ion US ME SEED EOS HUME New York—Prediction that science can find a way to further extend the span of human life was made Sunday by Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, medical director of the Life Extension Institute of New York city. I He spoke at the convention of the ^American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, which Is be- i ing attendee by 5000 learned men and women from all parts of the United States. Dr. Fisk declared it was wrong for man to figure that his yflu;s tire numbered to the Biblical “’three' score and ten,” and that he should »pend his life figuring out how to enjoy himself rather than devising ways and means to live to a ripe old age. 1 The human life cycle has been greatly extended within the last J 100 years by the application of scientific principles, he pointed out.1 but there is room for even greater achievement. 100 Years Seen Coal. Living to the age of 100 years and longer for many people is not inconceivable, he indicated. “I am willing to admit,” he as serted. "that only a comparatively \ limited extension of human life— | say 10 or 15 years—can be attained ! by simple adjustment of personal hygiene and the correction of phy sical defects found on periodic health examinations. It may well be that any great extension of hu man life, say beyond 100 years, must be attained by some specific ! means, especially by control of the' endocrine glands. Nothing can hold; back human effort in that direc- j tion.” Dr. Fisk does not believe that the life cycle of Jiving organisms is fixed. He said /there is a “subcon scious conviction” that it is more or less futile Lo attempt to inter fere with the course of nature or the plans of the deity, depending on the religious and philosophical views of tne individual. “Has it been decreed somewhere, somehow, by somebody, that the tissues of the human body, or of any other living organism, shall become lifeless within a certain length of" time?” Dr. Fisk asked his audience, composed mostly of med ical scientists. “With those who hold such a view purely as a mat ter of rel>ious conviction, I have no quarrel, but as a scientific prop osition it is untenable.” Disputing the view of some medi cal men that life cycles are fixed, Dr. Fisk declared:' "If a turtle lives 150 years, a horse 37 years and a human being rarely 100 years, it . is no filial an swer to say that these varied life cycles are fixed by nature." He pointed out that it has been claimed that a shortened existence “is the price that man pays for his highly differentiated organism?’ Yet he declared, other highly dif ferentiated organisms have had much longer life cycles. Witness the turtle, the elephant and the dino saur. “I am able to say from a fairly broad experience that one of the greatest obstacles to prolonging hu man life lies in the acceptance—at least tactily and subconsciously— of the thesis that the years of man are three-score and ten,” Dr. Fisk asserted, “and that it is more im portant for man to study ways and means of having a good time dur ing that period than in attempt ing the impossible in endeavoring to work against nature, whatever that may mean, in attempting any emphatic prolongation of the hu man life cycle.” Dr. Fisk said that Dr. Charles H. Mayo, the famous surgeon of Roch ester, Minn., has stated *hat in his own experience 85 per cent of deaths are due to some form of in fection. He also stated, the speaker declared, that there are probably more forms of organisms menacing to the human race yet to be dis covered than there re now known to exist. INCOME FROM IODINE SOUGHT IN S. CAROLINA Columbia—Appointment of a committee of 13 citizens to aid in capitalizing results of iodine con tent tests on South Carolina food products was decided at a meeting called by Governor Richards, re cently.

The committee will be organized to co-operate with the general assem bly and the food analysis commis sion to *work on a means of capi talizing the state's iodine ‘resources JAIL YOUTH IN YADKIN ON MUTILATION CHARGE ; Winston-Sal"m.—Jasper Hutch- I ens, 20, is Deing held m the Yad- | kin county jail, under $5,000 bond | in connection with the alleged mu- i tilation cf John Spillman, 10, of j Yadkin county.
