Oil Production Cut

EXAS and Oklahoma, the two
major oil states of the midconti-
nent, reduced petroleum production
drastically to prevent price col
lapse. In Texas wells were ordered
shut down on Saturdays and Sum
days to effect reduction of 1928
per cent. Oklahoma oil men were
ordered to cut production during
May $1,000 barrels daily, to 4O5, 900
barrels.
Gov. E. w. Marland of Oklahoma
said the states speedy action to
stabilize production was removal of
possible threat of federal regula-
ton.
"This act proves" Marland said,
"that the states are capable of han
ding their own affairs"

Thyroid-The Gland of Glands

Thyroid-The Gland Of Glands
Iodine is necessary for the nor
NAL functioning of the thyroid
gland, situated in the front part Of
the neck. The thyroid is so i'm
portant that it is often regarded
as the throttle which governs the
human locomotive, and when it
fails to function normally, the
body machinery may be thrown
out of balance.
Thyroid disturbance during
childhood may affect mental and
physical development. and many
children have been accused of
laziness who are suffering from
thyroid deficiency. Thyroid disor-
der may be a complicating factor
in obesity, and specialists have
found that it is associated with
many stubborn skin diseases. It
is also claimed that iodine starva-
ton influences mental makeup
and emotional tendencies.

Animal Experiments Point The Way

In 1916, it was estimated that a
million young pigs died annually
in Wisconsin. Investigation dis
closed that their thyroid glands
were abnormally large and alb
normally low in iodine. When 10
dine was administered to the
mothers, the young pigs were born
normal.
Scientists reasoned that if goiter
could be prevented in animals, it
could be prevented in humans,
and undertook the now famous
census in Akron, Ohio. A study
was made of the thyroid glands of
all school girls from the fifth to
the twelfth grades. Almost so per
cent were found to have enlarged
thyroid glands.
The girls were given small
doses of sodium iodide dissolved
in drinking water at given periods
over 21s years. At the end of
that time, investigators found that
of 1000 pupils, only 5 developed
thyroid enlargement. OF the same
number not treated, 500 showed
enlargement.

lodine-Rich Foods

The sea is the great storehouse
of iodine and hence, the most
abundant sources are sea food, in
Guiding salmon, cod, crabmeat
and oysters; cod liver oil; and
salt.
Fruits and vegetables grown
near the sea contain varying
amounts of iodine, depending upon
the water and soil, and the season,
the iodine content being at a max
imum in the autumn and winter.
In general, it may be said that
the leaves of plants contain more
iodine than the roots, and that
leafy vegetables and legumes
store more than fruits, with the
exception of cranberries, which
are a good source. When the soil
is rich in iodine, watercress be-
comes a fine source of this SUBJ
stance.

lodized Salt

One of the most satisfactory
methods for adding iodine to the
diet, especially in goiterous re-
gions, is through the use of iodized
salt. In Detroit, a city-wide test
of iodized salt reduced the preva-
lence of simple goiter from So per
cent to 2 per cent. Similar fig
ures have been cited for other To-
calities. Iodized salt costs no
more than ordinary table salt and
is an excellent safeguard against
simple goiter.
Iodine in Drinking Water
Even in early times, it was be-
ieved that there was some rela-
ton between goiter and drinking
water, and recent evidence has
disclosed that there was a sound
basis for this belief. Two investi-
gators found that the water in a
large part of the northern half of
the United States falls into a low
iodine classification.
Several communities have given
consideration to the prevention of
goiter by the addition of iodine to
the water supply. This method is
commendable, but it must be
borne in mind that wherever 10

The diligent reporter has been

With the Northcliffe papers in
London, he became a multi-million-

nalism with daring American tech
niques. He became a British citizen
in 1914 and was knighted in 1928.
In addition to his vast newspaper
interests, he is a magnate of cleo
trio power and utilities.
He was a printers devil on his
fathers newspaper in Youngstown,
Ohio, and, at the age of twelve, was
knocking about country printshops in
Ohio on the same job. He became
a compositor on the Brooklyn Eagle.
