A BREAKDOWN

I was able to press a buzz
ger for Daisy before the
blaekout, and it was day or
two later in the hospital that
| heard the doctors say l had
10 take a long. long rest They
called it a nervous break
down.
In another two weeks I was
in a plane bound for Florida
and a six months leave of alb
sence.
Miss Humphreys was
female martinez, but l sort of
liked the old girl. She was
my nurse and my boss. and l
didn't have a worry in the
world.
I'll say this for Fairfax
Studios, they paid all the bills,
and l had quite a nice little
place on an island called
Indian Rocks. just off the
west coast of Florida between
Clearwater and St. Peters
burg.
1t was a secluded spot, with
a colored houseman and a fat
nanny who could cook like
nobody's business. and all l
did was loaf on the beach, fish
in the lagoon back of the
bungalow and take long sun
baths.
l wasn't allowed to read a
newspaper or a magazine at
first, and then when l was
given this privilege all the
Hollywood columns and pic
lures were carefully cut out
before the periodicals were
given me.
And, to tell the truth, 1
didn't give a boot.
Then, one day after I'd
been loafing down there for
about four months and had
two months to go-I wash t.

in acting charge of my de-

around for an hour or so. and
then my gaze accidentally lit
on the pretty girl whose face

so | picked II up. and there
was Sally cambridge staring

ductless glands We have TO infer
a good deal more than actually
study.
THEIR FUNCTION
After the thyroid the pitui-
tary gland hanging from the
base of the brain was discov-
cred: and then the adrenals
perched one on rOp OF pdCfT- KID.
ney: then the parathyroids bel
hind the thyroid; and the isletSV
of Langerhans. which are en-
meShed in the body of the pam
creas: then the reproductive
glands were added 10 the list.
The purpose of these glands
was obscured, too. for a long
while because they preside over
functions that we take for
granted. Growth, for instance.
Everybody assumes that we
grow because. like Topsy, we
lust growed." But elements in
the body preside over this and
the ductless glands Secrete those
elements.
Besides growth. they control
general body functions-heat,
nutrition, fat distribution-re-
production and the subconscious
life processes like blood pres
sure. intestinal movements. etc.
Being concerned as they are
with growth and the appearance
of maturity. they naturally work
more energetically at certain
periods of life than others
their full tides are at Adde'S
cence. when the boy or girl is
turning into man or woman, and
they decline from that peak until
senility practically comedies
with their extihsiishmeHt.---
PITUITARY GLAND
The king gland is the pitui-
tary. 1t makes one shudder in
awe to think what this small
gland does to us. The early ex-
periments on the pituitary
(about 1917 were done on ami
mails in which il cannot be re-
moved without removing part of
the base of the brain also.
But in the rat, as in man. a
diaphragm separates it from the
brain. So the rat is now the
experimental animal of choice.
If the pituitary be removed FROM
a young rat. it will never grow
a fraction of an inch in length
or weight again.
1t will remain sort of slug
gish. contemplative and de-
tdched rat. entirely different
from its bustling brothers. 1t
may have to be fed If the pitui-
tary be removed from a mature
rat. it begins to be prematurely
Senile. ~
All the other ductless glands
degenerate: all functions are
sluggish. Isn't il appalling to
think that our destiny is incor-
porated in a few cells no bigger
than the tip of your Little
finger?

I'LL grant you that when
L Larkin reported for duty
he was all full of pep. He
was personable and we'll

not making his initial appear

she was ushering in a theater
when Joe Gunther spotted her
and gave her a screen test.
She wasn't a bit hard on
the eyes, but then any girl
who can't dazzle the Gus

Secretary Reported to Have Assured
Four of His Active Support

any of these Republicans would be
just as much blow to the admin
istration's international program as
the defeat of any staunch Demo-
cratic supporter of that program.
Mr.. Knox was said to have made
it clear, however. that he was not
committing President Roosevelt or
the administration to active back
ing for the trio. Some Of those
present were described as counsel
ing that any such move would be
unWiSe, since they wished to be free
to criticize New Deal domestic poll
cieS.
Nothing was said at the confer
ence, it was reported, about the
attitude Mr.. Knox might take
toward five other Republican Sem
ators up for reelection next year.
The five-Senators Brooks of Illi-
nois, Capper of Kansas, Lodge of
Massachusetts,, McNary of Oregon
and Thomas of Idaho-have been
critical of some administration
moves in the field of foreign policy.

Long-Disianee Phone
Workers Reported
Voting Strike, 10 10 |
Counsel Says Cancellation
Efforts Have FoiIed;
WuIkout Feared

A spokesman for the Federation
of Long Lines Telephone Workers
said Yesterday that a vote being
taken among its $4,000 members
showed an almost 10-to-1 trend for
strike against the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co.
Henry Mayer, counsel for the
union. asserted that efforts of the
United States Cancellation Service
to bring about an agreement had
failed and that tie-up of the Ma
tons long distance phone service
including Army and Navy commu-
nication systems-might result un-
less an understanding was reached
The strike vote will be completed by
next Friday Mr.. Mayer said.
A walkout would involve lines OF
the A. T. & T. in AZ States, Mr.
MAYER said. and because the long
lines workers have an agreement
with unions of local workers not tc
cross picket lines. strike conceiv-
ably could involve local as well as
long distance facilities.
Mr.. Mayer said that a two-day
session of a Cancellation service
panel had brought no result and
that he was returning to New York
During the discussion, he said, the
union abandoned an original de-
mand for a union shop and five
day week and modified wage re-
quests to a point slightly below
10 per cent increase.
The present average for plant
workers ranges between S45 and $5(
and for workers in the operating
departments between s25 and $50
he said.
Mr.. Mayer insisted that the COM
pany refused to bulge during the
negotiations, making necessary TIT
submission of the strike question Il

Frank P. Lawrence, vice president
in charge of long lines, said from hi.
home in Montclair. N. j.. that ne
gotiations toward a settlement were
