striking evidence Of activity; in

Hire life and mental outlook of the

Practically disappears.
s Concerned With Growth
All these changes are concerned
with growth. The pituitary, thyroid
and reproductive glands especially
have an influence over growth in

Sductive glands are entirely con-
keerned with the development of ma

{. It is automatic in physiology that
swhen unusual and active growth
occurs, it does not always stay
under control. The activity of the
endocrine glands in adolescence,
therefore, may be exaggerated and
in rare instances their activity may
be reduced.
In the case of the thyroid gland,
oyergrowth or overactivity can
easily be seen as an enlargement
at the base of the neck. Certain
communities are called "goiter COM
munities," and in these regions this
adoIescent enlargement may be seen
ir a very large proportion of the
population. Preventive measures in
these communities have been adopt

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

J. B. H.: "Would you tell me the
elements in coffee which are rep
utedly harmful, why they are so and
what their effects may be on the
person using it? Would coffee con-
tribute to high blood pressure, heart
or arterial troubles, or be the cause
of it, or nervousness or tension, this
in a person (woman) around sixty
or so?"
Answer-The primary physio-
logical effect of coffee is to increase
the heart beat and increase the flow
Of blood through solid organs such
as the kidneys, brain and heart
muscles. It is this effect on the brain
which causes sleeplessness. 1t is this
effect on the kidneys which causes
increased urination following the
use of coffee. Its effect on the heart
muscle is good in people over middle
age. If not used in excess, it does
no harm. 1t does not raise blood
pressure. 1t may cause nervousness
when used excessively.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, VI. D..

THE endocrine glands, which
consist of the thyroid gland in the
neck, the pituitary gland in the
head, the adrenals, the pancreatic
cells of internal secretion, and the
reproductive glands, are, with the
exception of the pancreatic glands,
rather small in infancy and early
childhood.
At the period of adolescence, when
rapid growth begins, they also take
on an accelerated development. The
thyroid gland increases nearly three
times in weight between the ages Of
10 and Is. So probably does the

"So Touching In Its Majesty"

 London was a city of some importance before the German tribes, Tacitus describes them' nao escaped from barbarism The fact may have modern meaning or it may not but it is interesting. Lon- don's roots are deep Its very name was used by the Romans two thousand years ago, and fragments of the old Roman wall still stand-or aid stand Oh the site of William the Conquerors Tower of Lon don was once a Roman fort There was an abbey at Westminster fifteen hundred years ago; and some of the stone and mortar put together by the masonS of Edward the Confessor were still there at the oe- ginning of September, l940
 Celt Roman, Saxon, Norman, modern Brltoh each gave of his strength and his imagination to make London Where the river once ran among marshes interspersed with low hills, the city was Wresed from Nature. The time came when WoroS- worth poet of Nature, could write
 Earth has not anything to show more fair
 Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
 A sight so touching in its majesty;
 This City now does like garment wear

 Grim and ugly indeed were many of US out"orn houses it's bleak streets. The fog and rain of Eng fish winter this year prayed for dwelt upon it. But every stone almost rich with history; almost every one a memorial The names or streets, churches public buildings bridges, taverns museums parks rang like bells like the century chimes of Westminster, like Bow bells for all to whom the English speech was native.
 To London came in due season all Britons who were royal by birth or, more important, by native gift and achievement Through its mostly narrow streets flowed the great of English literature of English politics, of British empire.

GOLD OR BARTER?

The care with which all the nations of the world at present guarding what gold reserves they possess does not indicate that gold will be a valueess metal after the war.
 This is the observation of Thomas M. McNiece New York economist, who spoke before the Ameri- can Mining Congress at Colorado Springs last month
 McNiece thus adds his reassurances to those of other experts, who ill the threat of devaluaton of gold in the event of a Hitler victory only axis propaganda designed to destroy faith in our own institutions and industries
 Of the danger of barter becoming the inter- national mode of exchange, McNiece says that bar ter adopted by Hitler only last resort that barter always meets dead end and return to barter would be a return to living standards of cen- turies ago, leading to revolutions throughout the world"

HOROSCOPE F "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY. OCTOBER 24

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24
 This is ar unimportant day III planetary direction, but the morn- ing hours are threatening. Capital ists and bankers are under an i'll omen that seems to indicate criti- cism and misjudgment.
 Heart and Home This is not a fortunate day for women. They should be cautious in their finan- cial affairs. Under this sway there may be a tendency to scatter en- ergies and to waste strength in unimportant matters. In the re- making of War-torn world Am ericans are to play an important part, which calls for real leader ship and the assumption of extra ordinary duties. College girls should seek training in practical occupa- tions, including cooking and tne care of children.
 Business Affairs: This is prof itable rule of the stars for mer- chandising. Changes in methods of distribution are prognoSticated. The tendency toward elimination of anything unnecessary and sup elementary will be marked through coming months. Unemployment will dwindle. Older men are to be need ed again in Salaried positions as training for war service abSQrbS the young. Prosperity will encour- age much travel Transportation or ganizations will profit.
 National Issues: Caustic criti- cism of Administration policies will create little interest in Washing ton There will be absorption in grave crises affecting the United States indirectly. The President comes under aspects presaging tre- mendous tests which he will meet successfully. He should safeguard his health as well as his person, for evil portents are discerned for many public men.
 International Affairs: Efforts to break the solidarity of the nations of the Western Hemisphere, united to prevent aggression, will take on sinister forms. Perils within the United States will multiply when foes will put on the mask of friendship Labor is subject to planetary influences that presage splendid service to the nation, and the expulsion of Fascist or Com munist clements.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Romance or uourtship, trave and change are indicated. Children born on this day prob- ably will be determined and self reliant. They should be taught to avoid pride and arrogance.

HEADQUARTERS IN ALASKA

Good news for Juneau and Alaska is contained in the announcement by Clarence Olson of the Fisf and Wildlife Service that Alaska fisheries head quarters will remain in Juneau this winter instead o migrating to Seattle as in former years Olson sev- eral assistants and clerical staff to be stationed here the year around. Agents are also to keep the Ccrdova and Ketchikan offices open all winter.
 There is good why Alaska fisheries headquarters should not stay in Alaska permanently For time it has been the aim of Charles E. Jackson Assistant Director of the Fish and Wild life Service, to maintain year around Alaska head quarters in Juneau This will be accomplished this year for the first time
 We hope some day the main offices of the Alaska fishing industry and the headquarters and homes of the industrys workers will follow the Government bureau to permanent not just a seasonal, abode in the North

 After reviewing the record of these big bags we can only hope this report is true.
 Nearly all the drigibles of Uncle Sam, Britain and Italy combined, and even some of Germanys blew up collapsed in peace time without anybody so much taking pot shot at this. What a few we-directed bullets could do to those bags, full o hydrogen, is anything but secret
 The other secret weapon is a Water-ski, made of cork It is said Hitler has trained an army of super soldiers who will invade Britain by skiing over from Norway.
