know that absence Of the thyroid
gland at birth (cretinism) results
in a dwarfed individual with GER
tain characteristic aspects of the
face, the skin, the contour Of the
abdomen, and the mentality. Moth.
ing else produces just this combs
nation-just this type of dwarf.
So the diagnosis is made on APP
pearance alone in most cases.
When the diagnostician sees a
heavy dwarfed body with stupid
countenance, protuberant abdo-
men and imbecile mentality, he
catalogues it as cretinism, because
nothing else produces just that
combination of characters.
DR.. William Osler once asked
student how he was able to name
the disease patient had. "Saw it
BEFORE" was the answer, and that
goes for conclusions of just this
sort.
But there are a great many
ways to check up accurately on
the functions of the ductless
glands. It was said above that
they influenced development. This
means principally bony develop
rnent. The bones condition growth.
They grow in a soft condition for
a while, then they ossify-bony
substance is laid down. These CEN
tiers Of Justification occur at def
mite ages. They are delayed In
thyroid and pituitary disease, and
this can be seen in an X-ray Of the
wrist which has become regular
part of a complete endocrine dag
nostic examination.
Another checkup depends on the
fact that the proportions of the
body are normally quite regular.
In an adult the span-the distance
from the end of one middle finger
tip. to the other with the arms and
hands extended-is about an inch
longer than the height. The length
Of the upper part of the body
(from the pelvis to the top of the
head) is almost the same as the
length Of the lower part Of the
body-that is to say, the length OF
the legs is about equal to the
length of the rest of the body.
With these and other measure
ment tests, the. endocrine dag
noSiS is checked.

80 she will be an arresting per
son.
Her charm is something deeper
than youthful skin and a pretty
face.
I have not seen Wallis since
shortly after she married Mr..
Simpson in 1923. Then she
seemed to me to have melloWed,
improved with the years as few
women can. She had travelled
widely, knew Washington's army
and diplomatic crowd. She was
even more attractive then than
as a young girl.
Wallis went to school at Nine.
LIE Fevre's fashionable finishing
school in Baltimore. Like my
self, she had tutor for the early
years.
I remember how jealous the
other girls used to be because
languages came so easily for
Wallis. Even as a girl she spoke
French beautifully. AS you know
she learned German later.

days should tell it. It is the honest
and fair thing to do.
am qualified to tell that story
because I went to school with
Wallis Warfield in Baltimore. I
have known her ever since I can
remember. We went to the same
children's parties. We rode to-
Sether in the country.
I knew Wallis mother, Mrs.
Bessie Montague Warfield Rasin;
her uncle, Maj. Gen. George Bar
nett of the U. S. Marine Corps:
and her aunt, Mrs. Barnett. I
knew her lovely aunt, Mrs. Buch-
anan Montague Merryman, a So
cial leader of Washington, D. c.,
whom everybody called Mrs. Buck
Merryman."
There is only one report I can
make to those who are inclined
to belittle Mrs. Wallis Simpson of
today:
"Sour Grapes!"
1t is clearly a matter Of jeal-
ousy. 1t is probably a jealousy
which goes back to those old school
days.
For even then Wallis was queen
Of all she surveyed.
For generations the Montague
women of Maryland have been
famous for their beauty and
charm. Men of the family wrote
Maryland history.
Wallis was the pride of the crop.

Arresting Eyes

Yes, Wallis was always queen of
any society in which she moved.
It was true in the school room.
When she came out in 1914, she
was the most popular debutante
the city had ever seen. Wherever
she went she was the most sought
after girl in the place.
1t was her natural right. Wal
lis did not ask for admiration. It
came to her without an effort.
You will find Wallis Warfield
Simpson in the Baltimore and in
the New York Social Registers.
Her family's name has always
been there.
My most vivid recollection of
Wallis is her eyes. They were
very large and deep and express
sive. Their color was hardly twice

GEMS SIMILAR

LATE QUEEN
Mayfair Buzzes Over
New Evidence of
Royal Romance
BY DAVID P. sENTNER

LONDON, Nov. 20 (I.N.SD.
Mayfair buzzed with talk today
over a magnificent new pair of
diamond dress clips worn for the
first time by Mrs. Wallis War
field Simpson at the Covent Gar
den Opera House.
They are, according to close
friend of the former Baltimore
matron, her latest gift from King
Edward.
Interest in the jewels was
heightened by their similarity in
old-fashioned setting and shape
to the famous gems of the late
Queen Alexandra. Each clip con-
tainS a large pearlshaped dia-
mond mounted in type of set
ting fashionable a generation ago.
Other gifts of the same sort as

viously, but International News

from the King. Mrs. Simpson has
had it for some time.
The necklace is composed of two
diamonds. One ribbon forms a

choker while the other bangles in

Mother, 2 Sons

NORTHWOOD, N. D., Nov. 20
G.N.SO.-A grief-stricken young
husband and father could offer no
explanation today for the tragedy
that wiped out his family last
night.

her one-year-old son, Roumaine,
in enc arm, and second son,
O'Clair, 6, in the other, knelt be-
fore an onrushing Great Northern
passenger train last night.
The Washington times., 1936-11-20

Of us children ever heard that
name. We always called her Wal
lis. Her mother used to say she
and Mr.. Warfield had hoped for
a son. That is why their daughter
became Wallis. Her mother loved
the name.
Mrs. Warfield was devoted to
Wallis. She was all the mother

lived for. OF course, she loved
to give parties for her daughter,
and we had some grand times in
the old Warfield home.

the same. Sometimes they were
deep violet. Sometimes they were
gray flecked with blue. But they
gave an impression Of intensity,
of brilliance and deep color which
was arresting.
Once you saw Wallis eyes you
could never forget them. They
made her face remarkable.
AS youngster she had long
black curls. Even then her per
sonality was so marked that it
left other girls just little afraid
of her.
Wallis today is 10 years old.
There is no secret about her age.
There does not have to be. She is
the type of woman who never
grows old, or. perhaps, better yet,
grows old with such beauty it is
like a Summer woods deepening
