ond husband, Curzon of Kedleston, the
former Mrs. Duggan was received with
out question into the ranks of the British
nobility, and her social conquests have
been many. As Curzon's widow, she has
continued to take lively interest in the
goings on in society, and it was an open
secret that she planned series of heart
warming triumphs for her daughter.
That is not to be wondered at. No girl
in English society has been more popu-
lar and none was better placed to attract
young men of blue blood and title.
Having resigned herself to the in
evitable, the Warehouses is likely to 60

her welcome of young Mr.. Rice, out

It is not likely, for instance, that Mar
cella's husband will be snubbed by her
mothers camp followers, or that she and
her barrister will have to live on love in
a cottage until the world beats a path
to his office door and he begins to col
lect real fees.
Much more likely that they will be set
up in a comfortable establishment some
where in London, and that the barrister
will, whether he likes it or no, be COM
PEELED to accept financial aid from his
mother-in-law and part of his fance's
fortune until he gets a start
Miss Duggan had scarcely made her
curtsy before King George and Queen
Mary, following her debut, when she
was acclaimed most desirable addition
to the ranks of the debbies, and was in
vited everywhere.
Being the daughter of her mother,
and the stepdaughter of Curzon Of
Kedleston, she seemed for time in a
fair way to realize the ambitions of the
Warehouses, who undoubtedly wished

Leeds. England, Sept. 1 P,-- The

descended from an ape-like being,
as advanced by Darwin, has cham

British scientist. He stated his con-
clusion that Darwin was right, be
fore a distinguished gathering of
scientists, inventors and scholars, in
inaugurating the ninety sixth an
nual session of the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
here last night.
Not only was he giving his own
views, he remarked, but those Of a
jury "empanelled from men who

whereby scientists had traced the

AVIATION MAKES
new STRIDES HERE
America Now Only Country With
Complete Air Express

New York, Sept. l R>-Commer-
cial aviation IN America advanced
Two great strides today, strides which
many airmen believed placed it in
the forefront OF all the nations OF
the world.
For today marked the end Of
government operation of the air mail
and also the Inauguration OF a coun-
Try wide system of air express, the
express shipments and the mail to
lac carried in the same planes OF four
privately owned airplane companies.
Beginning today urgent express
packages may be sent from coast to
coast in 80 hours and from Chicago
TO Dallas in less than l.. Besides
the main trunk air line from Now
York 10 San Francisco there viii be
a daily plane from Boston through
New York TO Chicago and so TO Dali
las and a return plane over the
same route, and a connecting line
at Salt Lake plying between that
city and Los Angeles, making con-
nections with planes of the trunk
line.
The air express will be carried in
the same planes which carry the
mail under contracts between the
government and the Colonial Air
Transport, the National Air Trans
port, the Boeing Air Transport and
the Western Air Express.
Because the headquarters OF the
American Railway Express company
is in New York, the principal cerc-
mony attending inauguration was
scheduled for Hadley field, where
the starting time Of the first express
plane was lis p. M, +. d.
This was done in part to permit
the presence at the ceremonies,
without too great loss of time from

Cowe, president of the Express COM
pany, who dreamed a dream of air
express many years ago and who
was anxious to see his dream come
true today.
The ceremonies at Hadley field
were of a double nature marking

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

by LIE - AZ LIZ 1ASeU
VoU have hidden away in your
= body q lot Of little structures,
called glands, by whose authority
you exist and have your being. and
by whose power you have your
strength, courage and efficiency.
A few of them, four, are hidden
in the fat Of your neck. Two others
are hidden deep in your loins, adj
jacent to your kidneys. They are
the adrenals. Another Is hidden
away in your skull, at the base Of
your brain. 1t Is called the pitui-
tary. These glands, all Of them,
are vital organs, which means they
are essential to your life. In adj
dition to these are to be considered
the sex glands, the testes in the
male. the ovaries in the female.
These are in no sense vital organs.
You can live without them and
many people do. But in all prop
erly constituted people they are
conducive to the harmony Of the
bodily functions and, therefore, es.
sential to the fullness Of health.
All Of these glands that I have
mentioned are called endocrine
glands, or glands Of internal Sc
erection.
The thyroids have become mat.
ter Of common knowledge.
The parathyroid, q tiny gland
situated near the thyroid, controls
the action Of the whole nervous
system. An animal from which

WILSON'S. Some tumors OF the
thyroid press upon the parathy-
roid and obstruct its action, and
the patient then suffers from
tremors. because the harmony OF
the whole nervous function Is In
termittently broken. The cause OF
infantile tetany, a dreadful con-
vuisive disease, Is often caused by
defective development Of the para
thyroids.
The other most important func.
ton of the parathyroid Is to en-
able the body to use the lime
which enters the digestive system
in milk. cheese and so on, and
which Is necessary for building
bone, nail, teeth and flesh. Suffer
ers from tuberculosis and varieose
ulcers need lime badly. But, In
presence OF defective parathyrDids.

In their diet, for they are incap-

If. however, they are given par
athyroid gland with their lime,
they can use it, and often get,
well. BY this quality Of enabling
the blood to absorb lime, the para.
thyroid plays a great part In
keeping the body immune from
infectious disease, for the power
OF blood to kill microbes largely
depends on it's containing enough
