majority of cases, the glands. which are placed high in the ab- dominal cavity, near the kidneys, at first, and with development gradually descend and reach their permanent position perhaps a month before birth. When this de- velopment is retarded, the child with one or both glands still re- tained in the abdomen or in the inguinal canal is said to have cryptorchidism.
 Most of the doctors consulted about this boy have advised that an operation should be done before he is eight years old.
 This is the conventional idea of doctors, but it is now obsolete and bad advice.
 In practically every Ncase that could possibly be helped by surgery the glands will descend spontan- eously by the time the boy reaches the age of IA years, many by the 11th, 18th or 18th year. This ap- plies to unilateral cryptorchidism. There is still a reasonable doubt about the wisdom of waiting for such spontaneous cure in cases of bilateral or doube sryptorchidism though there can be no sound ob- jection to waiting until the thir- teenth year.
 Recently it has been found that a series of hypodermic injections of anterior pituitary-nke hormone, perhaps three or four a week for three or four weeks, will bring about descent and normal develop ment One observer (Aberle) who has reported favorable effects from this treatment also suggests that the child's diet should contain a liberal amount of vitamin A.

I should not have suspected A of having anything to do with such a condition.

THE MAKING OF A REAL BOY
 Recently some whoppers have appeared in the daily papers and then hashed over in the weeklies, and I suppose recondite observa- tions will echo in the monthly per- iodicals for years to come, con cerning a miracle" operation or series of operations which changed girl into a boy. Truth is that this case was just as miraculous as the stunts performed by a quack on the stage. There are enough child minded folk in this country to sup port many such institutions, and in this instance the quack who changed girl into boy probably felt he needed the advertising

 "How is she now ?" whispered Grandma, gently closing the front door and facing her son.
 Don't worry any more, Moth CT. She'll pull through. Doctor Smith brought the specialist, Dr Stark. He's a great fellow, this Stark. I want to talk to you about him after while. Take off your things: here's Mary"
 Later, when it was established that little Jane would get well, and the nerve strain over, the fam fly talked and talked, as families do in the reaction of relief.
 Among other things came up the subject of Jane's older broth CT, the family trial.
 "I don't care," said Grandma, with some spirit. T think you're both too easy with Jack. He needs a firm -hand. I'll admit he is smart and has dozen god qualities but he is headstrong and full of queer notions. It seems I'm always apologizing for him. And now since Jane's been so sick you two won't be able to deny either of them anything. I made food job of you, son, and I want you to make a good job of Jack.'

 "Mother, do you remember Molly, our old standby? She had little boy who always came along"
 "Who could forget him? Poor aI, la i,,e nYa be he didn't. He used to bring his goat and tie it back of the stable. And he was forever bandaging dogs and cats. Once he took our old sick rooster home. Should have been trying to help his poor mother instead of, fooling the way he did. That's what I'm talking about, wasting time"
 "He is Dr Stark now.'
 "Not -"
 "Yes. The kid wanted to be doctor so much, he learned to work. His history of hardship and struggle is incredible. He is only forty-one now, but2 his name is known everywhere. If Molly had had time to train him, more, I mean, than just to make him hon. est and send him off to Sunday school, the world might have lost one of it's greatest research men. The very boys who saved your cats and chickens has saved our Jane."

With Christmas fast approaching we must think of toys and games for the children. Of course. the more elaborate and tricky toys will have to be purchased at the de- partment stores and shops, but there are many simple and inter- esting kinds that can easily be made by the home craftsman by utilizing tempered pressed wood.
 This is a material that has an unusually diversified range of uses. It is extensively employed in such sturdy construction as forms for monolithic concrete buildings. Again, it is used for the interior and exterior panelling of modern homes. Although tough and dur able, the case with which it is worked and the generous widths in which it comes makes 1t highly convenient to use in making shelves, simple furniture and a wide variety of miscellaneous ar ticles.
 In addition to its simple work ability, this material is durable, moisture and pleasing in color and texture. If desired, 1t may be painted or waxed like nat ural wood. It is, in fact, entirely made of waste wood by an explod- ing, compressing, tempering pro-

ther She thinks there is plenty of time for
her to concentrate on business until the ideal
man comes along.
'But there isn't plenty of time and the ideal
man never appears in the flesh. When she
wakes up to this fact, it is too late for her to
do anything about it. Her best years have
slipped from her.
"The fact that a woman gets to know
great deal about men from daily association
with them Is supposed to be Of great advantage
to her. But the truth is that in the Office she
gets too much of line on them-their weak
nesses, their tempers their failings.
After five or six years in business she be-
comes SO sophisticated about men that no one
man can be a hero to her. And that is an
important element in the love game.
"A woman must idealize the man she loves.
and a man must get at least stimulation OF
worship and admiration from the woman he
cares about, if romance is to flourish. If he
feels that a woman sees right through him and
is aware of his shortcomings, he will in
stinctively turn to a girl who doesn't know
SO much about hinl-one who adores and wor-
ships him and who feeds his vanity by making
him feel important"
In Dr. Watson's opinion, girl is foolish to
spend her best years in an Office requiring
knowledge of business and sharpening her
brains when these things are Of little i'm
portance to her in her emotional life as a
woman.
"Her years Of blooming are very BRIEF" he
says. "She ought to be using them to make
the most of her femininity and her looks. to
comphsh her goal a woman, rather than
spend them in business Office.
"She can best do this in an atmosphere Of
leisure and serenity, where she can remain
naturally feminine. The continuous rush and
excitement of the business world, on which
man thrives, only wears her out and makes her
neurotic.
Personally, don't that the experience
she gets In a business office is valuable to her
as a wife, as SO many people seem to believe.

wants charming playmate who can refresh

wants some one who brings him gay humor,
who spoils him and pampers him and is re-

HE doesn't want a woman to discuss busi-
ness with him or to ask him questions about
his work. He doesn't care whether she's intel
hgent about it or not.
"A woman who has spent her years in o

steady, trustworthy center Of peaceful home.
She finds it too dull and monotonous after the
rush of the Office. What she wants is excite

II think that experience In the business
world makes women less altruistic and less
sympathetic. Yet these are important per-

Business" he says, mot only units a girl
for marriage but it decreases her chances for
romance When a girl has been in the business
world for a few years, it tends, with few ex-
ceptions to rob her of her feminine qualities
and to harden her.
"Outwardly she looks very pretty and FEM
inine She is attractively groomed and CLAD.
Inwardly too she is feminine in her wants and
desires A husband and marriage are still the
goal of her life.
But between this outward veneer and her
deepest impulses. she develops a stratum OF
callousness and self -sufhciency which makes it
difficult for her to yield to love. This in turn
makes it difficult for the man to be always
tender and chivalrous toward her.
The result is that she doesn't stir a man
beyond the superficial sex interest. He hasn't
the deep desire to possess her permanently. He
dosn't want to take the chance of trying to
build a home with her.
Such a girl has little chance next to one
whose natural love behavior hasn't been sub
merged by traits acquired in a competitive
masculine world, and who uses naturally all
the age-old wiles of Eve She has her man on

IA /HAT also happens to cut her chances for
wv romance is that the stimulus of the busi-
ness world inplants In her artificial ambi-
tion to make a success in her work.
