Such truth, as that, from the

pillorying judges and juries and
justice, he laughed at them, and
that was effective sociological re-

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

60 much has been written and said about the
- relationship of alcohol and tobacco to the heart
disease called angina peCtoTlS that an investigation
was made recently TO discover whether smoking or
drinking could produce this ailment.
And the results seem TO show that the disease
hardly can be attributed to these causes.
Seven hundred fifty persons with angina pectoriS
were compared with $50 others who did not have
the disease. but who Of the same sex age. and
Of the same social group.
The comparison Of the habits Of the two groups
brought out the fact that 46 per cent of those who
had angina peCtoriS never had smoked tobacco while
244 per cent OF those who had the disease had used
tobacco 10 excess
Thirty-seven and twO-tenth per cent of those who
did not have angina pectors did not smoke and 335
per cent smoked excessively
OBVIOUSLY, 1t is exceedingly difficult from fig
" ureS like these to trace any relationship be
tween tobacco smoking and the occurrence Of angina
pectorls II Is possible. however. to say from thes
figures that tobacco smoking is not primarily
sponsible for angina pectoris.
As to abstinence from alcoholic liquors, ga pei

alcohol and Git per cent of those who did not have
angina pectoris never had taken alcohol

Breaks for Little Man

DRINfO must not belt his opponent on the back of
l. the head and knock him crazy when they come
into a cnch but the little man is allowed to slide
into clinging embrace and idle away the active
seconds of the contest in order to escape the storm
outside
Neither the law of the ring nor public opinion
rebukes a Loughran for that The big must not
Whang him the body to beat him out of a clnch,
in which he has been seized against his will for the
advantage of his opponent but must accommodate
his conduct to artificial decorum which holds
that while it is wrong for the little man to beg the
question in this manner, it would be much
wrong for the big one to crack him in half because
he is little.
But, being SO little, and not nearly as much man,
maybe these LoughranS ought to admit to them
selves and the world that the Primes are more than
they handle If this be rugged indjVdualSm
be it, but, in my conception Of things fight is
fight and the question in such contest is whether
one can lick another.

go on record as saying that a man
never willingly marries a girl
who he has been intimate with,
this is, not just any girl, but one
whom he knows he loves? Does
he love her less afterwards and

answer this. e. D. M.
Answer-No, I would not go on
record as saying any such thing,
for it would not be true. Any hon.

who have been intimate have mar
ried and lived happily ever after.

type Of case so that it might turn

Unfortunately, few daugerreo-
types carry any marking to show
where they were made or by
whom. Miss Martha Dorsey of
the Washington high school staff
has a fine collection of family
daguerreotypes which she knows
were made in southern Indiana,
but with the exception Of Mr..
Dorr, a photographer at Prince
ton, she has no other maker or
gallery.
THE first daguerreotype gal
l. lery in indianapolis was
opened in 1912 on the south side
of Washington street between Me-
ridian and Illinois, by Thomas
w. Whitridge, who later became a
noted artist.
John Nicholson, a pioneer IN
dianapoliS portrait photographer,
and w. H. Bass, dean Of Indian
apoIS photographers, although
engaged exclusively in the COM
merCial side, came to Indianapo-
lis after the daguerreotype era,
but remembers much about the
process.
In 1851, the year Mr.. Bass was
born, his uncle, living at Haw
Patch, near Columbus, learned to
make daguerreotypes and prac-
ticed by making family pictures,
which they still own.
Shortly before the Civil war
ambrotypeS were introduced, and
tintypeS came a bit later. These
often are called daguerreotypes
today, probably because they were
placed in the same type container,
but they were distinguished easily
from real daguerreotypes. The
tintypes have painted cheeks and
gilded buttons, and in ambrotypes
the face, hands and other light
parts are shown in silver.
Daguerreotypes were made ap-
proXimately but thirty years. Dur
ing the Civil war the little carte
de visite, true forerunner of the
present-day photograph, was pro-
duced.
In their lovely cases, daguerreo-
types are precious antiques of
truly remarkable excellence. They
were the trail breakers of pho
