He's Probably At Work on It The "Thing" has not been created yet. But it will be. Some one, or a group of someones, may even now be working on it. With the ad vances already made in tech nology, chemistry, anatomy and surgery, it would seem that this generation might see the earth-shaking results of an experiment of this kind. Science has gone a long way into the inner workings of glands and ducts. Research ers have located a great many of them and they know what they do, but not always how they do it. There is, they have found a gland whose sole function has to do with growth. It begins working at birth and FINANCIAL with a CHECKING ACCOUNT!

If the brakes slip, or are not applied at just the right time, we have a giant or an abnormally large being This check seems pretty con sistent however; all full grown men, rats or grasshoppers, re- mahvabout normal. What Would Happen? Knowing these things, the scientist wants to know more. He can not help wondering what would happen if he could take a bug, for instance, and just as the growth-gland began to put the brakes -on, the gland could be replaced by one from a very young in sect, and the body would steadily grow until that gland, too, could be replaced. The result might be super-bugs as large as dogs. The possibilities intrigue the scientific mind and stagger the imagination. , The chances are the subject of these experiments will be some kind of insect. Their life cycle is so rapid; one genera tion following another so fast, that these creatures would be the logical subjects. Or a rat might be chosen. They are rugged individuals, are easy to work with and disgustedly available. This subject has been the basis for many fiction stories, where the imagination of the writer and his readers has run rampant, and in some in stances may have been almost prophetic. There is no doubt, a ceil ing or barrier, established by nature, and over which men can not go; there is a limit imposed by a power more po tent than ours, that estab lishes, checks and balances and controls the growth ; of every living being. It is possible that the obsta cle will never be scaled and that man, with all his bun gling, may never be able to create a thing that could even tually destroy him; but he is going to try, make no mistake about that-probably already is at work on it.
