the added threat of fastionslism caused by the dropping from the democratic ticket of the veteran town clerk. whose endorsement by both democrats and republicans over long period has been considered imperative. The results may show that the democrats still hold the upper hand in the large cities of the state, but we don't think that Mayor Hayes 5000 victory will be, approached. All of which makes us extremely proud of our party right here at home and just bit inclined perhaps to boast about it to the rest of the state. It's pardonable though under the circumstances, don't you think!

It is up to Postmaster General James "A. Farley whether or not newspapers carrying Iioaor advertisements will be admitted to the U. S. mails Attorney General Hcsner S. Cummings believes that the law forbidding the above is still in effect, but it is not up to him to enforce it. but the Postmaster Gen. eral. It is only in the last month or SO that liquor advertisements have appeared in our metropolitan dailies. We wondered at the time if they were not subject to some regulation. Of course, everybody is acting now as if the 18th amendment were not in effect. But it's different with Uncls Sam where his mails are concerned. But unless the proper complaints issue from the post office department there will be no federal action. And we doubt very much if they will be forthcoming.

THE CAUSES OF cvD

F. Cardiovascular degeneration or disease (CVDj includes hardening of the arteries myo- cardtis or slow heart muscle failure angna pectoris many cases of apoplexy (cerebral hemorrhage. stroke or paralysis) and many cases of chronic nephrtis J(Brights disease): many cases of general breakdown" where the brunt of the degeneration Is npt felt chiehy m one of these more familiar manifestations. CVD now tops the list in the causes of death. Nearly all of us will die of 1t is we live long and wrong enough.
 What we doctors don't know about the causes of CVD fills many tonnes. When we don't know much we always lean heavily on theory. Before we consider the nature and cause of the condition we had better dispose of one or two false conceptions based on exploded theories.
 First, the old saying that man Is as old as his arteries served to fix attention unduly upon the arteries. Of course, man or woman or or his lungs or his teeth. If a man has gray hair you wouldn't conclude he IS old because the hair is gray; his hair Is gray bcause the man is old.
 Second, the theory that too much meat is hard on the arteries the kidneys, the blood pressure or something. This theory was based | on another theory, that animal protein or nitrogenous matter (albumen, lean meat) more readily undergocs putrefaction In the intestine and that the products of putrefaction are more | or less poisonous and absorbed into the blood and produce kind of poisoning of the system called "autointoxicltion." assure you | this is all q mistake. Scientifically no such sys-
 
 tically, expermentay. the excessive consump- | ton of meat by has been proved quite harmless So assert without fear of compete ent contradiction that there is reason why CVD patients persons training for cardio- vascular degeneration should not eat meat.
 light meat, dark meat, fish, fowl eggs, cheese, game.
 | Third the overeatng idea-mind don't call
 overeating a theory. There Is, believe, good | reason to think that one who regularly eats
 more than he can metabolize to advantage | (and this includes Nctuals and beverages), | does put load, a strain. a burden on his heart and arteries and courts a premature physical decline, breakdown degeneration. As rule, | persons who overeat perform their outstanding
 !eats in the domain of the deectable carbohy
 drates, starches sugars, breads, cakes, pastries, sw eets--because these are the easiest to eat and most available Frankly I don't know
 whether overeating has anything to do with
 CvD or not, but most good physicians still feel
 that it may be factor. Perhaps the real fac- tor concerned where overeating is avowedly a
 habit is neglect of exercise.
 | The older medical authors all mention alco- hol as one of the causes of arterioscerosis or CVD but recently some good medical author-
 ities have doubted whether alcoholism .s a fac-
 tor. Personally. incline to the belief that 1t
 is not alcohol itself. but evils which alcoholism | or intemperance favors, that are the real
 causes-notab1y venery and syphilis

 London (UP)--While disdaining all suggestions that it should em- bark upon an economic policy similar to Roosevelt's, the British government is indulging in several experiments in controlled capital ism which, to the outsider, bear a a striking resemblance to Roose- veltism.
 If economic planning has been applied to British industry only to very limited extent, it is being attempted fin agriculture on a broad, ambitious scale. But while this incipient economic revolution is in progress, one of the most eminent members of the cabinet announces that he will have none Of it.
 "OId Country-OId Principles" Deprecating demands that Bri- tain should seek prosperity along Rooseveltian paths, Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamber lain, speaking at the annual bank CTS donner, declared that Ian old country like Britain must be sure that the old principles have really failed before abandoning them, and that new experiments are likely to succeed before embark ing on them."
 With the country's farmers fac- ing ruin, however, the British government already has ventured far in subjecting agriculture to state planning. Long regarded as the shining exponent of rugged individualism, British farming promises to become an effort al scientific planning as concerns both output and marketing. By assuming power to regulate i'm ports, the government has guar anteed that, if farmers market
 their produce under agreed schemes, they need not fear for. eign competition on the home market. Britain's food supply was subjected to a permanent author. ity with virtually dictatorial pow. ersf when parliament adopted the agricultural marketing bill las March.

 An airplane officials. a lady mis- sionary and fugitive American financier--away from Q native re. volt in Afghamstan gets lost and comes down in an isolated valley far up in Tibet. The refugees be- come guests at Q monastery there. They are hospitably received and well treated--but they soon learn that they are not ever to leave: And then the tale becomes fam astic and wholly charming.
 The monks nave "a secret of | longevity which enables them to | live 200 years or moro. They have studied long and thought deeply. and they foresee 2 new wave of wars which will des0late the earth and bring a new dark age. They are building up Q colony to pre- serve one lamp of civilization; the refugees are to be new recruits. So the refugees fit into this odd new life.

It seems like old times to read about Sylvester J. Poli taking over the reihs of the theatrical properties that he acquired in lifetime of show business. While his name has still remained byword in show business in this part of the world, he has been more or less retired since his chain of theaters was sold some years back. Now he may head a holding company controlling l7 Poli houses in Massachusetts and Connecticut with the Loew interests looking after the booking. It will be good to have this grand old man of the theater back in our midst We sincerely trust that he will prove as successful as he was in the past

 Mrs Secretary of the Interior Tckes, who is fond of parks, took shine to nice, bright young man whom she found in charge of the Mesa Verde National park in Colorado. The result is that c. Marshall Finnan, 32, now is superintendent of the vast national capital park system.
 The original idea was that Fin- nan should be an associate director in charge of all national park field work. older officials, with nothing against Finnan except his slender experience, had trouble bashing that proposal.
 Russia Story Packs House

Washington-Farm are in re- volt against the law of averages. Averages tell the farmer that after seven months of Roosevelt he is 22 per cent better off when you figure the prices he gets against the prices he pays.
 According to present prices, wheat farmers will get $10O,0O0,- 900 more this year for 2O0, 1000, 900 fewer bushels of wheat-plus s12O,O00,OOO or more for reduc- ton of the next crop.
 But try to feed averages to a South Dakota farmer, for instance, and he'll probably chase you with a pitchfork.
 Out there the crop failure was almost complete. The fact that South Dakota raised but 3,000,000 bushels of wheat against last years 37,O0O,O0O is swell for wheat prices but hell on South Dakota. . The oat crop was down from 75, 100000 to 5,000,000 and barley from 100000 to 3,000,000.
 The mythical leverage farmer" doesn't live there or in other states suffering from short crops or price slumps in individual com modities. North Dakota and Ne. braska also have been having a bad time.
 Some Win. Others Lose .
 "Spottiness" of the farm situa- ton explains why some farm- CTS will strike and others won't. A farmer with plenty of wheat who can get 55 to 60 cents Q bushel for 1t now as against S7 cents last year, or a potato grower who. can collect $1 as against last years 3S cents is relatively content.
 But not the livestock raiser, who compares the present prive of $3.61 with the 1892 low price very low-of $4.31.

 Meanwhile. by manipulating tariffs and import quotas the gov- ernment. as never before, has been cncroaching on fields of foreign commerce heretofore left to priv ate enterprise.
