ANGINA COMES IN THREE
VARIETIES

There was the time, the one time
in my life when something seemed
to go wrong with my heart all OF a

and started to run out of the house
and then I thought, But whoa
if it were angina would not be go
ing any place"-and presently the
tumultous hrobbing under my
breast bone stopped and except for
a cold sweat I soon felt OK again.
Only theory can conceive to &C
count for it is that I inhaled too
much carbon monoxide - I was
smoking my pipe at the time.
Any smoker (of pipe, cigar or
cigarette) does inhale more or less
CO with every puff-and no matter
whether the smoke Is inhaled" in
the popular sense or expelled from
the mouth Immediately, there is in
evitably some absorption of carbon
monoxide. In fact most If not all
of the i'll effects of smoking are at
tributab'e to carbon monoXide.
Analysis of tobacco smoke tpipe,
cigar. cigarette) shows that it al
ways contains some CO. The pro-
portion of CO increases when
smoking Is slow and the smoker has
to relight. In series Of non
smokers the blood was found to
average Is per cent saturation with
CO Exposure to air polluted by
exhaust from automobile engines
and other sources Of monoxide);
while smokers, after ten to fifteen
cigarettes, showed co saturation.

cent to 4.3 per cent (HanSon & Hast

DR.. Osler practice, '95, distin-
guished true angina pectoris from
neurotic angina, perhaps the most
striking difference being that the
victim of neurotic angina is agitat-

DR.. Harlow Brooks, (Angina Pee

another variety of angina which he
called toxic angina and ascribed to
abuse of tobacco, coffee, and tea.

from any other agent" Then he
adds that 1.-The author has never

The bombers, which few through
the first heavy snowstorm of the

encountered the fiercest ground de-
fenses they have met on their last
seven trips to the Ruhr.
While the heaviest were unload

Northern Germany and attacked
Berlin.
Thick clouds began enveloping the
bombers as they started across
France and soon they were flying
through binding snowstorm. 1t

sky was so black that pathfinder
planes had to circle the city repeat
edly during the attack to lay color
markers for the bombers.
AN enormous glow over an area
of 2 or miles was the only sign
we had of the success of our at
tack" said a bombardier.
A saturation attack on the Krupp
works, which occupy a large part of
Essen, the night of March 5, 1943,
marked the beginning of the Allies

to undo repairs since made to the
factories.

we'll as the home Office, will vote
whether they wish to be represented
for collective bargaining purposes by
the Commercial Telegraphers Union
(AFD, the American Communica-
tions' Association tCIO) or by
neither.
A majority of the board made up
of Mr.. Houston and Gerard D.
Riley decided that eligibility to vote
should be confined to employees who
were on the payroll Immediately
following October 7, 1943, and who
are still employed by the company
The merger with Postal Tele-
graph occurred at that time.
The seven units are the metro

support of proposal, which If

In an interview with the Cheyenne

clared: Little wars grow into big
wars. Such wars should be stopped
before they begin, not by debates on
the floors of Congress but by positive
action before they have a chance to
start. They should be stopped by
the police power of an international
organization before there is any
possibility of their becoming big
wars"

Security Setup Needs
Power to Act, Boil Says

BALTIMORE, Oct. "a Ex-senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota said
last night that unless all nations in
an international peace agency
pledge in advance the forces neces-
sary to put down aggression, the
organization will be simply de-
batting society, without power to
act, and future aggressors will sneer
at it just as Hitler sneered at the
League of Nations"
In an address urging prompt Gre
alton of a powerful peace agency,
Senator Ball said that if Congress
reserves the right to consider each
particular case before American
forces can act against aggressors,
others nations will make similar
reservations.
This will mean, he said, that
well have no more certainty of
international law enforcement than
we had in the 20s and 30s."
Asserting that the world security
organization would be preserving
peace. not making war, Senator Ball
said he could not see where the
constitutional authority of Congress
to declare war is concerned in the
slightest" He said in nine cases in
ten, force would be unnecessary.
