Editor, The Times: A recent

Opinion finds the majority of
the American people sympathiz-

The writer on other occasions
has called attention to the un-

congress imposed on the Span

might be OF interest to our read

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

When a human being finds
that inflammatory changes have
taken place in the blood vessels
which result in failure of the
blood to circulate, particularly
in the feet. he is confronted with
a serious condition. Frequently
these columns have discussed
thromboangiitis obliterans, which
is the technical name for the con-
dition called Burgers disease.
One of the most serious posi-
BILE results is. OF course. the loss
Of limbs which have to be re-
moved because the tissues have
died.
The disease mostly affects men
between the ages OF 30 and so.
At one time it was found that
it affected particularly the Jew
ish people and that it was almost
invariably associated with men.
More recently numerous cases
have been found among women
as well. Out of almost 1000
patients seen in one of our lare-
est clinics, IS per cent Of the
patients were Jews and 72 per
cent were not Jewish. Ten years
ago the figures showed that 80
per cent of the patients were
Jews and AS per cent were not
Jewish
One OF the most interesting AS
poets of this condition is the re-
lationship of this disease to those
who smoke excessively. These
patients were classified as to the
number of cigarets which they
smoked daily. varying from five
in the first group to 30 or more
ciGarets per day in the fourth
group.
Some of those in the fourth
group used as many as so Gig
arets a day. One of the patients
was in the habit of smoking 20
cigarets daily before breakfast
Ninety-three per cent of these
patients were cigaret smokers
and sc per cent might be con-
sidered as smoking excessively.
Moreover, the authorities found
that it was almost impossible to
persuade patients with this dis
ease to stop smoking.
Now ii has been established by
many studies that smoking does
have definite effects on the blood
vessels and also on the circula-
tion of the blood.
Since the condition is so seri-
Gus patients frequently ask what
their expectancy is for the fu-
ture. The physicians who have
recently studied almost a thou
sand cases believe that early
diagnosis and education of the
patient concerning the nature of
his disease combined with care
of the hands and feet will do
more to lengthen the lives Of
those patients than any other
factor.

CHILDREN IN STORES

Department stores extend an
invitation TO customers TO come
in and buy, but DO they extend
an invitation 10 customers TO
bring their children with them
Mrs Carlyle took her daugh-
ter Ella 10 with her TO the
grocery store. She also brought
two other children along While
mother was busy making pur-
chases. she heard Ella 10 scream
and saw her lying sprawled over
a cardboard carton which was
lying on the floor. Mrs. Carlyle
took her daughter home. A red
spot developed on the child's leg
and the doctor was called.
Eventually suit was brought
against the grocery.
In q recent decision. however.
the Texas court OF appeals ruled
in favor of the storekeeper,
stating:

When Col William Donovan O.
New York vas assistant attor-
new general in tho Coolidge ad-
ministration. Re had bright
idea for recognizing the federal
trade commission and the inter-
state commerce commission.

functions OF each commission IN

commission. for instance. should
have no power To institute pro-
ceedings against business enter
prises that the power 10 do that
should be lodged with an officer
OF some sort who would act as
part Of the executive branch of
the government.
The commission would be
mere tribunal which would hear
the case and render decision.
He also proposed the same pro-
cedure with reference 10 the
utility regulatory commissions.
BIG BOYS
LIKED 1T
The plan was hailed with great
satisfaction by the utilities, the
railroads and industrial corpora
tions which do not like regula-
ton and are always happy at any
proposal which tends TO cripple
il. And this OF course would
cripple it. 1t Is sufficiently slow
and sluggish now, but if the reg
ulatory bodies were turned into
mere judicial tribunals we could
be prepared 10 see regulation
would up in even more red tape
than at present.
All this has been more or less
forgotten. But it is interesting
to hear that the New Deal which
is supposed to be such an enemy
OF business, is actually talking
about proposing for the ICC and
the ETC. a scheme which had its
birth in the extreme reactionary
administration of President Cool
idge.
New Deal experts are said to
be working on the plan to re-
duce the ICC and the ETC to the
status of judicial tribunals and
to move the initiating power and
the investigational power over
into some executive department.
When this was proposed by
Colonel Donovan it was opposed
as reactionary scheme to please
the utilities.
When it is trotted out by the
New Deal it will have the ban
ners of liberalism flying over it;

The underlying reason for

WAS economic rather than
political. SIEVE South
American nations intend TO

therefore they were unwil-

Truth is. and our diplomatic
experts realize il, that If Mexico
gets away with her appropriation
of oil lands, other nations will
try it. They will seize mineral
properties, utilities and other

The existence of such q senti-
ment was a devastating disillu-
sionment to our delegation TO

they lugged out ALI Landon to
say that, regardless of party
affiliations, Americans were
united in resenting European
inroads over here. But it didn't
work. The Latins just don't like

In the army and navy air serv-
ices he is sssailed as world
trouhlemaker According 10 pri-
vate adviceS here, Lindbergh still
functions as an Al mechanic and
navigatlonist rather than a Dip
lomat or an expert in interns-
tional relations. He has tattled
in several world capitals about
the air strength of prospective
rivals, and he has slipped inside
information TO Washington on
Europe's aerial forces, particu-
larry Germany's. The result is
that he has become an interna-
tional individual-and incident.
Most revealing indication of
his altered status is that several
national magazines (Americanl
are preparing articles designed
TO discredit his more recent
activities. In the past they re-
fused to print stories which cast
the slightest reflection on him.

The sporting element of California

The fact that the Trojan-Bruin

doubt President Roosevelt would not
have advanced turkey day had he
been informed of this crucial point.
The near victory of Washington

as 7 to 7 tie-was a good turn
for Troy, for it means the Trojans
will go into Saturdays encounter
