THE STANFORD POLL

Insofar as il reflects nationwide
sentiment, former President Her
bert Hooyer's criticism OF the
recent Joint statement of ll6 mem
bers OF the Stanford University fac
ulty who urged a dynamic de
tense" in support of President Roos'
eyelts foreign policy is important
In a statement issued through The
Stanford Daily he says a person
ally conducted poll OF the 500 stan
ford faculty members reveals that
sixty per cent OF the faculty do
not agree with the statement OF
the 176 signers that "a dynamic de-
Tense is the most effective means
OF security against the totalitarian
menace.
Mr.. Hoover says he is particularly
interested in opinion on points
raised by the l76 signers statement
that recognizing the fallacy OF the
idea that a passive defense is still
possible we support a more dynamic
policy OF action.
This expression OF more dy-
manic in connection with defense
obviously presupposes some sort Of
military action" in Mr.. Hooyer's
opinion, so he attempted to clear
the issue with a special survey. The
questions he asked and the votes
he received were.
DO you think We should carry
munitions 10 England in American

OF the whole faculty voted yes; 70

yes.
DO you approve complete naval
action against Hitler in all wa
ters?" Thirty-nine per cent Of the
whole faculty voted yes; g. per
cent OF the l76 voted yes,
DO you think We should send a
land force TO the continent against
Hitler?" Eight per cent OF the whole
faculty were for it now. nine per
cent were for 1t later, SO per cent
were against it; 10 per cent OF the
176 were for 1t now; "a per cent

DO you believe We should de-.

the others said it should be done

Of a human omnibus with some
very valuable passengers:
Halfway, Ore, July 3l-Frank
Louson, n, is put out because the
state ruled he was too old to have
his drivers license renewed with
out taking a special test.
why, I'm a young man in our
family, Louson complained.
HE explained that a brother,
50, pilots his own plane in Alaska ;
his mother did all of her work
until she died at 9s; his father
died at 100, and his immediate
grandparents at 103, 100, 1l9,
and 1913 years respectively"
Longevity Usually Inherited
That certainly tends to support
my old contention that if you are
aiming at. longevity, you should
begin with your grandparents.
People are always asking doctors
what kind of diets and what other
things they should do to live to an
old age. My observation is that,
except in extreme cases of lack of
moderation, it makes very little
difference what you do after so.
The life force gave you a shove
when you were born, and just how
much of a shove determines the
days of your years.
Mr.. Louson, who wanted his
license renewed, probably exag-
gerated just a teeny little bit on
the members of his family who
he claimed lived to be 119 and 1913.
One hundred years is the upper
limit of the span Of human life,
according to our greatest medical
statistician, the late DR.. Raymond
Pearl.
Mistake in Birth Record
The claim Of Thomas Parr, who
was supposed to be 152 when he
died, and Henry Jenkins, who
swan a river at the age of 100,
seventy-nine years before he died,
have been shown to be due to mis-
takes in the record of their dates
Of birth.
Several years ago I began col
Letting books of advice on how to
live to ripe old age. One is by
that reputedly wise man, Lord
Bacon. They are, however, a mel
ancholy collection. Most of the
authors of works on longevity die
young. The only exception was an
Italian, Luigi Carnaro; he advised
a system of living to promote
longevity and he lived to be ninety
himself. But he was over rs when
he began to advise on how to live
long.

anyone with asthma to eat pork or

Answer: A person with asthma
may be sensitive to any of these
substances, but it is unusual. The
only way to find out is to try them
one at time, and eat nothing else;
if no asthma comes on for five
hours after eating one of them,
they are safe.
