Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

NIE like to think that men are much stronger
w than women, yet Investigations indicate that
serious diseases, involving organs that occur
in both the male and female aflct men oftener
than they do women. The cause of this inherent
weakness in the male is difficult to explain
In the considerations that have been given to the
subject one authority said that, since boys are
larger than girls at birth, nutrition and the birth
process are more difficult and that this might &C
count for the greater weakness of the male
1t might also be thought that nature makes less
provision for the safety of the male than for the
female, realizing that the male is less important in
the natural scheme Of reproduction
The chemical activities Of life go on more rapid
~ IN the male than in the female.
TAKEN altogether, the evidence is good that the
l. male ressts disease less we'll than does the fe-
male. Some Of the factors which have been thought
OF Importance are those related to indulgence in al
cohol, likelihood of exposure, and overwork
These, however, Of small importance in COM
parlson to the fact that the constitution of the male
is somehow inferior
More specifically. men are afflicted with trouble
IN their stomachs and intestines much more than
are women. The tendency of an ulcer is the small
intestine to perforate is twice as great in the male
in the female
Men suffer far more frequently from cancers Of
the lip the larynx the tongue and tonsil than do
women Men suffer more frequently from tubercu-
losls OF the lungs, from pneumonia and from all
sorts OF disturbances Of the blood vessels
NTOMEN. on the other hand, seem to suffer more
w than men do with valvular diseases of the
heart and with chronic arthritis
Women also suffer great deal more than men
with oackache and this is definitely related to the
strain that is put the feminine structure by the
nature OF the build Of the body and by the problems
Of childbirth
OF special interest is the fact that women suffer
lar more than men do from exophthalrnic goter and
from functional diseases of the nervous system.
From the point Of view of suicide the statistics show
that four times as many men commit suicide as do
women. but women make many more suicidal at =
tempts that fail.
The studies Of the distribution of disease are
not only interesting but Of great practical value in
determining the nature Of diseases CT various kinds

Today S Science
By DAVID DIETZ

TINE one hundredth anniversary of the burning
Il Of the British houses of parliament will be OBJ
served by mathematlcianS on Oct. l6. Why mathe
matcians should be interested in this event is
of the most interesting stories in the history Of SCI
ence For here was the burning of a public build
ing brought about not by war revolution, riot, but
by the progress of science.
For many centuries. in England and elsewhere,
the common practice Of keeping numerical records
had been by means of nOtcheS tally sticks. This
continued to be the method at the British treasury
long after most places had given it up. Finally it
was dropped and in 1884 parliament voted to de-
StrOy the tally sticks.
Accordingly. on Oct l6, 1884 the task of burn
ing these sticks was begun in a stove in the base
of the house of lords. The stove became over
heated and by evening the famous building was "a
white hot furnace"
Soldiers and firemen fought the flames without
success. Only ancient Westminster Hall survived.
Rebuilding the houses of parliament cost Great
Britain 100000 pounds. so perhaps that is bill
wAich ought to be charged against the development
Of arithmetic and methods of bookkeeping
THE burning Of the British parliament serves to
4 remind lis of the fact that modern arithmetic
has always been with OF course, tally sticks
hOpeleSSly out OF date in 1884, and 1t is sad
commentary on the way things are done IN politics
that these sticks stl in in 1926 Remember
that Sir Isaac Newton and GOttfried Won Leibnitz
had invented the calculus in the years prior TO 1890
Charles Dickens. the famous author. satarized
parliament in his address on Administrative Re-
form" Official routine" he said inclined TO those
notched sticks as II they were pillars OF the Consti-
tuition"
a few centuries earlier however arithmetic still
in bad way. Professor TObuS Dantzig tells the
story of the German merchant OF the fifteenth
fury who asked a professor where to send his son
for an education II mathematics. The professor re-
piled that il the wished TO learn only adding
and subStraCtng. German university would do, but
If he wished him 10 learn multiplying and dividing
he had better go 10 Italy where more advanced in
Struction available.
Multiplication was carried on in those days by
lengthy and involved process. A problem which can
be solved in five minutes today took three hours
then.
IT is interesting 10 note. however that in the 100
i years from 1884 to 1894 the trend has been from
counting devices TO mental arithmetic and back
again TO counting devices.
The adding machine. the slide rule the various
calculating machines. and the automatic book
keeping machines of sort and another have sup
planted much OF the arithmetca work that had to
be done formerly IN the world OF business, indus
try and science.
Even calculus has succumbed TO the Machine
Age az there is a machine which will solve prob
lens IN calculus which too difficult and involved

Infusion of these young lawyers
into the government is hardly less
significant than the arrival Of
shoals Of professors here. The flow
of young legal brains, which once
headed into New York, has at
least temporarily been diverted to
Washington.
Among them the government
has picked up some of the high
est grade brains it ever had and
the kids" are proving as good as
the best and better than most of
the priced, experienced law
yers who came here to try to
chisel easy deals for the big cor
porationS.
DERHAPS the most important
l. tenet of the Brandeis- Frank
furter religion goes something like
this:
"You can't find brains or char
acter enough to handle huge CEN
tralized projects on a national
scale. Big business and finance
should be broken into smaller,
more efficient units, by taxation.
"Racketeering by bankers and
spectators with other peoples
money must end. Competition
must be free and fair"
Some BrandeiS admirers dis
agree and wish Justice Brandeis
would get away from the ideas he
held twenty years ago. But by no
means all.
That Brandeis- Frankfurter phi
loaophy was uppermost in the
minds of the three young protegeS
who drafted the securities and
stock market acts and then fought
behind the scenes like tigers for
their passage.
The three were: James M. Lam
dis, 35, securities exchange COM
missioner, former Brandeis secre-
tary and Harvard law professor, a
thin, blond, hawk-nosed man who

"Frankfurter' Hog Dogs" was
what Congressman Fred A. Brit
ten of Illinois called the group as
he attacked the stock market bill
drafted by three Brandeis-
Holmes ex-secretaries-in the last
congress.
Along with the professors,
these felloWs-mOstly in their late
twenties or early thirties and lib
erals all-cOmprise the bulk of the
so-called Brain Trust"
ERANKFURTER got to now
L Franklin D. Roosevelt dur
ing the Wilson administration,
when he was chairman of the war
labor policies board, and Mr..
Roosevelt was assistant secretary
of the navy. The two men have
counseled often since.
Professor FTankfurter worships
exceptional brains and President
Roosevelt admires the brains of
Professor Frankfurter, a vigorous
man of about the Presidents age
and an outstanding friend Of la
Dor and social justice.
Naturally, Professor Frankfurter
has helped work out some of the
New Deal measures and policies.
Naturally, he recruited many of
his proteges-mOst of whom were
in private practice-for impor-
tant posts in the new administra-
ton.
Naturally, those proteges re-
cruited dozens of ex-claSSmates
from Harvard law school to help
them man the legal ramparts.
COLUMBIA and Yale and other
~ universities also contributed.
Their graduates here often play
in harmony with the Frankfurter
group and some Of the Columbia
fellows studied under Harlan F.
Stone, now on the supreme court
and always an intimate friend of
Professor Frankfurter.

he once said, Anybody can have my plays in ad-

only thing that won't do, of course is to tell the

transportation.
Second, such a plan would elm
mate the criticism raised against
the CWA that no constructive
work was accomplished.
Under the plan, as being con-
sidered by the President, the rail-
roads would bear half the cost,
with the government lending the
money.
In other words, the government
would put up the estimated
