Birth Injuries One of the saddest of the many sad sights that the doctor sees in the pcourse of his day’s work, is the hnen tally retarded child who owes his al most hopeless condition to some injury sustained at birth. While by no means all mental retardations come from this cause, enough of them do to give us serious pause, and make us search for some means of prevention. No, strange as it may sound, it is toy no means always, or even usually, the attending doctor who was to blame. Quite as frequently it is the mother and father who by their remissness allowed complications to take place that might have been avoided had they engaged their doctor in time, given him all the information he would have asked for, and followed his instructions. S • And then, even strange, it not in frequently happens without any de monstratrable cause—apparently no one was at fault. It is quite as likely to happen from too precipitate a labor, as from a difficult one in which in struments were required. But this is by no means as common as are those instances when pre-natal care and preparation, might have helped, or entirely prevented the condition. Don’t drag these children from doc tor to doctor. Follow the instruction of your own physician. He’ll ask for consultation if he oelieves this holds out any hope of improvement. Ductless Gland Disease Sometimes Self Limited Ay LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. IT IS a common error to think that if any of the ductless glands in the body go wrong, they are going to be that way indefinitely or until something is done about it. Like all other structures of the body, they have cycles of activity and of sluggish ness, and many of the diseases which they pro duce are self limited. In other words, end spon taneously with out treatment. As an evidence of this we may take the familiar disease of goiter. Most people be lieve. so tar as I can tell, that unless something is done about a goiter it is bound to get worse. But to get another view, go back to some of the first cases of active goiter (ex ophthalmic goiter) that were de scribed—by a German physician named Basedow nearly a hundred years ago. Basedow lived in a small town, and was able to observe these patients over a long period of time He lived before the days of surgery and. therefore, the goiters could not • be removed. He says frequently in his reports that he thought this pa tient or the other would die within a *.hort time, and that the fellow townspeople thought they were crazy, but in every instance he re cords a complete recovery. The dis ease simply ran its course and the gland returned to normal activity. The same is true of other glands. One of the recently described condi- Questions and Answers Question —It’s easy to find material about the physical care of the child— the Children’s Bureau at Washington is really a wonderful help—but where does one find literature about dis cipline? Answer—The Chldren’s Bureau has some very good pamphlets on emo tional training and discipline, as well as o. the physical care of children. Write them for a list of helps along this line. With the Sack Undergoes Operation George Hall underwent an operation at Alaria Parham hospial, and his con dition was said to be favorable today. Mrs. Young Improving Mrs. W. M.

It is interesting to note that the first case was described in 1923, a year after the use of insulin be came general. It was not until in sulin was used that we knew tho symptoms of an overdosage—which are combined feelings of hunger and weakness, combined with a low amount of sugar in the blood. An American physician living at Birmingham, Ala., was consulted la 1923 by a patient who had never taken insulin, and yet had the exact symptoms of a dose of it—weakness, nervousness and Irritation about an hour before dinner and supper, re lieved by taking a soft drink. On a diet which consisted in a large amount of sweets to counterbalance the excessive secretion of insulin, he made a symptomatic recovery. A number of cases have been re ported since then and, in fact, the diagnosis has been made, to my knowledge, over the telephone from the recital of the patient’s symptoms. There are tnany people who have al ternating waves of increased secre tion of insulin and decreased secre tion, so that their diet has to b® varied according to circumstances, which usually can be determined by a recital of the patient's own symp toms.

Sheffield, of Sta Ste Col lege. Mr. Sheffield, who has charge of the cotton program in North Carolina, explained that the Bankhead (bill sup plements the voluntary program and does not supplant it. Its purpose is to protect the voluntary reducers by limiting the production of those who did nots ign contracts, hes aid. He has spent two weeks in Washing ton helping the division of crop esti mates in the Department of Agricul ture calculate the county allotments under the aßnkhead bill. As soon as the calculations have been made, the county allotments will be announced. Then the individual allotments can be worked out by county] agents and committeemen. Sheffield pointed out that the tre mendous amount of work involved in checking accurately the past cotton histories of all the counties has delay ed the announcement of allotments, but such checking is necessary to give each county its just amount of the State’s allotment. Some of the rental checks have al ready been received by North Carolina growers who signed reduction con tracts and others are scheduled to get their checks soon after their con tracts have beer., accepted by the Washington, office of the AAA. The first batch of checks aggregating $50,- 000, went to Hoke county, which was first to complete the revision of all contracts in line with figures used by the State Board of Review. The total rental payments for North Carolinans will run to a:out $3,220,000 £iome $50,000,000 in all is to be paid the cotton farmers of the South in rentals All checks should be received before the last of June, Sheffield predicted. Carelessness Is Blamed For Many Os Forest Fires Dull? Dlupntch Oarrna, In Ihe Str Walter Hotel. BY .1. C. BASKERVILL.

McCormick, assistant State forester in charge of forest fire control for the Department of Conservation and Development. More than one-fourth of the forest fires occurring in counties organized for protection against the ‘red demon” during the month of April, ac cording to the report, were started by negligence of smokers. Ninety-nine of the 389 fires reported during the month were blamed on careless smok ers. .»■ i i ip« i. ■- n i ' ■ ■ Nikolai Sokoloff, noted American conductor of music, born in Russia, 48 years ago.
