Science has recently achieved some
wonderful results along the line of
growth control. And it is on the
verge Of further important discov-
cries.
Nothing could be more amazing
than the cases of the two Espen-
Anna May. 10 years 6 months old,
and Bertha, o years months.
Just twelve months ago they were
babes in arms. Anna May was al
most the exact height and weight Of
13-month-old baby Of a neighbor
across the street. while Bertha was
even smaller.
Today Anna May is as large as a
normal 55-year- old child and Bertha
as a 4-year-old.
They were not drawfs. They were
classedr as cretins. From infancy
they had failed to grow, either ply
! sically or mentally. The medical
profession studied them frequently,
but failed to find the secret.
In September. 1920, the two
babies" were brought to the State
Bureau of Juvenile Research and
placed under observation by DR.. H.
n. Goddard. head of the institution.
Goddard is not a physician. but he
is recognized as one Of the worlds
greatest psychologists.
Goddard soon announced that the
children had no thyroid glandsl"
The question came from all quar-
ters: What have thyroid glands to
do with it?"
The thyroid" said Goddard, us a
gland in the neck. For a long time
t. has been known to have a distinct
effect upon Growth and it has been
known that cretinism Failure tc

absence or disease of this gland"

Lawrence and Wilma Steck and their associate play CTS open their second week at the Elks theater today in another New York triumph, Friendly Enemies" Mr. Lawrence announces that he has a splendid cast for the production and that the play will be a sensation.
 Friendly Enemies" is not a war ping, v1rtle, American comedy drama in which the comedy predominates. It ran for nearly two years in New York with Louis Mann and Sam Bernard. and is now on tour in the larger cities with the same cast playing to the $250 and $500 scale of prices.
 The play is so new that it was re- leased for stock less than a month ago, and Phoenix is among the first cities in America to secure it for a stock company. This is following out the policy of the new company to give only the latest and best productions. Fol lowing Friendly Enemies comes Peggy Behave" then Civilian Clothes.' and next Wedding Bells, '' every one of them late Broadway sue cesses.
 The play opening today will be given a complete and elaborate production and dressed and costumed to the last detail. Wilma Steck has another role exactly suited to her; Del S. Lawrence and L.

Clothes the drama by Avery Hop wood and Charming Pollock, made an interesting and successful play when produced on the stage. Now it is on the screen. And it makes an incom parably better picture.
 The screen drama was seen yester day at the Mauk's Columbia theater, with an all-star cast, including Olive Tell, Crauford Kent, Cyril Chadwick, Frank Currier, Zeffie Tellbury, Rae Allen and Mary Beaton. It is a Metro supervision of Maxwell Karger, Metro s director-generaI.
 Miss Tell appears as Olivia Sher- wood, a pleasure loving, capricious, reckless young woman who has known nothing but wealth, and who is not even permitted to know that she has been left with only s2,000 a year nothing at all in Olivia's world-until the man who has been advancing her money tells her the money was not left her by her father, but that he had been giving it to her, intending to buy" her. His disclosure precipitates a dramatic disaster.
 Crauford Kent plays Richard Bur bank, the man she loves, with gen tlemanly distinction and conviction. lawyer who tries to take advantage of Olivia. gives a splendid performance, his drunken fall downstairs at a dra- matic moment sending thrill through ! the audience. Others in the excep- | tional cast are Frank CurrIer, Rae Allen, Zeffie Tillbury and Mary Bea- 1 ton.

 Reed also knew his characters. His creating of Lem Jucklins, the daddy of the girl in the story, was master gem of modern fiction He was religious, but he had one hobby He loved and reared game cocks. He loved the fight ing spirit of the birds because they answered the call under his homely shirt of a heart that was as brave as lions.
