BY AN EXPLOSION

Thumb, Fingers While
Coloring Pictures

Margaret, five-yaar-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard Morris, rout .
1, Oxford, lost her thumb and the
first three fingers of her left hand
yesterday afternoon about o'clock at
her homo while coloring pictures with
crayons in a picture. There was an
explosion, and bits of metal were
found in the room, which led the par-
ents to believe the child had been in
jured by dynamite cap. A safety pin
was also found in the room with the
point burned and blackened, and
pieces of crayOn with pin holes in
th<2m were found, leading the parents
to believe that the cap was imbedded
in the crayon the child was using.
The little girls right eye was closed
just in time to keep it from being in
jured, it was said, the outside of the
lid being injured.
In Brentwood hospital, the little
girl was said to be doing as well as
could be expected.

had opened in first position with a bid
OF one diamond North surveyed his

MS strength was concentrated in his

to do was to pass and await develop

stances East would have bid 4 spade,
out one no trump was q game -Roine
declaration and he fervently hoped
that his opponents would interject 4
defensive bid. South and West passed
and 1t was again up to North. He was
sure his opponents could make their
contract, but perhaps he could boost"
them to higher and unmaksble con-
tract. North knew that he might be
putting his head in q moose, but he
just didn't have the self-control to sit
there quietly while his opponents
romped off with the rubber. He
doubled and East. knowing the trap
was sprung. quickly doomed forth a
redouble. South tried two clubs
West promptly doubled (this was easily
the best contracD, whereupon South
then rescued himself to two hearts
West again doubled and, there being
no other place to 60, that became the
final contract.

Role of Glands in
Mental Disease Is
Unsolved Problem
By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER

by MARJORlE VAN DE WAAETt
New York. = One of the
most puzzling problems faced
by the scientist exploring
mans mind is the role played
by the powerful glands of the
human body.
A matter of demonstrated fact Is
the knowledge that these glands
serve as chemical factories, pour
ing out potent substances capable
of changing the whole behavior of
the Individual Presence or lack of
glandular chemical may make a
person energetic or lazy, submits.
sive or rebellious, mentally alert or
stupid.
That the endocrine glands occupy
place of power in determining
the mental soundness or illness of
the individual has long been sus-
pected by physicians and psychol-
ogists. Glandular disorders have
been noted in the mentally ill and
to some this has meant that the
glands could be blamed for the men,
tai illness. Others, reversing the
relationship, see the emotional
strains of mental disease as effec.
tive in throwing the endocrine sys
tenn out Of balance.
Actually, medical science today
has no crucial evidence of any
cause and effect relationship be
tween the powerful glands of inter
nal secretion and mental disease or
mental deficiency, DR.. Hugh T. Car
michael, psychiatrist of the Univer
sity of Chicago medical school, told
his colleagues at the meeting of the
American Association for the AID
vancement of Science.
A recent survey showed that of
group of about 300 mental patients
selected for endocrine diagnosis
and treatment more than a third
were so improved that they were
able to leave the institution. But
do not jump to the conclusion that
it was gland treatment that saved
them. Further analysis showed on
ly II per cent of those selected
for endocrine diagnosis actually
had anything wrong with their
glands and less than half of these
had adequate gland treatment. In
addition many of those cured" had
had a type of mental disease thai
often disappears spontaneously.
Mental disease and mental de
dciencies are common. So also are
glandular imbalances. That they
are often found in the same in
dividual could be simply matter
of chance.
The role of the endocrines is still
an unsolved problem and presents
a fruitful field for future research

his choice of food materials
to live vigorously-to think {
strong, healthy and wise.
1t can be truly said that
your food is your fate. 1t has
the power to shape your body
to make it strong and beau
tiful, or weak and ugly. It has
the power to influence your
language, your gait, your tone
of voice, in short-your life.
With the right food, life be-
comes a glorious adventure,
for it increases your leader
ship, intensifies your mag
netic qualities, strengthens your
morale, and increases your physi-
cal defenses and resistance.
Food-the Fuel of Life.
The body machine cannot be
run efficiently without proper food
fuel any more than car, could
be run without gas, or a house
could be heated without oil, coal
or wood.
Food also has the potoer to speed up
or slow down the workings of the mind.
1t likewise influences the state of our
nerues. the ,Uarn,th of our affections, the
type of characters toe possess.
Finally, the power to have
strong, healthy children is based
on proper food. And nutritional
scientists have discovered that
the wrong food can even take
away from us the greatest bless
ing that Nature has bestowed
our earthly Immortality. For it
can deprive us of the ability to
bear children who will carry on
after we are gone.
Six Groups of Food Substances.
What food substances are neces-
sary to build and maintain top
health-to develop the greatest
physical and mental power?
1. PROTEINS which build
and repair body tissues. These
are found in such foods as
milk, eggs, meats, fish, cheese
and nuts.
2. FATS which yield heat
and energy. The fats are rep
resented by butter, cream, oils
and the fat of meats.
3. CARBOHYDRATES - the
starches and sugars. These
also supply heat and energy,
and are found chiefly in such
foods as bread, potatoes, cere-
ais and sweets.
4. MINERALS which build,
repair, protect and regulate.
Among the minerals which are
absolutely necessary to health
and vigor are calcium, phos-
phorus, iron, copper, iodine,
sulphur, manganese, magne-
SUM, sodium and potassium.
These are found in varying
amounts in milk, eggs, fruits,
vegetables, whole grain cere-
ais and meats.
S. VITAMINS which are nee
essary for body regulation, and
as a protection against dread
deficiency diseases. Six have
