SPEEDING UP GROWTH IN SHORT CHILDREN

risler Mary Freda. S. S. A; Mrs.

A boy sixteen years of age con- sulted his family physician because he was some inches shorter than the averago or normal .and came from a family who were of normal height. His physician prescribed a sex extract. testosterone, with good results.

Now we read of zi group of seven- teen boys. ranging ui age from 3'.-; to 15 years of age. who were short but otherwise normal. None of them could be considered a dwarf. as they were not much under size and their bodies were well propor- tioned. Tliey belonged to well-to-do Mexican families, were on a well- balanced diet, and lived under good hygienic conditions. The deficiency in growth before treatment and the gain after it was measured with those observed in normal children as reported in the "Official Table for Growth of Mexicali Chiltirzn."

The treatment consis ed of weekly intramuscular injections of an aqueous suspension containing 25 mg. testosterone per injection The treatment was given for a period lhat varied between 2 and 11 months in ten of the children and be- tween one and two and a half years in the other seven.

What were the results? The rats of growth was speeded up in all patients except three adolescents who showed a subnormal rate of growth during the first treatment for three or four months but then showed it normal rate of growth for the second period of treatment that lasted from four to eleven months.

Tne only side effccls were the rare appearance of genital disorders in which case the treatment was stop- ped temporarily and then recontin- ued successfully.

These patients discontinued treat- ment as soon as they obtained zi satisfactory height, some of them have been followed up for one -Jrl two years during which period they continued to grow at it normal rate.

At what age is this trealmi-iit con- sidered to give best results? Dr. Fir-rro del Rio who is reporting this series. believes that bu results are obtained when Ilie te tosterone is Igiven during the most naturally active period of grou tli, iianimy ii.-

tween the ages of 9 and 10 years. He i found that this drug speeds up the rate of growth while it is being used and also establishes a normal rate Of krowth after it has been discon- tinned.

we must remember that these boys were otherwise normal except for their height. were on well-bal- anced diets, and lived under healthy conditions in every way.

"Free and Easy" Fall Fashions

By DOROTHY ROE

NEW YORK. (AP)-With aching feet and bulging notebooks, mem- bers of the international fashion press today wound up a hectic week of style showings which pro- mised that American women can breathe easy next fall.

From the welter of by New York's designers, visiting editors formed a picture of the shape of things to come, the gist of which is that women can loosen their belts a notch next fall, take off their waist-clincher: and enjoy life.

"The 'free and easy' silhouette is the .big news of the fall collec- tions, underwritten by such trend- setters as Vincent Monte - Sana, Hattie Carnegie, Christian Dior. Adele Slmpson, Pauline Trlgere, Nettie Rosenstein. Claire Macar- dell, Vera Maxwell, Ben Zucker- man and others who decide each season how American women will look.

Through the canyons and sky- scrapers of seventh avenue the Weary editors have trudged, view- ing new fall fashions from break- fast to midnight, noting the num- bers that have been ordered by buyers for their local stores. primed to instruct their readers on what to look for when they go shopping for new fall finery.

They are telling them that the bloused silhouette is the newest thing on the fashion horizon; it is aseen in suits, dresses and coats in practically every collection. This is the casual, easy line of the be- loved shlrtwalst dress, which con- ceals waistline bulgcs, gives room to breathe without fear of splitting a seam.

TWEEDS. SATIN COMBINED

They are taking home an excit- ing story of new twecds in every weight and tone. showing in every thing from suits and coats to cock- tail gowns, combined with station for dress-up wear. Tweed suits have satin linings and wesklts. are worn with matching satin hats.

Tweed costs sometimes have de- tachable satin lapels or scarfs. And satin touches are found on wool daytime dresses of every variety.

The costume story takes top headlines for fall. Women have taken to their hearts the versatile outfit of dress-up dress and cove!- up jacket or cost, which looks like a suit during business hours, "peels" to become a cocktail or dinner dress after live. This outfit is done in every conceivable fabric and color for fall, sometimes with fur- trimmed or reversible fur-lined jac- ket. aometlmes with full-length cost. sometimes with skirt. jacket and matching dressy blouse.

In any case the head-to-toe cos- tume look is all important, acces- sories are carefully keyed to the total effect and a woman can dress

Husband's Office Gatherings

DEAR MISS DIX: "Will you please tell me whether or not I'm unreasonable-my husband con- tends I am. we seldom go out since I don't like to go anywhere I can't take the children. An oc- casional movie or concert provides Just about out entire social life.

Once a month the men in my hus- band's office, and their wives, have dinner together then go on to a. club. My husband has asked me several times to 'go, but I've always re- fused, first, because I don't drink, and second because I don't like to leave the youngsters. The only time I did go, I felt very out of place.

I got along all right with the girls, but was very shy with the men. Also, I think my husband should "have paid more attention to me. Two or three times he danced with the other ladies and, since I didn't care to dance with strangers, I was left sitting at the table with the people who didn't dance: ,Altogether, it added up to an uncomfortable evening which I don't care to repeat. I haven't said anything to-my husband about my discomfort. though he knows some- thing was wrong.

R. D". EXCUSES THAT DON'T RING , mus ANSWER: It's ll serious mistake for a wife to refuse to accompany- her husband on such social out- ings". Your excuses sound reason- able but they don't ring true. Actually it is just that you prefer being a stay-at-home gal and want your husband to settle into the same routine. If you let him get a taste of dining and danc- ing wlthout you, he may get to like the idea and fall into a habit that's insidious and easy to ac- quire. If you don't drink, state quietly your preference for a soft. drink. Don't make a big to-do over the fact. a simple statement of choice is enough. As for the children. there's no reason why a ,competent baby sit- ter can't take care of them for one night s month. Never forget that your husband needs you, too. The more time you spend with this group, the easier it will be to talk and dance with them. They have the advantage of having spent several social evening together, while you're ii. Johnny-come-lately. Their interests are much the same as yours-home. children. recipes, church or organisation work discuss these mutual topics to- gether. then try to branch off into wider fields. Talk about the movies or concerts you've attended. the books you've read. magazine arti- cles that have appealed to you. especially those which open the way to still further conversation. Keep away from the subject of office affairs or personalities; a- void complaints or adverse crit- icism of people, and you have the makings of a good convorsatio l- ist. Do enter into the spirit of fun and camaraderie and let your husband understand that you're a
