THE PAINS OF GREATNESS

Even a ~hardboiled newspaper man is
forced to sympathize every once in a while
with the desire of the great and the near
great TO escape the spotlight of publicity
and TO be allowed a certain amount Of
privacy, personal and otherwise.
We are thinking in particular Of En-
Governor Bill Murray Of Oklahoma, who
arrived in Brownsville Wednesday after
noon and was Immediately besieged by
gentlemen Of the press who desired to
know all manner of things about Gov.
Murray, his past, present and future.
The Brownsville Herald was fortunate
In being able to get an interview with Gov.
Murray, the first he has given for publ
cation since he left office. And in the
giving of that interview the governor, per-
haps inadvertently, gave the clue to 9TH
ers who would desire to converse with him.
Il can always tell a crack Drained re-
porter he said. "They always nave a
question to ask about my 'walrus mus
tache'. Now everybody who knows any
thing knows that a walrus does not have a
mustache."
We imagine, however, that it is not the
lack of knowledge about the personal APP
pearance Of the walrus that so inks the eX-
governor as the lack of delicacy on the part
OF the newshounds in persisting in ques-
ticning about his own personal appearance.
The governor is now, has been and
probably always will be, a national charac-
ter. People are interested in him, in what
he has to say, in what he does. He has
served Oklahoma in many ways. lie left
the state, went to South America, engaged
in the cattle business there, and returned
to run for governor Of Oklahoma and 10
be elected.
What he has done As governor Of Okla
homa j. fresh in the minds Of the people
Of Texas. for did he not call out the ma
tional guard Of his state to prevent entry
across the Red River bridge from Texas?
These acts which appealed to the pub
then still appeal TO them and result in a
desire on the part Of the public to hear
what Gov. Murray thinks about the things
of today.
He cannot escape publicity, no matter
where he goes, but it does seem that he
might escape some of the "crack brained'
sort Of publicity that has been given to
him in the past and with which reporters
seem prone to afflict him even after he
has left public office.

Oscar Wilde, or somebody, once remark
ed that nature mimics art; by which, Of
course, he meant that whereas a writer Of
fiction may invent a happening which
sounds utterly improbable and fantastic, il
we wait long enough we shall see the hap
pening duplicated in real life.
In that sprightly comic strip, "Freckles."
there has recently been an episode in
which someone dropped revolver cart
ridges into the coal tender Of a railway
train. The fireman subsequently shoveled
some Of these into the fire box along with
the coal; they exploded, and a mar was
shot.
Did it sound somewhat improbable ?
Perhaps. But just the other day Baltimore
police reported that a woman met her
death in almost precisely the same way.
In some manner, a loaded cartridge fell
into a wastebasket and was tossed into the
furnace. When the woman went down to
put coal on the fire, the cartridge went off
and she was fatally shot.
Once more, life duplicated the seem
lngly far-fetched invention of the artist.

Sudden End May Come
From SIow Disease
Editor, Journal Of the American Medical Associate
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

II. q. Wells. in his autobiography. mentions the
very interesting fact that his grandfather, his father.
and his brother all died suddenly in the same way.
He says:
In 1910 my father woke up very briskly one morn
ing. delivered a careful instruction on the proper way
to make suet pudding TO his housekeeper glanced
over the Daily Chronicle and prepared to get
up. He put his legs out Of bed and slid down BY
the side Of the bed a dead man.
There Is an irregularity in our family pulse. It
misses a beat ever and again and sooner or later IL
misses more than one and that is the end Of US.
NY grandfather had leaned over the gate to admire
a sunset and then in the same fashion ceased to
live. This last spring as 7 write d930 heart stop
page came also to my elder brother; as he got up
from his breakfast, he reeled and fell dead"
Death due primarily to sudden stopping of the heart
occurs under two different circumstances. First.
when a heart has a prolonged struggle against over
whelming difficulties It generally plays out; second,
when the heart, while still performing its work, sud
denly stops.
Playing out Of the heart after a severe infectious
disease, as pneumonia, or as an infection of the heart
itself, Is an easily understandable condition. How
ever. the circumstances associated with sudden stop
ping OF the heart in the midst Of apparent health
arouse much more curiosity and interest.
Usually there is a disease OF the heart muscle and
obstruction Of the blood flow in the cronary arteries
which supply the heart with nutrition. 1t may be that
these changes have taken place gradually over a
long period OF time, and that it is an accumulation Of
the changes which suddenly brings about death.
II has been suggested that a sudden rise in the
blood pressure, because Of excitement or some similar
reason, may overwhelm a heart already crippled by
disease. II may also be the same sudden spasm OF
the blood vessels, associated with nerve stimulation,
may be responsible for sudden stopping Of the heart.
There are also cases in which heart blocking oc-
ours with failure OF the beat Of the heart TO be car
ried properly from one portion to another. OF late,
many sudden deaths have occurred due to the sud-
den blocking Of the blood vessels Of the heart.
There has been some discussion as TO whether coro-
nary thrombosis or sudden blocking OF the heart is
more frequent than formerly. Some investigators
find that the condition occurs III younger individuals
nowadays, but most doctors assert that IL occurs in
those past middle age. and that there are more
cases because more people are living longer.
II Is conceivable. however, that new conditions OF
life and industry are responsible for new types Of
stress and strain. which carry responsibility for heart
disease Of this kind.

lodge judicial functions in agencies

The girl had dark hair and eye

GALE wished Leota would go

AS they stepped cut into the COR

Gale. She began talking about
something that had happened the
day before. something that must
have been funny because she
laughed. Gale wasn't listening.
She could still feel the weight
pressing down on her forehead
and her feet were like lead. She
wished Leota hadn't put her arm

AS they stepped into the big
room where they both worked
Leota dropped her voice again.
She said, maybe I'll have some

hurried away.
