Heart Blamed for Many Illnesses

the blood moving about the body.
When the circulation stops, life
stops with it.
Before the time of William Har-
vey it was believed that the heart
was the seat of the soul, and that
it sent blue blood outward along
the veins and real blood outward
along the arteries.
Later came the knowledge that
the heart sends the arterial blood
outward and that the veins are the
channel by which it returns.
A person who suddenly has a
pain in the heart or in the region
of the heart is likely TO become ex-
cessively frightened.
Neurotic pains and pains OF
slight degree occurring elsewhere
in the body are referred to the
heart with the resultant worry over
the possibility of sudden death.
Physicians know that all pains

big Bill Thompson does not
hate King George and never did.
His Britannia Majesty's name mere
ly was employed as a symbol. There
was no personal, or international
bias back of it's use.
We have this on no less an
authority than william Wall, as
sistant corporation counsel of Chi
cago and one of Mayor Thompson's
chief boosters, who, while delivering
a welcome address, told the Com
mercial Telegraphers Union all
about the sad way in which His
Honor's attitude and remarks had
been misinterpreted.
A large Canadian delegation was
present and Union Jack was hung
back of the rostrum in its honor,
but that, of course, had no influ-
ence with WALL He merely was try
ing to set big Bill right.

Maine and the Religious Vote

Professional politicians prefer to discuss voting
possibilities in terms of groups blocks. For in
stance "the labor vote" or "the Catholic vote" AS
a matter of practical TACT however, elections show
that American citizens do not vote in groups.
IN the present campaign, for example, it is al
ready evident that labor is split as between Hoover
and Smith
And nothing constitutes more striking testimony
of the fact that Catholics do not vote in blocks
than the results in the Maine election just held.
Maine is normally Republican State. Tues
days big Republican majority certainly indicates that
she will stay that way.
According to the last available statistics as to
church members in the various States, there
Catholics in Maine than all Protestants put to-
gether.
The last church membership compilation by the
Bureau of Census gives Maine total of 255293. OF
these 14S,530 were Catholics 35,492 Baptists 22551
Methodists 21642 Congregatonalists, 1928 Episco-
palians, 2,488 Unitarians and $40 Presbyterians.
The figures do not include Jews, Christian
Scientists or non-afalates the latter being prob
ably for the most part Protestants. Anyhow it is
evident that the Catholic church membership is over
a majority in Maine.
The Maine vote, therefore, would indicate pre-
ponderance of Republicans among the Catholic cit
liens, and that the nomination of Catholic for
President by the Democrats has not changed the
politics of Al Smiths co-relgionists in Maine.
It is further fact that in every other northeast
ern State the membership of the Catholic church is
larger than that of all Protestant churches combined
The election in Maine accordingly indicates a wide
significance Despite all the group and block talk by
professional political leaders, when November
it will be found that Americans don't permit their
religious a1liaton to become the determining factor
in how they vote
And that is well. 1t is in keeping with the spirit
Of the Constitution of the United States.

Innocent Punished

The worst feature of our penal
code consists in the fact that more
often than not innocent women and
children are compelled to bear the
burden.
1t is disgrace to civilization that
we should have found no better
method for Furnishing crime than to
make women and children work in
order that strong, healthy men may
be shut up.

society would have punished them
just as effectively, while their de-

we have found no way to combine
punishment with productive labor.

anatomy which evinced any real knowledge of the
subject.
Vesalius has been called the father of modern
anatomy
1t is difficult for today to realize the Importance
of this book But when one stops to think that
medicine and surgery practiced with only q
vague and sketchy notion of human anatomy prior to
it's publication, is able to realize its Importance.
Anatomy had been fairly we'll known to some OF
the early Greeks. But during the Middle Ages, the
common knowledge of anatomy, to use Sir William
Oslers term for it, was "atrocious."
Obviously knowledge of the human body can only
be obtained from the dissection of it.
These were almost generally prohibited during the
Middle Ages. An occasional dissection was made But
for the most part, it was not thorough
The professors themselves did not do the work, but
stood by while someone else did the work.
Osler calls attention to the fact that many OF the
manuscripts of the Middle Ages contain drawings Of
the supposed arrangement of the human organs which
are fantastic and ridiculous.
But all this changed with Vesalius.
vesalius made his own dissections. He was
thorough.
AS a result of his work medical men, for the
first time in history. put in possession OF an
accurate and detailed knowledge Of the structure Of
the human body.

in the region of the heart are not
necessarily due to heart disease.
In cases in which the heart is it
self affected, there are likely to be
physical symptoms related to the
accomplishment of work, to breath
ing and to body nutrition.
A physician who makes a care
full examination of the heart, lis
tening to the sounds made by the
various valves in action, making
an investigation of the blood pres
sure, and measuring the size of the
heart, both by tapping on the chest
for areas Of dizziness and by the
use of the X-ray, learns facts Of
Importance.
He is able to determine then
whether the pain associated with
the disease of the heart is due to
an actual physical change in its
tissues or the result wholly Of
nerve action.

Never f1nesse against your part

mean that every time your partner
led a card, you, as third hand,
should play the highest card Of that

The futility of carrying out such
instructions becomes quite apparent
in the following illustrations:

Obviously, east should play the
Ace of diamonds only if the King
of diamonds is played from the
dummy. Otherwise, east should play
the Jack of diamonds.
West leads clubs 8; dummy holds
clubs K 5; east holds clubs A ] 6 2.
If dummy covers with the King
of clubs, east should in turn cover
with the Ace of clubs. If the Of
clubs is played from the dummy,
east should play the Jack of clubs.
West may be leading away from
the Queen Of clubs and there is
nothing to be lost by flnessing the
Jack of clubs.
West leads spades j; dummy
holds spades K 8 4; east holds
spades A 8 3.
Obviously, the declarer holds the
Queen of spades. Partner must be
leading from a suit headed by the
Jackie.
East should not cover with the
Ace of spades the first time, the
declarer making only one trick in
spades. Otherwise the declarer will
make two tricks.

BLAST VICTIM

Part Of the true story of the ex-
plosion and fire which wrecked the
Traugott clothing store, 215-17 W.
Washington ST., Aug. &c, was buried
today with Harold Libowitz, %, of
80 N. Jefferson Ave, investigators Of
the store blast believe.
Funeral services for Libowitz we're
held this afternoon at the Linath
Hazedeck Society synagog, 731 S.
Meridian St.
The youth was under charge of
arson in connection with the fire
at the time Of his death Wednesday
afternoon. He had been a prisoner
in city and Methodist Hospitals snice
the night he was found, clothing
and hair flaming, beneath the
blown-out rear wall of the Traugott
store.
In his few rational moments Lib
owitz protested he was innocent,
that he was "double-crossed" by
someone, who he never made clear.
He had a key to the front door Of
the Traugott store, which he and
Traugott explained with the declar-
alton that he was a clothing sales
man and kept his samples in tho
store, Traugott being his close
friend.
In his dclirium Libowitz uttered
numerous ma. mes and disconnected
assertions about wild airplane and
automobile rides. Authorities have
called in some Of the persons mem
toned in these rawlings.
Besides his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel LiboWitz, with whom he
lived, the youth is survived by Clar-
ence and Bertram, brothers, and
three sisters, at the jefferson Ave.
address, and another sister living
elsewhere.
Police Chief Claude Worley said
that although he regarded Libowitz
as 'key man" in the investigation,
he did not believe the youths death
would hinder the probe.
There are ways Of finding out
certain things even though Libowitz
is dead" he stated.
