houston, Dec.

23 (JP) The ultra-violet light which tans a girl's cheek Is also capable of causing the "mutations" which are one of the sources of evolution. "Mutations" are hereditary changes by which new types of men and new species of animals and plants A pleasantly wet Christmas was indicated last nL'-t, to be moistened largely by legal moisture, but there was some evidence that the average citizen, at least in New York, was not completely satisfied with the legal liquor situation. Ever since repeal was made the law of the land on Dec. some grumbling has been heard, here and there, that the rr i Paradise was not here. The slow process of granting permits, the consequent difficulty of purchasing a bottle of the good, old stuff, the more criticized aspects of the State regulations, such as that it is all right to down a glass of ale while leaning against a bar but that a cocktail must be drunk in a semi-horizontal position and with the aid of a waiter all that irritated the average citizen who had made repeal possible and without whom it could not becomes success.

High Prices Irritate But most of all he was both irritated and surprised by the prices of legal liquor. While that surprise has now waned with familiarity, the Irritation has grown. And It gathered a large chunk of additional growth with the arrival of Health Commissioner Wynne's report that much of the legal liquor is no better than bootleg stuff. If that is so, Mr. John A.

Citizen 'A for average) wants to know, what was the good of his voting for repeal? And as a corollary to that, he begins to wonder whether there was not something fine, after all, about the bootlegger and the speakeasy. And he even resorts, at times when he is partially Irritated, to the bootlegger and speakeasy. Bath tub gin retains its popularity. For prevailing liquor prices quite frequently compare not at all favorably with those of the illegal prohibition days. Particularly in the last few months before prohibition died, those prices had become what the average citizen considered almost reasonable.

Bootleg- Prices Cut In a medium-class speakeasy, for Instance, cocktails were 35 cents at the bar, straight rye the same, gin drinks 25 cents. And many an honest neighborhood bootlegger would sell you rye at a dollar a pint. To be sure, he would tell you, if be were honest and they became amazingly honest toward the end-that the rye was synthetically constructed, of pure grain alcohol and pure coloring and flavoring materials. After repeal, Mr. Citizen used to think, things would not be like that.

Well, now repeal is here, and drinks at a table are no cheaper they used to be at the med-iumrclass speakeasy bar (and there's a waiter to tip), and you may buy a quart of rye for, at the lowest, about S2.75. And when Commissioner Wynne's men take it through their test-tubes, why, it comes out, 40 percent of the time, as something concocted of grain alcohol and flavoring and coloring material. Club Quotes Prices Of course, there are higher-priced bottles than the $2.75, just as J. Citizen used to pay higher prices before repeal. A well-known downtown club, for instance, provides its members with a brandy at ..6 a quart; rye, champagne, Scotch, $7 and $8.

These are considered worth every cent of the prices quoted. But our progressively irritated and suspicious Citizen remembers that it was possible to obtain liquors thus labeled, and at these or lower prices, from his friend, the bootlegger. Yes, of course. He always suspected the bootlegger who told him this was the "real stuff, fresh from the boat," aged in the wood and whatnot. He suspected the labels.

But here is Commissioner Wynne who says the higher-priced legal whiskies, for example, are just as liable to be "imitation" as the others. And he suspects the legal labels, too. the genes which He burled in the hearts of body cells. But there is another source of ultra-violet which appears to originate in the cells themselves and which can apparently readily strike genes with its rays. This body ultra-violet is named "mitogenetic" rays, and is a recent discovery of science.

At first its existence was disputed, but lately evidence of existence of these queer invisible rays has been piling up in numerous laboratories. They have been detected streaming from human eyes, noses and most parts of the body. Frequently their source has been traced to ill health. Plans Are Changed Washington, Dec. 23 (JP) Enactment of a permanent Federal liquor control method by1 Congress will be delayed by the Administration until after many of the problems confronting the Federal Alcohol Control Administration have been straightened out.

This was indicated in Administrative and Congressional circles today when it was disclosed that the legislative proposal previously suggested by the President's Interdepartmental Alcohol Committee would not be considered by the House Ways and Means Committee until after the projected liquor and general revenue bills are through the House. Congressional leaders were given to understand that the Administration felt that until after the Immediate post-repeal difficulties relating to production, distribution and sale of liquor had been worked no proposals for permanent legislation should be submitted. At first it had been planned to send the liquor control bill up for action immediately following the revenue measure. Uniform Whisky Labels Favored Washington, Dec. 23 IP) Dr.

James M. Doran, supervisor of the Distilled Spirit Institute, said today that a proposed set of labeling regulations would be submitted to the Federal Alcohol Administration next week. He made clear that the idea behind this step is economy. "We want to have a uniform label throughout the country," he said, "In order that we won't have to put different labels on bottles sent into different States. "If we had to do that the price of whisky would be higher than it is now." Christmas Play Given at Museum The dramatic club of the Brooklyn Museum, one of the children's groups under the direction of the educational department, presented its annual Christmas play at the museum yesterday before an audience of 500 youngsters and grownups.

The children made their costumes, with the aid of Mrs. Michelle Murphy and Miss Hannah Rose, who also assisted with the general details. Garner Hangs Cotton Sock for Santa Claus Uvalde, Dec. 23 (JP) An old-fashioned Christmas, free from the hustle, bustle and elaborate preparations consonant with the day in many other parts of the country, will be the choice of Vice President John N.

In central Washington traffic was blocked and hundreds of travelers' were marooned. Homes Are Wrecked i In north Idaho floods thundered down from the mountains, wrecking houses as they came, shattered communications and isolated the Coeur d'Alene mining cities of Wallace, Mullen, Kellogg and Burke-for a time. British Columbia, where earth slides and Inundation had wreaked havoc with rail and' motor traffic, reported conditions' were much Improved. Chicago yesterday enjoyed a freak and almost Springlike day.

Dives Into River And Rescues a Bov i Richard Munkwitz, 18, is learning' today how It feels to be a hero. He is also finding out how to ward oft' the effects of a sudden plunge Into ice cold water. Both of these results are due to Richard's spon- -taneous action in going to the rescue of an unidentified boy who fell into the water at the foot of Amity, St.

about 4:30 p.m. Friday. Richard, whose home is at 273 Clinton heard a scream and saw a boy struggling In the water about 15 feet from shore. According to witnesses. Richard Jumped into the water, grabbed the boy and swam with him to where the lad promptly disap- peared.

Other employes of the cooperage' concern found some dry clothing, for the hero and then rushed him home.

192 Bowery, New York Olty, ABC to Receive New Applicants Reduced Rum License Fee Is More Permits Granted New applications for licenses to sell wine and liquor in stores for off-the-premises consumption will be received beginning Tuesday, Edward P. Mulrooney, chairman of the State Alooholic Beverage Control Board, announced yesterday. The decision to receive more applications brought up the question of reducing the license fee for the period ending April 1, which was set last month, at $400 for stores and $500 for hotels, clubs and restaurants. Seek Reduction Inasmuch as one of the four Interim months, during, which the board is in power, has already passed, there has been some agitation for a prorated reduction of the fee. Mr.

Mulrooney said he would seek an opinion from Attorney General John J. Bennett on the question, but expressed the conviction that the board had no discretion in the matter. A total of 2,460 licenses of all types have been granted in the city thus far by the board, Mr. Mulrooney said, and only 20 more applications are now pending. Aftei Jan.

1, he said, he will open hearings on the liquor license applicants who have been refused, of whom there are hundreds. 231 New Licenses Licenses to sell both wines and liquor were Issued yesterday to 59 stores, 117 restaurants, four clubs and eight hotels, and licenses to sell wine only were granted to 38 restaurants, three stores and two clubs, thus bringing the day's total licenses to 231.

Silent on Walker Concerning reports that the former Mayor contemplated returning to re-enter politics the postmaster was without information.

"I didn't ask him any such question. Nor did Mr. Walker give any indication of it." A noncommittal answer also was given by Mr. Farley to a question concerning the recent attack on the power trust by W. Kingsland Macy, Republican State chairman, and his demand for a full Senate Inquiry.

"I am not cognizant of the facts of the situation," said Mr. Farley, "and, therefore, I am in no position to comment on it. But I am going to study the situation."

Laundry Jury Nears Finish Continued from Page 1 lng trial of Red Jake Mellon and two of his aides, Edward Lollo and Morris Rothenberg, on charges of conspirihg to wreck the laundry of Philip Schlanger, for his refusal to take Mellon's orders. Schlanger's laundry, incidentally, was thoroughly torn apart. Replete with evidence that attempts were being made to intimidate and bribe the State's witnesses, the trial proceeded sensationally for ten days until the defense counsel were due to put the defendants on the stand. Then, in a surprising move that followed mysterious negotiations, Mellon, Lollo and Rothenberg pleaded guilty to conspiracy before County Judge Alonzo G.

McLaughlin. The trio were Jailed for two weeks to await sentence. Judge McLaughlin on Sept. 1 suspended execution of a penitentiary sentence on the trio, making one of the con- ditions of their liberty that thy carry out the terms of the NRA in their laundries. Accused of Violating NRA 'Charges that Lollo has violated this term of his probation were filed with the NRA Regional Board on Friday by Charles Solomon, Socialist leader, and will be tried shortly).

Judge McLaughlin's leniency aroused a storm of criticism, one of the critics being District Attorney William F. X. Geoghan, who denied he had been a party to the plea and probation pact. Geoghan moved to bring Mellon Rothenberg and Lollo to trial on a second laundry racket Indictment and it was while preparations for this trial were being made that reports of a $4,500 "slush fund" being raised during the first trial reached both Judge McLaughlin and the prosecutor. Governor Acts After gathering in several checks bearing Mellon's signature, all ol which were made out while the trip I was in progress, and totaling $4,500, Judge McLaughlin early in October wrote to the Governor asking for an IndeDendent invpst.lirnr.lnn Inrn tho whole laundry racket situation ueognan, whose Inquiry had been independent of that pursued by Judge McLaughlin, sent a similar request the same day.

The Governor a week later acceded to the requests by commissioning Sunremft Cnlirr. Pierce H. Russell of Troy to preside over a special term of the court and an extraordinary grand Jury with almost unlimited powers of inquisition. Attorney General John J. Bennett Jr.

designated Mr. Conboy as special prosecutor to supersede Mr. Geoghan. The second Mellon trial resulted In the acquittal of the three defendants by a Jury before County Judge John J. Fitzgerald Just prior to the convening of the State investigation on Nov.

The House of Lehrenkrauss was formed more than 50 years ago by Julius Lehrenkrauss, father of the Julius who Is now its head. It passed to the present Julius and another son, Herman, when the founder died. Herman died in 1924, leaving his Interest jointly to his widow, Kath-erine, and their son, Charles. Shortly thereafter there was a realignment of ownership, when the present head of the house gave a share of his interest to his son, J. Lester M.

Lehrenkrauss. Then John Kaiser and Herman Rlchter, old employes, were admitted to the partnership. Kaiser and Rlchter received a 2 percent interest each, leaving each side of the present Lehrenkrauss family a 48 percent interest. Charles claimed on the witness stand before Commissioner Bick that his participation in the affairs of the concern were confined almost entirely to its insurance business. He said he resigned last October, when he discovered that mortgages were being created without the requisite preliminary surveys; that participations were being sold in excess of the value of the mortgages of which they were supposed to i a part, and that mortgages sold to the public in the form of participations were being hypothecated with banks for loans.

Like other witnesses, Charles claimed that since the present Julius became head of the House of Lehrenkrauss in 1924, it has been a one-man concern, the present head functioning as an absolute dictator.

Announcement of experiments verifying this power In the rays was made at Rice Institute through publication in Science, the official Journal of American scientists. The experiments indicated that sunshine Itself is possibly rarely or never the direct source of rays which produce mutations, the alterations in tiny living practices known as genes, which control heredity of everything that lives. The sun's ultra-violet is screened by the "tissues" of human beings, plants and animals from reaching Decision Near On Money Plan Continued from Page 1 Reconstruction Finance Corporation's purchases of gold is to continue, and that experimentation with the managed dollar will not be abandoned. Meanwhile the President has bound himself to an international silver agreement, which he regards as an earnest of what can be accomplished with respect to gold. The probabilities are that whatever is in the President's mind with respect to gold, he will await the effect of the silver program before coming to a decision with regard to what he describes as the "other bases" of currencies.

The President himself, in expressing his hope of stabilization, has never used the word "gold." Opinion Divided on Silver As to whether silver will set the pace for a perceptible rise in the prices of commodities, economic opinion is divided. To the average Eastern citizen, taught to believe that a return to the gold standard, no matter on what basis of devaluation, would represent financial salvation In a world of shifting values where the horizon is clouded with the dark threat of paper Inflation, 'no answer can be given as to the administration's intentions. The general opinion here is that the President's ratification of the world agreement on sliver was calculated as a political move to disarm the inflationists in Congress. If that was the Intention, the results must await the event, for the Immediate reaction of such inflationists as Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana was to deprecate this move as insufficient, here and fitted together, tell of a terrific lightweight fighter.

All the bones are hollow, like those of birds, suggesting lightness, agility and speed. "It walked upright on long hind legs." the announcement states, "but the ratio of hind leg elements differ greatly from described genera, while the front legs were powerful and relatively better developed than in the great tryanno-saurus and other carnivorous and to whet their appetites for full remonetization. Inflation Ranks Reduced The silver move, on the other hand, coupled with the President's intimation that he will seek in time a stabilization of gold, will have the effect of reducing the following of the extreme inflationists and of giving pause to members of Congress. Between the, two, the administration hopes that general opinion in Congress will be patient with current fiscal experiments, attentive to current developments in the disordered world of currencies and amenable to a middle view of the whole problem. The President's general objectives are the restoration of purchasing power through the return of idle men to work, the resumption of the flow of credit and a jacking up of prices to the 1926 level.

The multifarious major devices of his general recuperation program are directed to these precise ends. 1926 Prices Not Reached Restoration of prices to the 1926 level is still to be reached, and therefore stabilization on a gold basis, even if accompanied by the rather fantastic scheme of Senator Thomas to seize about $4,000,000 in gold from Federal Reserve banks, declare a 50-cent dollar, with the Government taking the "profit," appears to be a matter for the indeterminable future. Whether the administration has arrived at the opinion that the present gold-purchase program is ineffective as a means of sustaining domestic prices, whether Professor Warren himself has arrived at this conclusion, whether the other experts regard stabilization as the most certain road toward a sustained general increase in price levels none of these is apparent at the moment, but all are being discussed here as possibilities.

Find Fossil Remains Of Miniature Monster Board Votes 3 Platoons Continued from Page 1 ture and asked where the money would come from.

Harvey's Position Borough President Harvey of Queens cast the deciding vote in the matter. He refused to commit himself Friday because he wished to know whether LaOuardia really desired the measure. Yesterday, he voted in favor after Vincent Kane, president of the Uniformed Firemen's Association, assured him that the firemen would be willing to see the system so gradually introduced that only a battalion a year would be put on the three-shift basis, if the financial condition of the city demanded it. This would make the initial cost $70,000 for the first year instead of $5,000,000. Harvey's vote provided the 11th necessary vote.

The bill, acted upon on an emrgency message from the Mayor, required a two-thirds vote. The Controller and the Borough President of Manhattan did not vote. Before the vote was taken the Mayor launched into a defence of the emergency of the measure. "All the persons who spoke against this measure yesterday," he asserted, "failed to discuss the merits of the bill. I heard lots of the financial costs, but not one word of the heroism of these men, and the constant hazard that they may never return to their families.

We are going home to spend Christmas with our families. They are going to spend Christmas in firehouses. "The board will never make an error in voting for this measure at this time when the whole country is discussing shorter hours of labor." Dinosaur of New Species Had Hooked, Saw-Edged Teeth, Hollow bones and Sciences Says He Was Fighter A monster in miniature has been discovered in Montana, where it lived 120,000,000 years ago, the American Museum of Natural History announced yesterday.
