CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND
 ABOUT IT

A medical colleague who has ap- parently derived considerable amusement from the works of or Doc Brady says there is one thing I had better make up my mind about, before I get in any deeper than I am now. And then, to my utter flabbergastation, he turns my own words back upon me and says he will take great pleasure watch ing me try to suui1In out of it.
 First, my colleague cites a recent article in which I said, Tt should be apparent from these scientific facts that the condition of the heart and circulation depends to an Important extent on the intake of vitamin B" and, maintains my col- league, strongly inferred, if I did not say in so many words, that pro- longed deficiency in intake of vita min B complex is common cause of cardiovaScular disease.
 We'll, for that statement I have some authority = indeed, in this column only the other day, Weiss and Wilkins (Annals of Internal Medicine) as having concluded, aft CT a study of 120 such cases, that cardiovascular disease from nutri- tional deficiency is of regular oc- currence in this country.
 Next my medical friend quotes this from D. 35 '"The Seven Keys to Vite."
 'Tt is difficult to get any one in- terested in how to prevent harden ing of the arteries until it is too late, that is, until he becomes con- vinced he has the disease - don't give it another thought, but it will do no harm to remember, as a bit of scientific information, that ar- teTiosclerosis is a NUTRITIONAL change, Arrangement or degenera- ton and it BEGINS IN THE IN- TINA, the lining of the artery which. is constantly bathed in the blood stream . . you might won- der what effect an occasional dash of alcohol in the blood has upon the delicate efdothelial cells which line the artery"
 Well, except for the alluSion to alcohol that is not SO far out of the way, it seems to me. But let the critic finish his indictment. Next he turns to Little Lesson No. 21, How to Breathe, where I say (p. 29) that the precise cause of the seizure of angina pectoris is un- known, because examination reveals no abnormal condition that may not bet found in persons who never have such attacks I add that the most plausible explanation for the paro- zy7sm of angina (heart pang) is an- oxia, oxygen deficiency in the heart muscle, and that treatment based on this assumption gives excellent results.
 Summing up, my friend, declares I have now aScribedl cardiovascular disease to three different causes, namely, nutritional deficiency, tox- emia and oxygen deficiency.
 I'm sorTy-the ultimate cause, of course, is anoxia, oxygen deficiency, reduced supply of oxygen which is essential constantly to keep the body cells alive and functioning. The other two causes operate by lowering metabolis7n, that is, the ox- idation process, the rate of combus- tion in the body, the efficiency of the machine.

 Don't let men fool you, girls. Don't let their criticisms of your get-ups get you down. They really like that unique coiffure- that spec tacular hat-that soigne evening gown-but they'll never let you know it.
 Escorts love to have their part nerS cause a senSation-so long as it's not hySteria-in a crowd. They want their women to be more than merely "well-dressed" and well groomed." They think you should be the center of all eyes, but they seldom compliment your clothes. MAYBE THE LADS
 ARE JUST JEALOUS
 Maybe it's jealousy-the subcon- scious jealousy of the male animal, who through years of evolution was the sportier of the species. Maybe it's merely a method they use to keep us women down.
 Take that spring chapeau, for in- stance. Don't pick a plain, pale thing that no one can distinguish from your hair. Any woman looks better in an unusual hat. If she's plain, it adds some brightness to her face. If she's pretty it helps to set her good looks off.
 But don't go haywire and choose something that's downright silly. Play down the birds-in-hight, and Eiffel towers, and designs that look like Chinese puzzles. Choose some thing that suits your coloring and your clothes. Remember that hats are accessories that are made to be worn as well as looked at.

LOOK STRIKING,
 BUT NOT SHOCKING

A small, plump woman looks silly in high-crowned hat topped with a two-foot feather And any woman who's big and buxom had better skip millinery in the minia- ture line.
 Your clothes should be striking not shocking. But if they're new, and unusual, and suit your looks and personality, they can do lot for you.
 Though men will never let you know it.

Secret Service Is Now
 Increasing Guard Over
 FOR in These Tense Days

the only rest and relaxation he gets these days; those occasional junkets to defense centers; an even the across town trips to ban quets call for elaborate prepara- ticns. It isn't that any one really fears that some attack might be made on the President or that some embarrassing situation might arise. It's just that precautions have to be taken to see that such things are practically impossible
 That's the reason that the Presi- dent nearly always comes and gees by back doors; that a cordon Of Secret Service men convoy him even on his little drives around the city; that he never rides a train but what another train leads the way to be sure that the way is clear, that when he attends the Press Club banquet, filled to over flowing with newspaper men who already have been mugged and printed" in order to get their press passes, he will be one of the few men in the room who hasn't been fingerprinted.

In the first place, the capitals wholesale fingerprinting has turned up several persons with interest ing records and at least three whose records put them definitely under suspicion as possible sub versive individuals" These, of course, are weeded out before the President makes his appearance.
 In world at war, the business of guarding the President has be- come one of the most narrowing assignments in Washington-not entirely because of increasing threats of danger = but because President Roosevelt is one of the most informal Presidents of mod ern times. He abhors the idea of being prisoner of the Secret Service. He likes to come and go as he pleases, to see whenever he wishes to see and without having his callers subjected to a thorough going over before they are admit ted to his office.
 Since the Secret Service is charged specifically. by law, with seeing that no harm comes to the President, his informality is to them a hardship. The close guard maintained at the White House is now pretty much routine. The doormen, guards, Secret Service and White House police know their duties and it's thousand to one that no One-Eyed Conally is going to crash his way into 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue but | when the President goes out and he often does, it's another story
