GLANDS. A "secret operation" Is performed on Harold F. McCormlck by Dr Les-plnasse, Les-plnasse, the dean of eland transplan'- ers. The operation excites public curiosity, curios-ity, for gland transplanting is an effort ef-fort to prolong youth That Is some thing we all yearn for Lurking in the back of our brains Is the hope that gland transplanting w.'l prove successful suc-cessful so we can try It ourselves. Following the work of men like Lesplnasse, we marvel at the wonders of modern surgery. But do not expect too much. Dr. James H. Breasted, of University of Chicago, discovers In old manuscripts that transplanting of glands to stave off old age was attempted 3000 or more years ago by skilled Egyptian doctors. A lot of time has passed, but practically nothing has been accomplished.
