HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

THE OHIO 6-year-old boy
who has to shave every day, and
has a deep bass voice on &C
count of his pineal gland, Is not
the only victim of ductleSS
glands by any means. There is
another boy in Illinois, II years
old, who weighs $50 pounds.
He is feet 1912 inches in
height and wears size 25AA
shoes.
He is more of a problem to
his parents than the Ohio
pineal boy. His shoes cost $50
pair. Everything he wears
must be made to order. His
socks cost $3.50 a pair. And he
grows so fast that he has often
outgrown an article of wearing
sapparel by the time it has been
completed.
His Glands Changed
The young Illinois giant has
a change in the pituitary gland,
probably an increase in it's nor
NAL secretion. One of the GER
tain functions of the ductleSS
glands is to control growth and
weight. And much of this con-
troll resides in the pituitary
gland alone. 1t is located in
the skull and hangs from the
base of the brain, fitting into a
little bony cleft in the skull just
behind the internal nose.
What causes this gland TO in
crease or change its secretion
is not known. Sometimes in
cases of giantism there is a
tumor, or growth, in the gland,
but this is not always true.
Surgical removal of the gland
is possible in some cases, the
surgeon going through the nose
tc gain access to the gland.
When no turnor is present
it is often said the condition is
cue to a congenital anomaly.
It does not seem to be heredi-
tary. The young Illinois giant
we described has normal-sized
parents and brothers and sis
tiers.
A Tough Spot
The advantage of being
standardiZe in size is we'll il
lustrated by the difficulties of
this lad. If he wants to drive
an automobile he will have to
have one especially constructed
for him because he can not get
his knees under the wheel of
any standard make of car
There is no week-ending with
friends in prospect for him be-
cause no one has a bed that
will fit him. A golf playing
pituitary giant in Texas has to
have all his clubs made eSpe-
cially for him; they are nearly
five feet long. These people
cannot go to the talkies or the
ater unless they stand up all
through the performance. and
if they do, the show stops and
everybody looks at them.
It certainly is convenient to
be the right size.

Jenny's kind of opposition to
the invasion of Gerkes had
been tinctured with the wisdom
of a certain restraint. Here
was one of the times it was
not good to oppose Rarick.
She had missed this scent a
few times, once in particular
over an apparently trivial mat
ter that had to do with Avery
and a weekend stag party of
II school companions which
she planned for him on board
q motor yacht which she was
maneuvering for his father to
give, him on his fifteenth birth
day.
The idea of Avery on his own
private yacht, lording it as host
over II youngsters to whom
q yacht was that days toy, was
rolling to Rarick. There had
been a similar scene, not two
months before, over a cigar
chapel roadster for Avery; but
then there had been high, bit
ter, even more terrible words,
and Rarick's foot had come
down with an emphasis that
Jenny somehow knew better
than to further oppose. and
Avery had not even been al

weeks the May, 1882, position
crossed the 11-Cent mark, reach

MILEAGE
SETS RECORD
IN APRIL
Air Mail and Express Heavier
Than in April, 1880, Though
Passenger Count Is Lower

American air lines flew more
miles during April than in any
previous month in the history of
air transportation, according to
the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce of America, Inc. The
total mileage flown in April by
the 36 transport companies re-
porting was 3,412,594.
This figure tops the previous
peak of 3,098,570 miles, estab-
liShed in July, 1880, by 314,024
miles, and the April, 1880, mile
age by 1,179,560 miles.
Big Airmail Gain
Air mail and express poundage
carried in April, this year, showed
decided increase over that
handled by the transport lines in
the same month last year Air
mail reached a total of 795,539
pounds this year as compared to
706,375 last, increase of 1875 per
cent, while express poundage
jumped from 26,814 to 59,165, an
increase of more than 100 per
cent.
The volume of passenger traffic
handled by the major air lines
also showed an increase in April
this year over the same period
in 1880.
Only two lines operating planes
over comparatively short dis
tances reported a decrease in the
number of passengers carried,
which had the effect of reducing
the total.
32,O79 Passengers
There were 32,O79 passengers
transported in April, this year, as
contrasted with 1880 in the
corresponding month of 1880, a
drop of 1877.
Passenger traffic each month
of the current year, however, has
shown an increase. There were
4,207 more persons transported
in April than in March, a 1877
rise.
At the same time, all increase
Of 1,596,417 in the number of
passenger miles was recorded in
April as compared to March.
Miles flown during the first
four months of this year totaled

7,277,673 miles up to May l.. 1880.
