here next month when members

Democratic members of the

The Democrats are coming back
determined to hold the appropria-

Republican members, on the
other hand, don't believe that the
Democrats can make sufficient
inroads on the huge budget to ap-

FUNCTION or GLANDS


When scientists get together,
there is always talk Of glands,
and plenty of it! From reports
and experiments one gathers that
these mysterious organs, which
secrete a substance to be carried
to other parts of the body. hold
the key to most Of the mysteries
of life and death.
DR.. George Grille, speaking at
the recent congress of the Amer
lean College of Surgeons, in San
Francisco, told the fascinating
story Of how, while hunting lions
in Africa in 1927, he stumbled
upon a means of treating cpl
lepsy, high blood pressure, dia-
betes, stomach ulcers and nerV-
Gus debility.
He was attracted by the man
ner in which a lion could spring
from absolute immobility into
lightning7swift action. He asked
himself why humans could not
do the same thing and, eventu'
ally, he set about finding out,
He dissected a lion and found
that the king of beasts possessed
a huge "adrenal sympathetic sys'
tem." That is, the lion had a
complexity Of nerves and ganglia
associated with the adrenal
glands, those two small organs
near the kidneys.
The ancients, as far back as
the great Hippocrates, had tne
idea that there were forces in the
body. apart from the brain, which
reacted to human emotions. They
believed that anger originated IN
the stomach, and it remained for
modern endocrinologists to dis
cover the reaction Of the adrenai
glands to fright, stress and anger
At such time it is the oversecre'
ton from these glands that really
makes one "sick of fright" or
sick Of anger"
RECENT DISCOVERIES
DR.. Grille, a great dabbler in
glands, earlier this year told the
Medical Society of New jersey
that an overactive adrenal gland
makes the thyroid gland overac'
tive, and vice versa, causing
among other things. diseases such
as stomach ulcers and diabetes.
"The human animal" says DR.
Grille, as was learned from his
lion, "is the only thing in creation
in which the thyroid gland is
greater than the adrenal. The
thyroid works with the brain. The
tremendous drive of sustained &C
tivity in the kinetic type of high
ly civilized people sometimes is
The Washington times., 1935-11-12
The Human Side of the News
BIZ EdlCin C.. Hill

Hbound to make the thyroid so
overactive that the whole glandu'
lar system is upset"
Another recent discovery, this
by DR.. Edward C. Kendall, of the
Mayo Clinic, is that the supra
renal cortex, one of the endocrine
glands above the kidneys, is the
salt regulator of the human body.
DR.. Kendall, like thousands of
other chemists and doctors, has
been chasing hormoneS for years.
The hormones are the chemical
substance which the glands send
into the blood stream. That from
the Suprarenal glands is known
as cortin and has been extracted
from slaughtered food animals.
In many cases it relieved Ad-
dison's disease, a fatal malady
which attacks the nerves and
ends in a death coma. The doc
tors learned that dogs could be
kept alive by cortin after their
Suprarenal glands had been re-
moved. But there were times
when cortin failed; and DR.. Ken.
dall's new discovery is believed
to hold the reason for these fail
ureS.
Secrets Hidden
The salt had gone out with
the suprarenal glands. DR.. Ken
dali has kept dogs alive and well
with teaspoon of salt and a
little bicarbonate of soda. AS with
everything else, too much gland
secretion is as bad as too little.
The king of all glands is the
pituitary, which lies on the floor
of the brain and which appears
to control the other glands in
the body. The pituitary has lot
to do with growth. A giant has
an overactive pituitary, while that
of a dwarf is inactive.
The fatigue, lack Of power Of
concentration and irrltaolllty
which come to most humans as
they pass middle age is due
either to deficient or excessive
thyroid secretion. The first i'm
portant chemical compound OBJ
tanned from the glands was
adrenalin, which, discovered back
around 1900, was a great boon
to surgery in that it prevented
bleeding. The layman probably
knows it better as the drug which
at times can revive a llteless
heart.
Gland transplanting, especially
those of animals into humans, be-
came quite a fad in Europe just
after the war, and developed into
quite a racket for quacks. There
| is no need of transplanting glands
when the glandular extract can
be injected by a needle. And
neither the glands nor the extract
can accomplish their purpose un'
less the body is responsive.
These glandular extracts are
the high explosives of medicine
and something for only the ex-
pert to monkey with. In the
glands, doctors are convinced, are
to be found the secret of most OF
our bodily scourges. even to can.
Ger. But in knowledge OF them,
science has not yet gotten beyond
the kindergarten.

An Excellent Start
BY James T. Williams, Jr.

Every State in the Union will
ultimately benefit by the blow
which the people of the Empire
State and its metropolis struck
on election day against the ex'
cesses of county government.
BY an overwhelming majority
the people Of the city and the
State Of New York voted man.
date to their public servants to
reform by reducing and reorgan-
izing the county system Of gov
eminent which has come down
from the days of the ox-cart.
1t is estimated that the car
rying out Of this mandate will
ultimately save from seven to 10
millions of dollars to the taxpay-
ers Of New York city and that
similar savings will be made
throughout the State.
The interesting thing about
this latest triumph Of the plain
people over their spendthrift
politicians is that the latter
seem never to believe that the
people will ultimately rebel
against the greed of government
"of pork barrel politicians, by
pork barrel politicians for pork
barrel politicians"
To these political parasites the
people appear to be a lot of sim
pletons willing and waiting to be
fleeced by the tax collectors.
WASTEFUL SYSTEM
The revolt which has upset the
ox.cart in New York needs only
vigorous leadership to spread to
other States.
What has been done in New
York ought to be done in every
State in the Union. And it must
be done throughout the Union II
the people are to save such vital
public services as public educa-
ton, public health. public order
and the administration Of justice
from being robbed to pay the up
keep of an outworn and waSteful
system of county and local govern
ment.
There are more than 5000
counties in the 48 States. The
number of these can be, with ad'
vantage to the people, drastically
reduced.
The standard of county admin
istration can be raised and its
cost cut in two by consolidation
of functions and elimination OF
useless officials.
There is nothing sacrosanct
about county government. A
county is not a sovereignty, it is
only a political subdivision OF a
State.
The courts all over the country
have held that State may have
as many or as few counties as the
government of the State believes
will contribute to better admins
tration.
The Supreme Court Of the State
of Washington has declared that
"as local subdivisions of the State.
counties are created by the SOW
ereign power of the State of its
own sovereign will. without any
particular solicitation. consent, or
concurrent action by the people
who inhabit them. They are
created by the State under its
sovereign and paramount author.
