Such a large number Of re-
quests for information on the
subject Of geiter have been re-
ceived that they can be answered
en- masse during the present
week.
Goiter is an enlargement of
the thyroid gland. This gland is
situated in the neck, closely at
tached to the trachea, or wind
pipe, and just below the larynx
or voice box containing the
vocal cords. Normally it weighs
about an ounce; it has two lobes
lying to the right and left of
the midline of the trachea, con-
nected by q narrower band, the
iSthmus; each lobe is about the
size and shape of a large Brazil
nut.
Why does it enlarge? To get
any idea Of this vexed question,
we must inquire into its use in
the body.
To learn. about the function
Of any gland we may do sew
eral things. The first thing that
suggests itself is to study it at
work. For instance, we may do
this with a muscle. If we OBJ
serve the bicepS muscle in the
arm we see that when it con-
tracts it lifts the forearm. Sec
ond, we may devise experiments
to understand its internal me-
chanism. When we do that with
a muscle we learn many things
that in contracting it uses up
oxygen, burns sugar, etc. If a
gland Is to studied, we obtain
some of its secretion, analyze its
chemistry and find out what its
actions are.
In the case Of the thyroid
many difficulties present them
selves. First, when we merely
observe the gland we see no &C
ton, no changes in it from hour
to hour. It has no duct by which
we might obtain its secretion,
as we obtain saliva from the
duct of the parotid gland. It is
one Of the ductless glands,

} witchery. If she's reduced to
meeting him away from home,
Johnny becomes a young shiek
for whom she will wait on the
corner breathlessly, with q
pounding heart.
A Nice Boy
If there is no fog raised over
him, it's probable the boy will
seem only q nice boy with
possibly a poor complexion. Or
she may wish that he didn't
shear his hair up the back of
his neck like a Japanese doll
baby, or she may not like his
tie with spots.
If she meets him outside,
Johnny becomes a thrilling ad-
venture. She has outwitted the
folks at homeland Johnny has
a motor waiting at the curb.
The job Of parenthood is not
easy these days. It means turn
ing the house inside out oc-
caSionally for q party. And yet
better the confusion, the bor-
rowing Of extra cups and Sau-
GERS, the refurbishing Of your
old black taffeta, than that your
girl should have all her parties
away from home.
You not only should know the
young men your daughter goes
around with, but you should
know the girls as well. And
don't feel because-aS you SO
often write me-"I'm too old
fashioned" or IT was born in a
foreign country and am a
stranger to American ways"
that that let's you off.
A Charming Home
One Of the most charming
homes it's my privilege to visit
is that of a Swedish family.
Though these parents were
peasants in the old country,
their sons and daughters born
over here have all had college
educations and are established
in professions. Occasionally we
foregather there for a Swedish
meal. The cooking is delicious,
some bits Of native weaving and
needlework give a delightful at
mosphere to the scrupulously
neat, plain interior-it's all de-
lightful, like taking a flying "Trip
to Sweden.
Don't bother keeping UP with
the Jones', but do keep up with
your sons and daughters.

Keep Up With Your Children

Keep Up With Your Children
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am IS and am not allowed
to keep company with boys
even at home. This summer I
met a boy of 81. He acts as
if he likes me, but hasn't told
me so yet. I used to see him
every day, but now 7 haven't
seen him for about a month. I
imagined I never cared about
him, but I have found out now
I love him. I'd like to see him
some night, alone. Shall I call
him up on the phone or drop
him a card? G. L.
This letter might well be Of
interest to parents who object
to their daughters seeing young
men properly under the parental
roof. Mothers and fathers who
forbid, find fault, and Sulk
when q young man appears,
might as well make up their
minds to the fact that, If their
daughters can't see their beaux
at home, they'll meet them out
side.
Lonely Old Age
Some girls are doomed to a
lonely old age because parents
crush their daughters spirits so
thoroughly that they haven't
any courage or mettle left-we
have all seen those silent, un-
happy creatures. But your
normal girl doesn't submit, she
has ways and means of meeting
the blank wall Of parental op-
position.
If one may put the ques-
tion, why do parents think that
the whole plan Of nature has

The Divorces Formal Name
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Having been married Is
years, and as so many people
knew me by the name Of
Brown, I retained the name Of
my eX-husband. Being a di.
vorcee, they say I am Miss
Brown. Had I taken my maiden
name 1T would have been Miss
Smith. Then why should it be
Mrs. just because I did not?
There are no children.
READER.
Unless you made special re-
quest Of the judge who granted
you your divorce, you may take
either Of the forms usually
taken by women who have di.
vorces. The form usually used,
and the one which is by far
the better, is the use of the
last name of the maiden name
as the prefix of the last name
of the married name. That is,
if Mary Brown marries, and
later divorces, John Smith, she
would take as her name Mrs.
Brown Smith. Or If she wishes.
she may take the form, Mrs.
Mary Smith. or Mrs. Mary
Brown Smith. These forms are
not as dignified as the first
form that I outlined.
The Miss is rarely resumed
in the name after a divorce
this usually indicates an annull,
ment, although sometimes, too,
the maiden name is resumed Il
the woman wishes it, and Il
she receives permission from
the judge.
The gist of the whole matter
is that the name by which you
wish to be known is for you to
decide, not for your friends to
assign to you. They have moth
ing to do with it, and Should
not even make a suggestion I'M
less you ask for it.

which pour their secretions d.
rectly into the blood stream.
We are, therefore, thrown
back in our study Of the thyroid
on four other methods. One is
to see what removal Of the gland
does to the body. One is to feed
the gland to normal people or
animals. Next is to observe what
happens when it is diseased.
Fourthly, we may analyze the
chemical nature of thyroids re-
moved from the body.
Much has been learned from
the study of babies who are
born without any thyroid gland
they are called "cretinS."
They grow very little, always re-
main dwarflike; they are stupid,
mentally idiotic; their body heat
is very low; they have thick
skin, and a gross, heavy appear
ance; their reproductive func-
tions are absent.
Feeding thyroid substance to
these people changes their
symptoms. Feeding it to ami
mails causes increase in body
heat, decrease in weight, mental
excitement and reproductive ac-
tivity.
The chemical analysis Of
thyroid substance shows that it
contains a. large amount Of
iodine.
We conclude, then, that the
secretion of the thyroid needs
iodine to be perfect, that this
secretion poured into the blood
stream has influence over
growth, body heat, mental ao-
tivity and reproductive ability.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Smart-
ness plus comfort. That's what
a fashionable fashion must have
this winter. And to make the
smart costume comfortable,
many ideas have been devised
that make the costume even
smarter than it would be with
out them!
Take that sensitive section
through the neck and throat,
for example. Keeping the neck
line warm hasn't always been
easy, especially those times when
you didn't want your coat col
lar fastened up high.
That's one of the things fash
ion has given much thought to
this season. It's smart to keep
the neckline warm this winter.
And there are many good ways
to do it.
Plaid Scarfs New
The obvious way is with a
scarf. One new way is with a
plaid scarf. For plaids are the
gay badge Of spring. And one
Of them tied snugly 4uund the
neck and tucked inside a dark
coat makes your winter outfit
look almost like a new spring
one.
We've had two types of plaid
