A WARNING UNHEEDED.

COME months ago the Times-Re-
corder saw fit to point out in this
column the great danger incurred ev-
cry Sunday on Lee and Taylor streets
by the practice of churehgoers of
parking their cars on both sides of
the streets near the First Methodist
and First Baptist churches.
That warning has been absolutely
unheeded. No great accident has oc-
Cured in the meantime, but it is only
by the grace of God that it has not.
1t needs only a casual observance
any Sunday during the hours of serv-
ice to judge of the great danger.
The street, which is the city's main
thoroughfare, is so congested that it
is with the greatest difficulty that
vehicles are able to pass each other
even at slow speed. Some day a
fire will occur necessitating run bv
the fire department down that street
while the parking is the thickest. And
in its hurry to get to the fire, and its
difficulty to get through at all, the
heavy fire trucks are going to side
swipe a whole line of cars and cause
a great smash-up-and possibly the
loss of lives.
Last Sunday little child was bad.
>ly hurt by being hit by car care
fully driven, because the congestion
obscured the vision of the driver and
did not permit even a fairly safe
crossing for the little ones.
The fault lies with the city coun-
council, because it has the authority
to correct the situation and it hasn't
done it. A simple ordinance prohib-
iting parking on more than one side
of the street in these dangerous To-
cations will cure the trouble if pains
are taken by the police department
for a few Sundays to- see that the
regulation is observed.

FOREIGN MONEY.

THE Russian ruble is so worthless
that the Soviet will print 1907
100000 ruble banknotes worth about
S25 apiece. If the ruble were at it's
original or par value, in foreign ex-
change, one of these banknotes would
be worth $51 100000.
The plight of the ruble will be ap-
preciated in Brazil, where the unit of
money is the rel. When exchange is
normal, 1000 refs are worth about
25 cents in American money. It
takes hundreds of reis to pay car

HEART DISEASE.

Heart disease holds first place
among all diseases as a cause of
death in the registration area OF the
United States, and. with the exception
Of the year Of the influenza epidemic.
has held this unenviable position
since 1914. In 1919 over 10 per cent
Of all deaths recorded in this country
were ascribeed to this cause.
Heart disease seldom occurs as a
primary affection. usually having its
beginning during the course Of some
disease such as rheumatic fever.
chorea, syphilis. gonorrhcea, scarlet
fever and. less frequently, pneumonia.
Local infections due to diseased ton
sils and teeth are responsible for a
certain number of cases OF heart dis
case, while excessive muscular strain.
as overindulgence in athletics. has
at times proven a determining factor.
1t may also be caused by the persist
emit use of alcoholic liquors, or it may
be a part Of a general disease known
as arteriosclerosis. in which there Is
hardening and loss of elasticity of
the walls of the arteries, including
the arteries supplying the heart
muscle.
Disease Begins Early.
As four of the diseases mentioned
above-rheumatic fever. chorea, tom
silitis and scarlet fever-are particu-
larly diseases Of children and young
adults, it follows that many cases Of
heart disease have their beginning
early in life. This is borne out by
the estimate that from IN to 2 per
cent of the children examined in the
schools show existing heart defects.
Heart disease often becomes well es-
tablished during the course OF some
Illness without causing symptoms
which lead to suspicion Of beginning
damage to the heart. This Is too
often the case in children and, is
probably more likely to pass unno-
than in any other of the diseases of
childhood. Each attack Of tonsilitis
should be regarded as possibly the
starting point of heart damage.
