naturally, the greater the stake the greater the

GSoAH Of the middle-aged persons who
make mp the largest proportion OF cases
with early signs Of cardiac failure play golf to
excess. The call Of the game is for them almost
irresistible. An authority on the subject cal-
culated how much energy an individual ex-
ponds in walking at the rate of four miles an
hour over q conventional level course Of 5000
yards: as much as he would in lifting himself
I'VE times TO the height Of the highest sky
Scraper in New York. At the speed Of two
miles an hour he would expend as much energy
as would serve to lift him little more than
four times the height of the same building,
and since the golf courses are located on hilly
grounds, the output of the energy to cover the
necessary playing distance is greatly increased.
To all Of this the work involved in practice and
actual shots and in searching for the bali must
be added. And there's ever so much more
work involved In the hunt for lost balls, one
might facetiouSly observe. This calculation does
not take into consideration the extra tax upon
the heart that in some persons at least is en-
gendered by the intensity Of competition. The
one is purely physical, the other mental, or
should say emotional? The competition in
business life is sufficiently devastating to the
middle-aged constitution without adding to this

who is 'we'?" he was asked.
"That is q difilcult question:" the doctor
smiled Some day the industry, some think
the State should provide unemployment in
surance. We have made remarkable progress
In the conservation Of child life but we are
neglecting middle age"
Els middle age determined for the most part
automatically" he was asked. The answer
was preceded by ghost Of merry twinkle
In the doctors kindly hazel eyes.
Women are pushing the date of middle are
on In their dress and general activity Women
OF today are much younger at so than were
their mothers. Your question was brought
home to me in an uncomfortable way q ah0rt
time ago. "A student presenting . case before

Of 49, nay heart sank within me. Does middle
age begin at 40 or so, or, as like to think.
at So or 60. partly with reference to the fact
that the average span of life has been prolonged
to about the age Of Sc? Perhaps instead of
taking particular year, middle age should be
dated from time where beginning of wear~

nitely inferred

AelSurely existence, they might make their lie
almost ideal. High-powered advertising and
craftsmanship defeat the individual taste and
set up mass standards. A premium is put upon
speed-speed in home mechanical devices,
speed in office machines, the rush hour on
the way home after hard days work simply
to dispose of the dinner hour quickly enough to
speed elsewhere. All these activities carried to
middle life are literally leaden weight pulling
ON the heart.
The adjustment Of life to income is q lost
art thinks DR.. Riesman, but the adjustment Of
income to the ever-increasing demands OF
American life IS the pace that kills. In
Europe, according to him, man may loaf
like gentleman" at so. Having attained his
personal standards Of living, he works sanely
or not at all, and plays with an equal amount
or sanity and caution. The crescendo of his
activities comes long before his DEATH Being

man pleads in his earnest and scientific fight
against the ever-increasing menace of high
blood pressure with it's alarming increase in
fatalities.
~Our middle-aged Americans are leading a
tremendously high-geared nfe," continued the
6Octor "Our death rate from hardened blood

America, and especially among the moneyed
classes. We here have lost the art of living,

wAs asked, land does the successful man suffer

To the former he answered an emphatic

there are daily classic cases Of deaths from

that makes the show. The funny
thing about this Street Scene"
I remember certain very definite
ntroductions-tw characters stand
out. The people who make very
definite and very sad love to each
other.
Meet Horace Braham as Sam
Kaplan. Here is a nutty character
who gets no place in this play. But
Braham puts over this character to
such an extent that Street Scene"
does not become a guide book to
Europe. Some of the characters
are as indefinite as leaf torn out

Watch Braham do his stuff in low

to that woman who is cheating
when her husband comes home.
Erin OBrien- Moore is the Rose

with the way she does this char

He said that the possibilities OF
canning culled fruit and cuIled
fruit products are great. He said
that not only the fruit but its

could be taken care OF, thereby
adding to the profits Of the grower

Of diversity.
The demand IS changing in the
canning business. he Said. The
trend Is towards diversified orders
and Gamers must be able to fill

more to build a 5~0.000-case plant
