NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-Mild pres.

a retreating mood today and leaders
gave up fractions to point or more.

Steels and Chemicals on.
Steels and chemicals were dis

as though their bullish drive had

Pressure increased against do

can issues after a morning show of
stability in the rail group of the
bond market today.
/ Losses ranged to more than 2
points near the end of the session.
Offerings of South American bonds

NEW YORK. May s.-Baby Jean
Maura Fitzgerald, suffering from a
rare metabolic malady, can't drink
milk, dislikes lollypops-but thrives
on soybesns.
When Jean, 18-month- old daugh-
ter OF John and Constance Fitz-
gerald, was born October 80, 1910,
she weighed pounds ounce.
A few weeks later she dropped to
8 pounds IS ounces, so her parents
took her tn Babies Hospital.
There DR.. Charles l.. Wood. as
sistant pediatrician, found that the
chemistry of Jeans body could not
break down food properly, and above
all could not tolerate milk sugar.
Experimentation disclosed that
Jean could get along without milk,
normally the chief staple of children,
by substitution OF a diet Of foods
which together had equal nourish-
ment. Her principal food source has
been the soybean and Its deriva-
tives.
Unusual in her inability to drink
milk, Jean is different from other
babies in another way. Her mother
has to c0ddle her to eat lollypops,
which she must have. Mrs. Fitz-
gerald said. because they contain
necessary sugar-not milk sugar, but
other kinds"
IF we don't watch her, she just
chews the wooden stick and then
throws the lollypop itself away"

Lower Death Rate Of Married
Folks Kills an Ancient Joke

and l per cent for the widowed
were attributed to alcoholism,
while for the married, there was
only a little more than Y of l
per cent.
Accidents More Frequent
Accidents appear to happen
more often to people living alone
than to those who have family at
tachments. Single and widowed
people r more inclined to take
serious risks. The death rate
among widowed males between the
ages of twenty and forty-four
was due to accidents in % per
cent of all deaths. This is an as
to..ishing figure. tuberculosis and
accidents taken together account
for almost one-half of the deaths
in this group.
Suicide is also higher among the
single and widowed, which would
seem to indicate that the respon-
sibility of a family tends to
strengthen the will to live even
when seemingly insurmountable
problems present themselves.
Another group of diseases which
indicate that there is some differ
ence between the married and
single state is influenza and pneu-
monia. Single and widowed males
between forty-five and seventy
four have a rate Of 7, while the
same group among the married
have a rate of 6. That females do
not show quite the marked differ
ence might be interpreted as indi-
eating that the married men have
someone to look after them and
hutter over them and make them
change from wet to dry clothes and
keep them from exposure.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
NJ. S.: IF n is X-rayed and
fluoroscoped and the appendix is
not seen or does not fill with bari
UNI, does this indicate that there
is trouble in this region or that
there is no trouble there?"
Answer: In my opinion the K
ray has no value whatever in the
diagnosis of any kind of appendi-
citis. 1t was only by accident that
a French doctor once saw the ap-
pendix visualized by the X-ray. 1
think it was a great tragedy that
he did see it, because it has led to
condemning many normal appen-
dices, and to useless surgery.

little stale to you, but that craWl-
er of two on the floor is going to
get a big kick out of it about four
years from now is that nobody Is
ever going to know whether the
chicken really crosses the road to
get on the other side or whether
he has some ulterior mystical mo-
tive in his psychological psy-
chology.
But one joke is dead. The Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, with cold, clammy logic, has
proved that the old one about why
married people live longer-"they
don't, it only seems longer"-is
not a joke but is literally true.
Among males in the essentially
productive ages of life, the death
rate among the single or widowed
is about double that among the
married, according to statistics for
New York State, exclusive of New
York City, for the years 1929 to
1881.
Recorded Rates
At the age of forty, the actual
automatically recorded rates
we're 6 per 1000 among the mar
RED and II per 1000 among the
SINGLE and IS among the widowed.
Single women and widows are a
little less resistant than their
married colleagues. At the age Of
forty, married women have a
death rate of 5 per 1000 as against
4 among single and 7 among
widows.
Of course, these figures are open
to a certain amount of interpre-
tation. Widows and wilowers are,
by the very nature of their situa-
ton, older than married people
and therefore the death rate is
higher.
The same does not, however, APP
ply to the single people, but other
factors enter in. Alcoholism, for
instance, particularly among
males, is far more prevalent
among the single and widowed
than among married people. The
actual figures show that 1l2 per
cent of all deaths at the ages of
twenty to forty-four for the single
