YORK
l!l!l van

New York, Sept. 14.-"Prof." Au-
guste Schneider busted off the lens
Of his telescope with chamois rag
and scanned the benches in Library
Square for signs Of potential bust
ness.
With customary efficiency he ad-
justed the shining instrument and
took from his little leather bag a
sign that had somehow survived
the storms and dirt Of Manhattan.
As usual the sign read: Look at the
planets for five cents" Once the
sum had been 10 cents, but that was
before the depression.
Just what planets were displaying
themselves? The professor" fast
ened one eye against q lens and con-
suited weather chart. He twisted
1t around one way and another, and
suddenly brought his ocular explora-
tions to q full stop. AS he looked
up at the circle of curious ones first
gathering about him, a strange and
confused look crossed his face.
Can I believe my eyes?" he
gasped.
For framed upon his circular glass
was not a star nor a planet, but a
regulation Indian tepee seemingly
perched upon ledge after the cliff
dweller fashion. The professor"
looked again. It was still there. OBJ
viously the gin had been all right!
But at the moment he thought he
saw a wisp Of smoke curling up into
the New York sky. Then he fast
ened his focus and changed his chant
to: "See the Indian tepee right in
the heart Of New York. Only five
cents"
OF course, the passers-by thought
he was joking. One after another
they stopped and peeked. At this
moment I came up, paid my nickel
and saw my Indian and decided that
the prof" was getting right smart.
I didn't pretend to know what the
trick was.
Today the mystery has been
cleared.
There actually is a cliff dwelling
Indian living on a step-off ledge in
the city's very heart. Bit by bit, I
have pieced the tale together.
The Indian Is one "Redwing" OF
the Winnebagos and she is a daugh-
ter Of cliff dwellers. Mayhap she
has press agent and will one day
turn up as music show attraction
or movie actress.
Meanwhile, 1t appears that A. c.

gram about q week ago. It was sent

A Timely Suggestion

It Is being strongly urged in many
quarters that those who attempt haz-
ardous stunts in the air or upon the
seas be compelled to provide funds
for searching parties in case misfor-
tune falls. The suggestion is most
timely, to say the least. Govern
ments of the Scandinavian countries
have been obliged to dispatch search
ing parties to the Arctic zone and
repeatedly our government has
combed the seas to find aviators re-
ported lost.
The unfortunate fliers who left To-
kyo recently were not skilled avia-
tors. Their plane was more or less q
flying coffin. The journey should
never have been started. There has
been too heavy toll already Of those
who seek the bubble reputation
such feats bring. For long time
oversee hops have been permitted
without restraint or much supervi-
sion on the theory that such at.
tempts promote the cause Of avia'
ton. Too often, however, lives are
lost unnecessarily, futile sacrifices or
the altar of Unsuitable desire for fams
which soon passes.
Governments should, through the
proper agencies. exercise some con-
troll over stunt flying. No one want:
to block the enthusiasm and ardol
of aviators who are advancing thu
progress Of their vocation. but there
are times when many lives would be
saved If unskilled fliers were prevent.
ed from going to almost certain
death. The game is hardly worth
the candle.

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association


Sir Humphrey Rolleston is con-
vinced, as are also practically all who
have made a scientific study OF the
subject, that heredity is the most
important factor in determining the
span Of life. Among 184 persons
whose parents both lived more than
80 years the average age at death
was 52.7 years whereas among 128
persons whose parents died before 90
years Of age the average life was
32.8 years.
Only recently have scientific biol
ogists begun to apply the experiment
tai method in an endeavor to learn
the factors that actually control the
duration Of life. Many of the most
important studies have been made
in the department of biometry and
vital statistics of the School Of Hy-
giene and Public Health of Johns
Hopkins university. The life cycle
of the ordinary fruit fly is a short
one. The average age Of a genera
ton is 9 to IL days. After years Of
study on the life of this fly the in
vestigators were able to develop ex-
periments which showed the factors
governing the duration Of life.
It was found for instance that the
rate Of mortality was profoundly in
fluenced by the density of the popu-
lation. When q certain number Of
flies together occupied a limited space
such as was represented by the bot
tie in which they were grown, the
volume of air, the volume of food
and the area Of food surface being
constant, the crowding definitely in
fluenced the rate at which the flies
died. Whenever the optimal density
was exceeded the death rate in
creased.

family live longer than another, Pro-

MAN IS OLD AS ARTERIES
sInherent Vitality" Enables Some Families to Live
Long, While Others Die Young

fessor Raymond Pearl Of the Johns
Hopkins university concluded xstns
the thing might be characterized as
inherent vitality" The human be-
ing is conceived as an aggregation
Of matter that has the property of
automatically changing food or en-
ergy into heat. work, component mat
ter Of itself, or waste. Obviously
human beings are differently organ
lied and vary in the manner in
which they utilize the products of
the earth in sustaining life. The in
herent vitality Is the total potential
capacity Of the organism to perform
actions necessary to life.
OF course, the more rapidly the
person uses up his inherent vitality
the more likely he is to die soon.
This conclusion is of the utmost i'm
portance in considering plan of
life because it points definitely to
the fact that the length OF life de-
pends inversely on the rate of liv-
ing.
With this fundamental premise in
mind it IS possible to formulate Ger

ity. Sir william Osler said that
much depends ION the quality of ar
terial tissue (vital rubber) which the
individual has inherited" Another
way of saying the same thing was
the famous proverb, Man is as old
as his arteries"
Today the main causes of death
are related to the blood and it's cir
culation. Heart trouble causes one
out Of every seven deaths. Diseases
Of the kidney are responsible for 148
deaths of each 100000 persons be-
tween the ages of As and 64 years,
and high blood pressure is given
credit for 40 deaths in this group.
The conditions mentioned are de-
tectable and controllable to some ex-
tent in their early stages. They CAN
not be detected except by the scien-
tific tests that are known to any
well-trained physician.

Stacker Dollars
(n,llnth HeraL1d)

The chief reason for unemployed
men is unemployed money.
Idle dollars make idle men.
The president Of a motor company
publishes an advertisement in which
he makes these perfectly true OBJ
servations:
The very root Of our unemploy-
ment problem runs down to the
unemployed dollar ~ the dollar
that is afraid to venture forth,
sometimes through fear Of public
opinion.
Why not put the unemployed
dollar at work? It will, in turn,
put men at work. Why fear to
buy more than the necessaries Of
life because Of what the butcher,
the baker and the candlestick-
maker may think or say?
TO buy today is patriotic du-
ty, not unlike that Of the days
when we bought Liberty bonds
and won a war. We now have
another war to win-the war
against unemployment-and it is
one that touches q great many
more directly and more acutely
than did the recent years of
strife.
No one today can claim
medal for wearing patches when
he can afford new replacement.
There are slackers in peace as
well as slackers in war.
When the Stacker dollar goes
to work, men will 60 to work
and not before.
The man who published that ad
vertising was urging that people bu,
new automobiles, and for those VIII,
need them and can afford them tina
Is good advice.
%But the same advice is good as II
everything people use.
Looking at the large numbers o
people unemployed, we forget tn
vastly larger numbers Of people VIII,
are still at work. There are million
with steady jobs and steady income
from investments who could, II the,
would spend more boldly, do more t
restore prosperity and put idle mel
back at work than all the govern
ments and all the economists in th
world.
For those who can, buying as usua
is as great a patriotic duty as it wa
to buy Liberty bonds in time Of wa
and it will do far more good to IA
more people.
