ment of abnormal children. He
has a child that has been under
endocrine treatment for four years
and is showing quite a little i'm

for these gland extracts 10 work
The first three years his child was
under treatment. there wasn't any
improvement at all, but during
the last year it was marked. When
asked him whether that might
not be due TO natural growth and
maturity, he was sure it wasn't
| turn for support Of my views
to the article on ductless gland
therapy in the very latest text
book of medicine TO be published.
Different authors write the vari-
Gus chapters, so one may be as
sured that the man who wrote this
one is the best and most expert
enced in his field.
Three Groups of Patients
Under the heading What Isn't
Endocrinology" he says there are
three groups Of patients often
brought to the endocrinologist
who should never be accepted by
him and fer whom he can do
nothing.
First comes the fat boy who is
slightly late in development. This
patient nine times out of ten is
labelled with the endocrine dis
order known as Frolich's syn
drome, whereas he is just fat
boy, whatever that is. If left alone
he will develop normally and cease
10 be fat after puberty.
Second is the child who does not
do we'll in school. There is feel
ing among would-be progressive
educators that such situation de-
mands a survey by an endocrln-
ologist. There is only one en-
doctrine abnormality which leads
10 mental retardation and that IS
cretinism, or congenital absence
of the thyroid gland. This will re-
spond to thyroid feeding, but to be
successful it has to be done during
tn, first few weeks or months Of
life. And obviously the diagnosis
can not be made at this period on
the basis Of mental retardatlon be-
cause the baby hasn't enough
mental life to evaluate clinically.
Delay Is Fatal
And If the parents and doctor
wait until the full-bloHn picture
Of cretanism dovelops-the frog
baby, with heavy countenance,
protruding lips, thick skin, lack
Of growth, pot belly, insecure pos
ture, delayed dentation and slug
gish reactions it is too late Tor
thyroid; the damage is done.
The condition should be spotted
BY the obstetrician or pediatric'an
during the first weeks Of life. One
hint for diagnosis is a persistent
navel hernia.
Third, loss Of hair, whether 1t
be plain badness or the spotty loss
Of hair known as alopecia areata.
The ductless glands have some
thing to do with certain kinds OF
hair, but those are cases where the
hair never appears, or appears too
soon or there is too much hair in
the wrong place. They have
nothing to do with loss of hair. A
bald man will get just as much
good from ductiess gland treat
ments as he will from a barber
rubbing snake oil in his scalp
which IN both instances Is no coed
ct all.

NEW YORK, Aug. l. Herbert

nominee. will carry at least Is
States and defeat President Roose-
velt in the November election.
The IS States enumerated by Mr..
Brownell in q press conference yes
terday have 311 electoral votes-or
As more than the 266 required for
election.
Mr.. Brownell said public opinion
polls in Illinois. Indiana, Ohio,

dicated that Gov. Dewey would
carry those States.
In addition. he placed these In the
Dewey column: Colorado, Con-
necticut, Delaware. Idaho, Kansas,

The six States in which polls

for the Republicans of more than
SIS per cent over 1910. Mr.. Brownell
said, adding:
"A study Of the 1910 figures show
that a Nation wide shift OF I per
cent to the Republican column will
bring victory in Is States with 3ll

Results in the six States already
polled clearly indicate that Repub-
licans are going to get at least a
S per cent shift in votes and more :"

Southern Legislators
See Fourth-Te Peril
In Bolt by Electors
BY the Associated Press.

Southern Democrats returning to
their congressional posts today,
brought reports that opposition to
the administration Is still strong
enough to endanger party victory
in the November election.
All sthose questioned agreed that
the Democrats would garner a ma
jority of the popular vote through
the South. But several said that
when the electoral college meets to
choose a President they expect
various electors to vote for Senator
Byrd, Democrat. Of Virginia, rather
than President Roosevelt.
They said that if the balloting Is
close and this should happen, even
though only few electors switched,
it might easily allow the Republican
nominee, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, to
get majority Of the electoral votes.
Mississippi Bolt Expected.
Two Representatives, neither OF
whom wished to be identified, said
they firmly believed "at least some"
Of Mississippi's electors would not
support Mr.. Roosevelt. The Missis-
sippi State Democratic Convention
this spring told its electors they
were not bound to the party nomi-
nee unless specified requests were
granted at the national conven-
ton, Several Of the requests were
sidetracked at the recent Chicago
meeting.
Representative Gibson, Democrat,
of Georgia declared there Is a great
deal of discomfort and dissatisfac-
tion throughout the South. I think
Georgia will stick by the party, but
I look for some of the electors In
the other States to split up"
Likewises Representative SikAs,
Democrat, of Florida said lie ex&'
pected his State ito 60. down the
line for the party" but because Of
strong personal feeling among MANY
electors elsewhere, q particularly In
Mississippi, it Is quite likely they
will stick by their threat to bolt"
Russell Doubts Bolt.
Senator Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia asserted, however, that
although there is lot of bitterness
over some matters, particularly the
handling of the racial problem, the
talk of the electors boiling is
threat, pure and simple. When 1t
really comes time to vote" he added,
the Southern electors will go with
the party and they will be so
recorded"
Another Representative, who
asked that his name be not used,
commented that "the situation In
Texas is SO confused it may still
be tied up in the courts in Novem-
her"

than a definite count could be made.
Hundreds were taken on both the
American and British fronts. The
total for the weeks campaign
seemed nearer $4,000 than yester-
days original 10000. One dispatch
said $500 were being rounded up in
the plunge beyond Avranches alone.
The major impetus of the Ameri-
can battle front was southwark
around Percy and Tessy- sur Wire, 20
to Is miles northeast of Avranehes,
however. the German resistance had
hardened. The Germans were fight
ing there in an effort to relieve
the continuing pressure on their
western flank. In the Percy area
particularly the Germans launched
q savage counterattack, but the
Americans contained it.
AS the consolidation behind the
spearheads continued Yank in
fantrymen found numerous groups
of IS to 20 Germans hiding in barns
and abandoned dwellings. Few chose
to fight it out, most preferring to
surrender. Many complained that
their officers had deserted them.
British troops under 1t. Gen.
Miles C. Dempsey went into high
gear during the night, although It
still was too early to call the on
slaught definite breakthrough. In
dications were, however, that the
German center had suffered a seri-
GUS dent.
The British have captured the vii
lage OF Fumechon on the north edge
OF the BOis du Homme Forest and
strengthened their hold on Hill 800
and the village of Galet around the
western and southwestern fringes of
the wood. This area was covered by
a heavy ground mist this morning,
adding to the difficulty the Tommies
had in routing the enemy from ma
chine gun nests and rife pits hidden
among the trees.
(The German radio announced
that Marshal Won Kluge had de
cided to halt Gen. Sir Bernard L.
Montgomery beyond the Av-
rancheS-Caen road.")

slightly north Of Caumont, British
troops captured Launay and Cante-

There Is no way Of telling wbether

Except for road and secondary
rail lines into the Brest Peninsula

Brittanv DefensAs Weakened.
With the main line at Rennes cut,
the Germans would have to supply
their fight for Brittany either from
the south OF France or along the
ciruitous supply chain composed Of
the trunk line through Orleans and
Tours to Nantes and thence into the
peninsula along the southern coast
by secondary roads and spur lines.
Marshal Erwin Rommel already
has weakened the Germans Brit
tany defenses in the last desperate
two weeks Of his fight for Nor
mandy.
At the outset Of the invasion the
Germans were stronger on the Pas
de-Calais front across the English
Channel from Dover than anywhere
else in the west, and possibly that
still is true.
Normandy, with slightly more
than half the defense strength of
the Pas-de Calais, was the second
strongest. Brittany was third, with
perhaps q little more than half as
much defensive strength as Nor
