Gland SecretiOns Affect Hair Growth

In a recent review of the subject,
DR.. lola K. Cooper points out that
in disorders of the suprarenal
glands, the small organs above the
kidney, which apparently have sew
eral different types of secretion,
various changes may occur in the
distribution of hair over the body,
associated also with a tendency to-
ward masculinity or femininity in
either males or females, with some
extremely surprising results.
1t long has been known that the
glands act as an interlocking chain,
the secretion of one gland affecting
that of another. Overgrowth Of hair
is found in overfunction of several
different glands, and the lack OF
hair found in underfunction OF the
same glands.
The SUBJECT just has begun to be
studied, and undoubtedly adequate
explanations for superduous hair
and for lack of hair will be found
in the majority Of cases when more
evidence has been accumulated.

A Good place to Start

Among other charges made by Attorney
General Ogden when telling the lawyers Vi
the state of deplorable conditions at LaIay-
otto was that there was "a line Of crooked
ness" running through the prohlpltion anu
law enforcement agencies in northern III
diana. 49,,
That might be fine place to start any
oficial action which the attorney-generai
may think should follow.
The prohibition and law enforcement
aooncies in the northern part OF the staCe
arc under the political cJntrOl of the leaders
of the party to which MI. Ogden belongs
It has been an open secret that the JOBS ~
those danartments. from the highest 10 the
Lowest have been considered political patron
oo,o 70 no used in furtntr1ng senatorial am
billions and power.
IF there is crookedness, it is because the
,,ol;+;caI mowers selected crooks to enforce
the laws. have given jobs to the pollticaliy
nowerfu and the morally weak nave naiiieu
mon who were thinking of partisan victories
or personal gain instead of their oaths OF OIL
fee.
Certain it is that conditions IN no county
could become quite as openly corrupt as tne
ones described by Ogden without certain
on,o,nt Of blindness on the part of federal
officials. ~.
The record of the federal courts IN nortn-
ern Indiana in the matter of Furnishing cleo
tion frauds is not such as to create any great
amount Of confidence in its efficiency. 1t may
no remembered that nearly two years ago
charges were made that voters were import
cd from Chicago to change the results VI
elections in Lake county and the state.
One of those named in such charges was
= certain Fred Burke. Since that time burke
narticipated in the St. Valentines day mas
sacre in Chicago, shot policeman IN Mich
loan and is now suspected of killing Uni
cago reporter.
Il NAV also be remembered that finally
7 o,e county has convicted several persons
fo,. lamentations of voters for the last prl-
mary. but the federal courts caught none OIL
those who used the same practices when led
cral officials were elected.
MIR. Ogden can perform very notable
service if he very promptly exhibits the hhe
IF crookedness" in federal circles. There
shouId be some agencies for law and order
which can command respect. When confidence
: lost in the federal government, anything
can happen.

SCIENCE
by DAVID DIEIZ
Earth Would Be a Frozen
Globe, Wandering in Sea
of Darkness, We're 1T Not
for the Sun.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Modern civilization depends
IVl upon the sun. That is fact
that We often lose sight OF.
Every one realizes, of course, that
life itself depends upon the sun.
For without the sun our earth
would have neither heat nor light.
1t would be a frozen globe wander
ing in sea of darkness.
Our food supply likewise depends
upon the sun, for without the sun
plants would not grow. Plants build
up the sugars and starches of their
tissues out of the carbon dioxide Of
the air and the water Of the soil.
The energy for this manufactur-
ing process IS furnished by the SUM-
light. The process is known as pho
tosynthesis.
But in addition, the aspects of
present-day life which we group
under the heading of modern civil
lization, are in particular the re-
suit of solar activity.
Modern civilization is built upon
the availability of power. 1t is
sometimes called a machine civili-
cation. But a machine civilization
is a power civilization, since it takes
power to make the machines go.
Back of our electric lights, our
electric street cars, our electric 10
comotives, our electric elevators and
our countless electric machines is
the power house." where the whir-
ring turbines generate the electricity
with the aid of coal, oil, or water
power,

Wall Street

TT still is easy to disqualify a can
l. didate by shouting from the
stump that he is a minion of Wall
Street. Much energy is spent by
congressman in denouncing plagu-
ing and making faces at Wall
Street.
The delusion still persists that
the stock market is a sort of gam
bling den run for the pleasure of
rich men and having no connection
with the vital commercial life of the
United States.
This notion should be doomed to
extinction. There has been album
dant proof to the contrary. BY now
we ought to know that sick stock
market means a sick America and
vice versa.
The question of whether stock
market Slunps follow or create
trade crises is as academic as a
chicken and an egg discussion. All
we need to know is that they are
coincidental.
There may have been a time
when the unscrambling process was
still possible. 1t seems to me that
we have gone far beyond that time.
Whether we like it or not, we must
live by, and with big business.
1t is possible, and I think desir-
able, that big business shall pass
increasingly under the control and
then the ownership of the federal
government.
And if Utopia, or anything like il,
lies in that direction, its coming
only can be fastened and expedited
by the encouragement of combina-
tionS and mergers.

Eureka is a Greek word meaning

to Archimedes, when he discovered
a method of finding the amount of

probably George Washington would
be the nearest approach, for Wash
ington was one of the richest men
in the community. But that was
long before the development OF an
industrialized America.
Hoover, of course, is a wealthy
man and served large interests be-
fore he came into public life, but he
never rated among the great bust
ness executives.
His predecessors had no claim to
business acumen. Harding was a
country editor and Coolidge small
town lawyer.
1t is true that America prospered
exceedingly during the Coolidge era
and there was disposition upon
the part of Republican orators to
pretend that he actually had
brought these boom times through
his shrewd Judgment.
Coolidge has achieved this
through overt acts. They liked him
for what he did not do. He was OF
the non-meddling type.
Instead of being elevated to a
desk in some inner sanctum of a
huge corporation Coolidge has found
for himself job as a newspaper
columnist.
That is good business and under
the Presidents syndicate ar
rangement undoubtedly profitable.

Coal

~OAL, oil, and water power, the
~ three sources of power today,
are all the contribution of the sun.
Photosynthesis, the process by
which we get our food at present,
is the process which built up our
coal supplies.
Some one once said that coal was
fossil sunlight - Cnat when we
burned coal we were releasing the
sunbeams that fell upon the earth
millions of years ago.
Millions of years ago luxurious
vegetation grew in certain areas of
the earth'S surface. There were
gigantic ferns, tall as trees, and
similar plants. These plants grew
in Swampy areas.
Their growth, it must be remem-
bered, was due to the sun. These
plants, like the plants of today, built
up their tissues out of the carbon
dioxide of the air and the water of
the soil with the energy of sun
light.
In time, the swampS in which
these plants grew began to fill up
with decaying vegetation. In time,
this decaying, chiefly through the
action of certain types of bacteria
living in it, turned to peat.
Incidentally, there are many peat
boys to be found in the world to-
day and also many swampS in which
the formation of peat is going on.
Then with the passage of more
centuries, the peat was buried under
layers of sand and clay.
Gradually other changes took
place in the peat. The percentage
of hydrogen and oxygen in the peat
was decreased, bringing about
corresponding increase in the per-
centage of carbon. Thus in time,
the peat was changed into coal.

Every so often, Communists stage

~ beginning with IT, process of
photosynthesis.
At one time many scientists be-
lieved that mineral oil or petroleum
had an inorganic origin. This theory
held that during the formation of
the earth'S surface rocks, hydrogen
and carbon were brought together
into various combinations under
great pressure and heat and forced
into various combinations.
Petroleum is essentially hydrogen
and carbon, what the chemist calls a
hydrocarbon.
But today more scientists are in
clined to accept what is known as
the organic theory of the origin of
petroleum.
This theory holds that the Pc
troleum in the earth is the result of
chemical changes in the remains of
plant and animal life which in
habited the earth millions of years
ago.
According to this theory, petro-
leum was formed chiefly from min
ute plants and animals which lived
in SwampS and the sea-bottom muds.
Oils, therefore, started with plant
growth which depended on photo
SyntheSiS.
That water power depends upon
the sun is obvious, for water power
depends upon the weather cycle.
The water of rivers comes from
creeks which il turn depend largely
on the run-off of rains for their
supply.
We do not completely understand
all the details of the weather. But
it is obvious that - has its begin
ningS in the heating effect of the
sun on the earth's atmosphere.
The great air currents which are
at the bottom of weather phe-
nomena are started in this way.

attendants officially we're murdered
in a house at Ekaterinburg, where
they we're held prisoners following
the revolution.
The first thought of executing the
Romanoffs came when it was ru-
mored that the monarchist groups
we're plotting to release them.
With the growing anger OF SOL
diers and sailors and workers to-
ward the royal family. it was de-
cided to dispose of them at once.
The execution is described as fol-
lows by w. Duranty: THE Ro-
manoff family we're informed that
they must move from the upper to
the lower floor. All of them, the
ex-Czar Nicholas Alexandrovich, his
wife Alexandra Fedoroyna. his son
Alexei, daughters, Family Physician
Botkin, the heirs, male nurse and
the governess Of the princesses went
downstairs where they were di-
rected to stand against the wall.
Then the house commandant,

tence, adding that their hopes Of
liberation we've futile; all must die.
The unexpected news shocked the
doomed ones, and only the ex-czar
spoke, asking: Then we won't be
taken anywhere?"
Revolver shots put an end to the
doomed ones. Only four persons
were present who carried out the
execution. About 1 a. m. the bodies
were taken out to the forest /.
where they we're burned the next
day.

ID ECENT investigations have re-
N vealed the intimate relation
ship between the functioning Of the
glands of the body and the hair.
1t has become apparent in the
last twenty years that the skin and
hair are influenced particularly by
glandular secretions. Disturbances
of the growth of the hair have been
noted in both oversecretion and
undersecretion of the thyroid gland.
In cases in which the secretion
is less than it should be, the hair
is thin, dry and lusterless and may
be prematurely gray.
If such cases are given proper
dosages of thyroid extract, the hair
and the skin usually improve.
In cases in which the secretion
of the thyroid gland is too great,
there are, in addition to the usual
symptoms, in many instances thin
ming of the hair over the scalp and
sometimes complete badness.

lecturer on psychology and the
functioning of the human mind,
he wants his brain removed from
his body and delivered to the
Medical School of the George

DR.. Macdonald, now Of middle
age and residing in the 800 block

known on Capitol Hill for many
years and has attended various
congressional hearings when scien-

It was disclosed today that DR..
Macdonald has sent check to

tions that when he dies the fund
is to be used by the pathological
branch of George Washington
University for the removal and
study of his brain.
He specifies that DR.. Oscar B.
