Diabetes Is Menace
On Thriving Island
BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of HygelA. the health Magazine

Discovery Of inSuln has been the means OF saving
thousands OF lives threatened by diabetes and OF pro-
longing many hundreds Of thousands Of lives, partic-
ularly Of children with this condition.
Diabetes is. moreover. certainly on the increase. this
being associated with a number Of factors. The in
creasing speed. stress. and strain Of modern life Is
believed by many to contribute to this rise.
Then too, our diets have changed. We throw more
stress on the organs associated with digestion and as
sanitation Of sugar. In 1915, Americans used about
Is pounds Of sugar to the person annually. Now we
use 100 pounds a person annually.
Heredity Is known 10 play o part In the appearance
OF diabetes and we have paid little attention To this
factor In our marriages. Overweight In also known
to be OF importance.
The overweight person Is more likely 20 develop
diabetes than Ia the thin one. Obesity Is q real haz-
ard In relationship to this disease. 81
ss
Now II has been known for some time that Jewish
people are more inclined to have diabetes than peo-
pie In general. or course intermarriage Is the rule
and the inbreeding tends to intensity the dabetic
strain.
Moreover, the Jewish people are as Q rule hearty
eaters and the obese nd overweight tend to develop
dlabeter more often than the thin people.
These factors are reflected in an interesting man
ner In Curacao in South America, q small island on
the coast. 40 miles long and lying 40 miles off the
coast OF Venezuela
The capital Is willemstad. which has q population
Of some 10000, Of whom perhaps two to three thous-
and are pure white. For many years this town has
been an important trading port and since there are
no tariffs or taxes. American tourists buy heavily OF
perfumes. liquors. jewelry and similar heavily taxed
luxury items.
Some hundreds OF years ago the Spanish Inquisition
brought about departure from Spain Of q great many
Jewish people. Holland offered them sanctuary. They
went TO Holland and from there many of them trav-
eled to the Dutch province Of Curacao.
Today hundreds Of the white population Of Cura-
Gao are Jewish and by intermarriage many Of the
rest Of the population have Jewish blood also. II Is
not strange, therefore, that diabetes is one Of the
diseases Of chief importance on this island and that
II represents a considerable item In relationship to
the death rates.
There is a cemetery hundreds Of years old contain
ing Jewish graves and there is actually standing and
in use a synagog built more than 200 years ago.
1t is unlikely that diabetes will ever be completely
stamped out because its appearance Ia associated with
an actual structural deficiency Of one Of the glands
Of the body called the pancreas.
Moreover, there probably will always be people who
overeat and people who drive through life under ter
rifle strain, and, because OF the nature OF human
emotion, there will always be marriages without re-
gard to the hereditary factors which exist in such
diseases as diabetes, cancer, asthma, epilepsy, and
mental defect.

The discovery OF what appears to be q rather neat
little Joker In one OF the constitutional amendments
TO be submitted to popular vote ON August gath brings
most forcibly to mind the haphazard manner in
which Texas goes about the changing of the consti-
tuition under which the state Is governed.
When the so-called free textbook amendment
was submitted. 1t was generally understood that It's
adoption would authorize the legislature to pass
enabling acts providing for the giving Of free text
books 70 private and parochial schools in the same
manner as these same textbooks are given to public
schools.
~ now develops that when we vote on that amend
ment we are not only voting on the free textbook
provision. but also ON the little matter OF authorizing
the legislature TO change the manner In which the
state available fund Is partitioned among the various
school districts of the state.
Under the present method. the per capita appor-
tionment Ia made on the basis OF the number Of
hcholRstics residing In the district. II the amendment
Am adopted. 1t viii be possible TO change this method
10 one by which the per capita apportionment Is
made On the basis Of the average number Of scholas-
tics attending school.
Irrespective Of the arguments pro and con this or
any other proposal. two amendments to the eonsti-
tuition on the state should not be tied together a. one.
The one may be- good. the other bad. Yet In voting
Cor the good, we are voting for the bad. and In voting
against the bad We are voting against the good.
This sort OF thing may be expected as long as the
present method Of submitting constitutional amend
ments Ia continued That the method Is bad IL prov
an conclusively by the fate that greets the average
amendment submitted to popular vote. Almost every
amendment that goes before the people Is beaten,
and almost invariably It Is beaten because sooner or
later It Is discovered that the amendment does not
do what it was proposed it should do.
The hurly-hurly OF u legislative session Il no time
cr place for the drawing up OF amendments to the
basic law OF the land.
Either call a constitutional convention for the sole
purpose of considering and framing proposed changes,
or appoint a. joint committee Of both houses to hear,
consider and frame proposed legislative changes,
such committee to act when the legislature Is not in
aession, submitting its findings to the next regular
session.

The Dog DAYS OF Business

The dog days Of summer and Of summer business
nre upon us. In the course OF these rather warm
August days II Is hard for the average business man
OF the Valley to do other than follow his natural
inclInations and Just suffer it out, wishing all the
while that he could escape to the mountains or the
seashore for the rest OF the summer period.
But on the other hand we find a rare few who
