to your readers, assuming each to
be substantially true, as affording
us something to ponder over.
So far have read no report Of
a national uprising to combat the
practice Of handing the proceeds of
these three major agricultural crops
to officeholders and their assist
ants.
1t is also reported, on seemingly
good authority that. a large per
cent Of money raised by government
taxation goes to support the reg
ular army and navy. And I, hear Of
no national movement to curtail
that.
On the surface, and to judge the
average mind, it would seem that
since, right now, we do not need
these boys whom we lifted out Of
their homes in every neighborhood
and sent to the trenches in France,
we well can ignore them But our
ofhceholders and assistants, these
We have always with us.
And since by the nature Of things,
they must wear better clothes and
live in better houses than these
soldiers, either in France or at
home, and since it takes the en-
tire cotton, corn and wheat crops
to pay our clerks, it becomes quite
evident, since we need these bonus
boys no longer, that We should get
them as nearly of the pay roll as
possible. 1t seems fact that we
must go on supporting not only
the individuals we elect to con-.
gress, but their immediate relatives

less untitled for the active affairs

In contrast to those in whom the
action of the thymus gland per-
SiStS for an undue length of time
are those in whom the action dis
continues too soon. Such cases ap-
parently grow old a little too soon.
They are short in stature. Their
body hair develops unusually early
and is thick. The blood pressure
is usually too high. Such patients
are, moreover, precocious, easily
aroused to anger and resentful.
Although they seem far advanced
while still young, they never seem
to mature completely.
The pineal gland is a tiny CLAN
dular body in the skull, at one time
thought to be the remnant of an
extra eye. When this gland mater
ial is fed to tadpoleS, they rapidly
change their color.
One investigator found that re-
moval of the gland in animals re-
suited in rapid growth and de-
velopment of the sex organs.
Moreover, the early breaking down
of this gland is associated with great
fatigue and inability of proper ac-
tion in the muscles.
There seems to be no question
that all the glands are related and
that some of the functions of this
gland may be taken over by others
and some Of its functions modified
by others.

IRON time to time in these col
l. umns we have devoted space to
listing the glands of internal secre-
tior an6 emphasizing their impor-
tance for the health of the human
body.
The glands have been character
lied as an "interlocking director
ate," controlling most of the func-
tions of the body.
At various periods in human life,
as pointed out by DR.. Walter
Timme, they exercise specific func-
tions.
He divides the life of the human
being into three periods: The time
from birth to adolescence, from
adolescence ! to prime of life, and
from the prime of life through the
period of decay and degeneration
to death.
Roughly speaking, these three as
poets include the years from to Is,
from Is to As, and from As to 70.
The first period is that Of growth
and development of the physical
structure, and of the power of re-
producing, and the third the per-
iod of breaking down.
During the first period of growth,
the thymus gland and small gland
in the brain called the pineal gland
have special functions.

Successful Research

nR. WALTER S. Adams and DR..
- Theodore Dunham of the Mt.
Wilson observatory were able to
tackle the problem of the atmos-
pheres of the planets by using the
lOO-lnch telescope in connection
With an extremely powerful spec
troscope.
When the light of a planet is
spread out into a rainbow or spec
trum with the aid of a spectre
scope, it is found to be crossed bv
dark bands known as absorption
bands.
These are due to the fact that
the atmosphere of the planet fails
to reflect all the sunlight which
falls upon it.
With their powerful instruments.
Adams and Dunham were able to
get Spectra of such length that the
absorption bands were spread out
into component parts.
This made it possible to analyze
them and tell what gases were
causing them.

The presence of ammonia gas on

SCIENCE
Large Telescopes Greatly Aid
Astronomers in Studying
Other Planets.

A INVOLVEMENT of new big

world of astronomy, for the progress
Of that science has been such that
certain problems can be studied to-
day only with the most powerful Of
instruments.
Harvard, if we may remind you,
will have a sixty-one-inch rejecting
telescope in operation at its Oak
Ridge station near Cambridge,
Mass, within a few months.
The University of Chicago and the
University of Texas are co-operat-
ing to build an eighty-inch reflect

They hope to have it completed by
1888.
And of course, the California IN
stitute of Technology are going for
ward with their plans for a 20O-inch
telescope. twice the size of the 100
inch at Mt. Wilson, now the worlds
largest telescope.
An example of the necessity of
large telescopes is to be found in
the recent work on the atmosphere
of the planets, carried on at Mt.
Wilson.

Making a Second Guess


DEFORE the event Mark Sullivan
d said that Maine was no par
ticular barometer and that a re-
duced Republican plurality would
mean precisely nothing. But in
cautiously he added that, of course,
if the Democrats carried the state, it
really would indicate something.
Now he has taken it all back.
Sullivan's latest explanation is
that it was just a wet and dry fight
and had nothing to do with the ma
tional election. But I am afraid
that this will be rather cold comfort
to Hoover.
If the embattled vets of arid
Maine are thirsting in that manner
for the blood of an engineer, just
what is going to happen tosthe noble
experimenter in some Of the states
which do not precisely constitute a
cradle of prohibition?
And Mark Sullivan still has an
other barrel to fire. It seems that
it was all done with money. Demo-
cratic funds flowed up and down the
AndroScoggin like gin at Chicago
convention. IS
Stories about the amount of
money sent into Maine from outside
the state are told in terms of very
large figures" he explains. But even
this is not likely to be received too
gratefully in Washington.
. It is a Greek gift and the sort of
comfort which some friend might
bring to Job. If the Democrats are
not only aroused and numerous, but
also well heeled, why, then, indeed
it looks as if all things were lost
save honor.

Walks of Life. 1t Is a Posi-

.NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Governor
IN Roosevelt has spoken on pro-
hibition. farm relief, silver and the
railroads.
The radicalism which Republicans
hoped for and Democrats feared has
failed to materialize.
Those who mistook him for an
other Bryan, and mapped out a
great educational" campaign, a Ia.
1896, are in ,quandary.
Their latest charge is that he has
stolen some of President. Hoover's
thunder, which relieves the suspense
for people who were at a loss to
know what had become of it.
Governor Roosevelt got off to
troubulous start. He had to fight
every inch of the way for his nom
ination.
The Seabury investigation, and
especially the Walker case, con-
fronted him with a delicate situa-
ton.
The defeat Of former Governor AL
Smith left some very sore spots.
False moves would have been easy
under such circumstances. Many
looked for Governor Roosevelt to
make some, but the very danger of
his position seems to have taught
him caution.
Without sacrificing aggressiveness,
he has pursued a steady, methodicaI
campaign. Each step in advance
has found him a little better poised,
and little surer of his ground
than the one before.
His first speech was the poorest,
though, perhaps, the most spectac-
ular. His latest was the best.
Obviously, the man has capacity
to grow with problems and respon-
sibilities. That, more than any,
thing else, stamps him as presi-
dental timber.

Thalia FOrtescue Massie, Wife of Navy Lieut., Will Tell Jury How She Was Attacked and Assailant | SlainDOctor Says the Lieut Was Insane When He Killed Attacker of Wife
BY DAN CAMPBELL

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Courtroom. Honolulu. T. H.. April 20 - GU. P.) - Thalia For tescue Massie was called to tell to- day her own story of events lead- ing up to the death of Joe Kaha- hawai-, an alleged assailant killed by her own husband when he was insane, according to expert testi- mony offered yesterday.
 Her story was expected to prove the dramatic climax of series of sensational emotional appeals to a jury of mixed races hearing second degree murder charges against four Thomas H. Massie. Mrs Massie's mother, and two sailors.
 She was summoned as the last witness by Clarence Darrow, aged defense chief, and it was expected that her story would help free the defendants, accused of an "honor slaying' resulting from an attack on herself.
 Cross-examination of Dr Edward Huntington, Williams, second de- fense alienist, was scheduled before Darrow called Mrs Massie to corro- borate testimony of her husbands mental breakdown after she was att tackled by five native hoodlums.
 The defense's first admission that Lieutenant Massie was the actual slayer of Kahahawai-one of the alleged attackers-came with start ling suddenness from Dr Thomas J. Orbison as he gave an experts yer sion of the shooting. N
 "In my opinion" Dr Orbison said '.Massie was insane when he killed Kahahawai."
 He said it so calmly that the jury as well as the whole courtroom, failed for a moment to grasp the import of his words.
 lille wanted Kahahawai to con- fess that he attacked Mrs Massie. !" Dr Orbison continued suavely. By shooting kahahawai, Massie defeat cd his very purpose. His reasoning was distinctly imperfect"

A. O. Jones. the navy men, bowed
 his head in his arms at mention of | the attack. Mrs Fortescue, mother of the girl. gripped the side of her chair. Lieutenant Massie had testified
 he held gun ''to frighten'' Kaha- hawai- while he and Mrs Fortescue taxed the native for a confession. When the native said ives, we done 1t. !" Massie's mind became a blank and he knew nothing of what fol- lowed, he declared.
 pr Orbison settled himself in the witness chair, arranged his ear phones-he is partly deafened - and addressed the jury. "Grief and shock" induced by the attack on Mrs Massie produced insanity in Lieutenant Massie, the doctor said.
 "Such cases of insanity are not l infrequent. asked Massie why he didn't kill Kahahawai at first. He replied there were three reasons. First he was born in Kentucky and that his original training coupled
 with his service career had bred in
 him respect for law and order. Sec- ond. he said Rear Admiral Yates
 Stirling, Jr, had asked him not to
 do anything to further unsettle' the unsettled conditions in Honolu- lu after the attack, and third he
 said he merely wanted to clear his |'wife's name of ugly rumors that
 started when jury failed to con- vict Kahahawai and the others of the attack"
 Prosecutor John c. Kelley search
 ingly cross-examined Dr Orbison in an effort to draw compromise statement from him.
 Dr Williams, an expert witness in the Los Angeles trial of William
 Edward Hickman for the staying of Marion Parker and the Phoenix, Ariz, murder trial of Winnie Ruth Judd, used abstruse medical terms in testifying he agreed with Dr Or bison.
 "I should say his condition was similar to that of prize fighter out on his feet" Williams conclud- ed.
 Jones expressed vast relief when he learned Darrow would not call him as a witness. The prosecution often had intimated it's belief that Jones was being shielded by Lieu- tenant Massie. The enlisted man, 1t was testified, "stood guard" outside Mrs Fortescue's cottage during the fatal interview with Kahahawai.
