Carrying Baby to Full T erm

By Herman N. Bundessn, M. D. HOME women seem to have repeated miscsrriages Just why many of them are unable to carry a child to full term has not been definitely determined, but in some cases their failure la thought to be due to tome disturbance of the eland* of internal secretion. such as the pituitary gland or the thyroid aland The successful treatment of a number of women with this type of disorder has been reported. Three glandular extracts were used, one coming from the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain, the second known as corpus luteum <eming from the orary. and the third, estrogen, also from the ovaries. The women treated had had from ode to three early Mrths. The treatment was started just as soon aa it was definitely determined that the women were pregnant The extract from the pitaltary gland was given three times a week In fairly large dosage for the first «M aronths. and then the dosage was reduced and (outlawed for months more The corpus luteum was given three times a week for the first months, end then twice a week until eight months had elapsed The .-Mrogeas were given daily As a result of thia treatment, ail r of the women were able to go through the full term of pregnancy There was some Meedia*. however during treatment tn some cases it la not thought tons

left him a good deal to himself, while as prime minister he is constantly followed about by armed guards, and all his activities have to be submitted to hie colleagues. Evidently his view Is, "For a nice easy life, give me jail." o o— Joseph A. Schwartz, retired farmer and a bishop of Amish church, near Berne probably holds the country's record for being grandfather to the largest number of children. With the birth of a baby to one of his ten children, Bishop Schwarts became a grandfather for the 101st time. In addition, he has nearly 100 great-grandchildren, which should assure posterity of the Schwarts family for many generations and reunions the size of a county fair. —o o Tin is becoming acarce. which alarms manufacturers of brenze. st which tin Is an essential part. Metallurgists are now working in their laboratories, trying to discover substitute alloys. Tin was scarce 2,500 years ago. and the only way to repair the deficiency was to find new tin mines. This led Phoenician sailors to make their way along the stormy Atlantic to far-away Cornwall—the first mention of the British Isles In history. Now the earth has been so well explored that no one hopes for new tin supplies under the soil anywhere. The chemist replaces the explorer. Making Good: Horatio Alger Is riot dead. He lives, not only in the memories of the millions of Americans who grew up on his stories of successful boys, but in The Horatio Alger I Awards, distributed by the American Schools and Colleges Association to men and women who startJ e<l at the bottom and made good. Bernard Baruch has just received such an award, though his father was a successful Charleston, S. C.. doctor, who could give his I son a good start in life. Other more appropriate choices included George A. Hamid, born in Syria and now president of the New York state fair; Mayor William O'Dwyer of New York City, who came to this country a poor emigrant from Ireland, and worked as laborer and policeman; and Dorothy Shaver, head of a New York department store, who started in that store as a comparison shopper. All these are doubtless well deserved selections. Yet more romantic and perhaps equally meritorious was John Deferrari. the Boston fruit peddler who cam* • oat of obscurity last year to give hia eity”s public library 13.00P.9M.

The birth of the baby did not occur earlier than ten days after the Injections were stopped, and In moot Instances there was an Interval of about three weeka. in ci plaining the effect of this treatment. It Is pointed out that during the early months of preg nancy a certain secretion is produced by the pituitary gland This secretion Is thought to stimulate the firth attachment of the pia cents — the structure through which the child neceives nourish meat- to the wall of the uterus At any rate, the amount of pituitary secretion falls off about the time the placenta normally be comes firmly attached—that Is during the third or fourth month of pregnancy. Furthermore the corona luteum located In the ovary also gradually disappears during the first three months of pregnancy and the se (rations which It us wall r makes are thereafter produced by the placenta or afterbirth Thus where there Is a lack of pituitary secretkm the afterbirth te not firmly planted in the womb and does not form Its own necessary secretions properly Both of them<oaditioos tend to bring abou* its too early separation from the wemb When the needed sub stdness are supplied thi» ten hpey Mri with rt.

reached him Just at that moment ? ■’Where’s Emma Potts? Has the a gone on? Wen, you can give her 1 a message for me. Tell her she simply must let us have one of j her superlative apple pies tor the t supper. Now, 1 know the apples g aren't anything at thia time of t year, but I’ve eaten hers all year round, and how she does it 1 don't know, but they’re always delect- t able/ Tell her that!" By the time Andrew got away, . Joan and her mother had disappeared down the street. Emma ’ Potts and Gloria were already in ' the car, and were saluting their ‘ friends through the windows. Gloria’s face was beatific. “I'll drop you off at home,” An- i drew said, "and then go back to the Lodge for dinner with Bigelow. He's leaving on the afternoon ’ train." < Mrs. Potts drew back tn wound- ! ed surprise. "Why, didn't he tell ' you? You're both having dinner 1 with us today. He said he'd walk ou. from town—maybe we'U pick ] him up on the way, but ho said 1 the walk would do him good—and 1 I then you can take him to the eta- ■ Uon later.” • Andrew was surprised. Bigelow hadn't mentioned it when he saw ! him last night for a brief chat at the Lodge. But then, his old friend : had been so upset that no had : probably forgotten It. “It's not i right," Bigelow had almost cried at on* point, “that I should have . that handsome little place you and t your grandfather built for me, and . more money than 1 know how to I handle, and you should be living tn—ln that awful house!" f Andrew had laughed at him. t "It's not awful. Mrs. Potts tells i me It waa a sample house—A t Charming Suburban Cottagw—- . which was reproduced in Codey's r I look as an example of I I what a fashionable family of mod- ) erate means would wear arcmtecr turally.

What's more, it was on* of the . showplaces of the period. Mac* . nicer than those plain old simple i frame bouses around the country- . side!” ! Bigelow shook hla head. "But t for you to be living there, Mr. ' Pari—you with yodf background . and artistic feehngs—tt isn't right." r "Yen, tt la.” Andrew was aud- . denly serious. “You've don* your job in life, and a good on*, aad j you should have tt easy now. f What’s more, you did It without > a backlog of five thousand dollars m cash and an expensive educaf tian.” i “But that's just what Pas get- , ting at," Bigelow protested. "It’s twice as hard for you for that re* • son. If you hadn't been used to r everything of th* best “ He broke off. discouraged. t Andrew Md gone *a to other . subjects then. He bad asked Big*- , low to send on some of his clothe*. • but be had stipulated that thffir i should be few la number. “No use I <WUC Mra Potts queer tdaas,"

he had said, “and besides, you’ve seen that closet There simply isn't room for much.” “Are you really in earnest," Bigelow had asked, when these details were settled, "about buying a farm up here? For that matter, are you really determined to stay here in Branfield? There doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for you here, I must say.” "No, I don't think there is,” Andrew nad agreed seriously. “In architecture, at least But I have a strong feeling that If I let that Influence me and move on to some other place, that I will move on again and again.. Staying her* is —ls proving something to myself. You see, don’t you, Bfggy?" The butler had nodded. "But I wish it had been some place where you could use your talents. If your architecture should go to waste, it would be a crime, Mr. PauL" Andrew thought of this conversation now. It had settled something tn his own mind, and now—since church this morning—he felt even mor* settled. It waa hk* a weight off his chest From now on he could devote all his oner{les to becoming a citizen of this ttle comfhunlty, to finding th* work he must do, to living. Yes, that was it For he knew that his life so far had only been a preparation foe living—hot the living itself. Bigelow was waiting for them on the porch. "My stars! Why didn't you walk right In?" Mrs. Potts demanded when Andrew had let them out In the side driveway. “You could have made yourself at home in the parlor, as easy aa anything." Bigelow looked a tittle shocked. Th* idea of entering an empty house and “making himself at home" would never have occurred to him, Andrew was afire. "Wcfi, eome in now. while I see to things in the kitchen. Gloria, you entertain the gentlemen.” her mother flung at her before dlsap* peering toward the rear of the house.
