II always has been my belief
that delivering a baby required
considerable medical knowledge

Yet ] am always hearing OF
men who have had no medical

A taxi driver was telling me
that one stormy night he re-
ceived a call TO a house in the
suburbs and found there a
woman who wanted to be taken
to a hospital for a blessed
event.
The taxi skipper, the father
of several children, saw he
couldn't get the woman to the
hospital on time.
He tried TO get a nearby doc
tor. His effort failed.
Finally, in desperation, he
called the radio police.
The police arrived promptly

Better Health
by DIR. Logan Clendening

WE HAVE been told and
w warned over and over again
of late about the increase of
heart disease in the United
States and the effect Of high
pressure living.
Often as / have read these re-
ports, can say in the first place
they do not scare me and in the
second place / think they are
quite unnecessary.
They are, in most instances,
scare heads.
We have more heart disease
nowadays because more people
attain an age in which heart dis
ease is prevalent than in previ-
GUS generations.
In strenuous times like these
IL Is impossible 10 be worried all
the time about your individual
health when there is work TO be
done.
IN MY experience, anyway,
i there are certain people who
can make any amount of effort
without putting any strain on
their hearts, and, on the other
hand, there are certain people
who are very subject TO heart
upsets from the stress and ex-
citement Of daily life.
This is not TO say that the
stress and excitement of high
pressure living does not have
an effect upon the heart, espe-
cially on that form of heart dis
ease which is the most frequent
cause of death and disability
nowadays.
This form is angina pectoris,
or spasm OF the arteries of the
heart.
These arteries are under nerv-
Gus control and the nerves con-
trolling them are connected
with the central nervous sys-
TEN, so naturally in periods of
emotional stress or business
excitement the arteries 90 into
cspaSm.
THE fact that men, more often
u than women, suffer from
angina pectoris is an indication
tn a business responsibilities
have something TO do with the
condition.
A recent interesting report
by Doctors Schwartz and Har-
vey of New York indicates that
in the financial area of New York
the number of cases of angina
pectoris and coronary artery
heart disease is much greater
than in the general population.
They have made exact studies
Of number of their cases.

fore going to a regular navy
center 10 have their shortcom-
ings discovered there. At first
the boys were enlisted, but on
the inactive list.
Now they are on active duty,
receive a salary. and the gov
ernment pays for their training
and subsistence and considers it
an economy to spot a wash
out" early rather than late.
Moreover, the students are
under navy discipline.
Cliff Davis is one of those air
veterans who maintains his in
terest in the flying game to the
extent of taking instructions
himself in all the newest angles
of the thing and he has al
ready turned out several classes
of highly efficient young STU
dents.
The instruction at Southwest
IS extremely practical, consist
ing of flying in tough little
training planes and extensive
classroom work. After leaving
Southwest, the boys go to a
regular navy center on the Pa
cific Coast for drilling and edu-
cation in other navy routine.
The students at Southwest are
quite young and come from all
over the United States. The
present class numbers about 40.
Because a boy fails as a f1ier. IL
does not follow that his navy
career Is finished.
He may be of great value In
some other line of duty. but
what the navy wants Southwest
to find out first, is the kid a
f1ier?

patients shows that the highest
number of patients fall within
the age period of as TO 49, which
is little earlier than might be
expected.
THE incidence remains high
L until about go, when it drops
sharply.
When you get to the age of
65, no matter what you are
doing. you are not in any more
danger of angina pectoriS than
if you were 35.
The monthly incidence shows
unquestionably the relationship
between heart attacks and the
volume of business.
The largest number occurred
in the month of d e C m b r,
which is the busiest month on
the stock exchange and in most
other businesses.
The month of lowest incidence
is April, from which it rises
gradually so that July. August
and September are reasonably
high months.
THE daily incidence also re-
Il flected the same trend.
The largest number occurred
on Monday and Tuesday
From then there is a sharp
drop 10 Thursday, then a rise
on Friday and then another
drop.
The day on which the fewest
number of heart attacks occur
among business men is Sunday.
The hourly incidence shows
the largest number of attacks at
IL o'clock in the morning and
the lowest number at 3 to 5 in
the morning.
1t would seem to be indicated
that if you get past lunch time
on Wall Street, you are fairly
safe for the rest of eday.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
c. F.: What causes a lack of
h ydroc h loric acid in the
stomach?
Answer: Hydrochloric acid Is
deficient or absent in the
stomach contents in cases of
an atrophy of the cells of the
stomach walls.
1t should be thoroughly in
vestigated by an X-ray of the
stomach and also an examina-
tion of the blood TO see whether
there is any anemia, which often
accompanies it.
If anemia is present, Il should
be treated with liver extract: if
it is a simple lack of hydro
chloric acid. il is possible 10 use
diluted hydrochloric acid with
the meals.

OF this nature.
DERHAPS the most incongru-
L Gus touch to the Phoenix
flying scene is the presence,
miles and miles from ocean
water, of navy student fliers.
They seem almost as far from
what should be their native ele-
ment as the boys from England
at Falcon Field or the Chinese
at T'hunderbird. But, of course,
you do not require an ocean to
train lad for the air.
The navy students are at a
field called Southwest a SEMI
private enterprise in which Le-
land Hayward, the Hollywood
agent who may be further iden-
titled as the husband of Mar
garet SULLIVAN, is a moving
spirit, and their presence there
is a time saving element intro
duced by the navy in the air
education OF It's prospective
aviators.
1t sends patches of the young
sters who are trying for the
Navy Air Corps for training
under Cliff, Davis, a well known
veteran aviator. who is in
charge of the field with a staff
of experienced instructors under
him. the idea being that any
deficiencies of the boys indicat-
ing they would never be able
to make the navy grade will be
caught there before the service
has wasted money and effort on
the regular routine.
IN short, the students may be
J washed OUT at Southwest
on their flying possibilities be-
