SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

by DIR. Louis 4. blSch-
THE layman is realizing more
l. and more the importance OF
blood pressure. Men and women,
especially those in middle life,
are visiting their physicians now
and then to have their blood
pressure taken. That is a most
sensible course to pursue.
But not ali men and women
are keeping track of their blood
pressure, by a long shot! There
are thousands who take no IN
terest in the matter whatsoever.
The result is that these care
less ones often find to their sur
prise that they might have
avoided chronic and serious dis
eases had they visited the doc
tor more regularly and had prof.
tied by the hints the blood pres
sure readings would have gwen.
1t is a well-known fact tnat
arterio sclerosis or hardening OF
the arteries reveals itself as high
blood pressure. Everybody knows,
also that hardening of the arteries
may result in a rupture or one
of the blood vessels in the brain
and cause apoplexy or other seri'
GUS organic trouble.
How many cases of apoplexy
could have been avoided it is. OF
course, impossible to say. Ger.
tainly it runs into thousands.
How much better 1t is, however,
to learn that ones blood pres
sure is running high early, be-
fore the damage has gone too
far, and then take steps to COR
rect the faults that are causing
the high tension in the arteries.
That much anybody can do. At
least anyone can take the trouble
to- have an occasional blood pres
sure reading made and the physi-
clan will do the rest in advising
what is best either to take the
blood pressure down. or prevent
it from increasing or both.
High blood pressure is not the
only condition that bears watch.
ing.
Low blood pressure is also I'M
portant.
In low blood pressure the walls
of the blood vessels are not hard
ened and thickened as when the
blood pressure runs high, but In
any given instant of time there
is not much blood carried to the
tissues throughout the body as
there should be.
Therefore, in persistent low
blood pressure cases, a proper
amount of nourishment is not car
ried to the various organs while
at the same time poisonous vast
products are not carried away
fast enough.
No wonder, then, that so many
low pressure individuals complain
of that ''tired feeling" lack OF
ambition and mental sluggishness.
In many functional nerve dis
orders the blood pressure like
wise is low.
High blood pressure may come
from kidney disease. In fact, this
Is one of the commonest causes.
often the first hint is given that
something is amiss with the kid
neys when the physician finds his
patients blood pressure above
normal.
The stress and strain of modern
life may also cause high blood
pressure. The same may be said
for overeating and overdrinking.
Alcoholism is another frequent
cause.
The ruie-of-thumb measure that
blood pressure should be one hum
dred plus your age is not really
accurate.
Your doctor has q scale which
lists the normal pressures. Any
way. you don't take your own
plood pressure. Better let your
medical adviser decide wAsther
your pressure is normal or not.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland.
No IF" in Love
NEVER ask yourself IF man
IN loves you. There Is no "if" in
the bright lexicon of love.

11N EN- dSh 3OAi CSAA - "a
IN loves you. There Is no IF" in
the bright lexicon of love.
When a mans in love the fact
is as obvious as the rouge on
show girls lips or the false mus
tache on a movie comedian.
A woman may sometimes dis.
semble her love, for reasons OF
policy. But when love strikes a
man it knocks all the caution, dis
cretion and policy out of his head,
and leaves nothing there but vis-
ions of the woman.
If a man loves you he'll show it
in ACTIONS-and that doesn't
mean just by petting you when
you happen to be the woman near
est at hand.
His words don't count, because
telling a woman that you love her
or that she's the most wonderful
thing you've met in your life, is
just a. popular way of opening a
dinner conversation these days,
and means no more than a hand
shake or polite bow. ....-
There are three infallible signs
of love. And the first of these is
a mans desire and determination
to be WITH you. From the mo-
ment you enter his life, his clubs,
his bachelor friends, and even his
duties and his obligations fade into
insignificance beside the chance to
be in YOUR company.
Nothing can keep him away
from you except Jail or broken
leg. The widest party is dud II
you are not there, and the dullest
party is a WOW if you ARE there.
And if he can't get TO you he'll
get into communication with you
somehow, if he has to walk a
mile to telephone, or spend his
last cent for wireless. Yes,
even if he has to sit down and
write a love letter.
The second sign Of love in a
man is his thoughtfulness and
tenderness. His desire to DO
things for you, to give you things,
to make you happy.
The most self-centered man on
earth will suddenly forget his
own comfort and become as ten.
der and solicitous as a mother,
in the first throes of his love.
And the tightest tight-wad will
open his pockets wide enough to
buy you a rose or a magazine or
a bunch of field flowers, Doing
things for the woman he loves is
the strongest instinct in man and
the inspiration of most OF his
success and achievements in life.
You can't judge a mans love
by the value or costliness of his
presents-but don't for a moment,
fancy that the man who forgets
you Christmas or st. Valentines
Day. really loves you. He loves
only himself-or some other
woman.
The third sign of love. in a
man. is his blind. whole-hearted
admiration for you. AS long as
a man is in love all a woman's
ways are right in his eyes, and
everything about her is beautiful
or admirable. He can't even SEE
another woman when she is
around. He may not say it with
words, because some men are
dumb and inarticulate, and a
compliment sticks in their throats.
But he will say it in looks-and
ACTIONS.
Words and kisses don't count
any more. They have lost their
meaning since they have ceased
to be exclusive. But you can still
tell when a mans In love by his
'r'TS-and there is no ''if' about
thege.

EIGHT POLICE FAIL
TO HALT BANDITS
Six Hold-up Men Shoot Way
Out of Theater With Loot
of $2,500.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January with q
blood-spattered. bulet-marked car as
their only clue, detectives today were
seeking a gang of gunmen who es-
capped with $4,000 after a gun battle In
the lobby of a crowded Brooklyn
theater.
While $500 patrons scrambled for
shelter from the score of shots, six
gunmen fought their way out OF the
Fox Folly Theater, in the Williams
burg district last night, with two po-
licemen pursuing them and six others
seeking to bar their way to the car
where two other gunmen waited.
The manager and treasurer of the
theater had just placed the days re-
ceipts in the Office safe when the six
entered. Samuel Schullhalter, the
manager, was forced to open the safe.
A uniformed policeman In the theater
with his wife was called by an usher
and joined the special officer employed
by the theater as the robbers backed
out of the office.
The two policemen opened fire on the
retreating gunmen, who returned their
fire. Two sergeants and four patrol
men attracted by the shooting joined
in the gun fight while women and chill
dren in the theater screamed and
sought cover.
One of the policemen was wounded
in the hand. The robbers car, which
had been stolen and bore stolen license
plates, was found later with q bullet
holes in it. Blood on the floor and
cushions indicated at least one of the
gang had been hit.

MALTBE: OUTLINES
MERGERB| BENEFITS Bel. 4;
Tells Capper $50, 600, 600
Valuation Should've Left
Out of Plan.

Holding to his original recomfnenda-
ton that the $50,0O0.Oo0 valuation
should be left out of the street railway
merger plan, DR.. Milo r. Maltbie told
Chairman Capper Of the Senate Dis
trict committee today that every great
benefits" still would accrue to the COM
panies by the merger, even II all OF the
changes urged by him are made.
DR.. Maltbie declared the companies
would gain through the merger the
$3.50, 900 a year they now are required
to pay in salaries to crossing police
men. and would save from $500,000 to
81 ,Oo0, 900 annually In reduced operat-
ing expenses.
"Using the lower figure" he contin-
ued, "the companies will gain by unn-
cation. regardless Of all other consider
ations, approximately $75o,oOo per an
num-"
subcommittee Meets Wednesday.
Immediately upon receipt of the
letter Senator Capper announced tne
subcommittee in direct charge OF the
merger question will meet at 10 :3O
wednesday morning to begin its de-
liberations ana that DR.. Maltbie would
come from New York to attend.
After outlining the savings he eStl-
mates the companies would gain from
unification. DR.. Maltbie continued:
1.-THE Capital Traction Co. has a
valuation which must be recognized by
rate.making bodies at most onlv until
a new valuation can be made. The
washington Railway & Electric Co. has
no valuation fixed by the courts as OF
anv date. and the last one made by
the commission Is nearly 10 years old.
The property Of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. has not been valued at any
time by court or commission. The
establishment of a value Of $50, 600 600
for any period would create a right
which neither the properties nor the
companies have today.
"If the companies are seriously con-
sidering the abandonment OF the whole
merger proposition unless they can have
a .aluation Of $4,000. 900 established
for some period in the contract, and
thereby placed beyond the reach Of any
commission, court or Congress itself,
such recognition Is not merely formal.
It has been said that when unifica-
ton takes place the rights which the
present companies have regarding valu-
ations will lapse or become worthless.
Whatever these rights may be, they ad-
here to the property and will remain
with it regardless Of ownership"
In another part OF his letter DR..
Maltbie said:

Placed on Trial for Staying
of Farmer in York
County, Pa.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
Staff Correspondent Of The Star

YORK, Pa, January 7.--Shadows of
a distant past seemed to have settled
over the York County courthouse today
as three men went on trial for murder
of an alleged witch doctor.
In the center of the business section
Of a fiourishing American city a grand
jury returned the three indictments
and country people had fiockedi in from
the nearby countryside prepared to tes-
tify to the potency Of charms of the
devil and their faith in superstitions
which were rife in the German Rhine
land two centuries ago.
The case went to the grand jury at
1880 am. True bills against all three
OF the principals were returned at 1O:44.
Two counts were included in each in
dictment, murder and manslaughter.
Plead Not. Guilty.
Immediately after the indictment the
defendants, John Blymyer, Wilbert G..
Hess and john Curry, were arraigned
to hear the charges read to them in
full. The bills charged them with kill
Ing Nelson D. Rehmeyer, 60-year-old
recluSe. All three pleaded not guilty.
During the selection OF the jury no
reference Is being made to belief in
witchcraft. District Attorney Amos w.
Hermann, who is prosecuting the case,
may try to prove a robbery motive in
the murder Of Rehmeyer rather than
that the recluSe, widely reputed to have
possessed supernatural powers, was killed
because it was believed he was "hexing"
the family of young Hess.
Sensitive Over Witchcraft Charge.
York is a bit sensitive over the witch
craft angle Of the case and no provisions
were made for the newspaper men who
descended upon the town and Judge
Ray P. Sherwood, the trial judge, ruled
that all except representatives of the
press associations must take their
chances as spectators in the little court
room once the trial gets under way.
Blymyers' lawyer. Herbert B. Cohen,
Is quoted as saying that the defense will
attempt to establish the point that his
client actually had reason to believe
that he was being subjected to malific
supernatural influences.

HOOVER CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
|. ON GOODWILL TRIP
Tour Believed Success and to
Have Aided Pan-Amer-
lean Farley.
PRESIDENT.ELECTA ADOPTS
ATTITUDE OF SILENCE
Came Here to "Listen"-Policy
May Retard Action ON Farm
Relief Bill.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President-elect Herbert Hoover's
goodwill trip" to Central and South
America was the subject of his first
conference today with President Cool
idge since his election.
The President-elect called at the
White House at $50 o'clock this morn
ing and was closeted with President
Coolidge for nearly three-quarters of an
hour. 1t was Mr.. Hoover's first call
since he returned to Washington yes
terday afternoon.
The Hoover trip to South and Central
America was reported to have been en-
tirely successful and to have aided ma
terially in the satisfactory agreements
reached at the Pan-American Confer
ence in Washington.
Adopts Policy Of Silence.
Mr.. Hoover, it was said at his head
quarters in the Mayfiower Hotel, has
come here to listen" He is not talking
for publication. He is seeking informa-
ton.
The impression was conveyed that
Mr.. Hoover does not intend to discuss
publicly matters of legislation now be-
fore Congress. That includes the farm
relief bill.
If MIR. Hoover persists in this attitude
of silence toward the farm bill, 1t Is Ger
tain that no bill will be passed at the
present short session of Congress ana
that Mr.. Hoover will be expected TO ful-
fill his campaign promise to call Con-
gress to meet in special session thls
Sprinq to handle the farm problem
This will be a sad blow to those mem
bers of the Senate and House who have
urgently recommended to Mr.. Hoover
that he place his shoulder behind the
farm bill so that it may be put through
now and a special session OF the new
Congress be avoided. However, there
has been no little skepticism on Capitol
Hill that any farm bill can be put
through both houses before March 4
rolls around, whether Mr.. Hoover gives
the measure his approval or not.
Among MFR. Hoover's early callers ao
the Mayfiower headquarters today were
Senator Edge and Senator ELECT Aamn- am
ton Kearl. both Of New Jersey. They
had let it be known in advance that
tnev intended, to present to Mr. Hoover
the name of Dwight w. Morrow, Amer1-
can Ambassadors to Mexico, for appoint
frlent as Secretary Of State. MI, Morrow
Is a resident Of New Jersey, and the
Senators are urging his appointment
both as a matter of State pride and on
the ground that Mr.. Morrow Is emf
renty qualified for that eft1ce.
Both Senator Fess and Senator Bur
ton of Ohio will recommend to Mr.
Hoover that he appoint Walter F.
