The so-called ductless or endocrine
glands are more or less familiar to
people nowadays.
Sometimes they are also referred to
as the glands of internal secretion
The reason for these names is the
fact that, unlike other glands Of the
body, such as the salivary glands in
the mouth, the endocrine glands have
no ducts. That IS, their secretions are
not poured out through a canal but
they give up their chemical constitu-
ents 70 the blood or lymph as 1t passes
through their own, the glands, struc-
ture.
The thyroid is the best known Of
the glands.
It is situated in the neck, behind
and rather below the adams Apple"
The sdrenal glands are also much
discussed.
There is a tiny adrensl gland on
top of each kidney.
Then there are the pituitary and
pineal glands in the brain.
The thymus is a curious gland. At
birth it reaches from the base Of the
lungs 70 the root Of the neck but it
gradually diminishes in size as the
child grows until, at puberty, it a.
most entirely disappears.
Each Of these glands manufactures
one or more powerful chemical sun
stances -''hormOnes" they are called
which circulate in the blood stream

One Of the most difficult things
asked Of royalty is that they must
always open (out) conversation.
People are presented to them, not
they to others. Which means that the
royal person must find the first thing
u say.
This is a real art. One acquires it
by degrees.
Young people are often painfully
shy and silent because mostly they are
horribly self-conscious, always won
dering what figure they are cutting,
what people are thinking of them, If
their clothes are all right, etc, etc.
One attains to real ease of manner
only when one has learned to put self
aside in an effort 20 make the others
comfortable or happy.
1t is natural that we should be tho
center of our own world. we cannot
help that. We are obliged to live with
ourselves more closely than with any
one else. But when, for instance, We
come into a room, il VIC concentrate
our thoughts upon the others who are
present, our shyness melts away mi
raculously.
Often and often people have been
deadly shy when they came into my

 McGregor was confined to bed for nearly five months by his injuries.
