Anti-CrotUth HOrnlOne in
Parathyroid Glands.

nEFINITE evidence Of q powerful
- anti-growth hormone in the para
thyroid glands, whose chief func-
ton Is the regulation of the calcium
metabolism of the body, is presented in
the British journal of Physiology by
Dr. j. H. Thompson Of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians.
He found th.t the growth Of water
cresS was measurably retarded by plac-
ing in the solution in which 1t was
being grown extract of parathyroid
from which the calcium regulating
factor had been eliminated. The re-
tarda ton of growth was directly pro-
portionAl to the concentration of the
extract IN the solution. Similar effects
were obtained with acid-alcohol ex-
tracts of the muscles.
The anti-growth hormone presumably
acts as q brake on the pituitary gland
secretion which stimulates growth in
the body. T. r. H.

DOUBLED THIS YEAR
Frederick County Factories Report

Instances.
BY the Associated Press.
EDrnEPTNK Md

FREDERICK, Md, June 30.-Can-
ners of the Frederick County section
tallying their pack for the season just
closed, disclosed that more than double
the output of last year was prepared,
and in some instances the record OF
1925 bumper crop surpassed.
At Mount Airy the pack was in the
neighborhood of 10000 cases, more than
100000 cans. This doubled the rec
ord of 1929 when high mark of As
900 cases were canned. One Frederick
cannery packed II 1000 cases, almost
double the output of 5000 cases last
year, but not reaching the 1929 peak Of
$4,000.
Despite the large pack, the entire crop
this year was handled in less time than
heretofore.
Canning operations at Buckeystown.
Keymar. Winfield. SykeSville and
Gaithersburg also were reported large,
far surprising the pack of 1880 when
the drought cut into the crop. Quality
of the peas were reported by the can
ners as being above the average.
With the pea crop out of the way, the
canneriss prepared to pack the string
bean crop early in July and the corn
crop in August.

RICHMOND, Va, June 30.-Small
loan companies operating in Virginia,
Of which there are Al. welcome a full
investigation of the manner in which
they conduct their business, and the
profits therefro.l, the State Corpora
ton Commission was told by w. H
Cardwell and Virgil r. Goode, counsel
for the Virginia Industrial Lenders AS
ISOLATION, at the opening Of the inquiry,
which is to be made on behalf of the
State, under a joint resolution Of the
General Assembly.
Replies to the lengthy QUESTIONABLE
sent all the companies were filed with
the commission, but many were unable
to give the complete data asked cover
ing the four-year period which ended
December 81. 1880, due to lack OF time.
Hearing Is Delayed.
For this reason the commission post
poned further hearing until August 3,
at which time all the information re-
quired is expected to be plaNed before
the body.
THE investigation will disclose the
fact" stated Mr.. Cardwell in his OPEN
ing statement, that at every session
Of the General Assembly since 1924
the Virginia Industrial Lenders Asso-
citation has advocated, urged and in
sisted upon an investigation of the
facts pertaining to the small loan BUSH
ness. and that the Investigation will
disclose that the efforts to secure an
investigation were defeated until 1880
by the very individuals who have in
cessantly denounced the small loan
law on the floor Of the House Of Dele
gates"
Interest Rate LOW"
1t was stated that the small loan
law was the result Of research work
conducted by the Russell Sage Founda-
ton. and it had been found that the
rate of interest was the lowest which
would yield a legitimate profit upon
that class of loan service offered by
these companies. A higher rate, it
was declared. would force the legiti-
mate companies out Of the field. and
open the way for the return Of the
small loan shark.
The findings of the commission will
be reported to the General Assembly,
which will enact additional legislation
regulating the operation Of these COM
panies, II found necessary.
