Charles J. Reagan and
William A. Smith today

Schriver their designations
as members of the Rock Is
land FIRE and police commits
sion. This leaves all three
board places vacant. Mayor
Schriver is still canvassing
among citizens urging them
to accept appointments on
the board.
Mr.. Reagan acted after
he had been instructed to do
50. by his associates in the To-
cal branch of the American
Federation of Labor. The
federation took occasion, in
cident to the instructions to
Mr.. Reagan, to censure The
Argus for an editorial it
printed commenting on the
appointment of Mr.. Reagan
as a member of the board.
The letter Of resignation of
Mr.. Reagan follows:
Rock Island. Oct. e.-Harry NJ
Schriycr, Mayor. Rock Island. My
dear Mr.. Mayor: It is with extreme
regret that tender to you my res
ignation - member of the police

arrived at after conference with
! my colleagues In the labor move
/ ment, upon whose decision told
Z you at the time Of my appointment
would b entirely guided.
My withdrawal from the board
should be In no way construed as
reflection upon the present ad-
( ministration, but o. q sincere de-
4 sire upon the part Of organized la
\ Dor to lend every possible assist
4 ance in an effort to clarity the at
mosphers surrounding the present
unsettled conditions In the police
department. Organized labor is ap-
preciative of the friendly coopera-
Y ton that has been rendered by the
present city officials and 1t is be-
K cause of this cooperation that we
desire to do our share in assisting
you to clear up the present situa-
ton.
An atmosphere Of suspicion has
been created in the minds Of the
public that will seriously embar-
rass any commission that is ap-
pointed In accordance with the reg
ular procedure. That 1t is my be-
lief that this suspicion, 10 unjusti-
/ ned goes without saying. Your
statement to. me Ut the time Of my
appointment that your only desire
was to have.a fair and impartial
Investigation and that all meetings
should be held in the public con-
ytnces me of your sincerity in<this
matter. But an unusual condition

THE ENDocRINE MYSTERY

The psycho-analysis craze threatens to be eclipsed by the
wave of curiosity about the endocrine glands, now sweeping
the nation. The gland specialists put it like this:
Near your windpipe is the thyroid gland. 1t works on the
principle of a gas valve. By regulating the amount of energy
produced and consumed in your body, the thyroid controls
your speed of lvng-makes the human auto a racer or a
creeper, physically, mentally and emotionally.
The adrenal glands, attached to the kidneys, are the
glands to combat. They mobilize energy Tor emergencies,
making you frightened or brave during a crisis.
The pituitary gland, located in a cave in the skull, has for
its chief function the regulation of the growth of the skeleton
and supporting tissues. Giants and dwarfs, say the scientists,
are simply individuals with er-active or sub-normal pitui-
tary secretions.
Less important endocrine glands are the pineal, thymus,
interstitial, pancreas and parathyroids.
Most mysterious parts Of the body are the glands. Doc
tors are learning about them rapidly. Tinkering with them,
hey produce astounding changes in health, emotions and in
tenect.
For instance, the type of mental deficient known as a
cretin was once supposed incurable. Now cretinism is recog-
nized as thyroid deficiency.
A cretin, fed thyroid extract from sheep, begins growing
normally and develops intelligence close to normal. If a
cretin stops his thyroid diet, mental and physical deterioration
set in almost overnight.
Or, say scientists, it is possible to take an erratic genius
and pull him down to normal by treating his glands.
Extreme CANADIANS picture the world as peopled by q
mass Of normal slaves ruled by individuals with abnormal
glands.
Some gland specialists reach Haeckels conclusion, that
the body and being are nothing but chemical machines. They
see q vast amount Of potential human thought imprisoned
IN a bottle Of iodine, the element that is the very life of the
thyroid.
conditions instead Of glandular conditions being expressions
of emotions and intellect.
In the last analysis, the controversy among ~glandsters is
whether mind controls matter or matter controls mind.

WOODROW WILSON D
TOLD OF BY HASKlN
Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, May s:-Prac-
tically everyone who comes TO
Washington, for whatever reason,
has one stock question which invari-
ably is asked, and the answer sought
with great eagerness and Interest.
What does Woodrow Wilson do
now? How does he spend his days
since his retirement from public
lifer
Questions of this sort come from
casual visitors, political friends and
foes, foreign officials. even from
Washingtonians themselves. OF this
last class. about the only incident in
Mr.. Wilson's present life of which
all are aware is his almost invaria-
BILE custom of attending a local
vaudeville theatre on Saturday night,
a custom which originated when Mr..
| Wilson occupied the White House.
Despite his enfeebled condition. the
ex-President manages to get great
enjoyment out OF entertainments of
this sort.
Since the day fourteen months ago
when his second term as president
of the United States expired. Mr..
Wilson has led a life of seclusioE.
The last part OF his career in the
White House was marked by a long
illness due to the collapse he suffer-
ed when campaigning across the
whole country in support of his
League of Nations plan. Mr.. Wilson
has never fully recovered physically.
and probably never will.
The presidents active interest in
politics necessarily has waned. He
has neither the strength nor the in
clination to keep actively in the poll

minous correspondence of a private
nature sometimes deals with present
day situations and events, IL Is said
tn show a marked preference TO,
viewing and commenting upon
events of the past. The former chief
executive seems to prefer to LOOK
backward, rather than keep a sharp
eye on today and its happenings.
Political Visitors Rare
The political friends and lieuten-
ants who surrounded Mr.. Wilson in
the days of his occupancy of the
White House rarely. If ever, gain
c to his presence now. One or
two of them have been in the habit
of seeing him. possibly at intervals
OF months. These, though. would
come under the head of personal
friends also. Joseph p. Tumulty, his
secretary for eight years, has been
more closely in touch with him than
any OF his former associates of a
political kind. and a breach between
these two has come since Mr.. Wilson
denied a statement attributed to
him by Mr.. Tumulty at the recent
New York Democratic dinner.
The two people most constantly
with the ex-president are Mrs. Will
son and her brother. John Randolph
Boiling. who acts as Nj. Wilson's
secretary. Admiral Cary T. Grayson.
