Connecticut state department of
health Is making thyroid survey
among children. A bulletin explain
Ing the object Of the survey states
that Interest In the thyroid gland
has been intensified during recent
years by the discovery that thyroid
enlargement. sometimes called en-
aemic goitre when 1t occurs In en-
cessive degree, may be prevented by
small amounts OF Iodine, II would
seem that the thyroid requires n
minute quantity of iodine In order
to perform It's function and when
not enough iodine Is present the
gland enlarges possibly for the same
reason that the muscle OF ones arm
onlarges when greater demands are
made upon It,"
The eastern part OF the United
States Is remarkably free from en-
lareomcnt of the thyroid gland,
This is probably due to the fact
that there Is small quantity of
iodine in the water we drink. E7-
domic goitre Is rare In Connecticut
as most cities are we'll supplied with
pure drinking water. But In the
middle west especially around the
Great Lakes, and In some parts of
the far west a majority OF children
have enlargement of the thyroid
gland TO some degree. Score an
other mark for Connecticut.
In carrying out the survey rep
roscntativo group OF 500 to 1000
children will be selected In each
community for examination. These
will be taken from the seventh and
eighth grades in the schools. The
examiners will also look for infec-
tions Of the teeth, tonsils and
adenoids.
The purpse of he survey" the
state department Of health explains.
is primarily to ascertain the per-
centago Of thyroid enlargement OF
different degrees. Incidentally the
information concerning infection OF
the teeth, tonsils or adenoids will
permit Il study of thyroid enlarge
ment In relation to such local infec-
ton. BY such a study 1t Is de-
sired to obtain information as to
whether or not focal infections may
be one Of the factors causing en-
larged thyroid.
ut Is expected that the survey
will continue for some time, The
cards upon which records are made
will be sent to tbs office Of the
United States Public Health Services
for tabulation. 1t is expected that
a report Of the survey will be pub
lished in the Public Health Re-
ports"

KING DYKEMAN

1t is no longer Judge Dykeman,
The good judge closed up his work
as Judge of the Juvenile court on
Monday and assumes his duties as
publisher Of the Seattle Post In
telligenccr. On Monday the
News Record man saw him as he
was leaving the court house with
his grip, and offered congratula-
tons. The judge jolkingly re-
marked il seemed TO be a habit for
folks TO quit their political jobs
and take up newspaper work.
Seriously, we doubt if there's ar
avenue open to-day with as many
possibilities as that Of the news
paper. AS between The daily and
the small country weekly there is
no warfare. The daily reaches
more people, but the country
weekly has the advantage of alb
solute independence in its editor
ial policy. We predict that King
Dykeman viii make as great a
success as a publisher as he has as
Judge. If this prediction comes
true, neither he nor his friends will
be disappointed, for he has made
a reputation as Juvenile Judge
second to none in America.

Great puff talks are made about

HOME PRODUCTS AND
