Heart Is Injured by
Americas .SlOift Pace

More deaths occur today In America
from various diseases of the heart
than from any other cause, says the
New York Times. A few years ago
tuberculosis headed the list, but while
the number of deaths from this cause
have been reduced, those from heart
trouble of various kinds have in
creased.
The decrease In the ravages Of
tuberculosis is explained by the great
educational campaigns carried on
throughout the country for combating
the evil and to improved sanitary con-
dltions.
The increase In heart troubles Is at
tributed largely to the Increasing pace
of modern life In America. A decade
ago the death rate from tuberculosis
was 1892 per 100000 At that time
the death rate from heart troubles
was 1909. A recent survey showed
that while the rate for tuberculosis
has been reduced to 114.2, that for
heart disease has jumped to 1410.
The highest fatality from heart dis.
ease has been found In Vermont, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, In the
order named. The lowest death rate
is reported In Montana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Nebraska. It
is increasing In New York.

Modernixina the Apache

A campaign Is under way at the
Fort Apache Indian reservation In
Arizona to improve the living condi-
lions Of the Apache. OF all American
Indians he is the most primitive.
Tenaciously he holds to the codes Of
his fathers. He has always dwelt In
the traditional wigwam. This tribe
owns plenty Of timber to construct
modern houses, and the government
has placed a sawmill on the reserva.
ton. The work of construction will
be done by the Indians themselves,
under the supervision of qualified gov
eminent employees. Hardware and
general house-fttings will be pur-
chased with funds belonging to the
tribe.
Charles II. Burke, commissioner Of
Indian affairs, says the Indians seem
to.b be interested In the proposed change
and 1t is probable a number Of modern
houses will be erected the coming sum-
mer. The Apache, In the past, has
been the most feared Indian on the
North American continent.

Westerners Are Ugly
in Ives OF Japanese

It hrs happened more than once that
JaTanese baby has howled and
shrieked in terror at the sight of a
beautiful, fair-halred, blue-eyed girl.
This may strike you as comic or
tragic, but 1t Is fact. japanese stand
ards of feminine beauty are different
from ours.
A japanese beauty must have
straight, black hair. Should she have
the misfortune to possess hair with
the slightest tendency to wave, she
will take endless trouble to straighten
it out-as much trouble, In fact, as an
American girl would take to produce
the opposite effect.
Her face should be narrow and
long; her forehead high and narrow
at the middle, but wider and lower at
the sides, so that it corresponds as
nearly as possible to the outline of
Full, the mountain beloved by Japa-
nese artists.
Her eyes, Of course, must be long
and narrow, slanting upward at the
corners; the eyebrows mere shadows,
and high above the eyes; her complex
ion ivory-white with little or no color.
( The japanese girl carries her head
and shoulders slightly forward, and
inclines her body forward from the
waist She walks with short, quick
steps, her toes turned in and her feet
hardly lifted from the ground. To
walk otherwise would be immodest -

now, but for forty years. unless he

reason for his doing so; he is not ex-

anyone; 1t Is n habit. He is follow

But sometimes following the old

still insist on trudging to the post
office, ten blocks away. twice daily for
their mail, though the free delivery

and yet not be condemned to a life
of economic slavery. Strangely
enough, the French did not look
with d%isfavor upon. his plan and if
Germany regains her place in the
Industrial world, it will be largely
because of the calm, sensible, bus
iness-like plan worked out by
Charles G.. Dawes.
While Dawes is dynamic, hard
hitting and ~forceful to the extreme,
there is an intensely human side
to his character. In memory of his
son, Rufus, General Dawes erected
and operates the Rufus F. Dawes
hotel for destitute men in Chicago.
There is also a hotel of like char

toned that clean, comfortable beds
in these places can be obtained for
5 and 10 cents and excellent meals
are served at the cost of z cents
each, and no man who is ION his

that he is the recipient Of charity.
A similar institution was founded by
Dawes for women.
With Coolidge in the white house
and Dawes as vice-president, the
people of the United States can go
to bed at night with the feeling
that these two men will see that
none of their money is wasted and
that taxes will be brought to as low
a point as it is humanity possible
to bring them. Even many demo-
