NATURE CRUELTY
TO Be EXHIBITED
Display Being Arranged
Scientific Assembly Open
ing Tomorrow.

Some of natures meanest tricks on
folks living in Washington and vi
cinity will be shown in an exhibit be-
Ing arranged for the annual scientific
assembly Of the Medical Society of
the District Of Columbia, which opens
tomorrow
They are the disbalances of secre-
tions from the endocrine glands which
result in dwarfs, bearded women,
adult infants" and extremely fat
persons. The exhibit is being ar
ranged by Drs. ]. Kotz, Elizabeth Par
ker, Harry S. Douglas and B. w.
RichWine, all associated with the
endocrine clinic of George Washing
ton University, where some notable
advances have been made in the past
few years in the treatment of such
cases.
Duplicates of practically all the
plMful cases of the circus side shows
have passed through the clinic, and
in many instances have been material
ly helped. The exhibit will be devoted
mainly to those deficiencies in en-
docrine secretion which result in
changes in body form, especially the
pathological "fatnesses"
Cases Of Dwarfism.
Three cases of dWarfism, resulting
from different causes, will be included
One resulted from deficiency in
thyroid secretion. It is that of a 49,
year-old girl, 4 feet tall and with the
mentality of a 2-year-old. In this
case the stunting is general A sec
ond is the case of achondroplastic
dWArflSn1, the type usually found in
clrcuseS. The cause is not exactly
known, but is believed to be a def
cheney Of some one of the pituitary
hormones. The growth of this girl,
who is of normal mentality, was en-
tirely regular except in one respect
the long bones of the body. Thus she
is left with extremely short arms and
legs.
Another case is that Of the adult
infant, girl Of %, normal mentally,
Though physically she has never
passed early childhood She is only
feet tall. She looks like big doll.
The voice and the body form have
never undergone the changes asso-
ciated with adolescence. This condi-
ton is believed to be due to a def
cheney in the secretion Of the anterior
pituitary in early life.
Still another case is that of the
woman who must shave every day.
The cause of this Is not precisely un-
derstood, but Is believed to be due
to some distinction Of the secretions
from either the adrenal glands or the
ovaries.
Treatment of Fat Persons.
Some of the best results from treat
ment have been obtained in the cases
of abnormally fat persons. Extreme
fleshiness may result from under
secretion of the thyroid, the pituitary
or the sex glands. Each results in a
different type of fatness.
The exhibits being arranged for the
assembly include demonstrations OF
the use Of some Of the newest devices
in medicine and surgery and of patho-
logical conditions found in local hos
pitfalls. They will be accompanied by

OVER 10000 VISIT
PARK SINCE APR. 1.
Every State in Union
Represented; Park
Improvements

The Washington Monument
atop South Mountain at Boons-
boro, is becoming more and more
a place of interest for visitors, not
only for Marylanders but for tour
lists from every section of the
country.
AS an evidence of the number
of people stopping at the first
monument erected to the memory
of George Washington, Robert
Palmer, the forest warden and
park superintendent, gave some
interesting figures.
Mr.. Palmer has kept a record
of the visitors this summer. He
finds that since April 1, over TO-
900 people have visited the mon
ument. Approximately 5000 cars
have driven to the top of the
mountain, these cars coming from
a wide range of territory. Every
state in the Union except New
Hampshire has been represented.
One car was from Cuba and four
from Canada.
The peak of attendance so far
this summer for any one day, was
1907.
The monument, erected first by
citizens of Boonsboro, on July 4,
1927, crumbled and was rebuilt
several times since the last res
toration. The monument has now
been permanently restored, first
through the efforts of the Wash
ington County Historical Society
and subsequently the State of
Maryland and the government.
A modern home has been built
for the forest warden and park
superintendent. Plans are now
being made for more parking
facilities near the monument. A
cable is being laid up the noun
tain side to the monument which
will be lighted throughout the
night.
A reservoir has been construct
ed on small rocky peak and
water from this is pumped to two
fountain in the park.
A gate will, within the near flu
ture, be placed at the entrance of
the park.

SUBSCRIBES TO THE
GLOBE AND HOW!
Local Resident Wishes
Us Luck in a Unique
Communication

The Hagerstown Globe has had
many requests from old sub
scribers asking that the paper be
mailed to them regularly each
week. These subscriptions have
come over the telephone, by let
ter and even postcards. But it re-
manned for Irene Kline to sub
scribe to the Globe in the most
unique manner. We publish the
following communication, and at
the same time compliment her
on her ability as a poet:
July %, 1887
The Globe Publishing Co.,
los North Potomac Street,
Hagerstown. Md.
Gentlemen:
We have heard from our an
nouncer,
Over WEI
That the Globe is out for business
In the good old-fashioned way.
And to those who can remember,
No one could deny!
That GLOBE news was The news
On which you could rely.
The news in glowing headlines,
With trimmings insecure
May be all right for some folks,
Who need a little lure,
But for busy men and women,
Who have less time to relax,
1t is best to boil the 'heresay'
down
And give them actual facts.
Much success to you Old-Timers,
And the very best of luck,
And for a years subscription,
We pass to you the buck
And if we like the Globe as well
AS I feel sure we will,
We shall have gotten a lot for
Just one dollar bill.
Very truly yours,

GOVERNMENT SAYS
SKILLED WORKERS
In GREAT DEMAND
Youths Would be Taught
Trades Under Capable
Instructors

AS result of the scarcity of
skilled mehcanics in Hagers-
town and Washington county,
plans are being made by the
Government to institute train
ing schools in this city. Those
interested in the project are
now in communication with the
Federal Committee of Appren-
ticeship, Training and a confer
ence with leading manufactur-
ers of Hagerstown, will, in all
probability, be held within the
next few weeks.
According to statistics compiled
by the United States Department
of Labor, skilled mechanics are in
great demand in many sections Of
the country. Here in Hagerstown
there is shortage of mechanics
in number of trades, and. ac-
cording to reports, it is almost
impossible to obtain trained do
mestics.
During the depression. very few
young men were engaged in
learning trades, and those crafts
men then employed were laid off
and remained idle for number
of years. With the return to nor
malcy the older mechanics in
many instances discovered that
they had passed the age limit of
forty-five and found themselves
unable to obtain employment in
their chosen occupation. AS
result of these conditions there
are comparatively few qualified
mechanics today to meet the de-
mand of employers.
The proposed schools for Ha-
gerstown, would train domestics,
mattresses, machinists, stone ma
sons, electricians (motor winding,
etc.), craftsmen, shovel operators,
diesel engine operators, sheet
metal workers, etc. All these
groups would be under the super
vision of highly-trained instruc-
tors. The plan has been endors-
ed by both the government and
organized labor and the project,
if approved will do much toward
relieving the situation in this sec
ton. According to the Federal
representatives these schools are
ordinarily established in larger
cities, and the experiment here
will be watched closely.
