Medical authorities are beginning to believe that the ductless glands in the bodies of criminals are In some way responsible for their tendency to do wrong. Medical men as yet have but little positive knowledge of these glands They are quite numerous, we are told, and have no apparent outlets or secretions. Yet from all the evidence at hand, it appears that they affect in a marked way the growt'u, physique, mentality and moral tendencies of men and women. Among these puzzling glands are the pltuary at the br.ae of the brain, the thyroid and thymus glands at the base of the neck, the suprarenal above the kidneys and sexual glands. The abnormal functioning of the pituitary gland results in exaggerated growth; disorders of the thyroid and thymus glands are responsible for cretinism. a type of idiocy; several forms of insanity have been traced to diseased conditions of the sexual glands. Dr. Madeleine Hallowell, who has made a special study of feeble-minded persons and moral delinquents of various kinds, declares that the chemical composition of the blood invariably undergoes a change when a person feels any strong emotion such as fear or anger. Difference in reactions to such emotions, she is convinced. are due to differences in these chemical changes in the blood. Chemical changes in the blood of certain criminals and feeble-minded persons differ from changes induced by like causes In the blood of normal persons. This is because of a difference in the chemical composition of the blood, resulting fom abnormal functioning of certain of the ductless

glands.

Efforts have been made to restore feeble-minded and criminal subjects to a normal condition by administering to them extracts from glands in whose secretions their blood is deficient. These have not been altogether successful so far but experimenters are confident that the desired results wili be obtained in time. Decided success has resulted from such treatment In the case of a number of feeble-minded patients, we are told. According to Dr. Hallowell. there Is no hope of curing or benefiting feebleminded persons whose condition results from some abnormal development of the brain cells or whose brain cells have been injured in some way. Where the patient’s brain is altogether normal structurally but the cells react abnormally to apparent sensations. however, the administration of extracts from deficient glands often results in decided improvement. Believing that many criminals are criminals because of an abnormal chemical condition of their blood, due to the same glands whose abnormal functioning is responsible for idiocy In some cases, she argues that similar treatment should reduce the criminal ten-

dency.

"The protection of the moral integrity and the conservation of the mental virility of its citizens are primary and inherent functions of government,” Dr. Hallowell declares. “The state Is socially responsible for the ills that menace society and their final elimination must he undertaken as a public duty-

He pointed out that the field for real courage does not disappear with the military armistice In defining “true

courage” he said:

FIRE DOWNTOWN COST $100,000

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan dl—Fire destroyed the interior jf a three story brick building owned by Lucius B Wainwright, at 127-129 South Meridian street and occupied by the Central Wall Paper & Paint Company shortly after 4 o’clock yesterday morning, causing a loss estimated at $100,000. Circumstances surrounding the origin of the blaze are such that Fire Chief Loucks declares he will re. quest an investigation by the police department and the state fire mar-

shal

The fire started in the rear of the basement and the flames went up the north elevator shaft to the second and third floors. The paint and oils were stored in the basement but these were in an iron enclosure and caused no trouble. According to Chief Loucks the rafters in the basement indicated they might have been set on fire. He said that in several places the fire had burned through the rafters and the floor but there were spaces also where there had been no fire at all. Chief Ivoucks with Assistant Chief Hoyl went over the ruins in the afternoon, but said the building was in such condition that it was im_ possible to make a thorough investigation until today.

He distinguishes between the valua. tion of physical courage an^ that in. spired by a great principle by pointing to the examples of Charles Lee, “a soldier of fortune” and Lafayette, both of whom offered their services to Washington in the revolutinary war He remarked that no American soldier passing through England 0,1 the way to France thought of visiting Lee’s grave and saying /“We are

Courage Bishop Hughes said, is not an absence of fear but the con. quest of it. He disparaged the concep tion oF courage a* indifference. Trembling and cold sweat, he declar. ed, are the credentials of bravery. He referred to Allan Seegar who left Harvard university to fight under the tricolor, confessed his premonition of life sacrifice i n his poem, “A Rendezvous with Death,” yet conquered his fear and inspired his comrades in the charge as he fell on the battle field. “Foolhardinesss,” the speaker said, “consist of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel with iron hoops aid get. ti-'g killed.

The other two died enroute to a hospital. Property Loss $150 0#0 The property damage was estimat. ed at $150,000.

In clothes made for wear In those sunny resorts along the clean sands that border the sea we find them fairly reveling In white apparel of every character; and even sport clothes this year have swung away from vivid colors to white, or white with a dash of color thrown in.

This trend of the styles toward white and quiet tones iC very noticeable In sweaters and sweater coats, where, heretofore there has been abundance of strong color.

Ribbons are more conveniently used for small furnishings—as candle and lamp shades, telephone screens, cushions, baskets and all the belongings of the dressing table, because of their finished edges and highly ornamental character. Glass foundations covered with ribbon make the loveliest of powder dishes or powder bowls, bonbon dishes and vases. A few late examples of the ribbon worker's art appear in the picture above, which includes a pillow made of plain and braided ribbons.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS -CABARET." ■OROUGHT into prominence JD of lute years because of the large number of hotels and restaurants which have advertised “dancing cabarets" or "jazz cabarets” or have used the term as Indicative of a place where one can secure food and amusement at the same time, “cabaret” has come to be regarded as a new addition to the Eiglish language—a word which, from its form and pronunciation. Is evidently French. As a matter of fact the term was originally of Gallic origin, but It Is by no means modern, having been widely used in England during the Sixteenth century as a synonym for "tavern." There was nothing musical about thecabnnets of this period and the only amusement they afforded was that which the travelers furnished. While the word was used by Bramlmll in one of his works published in 1685. It passed out of the language soon after that and did not return again until about the middle of the Eighteenth century. At this time, however, Its stay was short and Its popularity limited. Not until the dancing craze struck the world n few years ago was it resurrected In its present sense. It has changed Its meaning so much of late that, If a hotel advertised a “cabaret” and did not provide at least an orchestra, it would be accused of fraudwhile as a matter of several centuries of custom It would lie entirely within its rights.
