Can Man Develop "The
Thing?" 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

with few exceptions slaps the
brakes on at a certain special
time. 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.

signed the contract, been handed the keys and drive,
off, you get one of the biggest thrills of your life.
You suddenly realize that this gleaming, purring
mechanical marvel belongs to you! And you know
that no other car can touch it for looks, perform
ance and value.)
Your local car dealers will be maidng a special
effort April 6-18 to give you the opportunity to
make this major decision of your life to help you

their announcements in this newspaper. Talk it
over with the family and see your dealer soon.
