OF the car with nervous WEAKNESS.

might have happened to her. II

DrOppinp Back a Century

Can the United States combat Communism and
unemployment by dropping back century in social
outlook and methods? This is what seems to be
implied in a recent announcement Of the Birming-
ham industrial board of Birmingham, Ala.
This body, at a moment when adult males are
roaming the streets looking for work, urges greater
employment Of women nd young girls. The board
has issued a folder ent led: "a New Reservoir of
Woman Labor" The folder points out that:
There are 73124 white females in the district,
10 years of age or over, without any employment.
Although Birminghams white population is pri-
rarly industrial very few of the white women are
employed at all. OF these few employed white
women negligible number are engaged in industry"
The board goes on to point out that Birming-
ham stands at the foo of the list of seventeen
industrial cities with respect to the percentage Of
females employed. New Bedford employs 428 per
cent of its female population; Birmingham but 1872
per cent.
Instead Of taking due pride in this low percentage
of employed females as proof of social progress,
the Birmingham industrial board apparently regards
it as scandal. 1t points out that this vast army
of unemployed women can be put to work at wages
far less than those necessary for in this area:
THE wage scale necessary to attract these I'M
employed women is far lower than that existent in
centers specializing in women labor. Should pro-
fessional and clerical classes be eliminated, the
average weekly pay for would not exceed So"

Texas and California

The fact that Texas is ahead of California in the
new census returns leads one to the notion that
these two states probably will be putting on an in
teresting battle for honors in population, production
and prosperity during the next two three decades.
California made an amazing growth in population
during the last ten years-but so did Texas Nature
has been extraordinarily kind tc California in the mat
tiers of climate and natural resources-but she has
been equally kind to Texas. If more than five and
one-half million Americans have chosen to make Cali
fornia their home state, an greater number has
picked Texas.
Each state will continue to grow. Each has an
enormous amount of land. Each is fertile, blessed
with mineral resources, capable of supporting many
more people than it now contains. Each, in fact, is
an empire in itself It will be interesting to watch
their future development.

Dry Gunner

Immediately after taking Office the federal

of its pledges against official lawlessness Two occu-

should he the first to realize the serious nature of this

The more dangerous aspect is that public respect

by this governmental defiance Of the law.

needed reforms in prohibition enforcement, COM

No War for Japan

The discussion over the London treaty has caused
Americans to drag the old japanese boge out of
the attic and look it again with fear hearts
Before we get real panicky about it, however, we
might pay attention to recent remarks by W. R.
Castle Jr who just has returned to this country after
serving as our special ambassador to Japan.
at is amazing to me, once more at home in Wash
ington to find the ant-treaty people still harping on
the japanese bogie," says Mr. Castle Japan hardly
could live except for her exports to America amount
ing to nearly $4OOOOoOOO She imports from near
y $5OOOOOO0O worth of goods and depends America
for the cotton which she manufactures and reexpors
to China. War with America which would be serious
for us. would be ruin for Japan"
That is sober sense. In the face of it, why get
so worried about one or two extra cruisers in the
japanese fleet?

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical
Association and Of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.

FOR some years it has been re-
Il allied that overweight after
middle life is associated with in
creasing death rates from the de-
generative diseases.
The degenerative diseases include
such causes as heart disease, high
blood pressure with resultant brain
hemorrhage, diseases of the kid
neys, and hardening of the arteries
Persons who are underweight
have a higher death rate usually
from diseases affecting the lungs
but this unfavorable fact is bal
anced by their lower rate from de-
generative diseases.
In connection with this point Of
view, statisticians for two of the
largest life insurance companies
recently have made an analysis OF
the relationship of underweight and
overweight to certain causes OF
death.
If the death rate of people of
normal weight is taken as 100, it is
found that people who are over
weight have death rate from heart
disease ISL per cent of the average.
In the same way, the death rate
from diseases of the kidneys of peo-
pie who are overweight is 172 per
cent of the average; from diseases
of the arteries, los per cent; from
apoplexy or hemmorhage of the
brain, 157 per cent, and from can
Ger, Ill per cent.

Death Rate Higher for Stout People

weight, tuberculosis is first by a
wide margin. The greater the de-
gree of underweight. the higher is
the tuberculosis death rate.
The rate for tuberculosis Is 202
per cent of the normal among those
who are underweight. Among those
who are IS per cent or more I'M
derweight, it is 291 per cent of the
normal; on the other hand, among
those who are overweight, tubercu-
losis has a mortality rate OF less
than half the normal.
Psychologists who have studied
the subject believe that the high
rates among overweight people from
degenerative disease are due largely
to the extra burden of work put on
the heart, the kidneys and blood
vessels by extra bulk of the body.
Much overweight is due to the
hereditary character of the human
being.
A large percentage, however, is
due to bad dietary habits and bad
hygiene, and the Psychologists are
convinced that such overweight can
be modified by proper diet and ex-
ercise, with great benefit to health
and longevity.
Since underweight apparently is
less dangerous than overweight, I'M
less it is excessive, there is little
advantage in being slightly under
weight.
The chief problem would seem to
be ascertaining the best weight for
health of the person concerned, and
to maintain that weight by sensible
hygiene.

Il dcned their original notion to
sponsor the trip of FARO Agha to
this land. Their decision to give no
official sanction to the ancient Turk
must be hailed as wise. He quite
probably would prove a disturbing
exhibit to those who have set up
abstinence as an ideal.
Though liquor has yet to touch the
lips of FARO it can hardly be said
that he has led life of strict de-
NAL. He did not reach the ripe age
of 1876 by any process of saying,
NO Indeed, he has boosted to
the ship news men about his weak
ness.
For him there may have been no
rickeys to furnish but temporary
cheer. Zaro Agha has chosen the
better part. For rickeys he has sub
stituted rice.
Other men when feeling out of
sorts have been known to say,
Lets go round the corner and gel
a few Martins" FARO has followed
quite a different system. When blue

amble around the corner and
pounding on the desk exclaim, "One
marriage license and make it snap

adamant indeed, but the old gentle
man is clearly an addict when it
comes to orange blossoms.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

| The most striking difference in
the death rates is from diabetes
People who are overweight and
have this disease have death rates
257 per cent of the average.
1t long has been recognized that
overweight after middle life has a
definite hazard in relationship to
diabetes, and experts in the treat
ment of diabetes warn again and
again against this hazard.
Among people who are overweight
there are also excuses in the fig
ures for angina pectoris, appendi-
citis, hardening Of the liver and ty-
phoid fever.
AS the figures are studied for peo-
pie who are underweight after mid
die age, it is found that the death
rate for heart disease is 81 per cent
of the average; from kidney disease

arteries, "a per cent; from brain
hemorrhage, 70 per cent, and from

CHARLOTTE CUSHHIAN
July %

.NHARLOTTE CUSHMAN, cele-
~ brated American actress, was
born in Boston, July %, 1916.
She was one of five children left
poor by their mother by the early
death of their father, a West India
merchant.
However, she had a fine contraltc
voice and, in 1885, she made her ap-
pearance as an opera singer in the
Marriage of Figaro"
Shortly afterward her voice failed
but she undertook a dramatic part,
Lady Macbeth, and was SO success
full that it became one of her great
est roles.
After successes in New York and
London, she went to Rome, where
she had a home for some years. She
was honored in Europe's most cul-
tivated society.
She became known, in her later
years, as reader, with singular in
terpretative powers.
She died in Boston, Feb. Is, 1876
In 1880 her grave in Mt. Auburn
was marked by an obelisk which IN
form is a copy of Cleopatra's Needle
as it stood in Heliopolis.

walton of the home. At the moment
he is maintaining his twelfth. But
there is a catch in the conditions
which makes the De Wolf copper
of Istanbul seem something less
than a living example of alcohol.
Out of twelve wives only one is
left. FARO Agha has worn mourn
ing no less than eleven times. So it
would seem that the regime which
has carried him all the way from
the Napoleonic era to the dry age
was not successful all along the line.
He thrived on total abstinence while
one wife after another pined away
and died.
It may be that little liquor in
the house would have impaired the
span of FARO Agha. but at least he
might in that event have had a few
wives to show for his money.
In that house of too much trou-
BILE there ran through the women's
quarters the sad refrain, Always
a widower, never a widow" And
though the old gentleman seems
sprightly and well disposed there
must have been certain things in
his establishment which hardly
made for good cheer.
Each bride who came in turn to
hearten his declining years must
have been at least annoyed to find
her husband calling every undertake
er in town by his first name.
