l. Dr. Louis Dublin, president of the American Population association has compared the number of deaths of about 5000 college athletes over period of 20 years with the deaths among an equal number of men sufficiently sound to obtain life in- surance. Of the insured men 1914 would have died during this period but only 1,202 of the college athletes die1. Thus the athletes died only abo; 92 per cent as rapidly as did the insured men. Either the college athletes were much more highly se- lected for sound health than the insured men or else athletics did not init e them. The latter seems the correct inference.

It may be selling sand wiches or railroads, or carrying out some political or social scheme or saving souls. Some women are ag- gressive in this objective way but l think the majority are aggressive because they have an inferiority feeling towards men and try by un- usual aggressiveness and bold at- titude to compensate" for this feel- ing of inferiority.

 Persistent irritation of terminal anorectal nerve filaments refiexly overstimulates the colon to increased function, hypersecretion of mucus and hypermotility or excessive peris- ta1sis-colic or cramp, and the effect is coli-mucosis.
 In my earlier days. in this field I was frequently astonished at the complete and permanent relief of long-standing cases of so-called mucous colitis following proper treatment of some such condition as anal Assure, a troublesome hem- orrhoid or pruritus. Then I began to be on the alert for such sources of irritation which were not at the time complained of It is curious how these patients dwell on, and appar- ently exaggerate their mucosis sym- ptoms and yet ignore or minimize the symptoms of an underlying rec tai condition, so that the real cause of their troubles escapes attention unless the physician IS minded Jo look for it. (End of colleagues re- marks.)
 / We all know great many people use alleged pile remedies when in fact they have no such trouble. wonder whether there are not as many people taking treatment, med icine, funny diets or unnatural "in- terna1 baths" for what purports tc be mucous colitis, when the actual source of the trouble is some such simple ano-rectal leision as the proctologist describes. It beats all how prudish and silly and difficult people of limited intelligence can be about a proper examination in such circumstances.

There was another silence.

There was another silence.
 "If that is Lewis" said Hagan meditatively, why isn't Jackson with him?"
 "Too well known" said Larry. "The underlings in a gang like that can appear more or less openly. Jackson is too hot. He's probably got snugger hideout that we don't know about. He can be there and his gang, or part of it, can be here in Dover seeing the sights and burning up their money while Jackson lays his plans for new job. One of these days they'll quiet ly vanish and week later we'll read about bank robbery down in Texas or over in Pennsylvania somewhere.
 There was another silence. Then Hagan asked, Say did you notice that long-haired guy that was with 'em-I mean, did you notice him especially"
 T took good look, but it didn't tell me anything. Why?"
 "Well, looked, too;' and it seems to me that he comes pretty close to fitting 8 description we got for one of the men that stuck up the Acme Box company's payroll that day last week."
 Larry looked up with new inter- est in his eyes; but all he said was Well, you know what those de- scriptions are like-you could pinch most anybody on 'em."
 Well, I know" said Hagan. Its not only that. Far as that goes, he fits it; Six feet one or two, light haired, tanned complexion, broad shoulders but that isn't all. |. D'you know about that stickup?"
 Larry shook his head.
 Just an ordinary stickup," said Hagan, with the air of one to whom robbery is no novelty. Friday evening is payday at the Acme plant, and every Friday afternoon the cashier gets his flivver and drives over to the 105th street branch of the Dover Trust com-

COLITIs CRASHES THE COLUMN

COLITIS CRASHES THE COLUMN
 Under title "No Colitis in This Colum" not long ago I said here:
 "It is not just out of the mean ness of my heart that I dodge consideration of colitis here. It is because don't know anything about it and the subject does not seem to me to fit in a health col- umn. I hope readers who imagine they have colitis will not quit. Just as soon as anything turns up that seems worthy I'll pass it along"
 Something has turned up. Contri- button from a colleague whose prac- tice is limited to proctology:
 .Etymologically "colitis" means in hammation of the colon .. rarely shows real inflammation, hence true colitis seldom seen.
 Hypersecretion and hypermotility with no inflammation is very com mon. Its real cause is ordinarily not recognized and consequently treatment is seldom satisfactory.
 A better name for it is coli-muco- sis-meaning excessive mucus in the colon.
 Some authorities consider this af- f1iction 8 pure neurosis, but they stop short right there.
 (And let us stop briefly to explain right here that mucus is the correct spelling for the noun, mucous for the adjective. Neurosis is 8 func- tional disorder, presumably of the nervous system, for which no cause is known or no lesion is found on examination-for instance epilepsy migraine, hysteria, writer's cramp spastic constipation.)
 My experience, continues the proctologist, has convinced me one will generally find a definite source of irritation if one makes careful rectal examination. The ano-rectal region is supplied with filaments from the auto-nomic Csympathe- tic"D nervous system which governs all the vital functions. Perfect function here means perfect balance between the opposing controlling forces or reins, viz, the activator

 How can I reduce quickly2 What can I do to get rid of dandruff? Please give me advise about clari- flying my skin." These are the problems that seem to bother the majority of women who write to Q beauty editor these days.
 To the first, there is one answer. You shouldn't try to reduce quick ly. After all, 1t took months to put on the extra flesh and it's really dangerous to set out to get rid of it in a few weeks. Don't attempt to lose more than one pound 8 week. Cut down on starches and sweets, substituting fresh vegetables and fruit for them, eat smaller por- tions of everything, drink eight glasses of water a day and do exer- else. You simply must exercise.
 Eliminating dandruff takes time and trouble, too. You must brush your scalp and hair each night and wash the hairbrush after each treatment. In addition, get good tonic, especially made not only to dissolve the white flakes but to re- move them permanently, and mas- sage 1t into your scalp daily. Re- member that balsam oil shampoos are recommended by good many excellent hairdressers. The oil should be rubbed on scalp and in hair and finsed out with quite warm water. If you like, you can wash a second time with a regular soapy shampoo liquid. If possible, dry your hair in the sunshine.
 The third problem, particularly if it is chronic, should be taken up with your family doctor. If it is slight and blemishes occur infre- quently, the chances are that eight glasses of water a day, eight hours sleep a night, and sensible diet will do the trick.

 Well, what about it?" asked the girl.
 Sandy lowered the book. Keep your shirt on," he said. "I'll just stay away, that's all" Going to stay in town?" Sure. I got an assignment here"

 Then he hung up the receiver and unobtrusively went back to the detective bureau.
 And after a while, as Art Lan- ming walked from his office to the kitchen of the Golden Feather, one of the walters drew him aside.
 T gotta tip they're going to put the finger on that sandy-haired guy from Oklahoma here tonight for the Acme payroll stickup," he said quietly. Lanning looked at him, nodded, and went back to his office. There he took his telephone and dialed number.
 "Hello-Eve? This's ., Lanning. Listen. Tell Sandy to stay away tonight. I just got the word they're getting ready to hang a payroll rap on him. Yeah, the Acme job. They're supposed to be here tonight to pick him up. No, that's all I know"

CHAPTER XI


 Several days later, Larry Glenn leaned back in his swivel chair, ex- tended his long legs under his desk, dropped the letter he had been reading, and frowned thoughtfully at the blank wall of his office. For nearly a minute he sat thus, his hands clasped behind his head; then he reached for his telephone and gave the number of police headquarters.
 Detective bureau-Sergeant Ha- gan," he said, when he got his number. Then, moment later: Mike? This's Glenn. Can you drop up here for a few minutes? got 8 funny one for you"
 He put the phone away and con- tinued to look pensively at nothing. When, IS minutes later, Mike Hagan came in. Larry ruefully handed him the letter.
 "Seems as if our friend Evelyn is running around with somebody else" he said. T send in those fingerprints off that glass, and there's no record of 'em. They're no more like Wingy Lewis's than mine are."
 Iagan read the letter and drop ped it on the desk.
 Look" he said, did you see that waiter get the glass?"
 Harry nodded.
 s'What'd he do with it? Bring it right to you?" asked Hagan.
 Larry thought a moment.
 "No, come to think of it. He went out to the kitchen with his tray of enpties, and then he brought our order-and slipped me the glass;
 His eyes met Hagan's
 "So," he said presently. You think he switched glasses on me?"
 Hagan ran his finger through his hair and took out cigar.
 T think they're kind of tough crowd at the Golden Feather" he said. T got a motion that waiter thought things over on his way out and decided not to help turn in one of their star customers if he could help it. Maybe I'm wrong, of course. Maybe that guy isn't Wingy Lewis after all Maybe that gal isn't even Evelyn Brady. But look; it stands to reason, if the waiter thought twice about it, he'd guess you wanted the glass for fingerprints. And if those birds are mobsters on the prowl, it's cinch Lanning and hius gang know about 'em and are ready to help cover for lem. So, I'm just saying"
 "Yeah," said Larry. "Yeah, that's probably what happens. And if he switched glasses on me, he un- doubtedly told Lewis about tiff it is Lewis-right afterward. Which means that Lewis knows, by now, that somebody is interested in him. .. which may mean that the whole mob'll run for cover"

A. A. A. CONSTITUTIONAL,
LAW DEAN BELIEVES
Smoother Sailing for New Deal
Agencies Seen by Burdick
of Cornell.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ITHACA, N. Y, June 19.-Smoother
sailing for the New Deal in the Ma
tion's courts was predicted yesterday
by Dean Charles K. Burdick Of the
Cornell Law School at the opening
session of Cornell's new alumni insti-
tute.
Dean Burdick, chairman Of the New
York State Law Revision Committee
and himself a constitutional author
ity, said that in particular the flnan-
cial features of the agricultural
adjustment act appear to have a
pretty clean bill of health" and
that in general other New Deal
projects and appropriations "seem
equally immune from successful at
tack on constitutional grounds"
Concerning the newly launched
N. r. A., Dean Burdick said:
my conclusion Is that while Con-
gress may not directly control intra-
state production by rules enforceable
by criminal and civil process, it may
constitutionally exclude what 1t will
from the channels Of interstate COM
merce and so may admit what it will
to such channels upon such condi-
tons as it chooses to lay down."

PLAY EQUIPMENT
DRIVE LAUNCHED
Lafayette Home and School
Group Appoints
Committee.

A drive to obtain adequate facilities
for the Lafayette Playground, Chevy
Chase, D. c., was inaugurated last
night by the Lafayette Home and
School Association at a meeting in the
Lafayette School.
Speaking on the need for the de-
velopment Of this recreation ground
George Strong, chairman Of the
playground council of Chevy Chase
Recreation Center, said: THE citizens
of this area have not stressed their
desire for installing equipment on this
location. 1t is the poorest served in
the city"
The Lafayette Playground is ap-
proximately six acres, between Broad
Branch road and Thirty-third street,
and bounded by Northampton street
on the south, adjoining Lafayette
School ground.
Committee Appointed.
A committee consisting of Mrs.
McClain Smith, chairman; Harold
Merrill and DR.. w. A. Larimer was
appointed to conduct the drive. The

committee also was instructed to act
for the association in securing full
time supervisor for the playground.
Three plans for the solution Of the
overcrcwded condition of the Lafayette
School were discussed. One plan was
to redistrict the area, sending some
of the children to the E. v. Brown
and the Ben Murch Schools. This
plan was strongly disapproved be-
cause it would require children to
cross three main traffic arteries.
President Paul Williams said: 1.-THE
enrolment at present Is AS ir. q
building to accommodate 325. There
have been nearly 800 new homes built
in this section recently, which will
add about 1865 more students next
year."
Portable Plan DisapprOved.
The School Board has suggested
using portables to meet the immediate
situation. The association disapproved
of this measure, along with the third
plan, to have halliday classes for the
first two grades.
The portable plan was disapproved
on the ground that the health Of the
children would be impaired in these
temporary structures. However q
resolution which will be sent to the
School Board stating that the associa-
ton does not approve of any Of the
three plans and will leave the matter
Of providing for school accommoda-
tons to the School Board. This
measure also states, in the event that
the board decides to use portables,
the members of the association insist
they be steam heated, properly lighted,
and necessary sanitary provisions be
made.
