The coronary blood vessels are the
arteries that supply the heart with
nutrition. They are thus among the
most essential tissues IN the human
body. It has recently been pointed
out that there Is an apparent increase
In angina pectoris and In disease Of
the coronary' arteries, and that many
Of our leading men and women are
being incapacitated by such condi-
lions at the period Of their greatest
productivity.
DR.. B. s. oppenheimer feels that
this increase may be due to the
fact that more people are living
longer than they used to. but 1t is
possible also that this increase Is
due to the stress and strain Of mod
ern life in our large cities.
Other physicians have ascribed the
increase to the more widespread use
Of tobacco and to errors in diet, but
for none Of these views Is the evil
dence absolutely certain.
The person with coronary disease
may suffer with weakness Of the
heart, with pain in the heart. and
with digestive disturbances. There
are some cases that do not manifest
themselves with sufficient severity to
make the patient notice the condi-
ton until he suddenly has severe
attack. If one Of the blood vessels
Is suddenly blocked. serious condi-

Well Hear Walls

It takes no prophet to forecast the
wall of protest which will go up from
Washington II the present congress
does much more slicing Of the nature
performed on the agricultural depart
ment supply bill.
When the house appropriations
committee Topped $1o,799, 900 off the
recommendations Of the federal bud
get commission it started something
which will bring JOY to many Ameri-
cans II not to those employees and
others who may be adversely affected.
This action sets precedent which
the congress will do we'll to follow on
other matters to come up later.
It is pleasant to see the nation
lawmakers getting back to fundamen-
tails. Too many people have too long
held the idea that the government
owes them something, whereas the
view Of the founders of the country
was that the obligation which really
existed was that of the citizen to-
ward the government.
In this country, government is the
child of citizenship. Whether it is a
well-trained and obedient child or a
wasteful, extravagant and domineer-
ing one depends upon the training
given it by the parent. The citizen,
like the parent, has only himself to
blame if the child goes wrong.

lads and was rated as high as $780,
600. But he took heavy losses in the
stock market and just about rates the
millionaire class now. Eddie Cantor
also took heavy sock on the chin
from Wall Street, but made quite a bit
of it back laughing about it. He is
now fast stepping toward the finan-
cial peaks.
Not so many years ago Tom Neigh
an was ranked as an outstanding man
of wealth, but he has been in the
background for several years and his
fortune has dwindled.
When Maude Adams went on her
recent tour, it was whispered about
New York that she needed the money.
Once among the wealthiest of the
great performers, she spent fortunes
on electrical experiments, gave gener-
ously to church societies and private
charities. She was rumored as getting
close to the end of her fortune when
she returned to the stage.

Life Insurance at Home and

It Is interesting to compare thu
amount Of life insurance in force in
the United tsates with that Of other
countries. Where we have more

dom has about $l1 500, 000O 900: Can

Australia, $4,000, 900, 900; Sweden ST.
158,O00O00. Other European, coun-
tries, such as Italy, France and Hol-
land, are below the billion dollar
mark.
The insurance in force in the Uni.
ted States, as compared with any
other nation, is likewise far greater
on . per capita basis. Great Bri-
tains population OF 1890 900 IS more
than third Of ours-while she has
but little more than II per cent Of
the life insurance in force. Canada
with not quite 10 million people
eight per cent Of our population

When Charlatans Flourish

A writer In the January issue Of
Harper's Magazine points out that
the takings Of the fortune tellers do
not seem to have been hurt in the
least by present conditions. In fact,
he adds, there is evidence to show
that astrologists. numerologists and
others of that variety have made
more money during the past year
than in more prosperous times.
The reason probably is not very
hard to find. In good times the aver
age mortal is content to go his way
and take things as they come with
out worrying much. But when times
are hard, he has a frantic desire to
know what lies ahead Of him. Un-
able to find out by ordinary methods,
he tries the mumbo- jumbo artists.
OF course, to do this he spends
money he can i'll afford. But his &C.
ton, after all, is perfectly natural.

The country is indebted to Senator
Hiram johnson. Of California, for the
intelligence and courage he is show
ing in the investigation Of American
loans and concessions In Colombia.
Mr.. Johnson, standing virtually
alone, is bucking the combined powers
Of the state department, the New York
bankers, Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon and the Mellon Gulf Oil Co.
In addition, Mr.. johnson has to OPP
crate through a largely hostile COM
mittee run by the willy and reaction
airy administration wheelhorse, Sena-
tor Reed Smoot.
II Mr.. johnson does nothing more
than uncover the conspiracy of silence
which the state department always
throws around its hand in interna-
tional finance he will accomplish a
lot. For many years some state de-
partment officials have tended to OPP
crate as though they were servants
of banks and oil companies rather
than of the American public.
Indeed, some Of these officials
such as j. Herbert Stabler-have
changed their employment almost
from year to year from the state de-
partment to banks or oil companies.
and then back to the state depart
ment, and then back again to the pri-
vate interests.
Mr.. Johnson, by cross-examination,
has brought out that the state de-
partment got more money out Of the
New York bankers for Colombia after
the president Of Colombia had noti-
fled the state department that he had
taken care Of the rich Barco conces-
sion demands Of the Mellon-o
Gulf Oil Co.
The state departments secrecy
policy was carried to the extreme
point Of Assistant Secretary Of State
Whites refusing TO read on the wit
ness stand the damaging Barco cable
from the president Of Colombia. which
he admitted the state department had
read to the New York bankers.
We hope Mr.. johnson will continue
TO put the senate searchlight on dol
lar diplomacy.

Guiding Youths ,JOy

If Lucille Marsh, writing in a cur
rent number Of The Parents Maya
zine, knows her statistics, the So
called younger generation isn't hav-
ing very good time at its parties.
She says that the modern dancing
party is bore to IS per cent of the
boys and a tragedy to 80 per cent
Of the girls.
Furthermore, parents and teachers
are to blame. They have let situa-
tons develop which make it possible
for an alarming number Of Cinder-
elias to sit along the wall.
To be dubbed wallflower is the
worst heart-break that can come to
a girl. TO smile when the smile is
something more than frozen mask
that is likely to slip off at any min
ute il. to talk to the hostess and
pretend that you like talking to her
-. to gaze into space quite as
though you would much rather
think your own thoughts than be
passing from one pair Of arms to all
other. caught up in the rhythm of
music and dreams and boys who
whisper gay and foolish things.
Most girls would rather face a fir
ing squad than brave the ordeal.
But the boys have their side OF the
story. too. Sometimes they have
been told at home and school that
they are awkward and clumsy.
Rather than risk making themselves
conspicuous they stand around, let
ting their collars grow tighter and
tighter.
When they do outgrow that BASH
full stage they are informed that
Mary Is flop. Edna is q washout,
Ellen is a back number. But Sally
and Jane are hot stuff.
Boys refuse to risk the ridicule
that comes from being stuck with an
unpopular grill. When such q thing
does happen, now and then a young
gentleman will dangle q five-dollar
bill before the stag line. trusting to
the lure of the money to remove the
girl from his arms when she has been
parked overtime.
II parents would exercise wise
guidance over their children,s social
life such situations would never arise.
A mother, instead Of thinking that
she has behaved nobly when she has
ordered pink ice cream and frosted
cakes for her six-year-old sons first
birthday party, should see that every
child In the group has good time
and gets . square deal. Parents
must cooperate In this spirit OF group
consciousness II they want their chill
dren to be happy.
All pleasure should be spontane-
ous Especially that Of youth. It
isn't fair to make boys and girls pay
the piper when they can't dance to
the tune he plays.
