New York, N. r. - Coronary disease. which claimed the lives of ex-President Coolidge and a number of other noted Americans during the year just past. is in- creasirlg so rapidly that it may soon become one of the leading fcauses of death, according to sta tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. They point out that among the company's tn- dustrial policyholders, the coron- ary deathrate, jumped nearly 200 per cent during the past three years. During the same period the
 holders = also has more than While declaring themselves un- able to explain the increase, the statisticians say that 1t has been recorded in practically every age group in adult life, and that If
 present trends continue, coronary disease may be expected with a few years rank high among the
 leading causes of death." It Is
 largely responsible for deaths of
 diabetics and also for "a large
 number, if not most, of the deaths
 attributed to angina pectoris,"
 ''fn the last few years," the sta-
 tisticians explain, ''quiet but revo-
 lntionary changes have taken place in the concepts regarding heart
 disease. Probably the most impor- tant is the growing appreciation of the significance of diseases of the
 ceronary arteries which supply
 blood to the heart muscle. Wide attention was directed to coronary
 disease early last year because of the sudden death from it of ex-
 President Coolidge and shortly
 after of foyfner Senator Walsh, on
 the eve of his taking his place as a member of the new cabinet. In the course of the past year, coron- ary disease has caused the deaths of several other prominent persons, among them former Senator Gill bert M. Hitchcock, Otto H. Kahn, the banker, John D. Ryan, the copper magnate, and Herbert N.

Page The Sheriff. |f Giants Lose

If the New York Giants don't win the pennant and thereby get intO the World Series, fhere'll be c lot of headaches on the part of the committee of . local social club.
 Some weeks ago, when che Giants were away in front and the series almost certainly seemed to be booked for New York for several games, the club decided to have . draw ing and listed as prizes four World Series tickets, with transportation.
 That word Transportation" seemed harmless till now, when tho St Louis Cards have an excellent chance of cOpping the pennant and opposing Dee troit in the series. If St. Louis wins, it means a big problem for the club, since railroad fare to Detroit or St. Louis Is many, many times what 1t Is to New York.
 t'C'mon, yon Giants'' says the committee.

 As firm in her declaration of mans independence of disease as of all evil, Mrs Eddy says, Disease arises from false and material sense, from the belief that matter has sensation" and she adds, Moreover, this unreal sense sub- stitutes for truth and unreal be- lief, namely, that life and health are independent of God, and de- pendent on material conditions" (No and Yes, p 5.

ity to present their side of the case.
 Those who engineered this democratic feat of super-m -manipu- lations," he declared, failed to realize that millions of Americans resent tyrannical and despotic ac- tions on the part of government officials who can find no better excuse for their actions than to make accusations of criminal pro- ceedings which they do not dare to bring into a court of law"
 Aviation Leader
 Senator Bingham is recognized as a leader in aviation in this country. He was author of the Air Commerce Act of 1926, which is often referred to as "The cor nerstone in the progress of Amer ican commercial aviation" For a number of years he has been pres ident of the National Aeronautic association.
 In his address Senator Bingham brought out that before the Black Commission Investigating air mail contracts, in answer to questions put by U. s. Senator Warren B. Austin, Postmaster General Far ley had admitted that he had
 made no move to try to correct anything that he (Farley) might have regarded as fundamentally wrong" when he had had the con- tracts cancelled; that he didn't know how many men obtained livelihood by the air mail service; that he had not taken into consid- eration the excellence of the air mail institution built up during the four years of the previous admin istration, and that he hadn't given consideration to the effect the cancellations would have on the flying public.
 No Public Proof
 Senator Bingham declared that the companies holding the con tracts on February g, when they were terminated, the companies officials and their stockholders were condemned, convicted and punished without a hearing, with out their day in court which is the right of every American. ''The public" he said, twas not given any proof which a court of justice would dignify as worthy of ere dence that any of those contracts were obtained by collision and fraud, as charged"
 The speaker referred to the charges of Senator Austin, made following the, investigation, that the two effectives bombarding the postoffice department for can- cellation of the air mail contracts were organized, non-subsidzed op- orators and political spoilers" Senator Austin had declared that the records Revealed a campaign so comprehensive that the self seeking, interested companies brought their influence to bear upon committees of the senate and the house and individual senators and representatives, the special Investigating commission and the postmaster general, with ever-in- creasing urgency until the ob- jective of cancellation was reached"
 "What Is POlitician?"
 On the same program with Sen- ator Bingham in Bridgeport, at the meeting at the Andree Club, was Mrs Herman Hubbard of Old Lyme. speaking on What Is a Politician?" Mrs Charles B. Will Hanson of Darien was the CO., speaker in Stamford where the meeting was held at the home of Mrs Louis H. Porter of Blachley road.

 Gaining Momentum
Deatrate Increases Near 200 Per Cent in Last Three
 Years Reveals Figures

Straus, the merchant.
 "A striking evidence of the rec ognition of the importance of cor- onary disease is the very rapid in- crease in the number of deaths ascribed to it. For example, among the industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, the recorded deathrate from coronary disease has risen from ~ per 100000 in 1880, when mortality statistics on the disease first became available, to 13.5 in
