Road Bonding Advocated.

There is no money for the Mckay
creek project this year despite the
fact $225.0OO had been allotted for
starting operations and though the
project was authorized when the sun
dry civil bill was passed on the clos
ing day OF the last congress.
This news was made known here
last evening by f.. p Dodd in talk
at the dinner given at the Elks club to
representatives of the commercial
clubs of the county. Mr.. Dodd did not
give details at the time but expressed
deep regret over the lack of headway
on the project.
In a phone interview this morning
Project Engineer Schiliing at Hermis-
ton confirmed Mr.. Dodd's report.
Owing to financial conditions funds
anticipated by the reclamation service
have not materialized. In May the al
lotment for the Mckay project was re-
duced from $225. 900 TO $125,000 and
it now seems hopeless that even this
amount will be forthcoming. No Of
ficial word has been received by Mr..
Schilling but in letter to Mr. Dodd,
4 p. Davis, head Of the reclamation
service, says he sees no hope of funds.
AT the present rime The project en-
gineer has no instructions to do any
thing towards securing right Of way
for the reservoir site and he has no
idea when funds may he available.
However the project is approved and
it is the supposition. the work will be
carried out when money may be had.

veloped gradually. 1t is, however, con-
dition which can be remedied, but this
. would destroy his usefulness as one Of the
strange people.
In Ringing Brothers circus collection of
freaks there are the three Hohner brothers,
ages 10, II and a. collective weight about
1900 pounds. and, Miss Carrie Holt, the
ever-smiling fat LADY, These strange peo'
pie are suffering from the opposite condi-
tion-namely, hypothyroidism, or INSULT
cient thyroid secretion. The ductless
glands are interrelated in their functions
that is to say. each of the glands has
several functions and where one function
Of one gland is increased OF decreased.
the secretion of some other gland having
a similar function will be decreased or
increased.
The insufficiency of thyroid secretion
may be due to excessive secretion OF some
other gland or 1t may be due to small,
inactive thyroid The weight Of these fat
freaks, makes them inactive, and this In
activity not alone lessons waste-the
oxydation of fate which is part Of the
chemical processes of waste and repair,
is lessened. Fat persons usually have large
appetites and they have a prediction for
fatty food-butter, cream, eggs, fat ham
and the like. Those who have become so
fat that they can appear as the champion
fat man and fat woman at the circus take
good care that they will not lose weight.
They will not take thyroid or other anti-fat
remedies, they will not go on starvation
or antifat diet they will not exercise, for
pounds in fat mean dollars In salary.
On the under side of the brain is the
pituitary gland, a two-lobed gland, the
anterior lobe controlling growth. In the
neck are the two large glands, the thyroid

which controls fat growth and the thymus
which controls bone growth. After the
third or fourth year the thymus begins to
waste, and by the time Of puberty only a
little connective tissue Is left, while It's
functions are taken over by other glands,
mainly the pituitary. II there is an excess
of pituitary secretion, (hyperpituitarism)
during childhood there will be rapid in
crease in growth, the child will be large
for its age apd will grow up giant In size.
II the pituitary secretion is insufficient In
quantity during childhood, hypopituitarism,
the physician calls II, growth is retarded
and infantilism results.
That's all there is to the ''why" of the
giant and the midget; difference In the
quantity of pituitary secretion. There are
many contributing causes, nearly all deal
ing with the activities Of other glands.
The midgets are usually we'll developed,
chubby, and In proportion to their height
many are fat. These have hypopitui-
tarism and hypothyroidism. These can
be cured" in the sense that under treat
ment with pituitary gland extract they
would grow, but Just like the fat man to
whom pounds in fat mean dollars In sal
airy, lack of inches in growth means dollars
in salary. The treatment is, however, still
experimental, although II has been sue
cssful in slow-growing children. AS circus
midgets don't want to be "cured" no ex-
periments upon them have been recorded,
but It is probable that the theory which
has been verified in children will work
out with midget adults.

excess of the secretion from the anterior

secretion does not begin until after growth

, IF q person differs much from most of
us in manner, ideas or habits we call
= him peculiar" He may be interest
ing and attractive because of his peculiar
tiles of mind and temperament
But If he is very different in physical
appearance we call him freak" and, to
many freaks are repulsive.
To the medical man any abnormality Of
mind or physique is Of scientific interest
The Fat Lady" the Human Skeleton"
the Giant the Dwarf are manifesto
ttons OF some wheel in the human ma
chinery,which is out of gear. The Fat
Lady" for instance, is enormous In bulk
because she is suffering from deficiency
of thyroid secretions-under proper medi-
cal treatment she could probably be re-
duced to fairly normal weight.
And so II is with most Of the circus
freaks" which are viewed with astonish-
ment by the audience, but which science
recognizes at once as rather extreme types
of various diseases.
, To the scientist there is no such thing
as a freak OF nature" Nature makes no
mistake, performs no freakish act. There
is a natural cause for everything that is
abnormal, although II is not always pos
sible to discover that cause. Giants were
known in biblical. times. yet It is only
within the last twenty years that ra-
tional theory for their excessive growth
. was formulated and Il is less than ten
years since 1t was apparently proven that
gigantism and dwarfism were due to alb
normal activity of certain glands In the
brain called pituitary glands.
In similar way 1t was shown that the
excessive obesity of the fat woman and
the excessive leanness OF the skeleton man
we're due to abnormality in the activity OF
the thyroid gland in the front part of the
neck.
The earliest anatsmists knew about the
existence OF these and other so-called duct
less glands. The salivary glands have
ducts whicSocarry the saliva to ejmouth.
The mammary glands of the breasts have
ducts which carry the milk to the nipple.
But the tonsils, the thyroid and thymus
glands in the neck. the pituitary and the
pineal glands in the brain, the adrenals
lying on the kidneys and a few other
glands In the body have no ducts, and

crease in height, but there will be an in
creased growth of bone in some parts OF
the body generally in the head and face,
hands and feet. The disease is then called
acromegaly. Some giants are well built
and finely proportioned. but many are thin,
there being an excess Of both thyroid and
pituitary secretion.
There is a vast difference between the
dwarf and the midget. The dwarf is fairly
we'll developed and of normal size except
in the length of his extremities. The fault
with the dwarf is supposed to be a de-
ficiency of thymus secretion and conse-
quent deficiency in bone growth. The
bones continue to grow in the skull, chest
and pelvis, as these contain organs which
continue to grow, but the growth is stunt
ed in the limbs. We may ask why these
glands give excessive or insufficient secre-
tions. II is not yet positively known. 1t
is known that in some cases a parent had
some blood disease; occasionally there Is
hereditary influence. But scientists are
working on the problems of heredity and
their solution will probably clear up this
fundamental why.
The hairy man, Ringling's "Krao, the
Missing Link" the bearded lady, the wo-
man with the long hair, the man with the
long beard and similar freaks are simply
cases of hypertrichosis, or excessive hair
growth. The most remarkable example OF
this freak is Krao. She is "a Siamese wo-
man. who has an excessive growth Of hair
on head, face, arms, legs and body. But
she says most men and women OF Laos, in
Siam, are hairy, and there they probably
look upon beardless men with little hair
development upon the body and lin as
freaks or as weddings. There are mflar
hairy people In Liberia and Japan. To the
scientist there is nothing remarkable
about Krao or others Of this type Of freak.
Hair can grow anywhere on the body
except on the palms of the hand and the
soles OF the feet, and more or less growth
on some certain part of the body may be
a racial or family trait or may be due
to some local stimulant to the hair bulbs.
Excessive pituitary secretion may be re-
sponsible, as II is for Excessive growth
in other directions. In acromegaly there
IL an increased growth OF hair, tendency
to grow low on the forehead and high up
on the abdomen.
The Washington times., 1921-04-17

In Krao's case the features are aero
megalic, and IL this cause for excessive
hair growth is present 1t will readily ac-
count for the remarkable growth upon
the face, head. body and limbs on a person
who comes from a naturally hairy race.
AS with other freaks, so with the hairy
freaks; the more striking the. popularity
or abnormality the more they can command
in the exhibition field. They therefore en-
courage the excessive growth Of hair by
shaving or clipping the ends, by friction
and drug stimulation, the use of pomades
havingsn animal fat base, ETC.
The billiard ball woman who hasn't a
hair on her head is suffering from alopecia,
or badness. People get bald in certain
diseases like typhoid fever, small pox, etc,
because In the course of the disease the
blood becomes impaired and as the nutri-
tion OF the hair is carried in the blood.
when this Is impaired the hair roots do
not receive proper nutrition and the fine
muscle fbers which hold the hair an the
Scalp become weakened. The hair, conse-
quently, falls out.
In old age there is impaired nutrition of
the roots and the muscle fibers; they are
unable to keep the hair imbedded I'M the
scahp and the old man becomes bald In
the bald-headed woman the fault is appar-
emily III the skin itself. There seems to be
an absence of hair roots and consequently
no growth OF hair. This may be due 70 the
absence Of some ingredient in the pituitary
gland, since we know thatwhen this secre-
ton is increased there is an Increase in
hair growth. Thus we see that the most
usual freaks, the giants. midgets, fat men
and women. living skeletons, hairy freaks
and hairless freaks are simply individuals

ity stimulate the oxydation Of fat, and un-

II excessive fat has been consumed in food
the amount not used in ordinary activity
is stored as fat in various parts OF the
body. The thyroid has a secretion which
passed directly into the blood through the
blood vessels that pass through the gland,
and this secretion stimulates the oxyda-
tion of fat
Now, II there is more of this ,secre-
tion than is required to keep the body IA
at a normal fat standard the fat will waste
more rapidly and the body will become

to make up for the waste, and as the stom-

producing foods like meat, cheese, wheat,
etc, is lessened. But where there is only
excessive activity of the thyroid (hyperthy.

Is only an excessive waste Of fat without
any other disease symptom.

Skeleton" who is about five feet five and
weighs about seventy or seventy-fve
pounds (the less the better for exhibition
purposes) This is case Of excessive
thyroidism, the physical condition being
aggravated by active exercise which helps
to keep down weight, and by mountaineering
food. The general effect is heightened by

The floating debt of Great Britain in
the United States was reduced by near
ly $1oo.O00.OO during 1920, the De-
partment of Commerce has been noti-
fed by Consul General Skinner at Lon
don. A cable dispatch from Mr.. Skin
ner said that at the end of last Novem-
Der the British floating debt in this
country was $55.4o5.0o0. consisting of
three months treasury bill amounting
to $2S,S15.0o0 and sterling treasury
bills of twelve months. amounting to
$26. 590, 900. At the end of November,
1919. the floating debt was $150.914.000.
This is exclusive of longtime loans
obtained by Great Britain from the
American government and American
bankers.
