A comparison with conditions in
Washington and other cities is
difficult because of the different
phases surveyed in the various
cities. For instance, one phase is
worse in a certain city. Also the
surveys should be made during
about the same period of time or
within a year or so to be of any
real value.
Also to make a comparison would
require a knowledge of the saloons
in all the cities, as well as the
speakeasy problem and the boot
logging phase.

This gland, he explained, Celebrates
and delivers to the blood an active
substance known as thyroxoid, which
controls the rate of body metabolism,
or rate at which the body processes
take place which can be measured by
heat production. This Is normally
about 40 calories an hour per square
meter of body surface. but with persons
whose thyroid glands are disordered
it may vary from 40 per cent below
normal to 100 per cent above. Excess
sive thyroid activity, DR.. Yater ex-
planned, produces various types of

pick way, the iodine atom forms part
of the thyroxoid molecule.
In such conditions as exothalmic
goiter where the eyeballS protrude and
there sometimes is delirium and mania,
he explained, the nervous condition is
not due to the iodine deficiency alone,
but to some toxin produced in the body.
Such patients have greatly excessive
metaboliSm and find heat intolerable.

The operative procedure in such
cases was explained by DR.. Moran and

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 1.-THE
ACCESSIBILITY of conducting clinic for
mothers to broaden their vision on
problems of child health was discussed
yesterday by delegates to the National
Convention of the Associated Junior
Leagues of America.
The prime difficulty encountered by
the league in its philanthropic work

couraging parents to continue the rec
commended regimen after the patient is
dismissed from the child clinics that are
maintained in number of cities.
Several hundred members, socially
prominent in the United States, Canada
and Hawaii, are attending the sessions,

In designing the Viking, they sought distinction
along the most difficult path-the achievement Of
beauty and grace through simplicity. The result
justifies their diligence for the Viking takes
its place among the smartest of cars, regardless

In keeping with their beauty, the Viking bodies
are luxuriousy furnished. There is plenty of head
room and leg room. Seats are deep~cushioned, and
incline at just the right angle toprovide armchair
comfort. Upholsteries and appointments are rich
in quality and tasteful in design.
For the drivers comfort and convenience both

choice. All controls easy to reach and to

Because it provides, at medium price, qualities
of advanced design, beauty, luxury, performance,
and stamina heretofore found only in costly cars,
the Viking is value leader.

any medium-priced offered more completely
balanced performance brilliant styling
more luxurious comfort Never has there been
more significant event in automotive history than
the introduction of the new Viking.
Viking performance is the result of the ninety
degree, V-type principle characteristic of high
priced cars-brought to a new high stage of devel-
opment by the introduction Of new engineering
advancements based on well-established time
proven fundamentals.
This new engine delivers 81 horsepower, with
ceptional smoothness throughout its entire speed
range. Its response to the throttle is remarkable
in all gears Its top speed is more than ample for
any emergency. And it provides mighty power
reserve for steep hills, long grades, and hard
pulling.
An advancement that makes possible many of the
features of the Viking is the integral casting
of the cylinder block and crankcase in unit.
This results greater rgidity easier accessibility
anew and highly efficient valve arrangement, and
advanced cooling and fabrication.
The natural compactness of the Viking engine
the ribbng and trussing of the crankcase-the
short, rigid crankshaft, which iscounter-weighted is
for maximum balance large, oversize bearings
and special shock-absorbing rubber engine mount
ings. assures exceptional smoothness, quetness,

Another important advancement il automotive
