Boy Giant Ordered to
Take Gland Treatment

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, April g.
Adolphe Roome, IA, weighing 235
pounds and still growing, was
under court order today to obey
his father and take the medicine
prescribed to halt his unusual
development.
Judge Lester Roth Of superior
court signed the order after
testimony had shown that science
could prevent overdevelopment of
the body, and that the boys
father, DR.. Adolphe E. Roome ST.,
was willing to prescribe injections
Of pituitrim TO stop his growth.
Mrs. Helen Roome, the boys
mother, who is divorced from DR..
Roome, did not object to the
pituitrin treatment for her son
but did not wish to force him to
take it if it was against his will.
Partial atrophy OF the posterior
section Of the pituitary glands
was responsible for Adolphe's
condition, DR.. Roome testified.
Within three years, it was
shown, Adolphe has grown ten
inches in height and gained
ninety-two pounds in weight.
Judge Roth said he could not
compel the boy to take treatments
but added that conservative medi-
cal opinion held no permanent
harm could result from pituitrin
injections.

Smart Kids

NEW YORK, April 3.-Proud

say have something to learn
from DR.. Joseph Miller.
DR.. Miller, who has just
completed a survey of school

finds the bright" child is only
glib" and is not of any higher
intelligence than less talk2-

Tests given both groups
showed, DR.. Miller said, that
about half of the so-called
bright children were "just good
takers" and that the so-called
dull ones often showed excep-
tional intelligence when their
natural ShynesS or reticence
was cast aside.
