HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

THERE are fads and fashions in
4 disease, as there are in skirts. To
day, blood pressure is ''all the rage"
To hear 1t discussed, you would think
it was a newly discovered disease.
1t isn't new and it isn't a disease.
1t is as old as life. In fact, when
there is no blood pressure there Is no
life. 1t isn't a disease. A certain
amount of blood pressure is necessary
for life.
To talk about having mo blood
pressure" is to adopt the professional
slang of the ward nurse, who says that
the patient has mo temperature" She
doesn't mean that. If any one of us
had mo temperature" we'd be too
dead to get into hospital. She
means the patient has normal tenn
perature.
So when a doctor tells you that you
have mo blood pressure" he doesn't
mean that He means that your blood
pressure is normal.
What is normal blood pressure? All,
that's the question. It's only few
years, comparatively, since we had any
instruments for measuring and record
ing blood pressure. Doctors, for ages,
have known that, at some times and In
some persons, the heartbeat was
stronger and more accentuated than at
other times and in other people. Per-
sons with strong full pulse were said
to be "plethoric" and the heartbeat
of what we now call high blood pres
sure was said to be full or bounding"
All the doctor had to judge by was his
finger tips but he could make about as
good an estimate as the present-day
laboratory man can with his mercury
manometer.
Blood pressure is the pressure inside
the arteries Just as the water pres
sure in a fire hose depends on the
strength of the engine and the size of
the hose, so the blood pressure depends
on the force of the heart and the size
of the arteries. These factors differ
in different individuals. There is no
absolutely normal figure. 1t varies
with age physical condition, work,
nerve tension and a dozen other fac
tors.
If you have a high-strung feeling,
restlessness, nervousness and inability
to sleep, frequent headaches and nose
beeds, perhaps dizziness and flushing
of the face, have your doctor take
your blood pressure in the same way
he'd take your temperature. If your
heart is working too hard, slow down
Find out what's wrong in your way OF
living and correct 1t. You don't want
TO run around with high blood pres
sure any more than you do with a high
temperature. But In either case there's
i cause. Find it and remove it

Famous FaELs

The Victoria falls are on the mid
die Zambesi in Rhodesia, Africa, a
few miles below the Kwando conflu-
ence. The river here, nearly mile
wide, suddenly plunges to depth of
400 feet and within 200 feet of the
falls the river suddenly narrows to
width of 100 to 400 feet. A dense
cloud of vapor rises far above the
falls and as 1t condenses it darkens
to the appearance of smoke. Because
of this fact the natives call the falls
LAUNDERING Smoke" Below the falls,
spanning the gorge, railroad bridge,
marvel Of engineering skill, was
completed in 1905. The name Victoria
was given to the falls by Livingstone,
who discovered them in 1855.

IMPORTANT STEPS
IN CHILD WELFARE

"The opening recently of two new
American Legion billets for orphans
of the World war and the appointment
of Miss Lmma G. Puschner, formerly
agent of the ST. Louis board of chill
dren's guardians, as field secretary for
the child welfare division, mark Inn
portant forward steps in the American
Legion's national child welfare pro-
gram" declared Mark 7. Mckee, ma
tional chairman of the Legions child
welfare committee. One cottage was
opened at Otter Lake, Mich, and one
at Clarksboro, N. j.
The new cottage at Otter Lake Is
the fourth to be opened there, three
cottages having previously been
opened. The fourth cottage was built
to preclude all possibility of crowding
at the Otter Lake billet. Twenty-six
children can be accommodated in the
new cottage. Twelve children were
waiting to go into 1t when 1t was
opened
The funds to build the new cottage
were subscribed by the American Lee
gion and it's auxiliary, department of
Michigan. That department also es-
tablished the other cottages at Otter
Lake, with the exception of the one
built by the national body of the aux
Hilary from dimes contributed by Its
members.
The Clarksboro home Is a colonial
mansion surrounded by two acres Of
beautiful grounds. 1t was purchased
with the proceeds Of the annual sales
Of peoples on Memorial day. Legion
posts and auxiliary units Of the four
counties of Burlington, Camden,
Gloucester and Salem are responsible
for this billet Ownership of the
property will be vested in a local
board but the administration of the
billet will be assumed by the national
child welfare committee of the Amer
lean Legion.
Increasing activity in child welfare
work brought home to Legion officials
the ACCESSIBILITY of securing additional
personnel to direct and supervise the
work. To that end Miss Puschner was
appointed field secretary of the Lee
glon's child welfare committee" said
Mr. Mckee. "She will assist in set
ting up the Legion's child welfare
field service"
Miss Puschner has been actively en-
gagged In the work of the board of
cbildren's guardians at ST. Louis since
its creation in 1912 She has adj
vanced from the position Of secretary
to the superintendent Of the former
ST. Louis industrial school to agent
of the board, doing the work of execu-
tive secretary of the board and d.
rector of the placing out department.
She has handled several hundred
adoptions in the Juvenile court and
has been legal representative of the
board in all courts. She holds the de-
gree of Bachelor of Laws and is a
member of the American Association
Of Social Workers, Of the National
Conference of Social Workers and of
various other professional bodies.
Miss Puschner is a member Of the
| auxiliary of Quentin Roosevelt post
OF the American Legion at st. Louis.
