Young Senators Define A New Era In The Senate
A study of the fresh slate reveals most new senators are young. Kentucky’s William O Connell Bradley draws notice as a great grand nephew of Daniel O’Connell and a former Union soldier who became a lawyer at 18. Albert B Cummins and Theodore Burton are early starters, while Oregon’s George E Chamberlain rose rapidly from legislature to senate. Elihu Root remains a paced elder, as Yakima Jones and Chamberlain show the casual spark of youth. Only five of the newcomers are over 60.

Removal of Thyroid Gland To Age A Disabled Boy
Harlem hospital doctors seek to age 27 year old Harry Needleman by giving him thyroid powder from sheep after removing his thyroid as a baby. He shows cretinism symptoms and slow growth, with hopes of becoming more mature over years, while risks remain uncertain. Nearby, long unused artillery shell from Fort Mott is dug up at Hancock's Bridge, weighing 940 pounds and 31 feet long, believed loaded but unexamined.
