emily not only the thymus gland but
also much of the lymph gland t.ssus
Of the body WAS enlarged.
In a recent survey of our hnow.-
edge Of this gland, DR.. Edith Boy y
has indicated her belief that the
thymus gland sometimes produces
symptoms by enlargement and me-
chanical pressure. In the position in
which it lies, it may press upon i'm.
portant structures, particularly blood
vessels and the breathing tubes. IN
such eases itis possible to reduce the
sire OF the gland by exposing the
chest to the X-ray.
DR.. Boyd was unable, however, to
find that the thymus 10 nearly SO
frequently associated with sudden
death as has been believed in the
past. She has found that children
with enlarged thymus glands not in
frequently were subject to sudden
death, but this was not directly re.
lated to an enlarged thymus. j
seemed to her that the weight OF
the thymus was quite definitely cor.
related with body weight in general
including that Of the lymph glands
and other lymphoid tissue.
The secrets of the glands OF inter
nal secretion are only recently being
won from the mystery which sur
rounded them in the past. Research
to assign specific properties to ons
or the sther of them Is difficult
since all the glands seem to act As an
interlocking chain, some being able
to take up the virtues OF the others
when the latter become deficient.

Wonderland
(Springfield News

What must the impression have been on the great
mass mind of Europe as to the wonders Of this
country, when the second American Transatlantic:
flight within period of two weeks was brought to
a successful conclusion German soil? Within
the last decade so Europe has come to expect al
most anything from this somewhat vague wonder
land across the sea.
The first striking contact with modern America
came when the drums Of war were laundering an
ominous tattoo. Numbered in the hundreds CT thou
sands came the boys in khaki to espouse the allied
cause. Ships touched Europe then, but they were
seagoing boats whose giant prows cleft the waves
of the Atlantic. Freighted with human cargo they
pounded on relentessly pouring fresh young troops
into the shell-shattered ranks of England and
France. Billions of dollars followed them out of
America to finance the war;
Europe has learned of America too in more per-
sonal and happier ways. The most humble citizen in
the old world hamlet marves at the letters he gets
from friends who sailed away to try their luck in
the United States. They tell of prosperity, con-
veniences and living conditions that could scarcely
be dreamed of in Europe. The immigrant has not
come to these shores in vain. One reads almost
daily tale Of how some youth of foreign country
came here and made his in spite Of unfamil-
iarity with the environment and the people. To
the folks back home he describes veritable fairy

cied existing On this earth. He admonishes them,

Canada's Rare Clemency
(MinneapOlis JOurnaD

In the Dominion of Canada law is law and JUS
tice is justice. If citizen of the Dominion be-
comes a lawbreaker, he knows the government is
memorable, the police effective, the courts dgent,
the judges stern, the penalty on conviction COM
mensurate. and the punishment fully exacted. There
is softness in the administration Of criminal law;
it is enforced, to the letter and period
So when, in her celebration of the Diamond Ju-
bee of the Dominion, Canada chooses to mark the
accomplishment of sixty years by general act of
clemency toward her imprisoned lawbreakers, there
is real significance in the act. 1t is act of par
don in any sense, by q government so habtuated in
acts Of leniency to create an impression of pal
iaton and to engender disrespect for law by laxity
of enforcement. Confident in her might, Canada
bids all take heed of her power through her exer-
else Of the prerogative of clemency-a prerogative
that all have reason to know is not abused To all
prisoners with terms of more than six months,
slight shortening Of sentences, varying according t.
duration, is granted-an act meaningful because Of
its rarity in this nation in the north
Because of this quality of rarity, Canada's Glenn
ency ought to be more meaningful in the
United States Over here the south side of the
line that runs between two otherwise similar peo-
ples the states, in their administration of law and
especially in their punishment for crime, have no
such strong position Canadas. We do not, as
Canada does, make hard the way of the transgres-
sor Too frequently We suffer delays in court pro-
cedures; too often soften sentences in prison
practices; too commonly we facilitate renewed
crimnality by parole methods; too generally en-
courage disrespect for law by laxity. Our clem-
ency is so i'll considered common, that it is sig
nificant chiefly of flaccidty. Canada's is signfi-
ant of justice enthroned.

Scholarly gents with good intentions often get
worked up unduy over the fact that there il

be standard pronunciation for every word, and
that the dictionary should have in it only pedgreed
words
Perhaps il would be nice il every American spoke
ike every other American and every Engshman,
and then again. perhaps it wouldn't. Language has
been changing daily since language began linn
tied dictionary with constant, unchangng vocabu-
larry is an impossiblity furthermore, for radio has
added some hundreds of new words to the language
in the last few years, and aviation will d. the same

From the point of literature it is most beneficial
that there never has been and will be fixed
and universal language. The ridiculous Harvard
accent, the melodious southern accent, the broad
colloquialisms of the Hoosier, and the solid hard
cent of the west all have their place, and add to
the variety and spice of life.

How About Dempsey?

Jack Dempsey is striking example of what a
tickle public will do
It was not long ago that Dempsey was prob
ably the most disliked champion the ring has ever
SEEM They criticized him for not going to war
They criticized him for not fighting more. They
disliked his obvious attempt at dressness and his
attempt to remodel his smashed nose and cauli-
flower ears into something lit-.e more symmet.
rical.
When Dempsey met Tunney he had but very few
adherents. Most of them cheering for Tun-
ney. There delight when Dempsey was de-
feated. Tunney high.
Then dissatisfaction with Tunney began to- arise.
He was too "high hat; he put airs; he didn't
fight enough. Here were practically the same
complaints had been made against Dempsey.
But the ex-champion rising in public favor.
His decision to try comeback met with approval
and with not little sympathy. Most Of us ddn'.
think he'd win, but pulling for him. Now
he has won.
Right here is where the conflict should arise.
Which would the public rather have, crushing,
smashing fighter like Dempsey who has abandoned
all pretense of elaborateness, a man like Tur-
hey, who likes to read and fights little more
scientifically?
In all likelihood, the tide will continue to swing
toward Dempsey. That is our way, and if Demp-
sey wins he probably will descend the
ladder of public favor some man comes up.
Oasshero-worship nowadays is more analytical than
