Fox Timed in Race.

FURTHER light on the speed with
- which animals can run Is found in
the experience Of Washington motor
list over on a side road of the Eastern
Shore. This nlotorist Is ready to state
that a fox can run at least 80 miles an
hour.
1t all came about when the notorist,
driving along leisurely, saw something
running in a field to the right Of the
road and sped up bit to see what it
might be.
Just as he came to the end Of hedge
along the road. the fox jumped out into
the middle of the road, intent on reach
ing cornf1eld on the other side. See
Ing the car and perhaps, even more
startling to him. hearing 1t, for it was

he made hurried break for the corn
field. but found barber wire fence
blocking his way. Turning in o panic
1t sped down the middle of the road, its
body almost touching the ground as it
stretched out in swift run.
Accelerating, the motorist came within
a few feet of the fox and then MAIN
tanned the gap separating them. The
speed increased until the car was max
ing 80 miles an hour, with the fox Just
few jumps ahead.
Whether the fox could have stepped
on IT. a bit more Is not known for the
motorist allowed the fox to set the pace.
Perhaps II the animal had been pressed,
it might have stretched the speed UP a
few miles an hour. The race continued
for perhaps quarter of mile, when
the fox seeing gap in the fence, went
through it in two or three quick jumps.
then slowed down to q sort OF high
bouncing run, and was soon lost In the

pressure families-families, In other
words, whose unusual blood pressure
is by no means abnormal for them
but quite the natural thing. Such
persons, stepping into doctors office
for examination, he points out. might
have 50 high blood pressure that he
would at once think they had some
very serious affection until he discover
ed that with them such pressure was
usual and in a way harmless.
Other agencies cited as probable
causes of high blood pressure are germs,
poisons generated in the body under
the general head of auto-1ntoxication,
and major ailments such as kidney
trouble. Even too much salt has been
urged as a reason, as have been rich
diet, tobacco, drugs and alcohol. But
the uncertainty of the medical pro-
fession as regards causes IN the case
is well illustrated by the fact that the
examinations of the 1862 policy hold
ers showed, strangely enough, that the
among excessive tobacco users and al
cohol quarters was little, If any, higher
than for the others.
There is one thing however, on which
the doctors are agreed, and that Is
racing the body, driving 1t through
emotional crises and worry and strain
continually, does bring on high blood
pressure more quickly perhaps in some
than in others, but none the less surely

out of a clear sky, reflected on her
social status-don't, don't take 1t to
heart. Quite probably these belligerent
ones are really peaceful persons swept
into bellicosity by that battling mystery
high blood pressure.
The reason for this statement Is the
recent discovery of w. v. Bingham,
director CT the Personal Research Foun-
dation-an organization whose busi-
ness is to fit people to jobs and jobs
to people-that motormen and bus
drivers with high blood pressure are
the cause of a considerable percentage
of traffic accidents. Mr.. Bingham's
research was done fer the Boston street
railway and bus operating corporations,
and he has no exact knowledge of the
situation in other cities. But, prcsuma-
by, what is true In Boston-at least, in
in the matter of human blood pressures
is true elsewhere.
Considerations of Age and experience
being equal, Mr.. Bingham discovered
that half the accidents happened to less
than third of the operators. In other
words, accidents occurred to the same
men repeatedly. Naturally. then, these
men were observed and studied, and
among other interesting things it was
found that high blood pressure was, in
deed, cause of accidents. High ac-
cident men" with what might be called
corresponding arterial high pressure
were advised or treated. Their blood
pressure was reduced and, in certain
cases, where there was no additional
ailment, they became members of the
low-accident class Which certainly
would argue that high-blood pressure
had made them uneasy and uncertain
and hence subject to accidents, bicker-
ings and brawls
Typical OF this interesting situation,
according to Mr. Bingham. was the
case of Motorman x. He had been with
the company for many years and was
regarded even in his accident-ridden
latter days as loyal, trustworthy en-
ploye. He has not gone through a rigor
ous company physical examination in
some time, and Mr.. Bingham and his
associates, OF course, recommended such
a review. The mans blood pressure
was found to run somewhere between
ITO and 100 Mig, as the medical men
say, which, even for a man of his years,
was dangerously high. But there was
nothing else wrong with him-no seri-
GUS organic disease or breakdown.
Observing and questioning, the in
vestigators found that the man was I'M
der extraordinary nervous strain and
tension, that he was touchy and pre-
occupied. Soon the truth came out.
His wife had died, and since that mis-
fortune he had been trying to run the
home as we'll as the street car. He
had daughters in school. and in order
to keep them there he cooked their
meals by day and at night did the
| washing and keeping of the house in
order. He was planning to continue
this double task until his eldest daugh-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-02-03

ter could be graduated, which would be
in q short time, and then she would
take her mothers place. But, to make
long story short, he received financial
aid that enabled him to get rest and
surcease of worry, without eurtailing
his daughters schooling-and he became
in a very short time a man of practi-
cally normal blood pressure and pleasant
disposition. He Is no longer a high
accident man.
Accepting high blood pressure, then,
as cause of irritability loneliness and
instability on the job, two questions
naturally follow: How prevalent among
us is it? And what brings 1t upon us?
AS to the first, perhaps the best esti-
mate or indication Is contained in the
record of the examinations of 1862
policy holders of life insurance COM
pany. OF the total, 1913 per cent
showed abnormal blood pressure. though
not all these cases were of the high
pressure variety. Somewhere between
and per cent suffered from low
blood pressure, which is, as far as this
story goes, another thing again. Ger
tainly, because 20 per cent or SO of
the l6,662 had high blood pressure, it
does not follow that the same percent
age of all people SO suffer, but the sur
Vey is probably in the neighborhood of
the truth, as every doctor has reason
to suspect.
AS to the second question, the doc
tors disagree. Some incline to the be-
lief that a tendency toward high or
low blood pressure is hereditary, hold
| ing, as does DR.. William j. Sadler
well known student of the matter, that

THE defense had to meet the seri-

Bent when he arrested the Habrons had
not mentioned the time of the muir

pointed out that the moment William

because of his threat; innocent but
frightened people, the lawyer said, have
way of behaving much as If they
were guilty.
On this point the judge and the jury

brothers at first hand They had, of
course, throughout protested their in
nocence of the crime and put forward
an alibi. On the night of the murder
they had really gone to bed early. as
william had declared when arrested.
The prosecutor then cross-examined
the three brothers. Skillfully he put
his questions, subtly he played on their
nerves: by voice and manner he dangled
a hangman's moose before them until
the young farm hands became con-
fused and began to contradict them
selves and each other Momentarily
their alibi lost credibility and their
manner took on all the familiar aspects
of guilt.
TO the Identification by the store
clerks of William as the man who priced
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-02-03

the cartridges the defense replied that
only one of the two clerks was positive
1t was William Habron; the other was
not so positive. And the defense re-
minded the Judge and jury that who
ever priced the cartridges did not buy
them.
The strongest point the defense made
was that the most pa;nstaking search
by the police failed to bring to light
any weapon belonging to the Habrons
which could have been used in the
murder of Policeman Cock.
The boot print in the mud as may
be expected, gave the defense much
worry: Against Supt. Bent's testimony
could be brought forward only the facts
that, first. Supt. Bent had neither
photographed the print in the mud

nor taken a cast of 1t so that the court
could judge for itself how closely it
correspondent to William Habron's boot.
Second. his boots were such as many
other farm laborers wore.
Similarly the defense pointed out
that brown coat and a pot hat were
so commonly worn in the nighborhood
that even If Simpsons description of
the man as glinpsed by him by lantern
light could be depended upon a COIN
cidence might explain the fact that
William Habron had such coat and
hat.

bad night Of it, brooding over Police
man Cock. In addition to the old
grudge he bore him, Cock had chosen
to arrest him on this OF all occasions,

Witnesses from the inn told their
story before the magistrate, and Mr..
Deakin, Habron's employer, testified

The magistrate discharged Habron.
But instead of balm to his wounds, the
discharge only made Habron smart
