the kidney to contract as age ad-
vances, and the shutting off of the
kidney blood vessels alone is enough
to raise pressure. The process is
long, gradual and painless, and
need cause no immediate alarm.
Other Factors
But there are other factors. Re-
search has shown that when there
is an interference with the kidney
circulation, certain chemicals are
formed which, being absorbed, cause
the blood vessels all over the body
TO ccY...--.c. end thus raise blood
pressure.
Here we have stated the two pos
sible ways in which blood pressure
is raised-one mechanical, the other
chemical, by some substance circu-
lating in the body which affects the
tension of the circulation.
Among such substances are the
secretions of the ductless glands.
The automatic nervous system has
control over the construction or ex-
pansion of the size of the blood YES
sells and it, in turn, is controlled by
the ductless glands.
1t is common finding in enlarge
ment of the thyroid gland that a
rise in blood pressure occurs.
Adrenal Glands
Even more intimately associated
with blood pressure are two others
of the ductless glands-the adre-
mails. The substance which these
glands secrete, adrenalin, will i'm
mediately raise blood'pressure when
injected into the body. If we may
assume condition in which an
extra amount of adrcnalin is con-
stantly secreted, we have perfect
condition for the production of
chronic high blood pressure.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

C. c.: "Is pure alcohol beneficial
as facial astringent, especially to
close the pores Of the face and nose
after blackheads have been pressed
out?"
Answer-Yes, alcohol is consid-
cred by cosmetic dermatologists as
the leading astringent, both active
and as vehicle. 1t is also antisep-
tic and evaporates quickly and hence
is cooling. Others are alum, vinegar,
lemon juice, resorcin and sulphur.
A good astringent lotion is: Alum

glycerin-one and a half drains;
alcohol-three drains; water enough
to make three ounces.

c.: "What are the symptoms of
adenoids? Can they cause one to be

Causes Of Increase
in Blood Pressure

More and more frequently of late,
removal of the adrenal glands has
been performed to relieve high
blood pressure and with consider
able degrees of success.
The relation of other glands to
high blood pressure has often been
suggested. When all the glands
stop functioning, as in the memo
pause, there is no question OF the
effect on blood pressure. Enough OF
these relationships have been point
ed out to make the point that high
blood pressure is not single entity
but that a combination of causes
may enter into any single case.

No doubt some may take exception

IT HAPPENED IN
MINNEAPOLIS

Youth will have easier Shedding in
1910, if indications of late 1889 are to
be considered as prophetic The school
board has organized a committee on
youth welfare, which is composed of
some of the better versed in the prob
lens of youth.
Our group is represented by c. w.
Washington, as member of the execu
tive committee, John Thomas, coordin-
ating committee. Neighborhood groups
are also active in the field as several
meetings are planned or have been
held, during the past few weeks.
None seem willing to hit at the pro-
blem, that makes the youth problem as
complex as it is.
We refer to the problem of those
who think that they are young or to
use common parlance, the "foxy grand
pas, and grandmas" who forget that
youth may be watching their antics.
While we all have our ambitious
moments at forty or better, nothing
gives youth bigger bang, than to see
gray beard wagging to the tune of
"In the Mood" or rouge filled wrinkles
trying to prove they are double
jointed to the tune of 'Junpin' Jive"
It's OK. by me, but it is pretty hard
to respect what you laugh at.
Then the old problem of restoring
prosperity by way of the tavern; those
who believe in the antidote for hard
times, certainly put themselves out of
the running, when they hope to advise
youngsters. Making a general public
ass out of oneself and then hoping to
command the respect that went hand
in hand with bygone generations, just
simply doesn't add up
Since we have gone this far we may
as we'll stick our necks out on the
great local evil.
For years, supposedly good citizens
hawke tolerated vicious social elements
among our group on the grounds that
they were a police problem. Maybe
they were right, so was the man who
let his house burn on the graunds that
it was the duty for the fire department.
Panderers have destroyed many and
many an opportunity for Jobs for our
youth.
One generation tolerated them, and
we see the next in too many cases,
openly admiring them.
One cannot blame kids for admiring
fine clothes, fine cars, and an existence
that calls for neither weaving or spin
ming.
We must blame the o1dsters who
have let their lack of intestinal forti-
tude keep them following the dictates
of their conscience.
Twelve hardheaded persistent worth
while Negroes, could abate this menace
in less than a year.
This would be getting rid of one of
the worst stumbling blocks in the
path of any Negro youth program. No
doubt it would make some jobs, for
barring the risks that our bad folk
have made evident, most worth while
white folk would like to see Negroes
self-supporting.

civic economics, but a surprising num-

ReIiefin 1910

For those who have seriously and
honestly felt that the single impor-
tant responsibility of the Federal
relief program is to provide adequate
and effective support for the unem-
ployed, the program just authorized
by Congress in the 1910 relief ap-
preparation bill is measureably an
Improvement over conditions which
have recently prevailed.
While representing no substantial
change in the total of funds from
that which was sought by the Works
Progress Administration, the supply
bill does establish new standards for
administration to a point where pre-
vlous extravagances or unduly high
expenditures will be eliminated.
For instance, wider distribution of
relief funds may result from abolish
ment OF the present so-called pre-
vailing wage requirement; and
greater equity may result from the
creation of uniform 13O-hour
month as the basis for the security
wage.
And while there may seem at first
glance some logic in the contention
that the limitation of W.P A. build
ing projects to $4,000 maximum
cost may tend toward a return of
"leaf-raking," more reasoned thought
convlnces that such need not be the
case. Because of its very nature, the
w. P. A. never has been a signally
successful construction agency and
a limitation upon such ventures
actually should be in the interests of
economy.
Without reflection on present ad-
mlnistration of the program, many
nave felt with considerable iustifi-
cation that the setting up of a three
man bipartisan administrative board
would be step toward greater safe
guarding of the fundamental purpose
OF the relief system. Since the Senate
stood firmly against this experiment.
1t is being passed by temporarily at
least.
1t is recognized, of course, that
complete efficiency is difficult if not
impossible to attain in task of such
magnitude as that of caring for the
millions OF unemployed. At the same
time, it is sincerely believed that the
administrative outlines set forth in
the new appropriation bill will be a
positive step in this direction.
Evening star., 1939-07-03
Poy Inequity

Restrictive legislation generally
can be counted on to breed discrim-
ination, and the pay-freezing proviso
OF the Reorganization Act is proving
no exception.
The Civil Service Commission
cites one example in pointing out
that employees involved in transfers
or consultations are barred from
pay raises during the fiscal year Just
opening, even though they may be
assigned to higher duties, while new
comers to the service, for the same
work, would get the proper wage.
Another marked Inconsistency is
developed In the decision of Con-
troller General Fred H. Brown in
which he properly holds that the
promotion ban will not apply to the
new Federal Loan Agency because
President Roosevelt's order creating
it designates this grouping of lend
ing units as Coordination" rather
than a merger or transfer. AS a re-
suit, some twenty thousand employees
obtain an eligibility for advancement
that is denied under the same cir
cumstances to eighty-eight thousand
others.
II a penny-wise Congress sees fit
to maintain the existing wage scale,
that is one thing. There is no JUS
tice, however, in withholding from
workers compensation to which they
rightfully may become due.
1nasmuch as employe organiza-
tlons unsuccessfully opposed the pro-
motion restriction before it became
effective, it is not likely that a
remedy will be forthcoming now.
Certainly, however, the next session
OF Congress should not hesitate to
correct this situation.

Safe Fourth

Government records show that not
more than five thousand American
soldiers were killed in the Revolu-
tlonary War. The actual figures are
reported by Major General James F.
Mckinley as having been four thou
sand and forty-four. Granted that
even a single precious life was a
high price to pay, it would seem that
the cost of national independence
was relatively low.
But the annual celebration of the
Fourth of July exacts a prodigious
toll. The National Safety Council
says that eight thousand seven
hundred and twenty people were
mortally hurt and approximately
eight hundred thousand were seri-
ously injured in the seventh month
OF 1888. Only by the exercise of par
ticular caution can the harvest of
death be restricted.
Accidents, everybody knows, result
from carelessness. They are not
inevitable. Every motorist is aware
OF the hazards of crowded highways.
Similarly, the public is conscious of
the fact that firearms and fireworks
are dangerous. 1t also is true that
the average individual has been
educated to understand the perils of
unguarded swimming, especially in
unfamiliar waters. Yet otherwise
sensible men, women and children.
disregarding the risks involved, take
chances with destiny and die in
consequence.
Perhaps it is useless to plead for a
more reasonable attitude of mind
toward the employment of the leisure
afforded by holidays. But The Star
regards it as a duty to appeal once
again for a philosophy of safety.
1t echoes the sentiment of the slogan:
BE alive on the Fifth" The Nation
for which the founding fathers pro-
claimed liberty one hundred and
sixty-three years ago tomorrow needs
its citizens too much to be willing to
see any of them sacrificed to no
purpose.
