Physiological Age Is What Counts, Doctor Tells Us;
Never Mind How Many Birthdays Have Come and Gone

Medical science, of course, is well
equipped to undertake serious in
vestigation of aging, based on thor
ough clinical methods. The problem
of testing has been approached from
many different directions.
AS group, most people are
younger than they think. Their life
expectancy is rapidly increasing in
an unprecedented manner. Others,
as individuals, are today older than
they think. Their life expectancy
has been diminished prematurely by
wrong habits and inadequate med
ical care, matters which could and
should be changed.
Chronic diseases are the enemy
number one of the second part of
our lifespan. A thorough and accu-
rate analysis of real age" for each
of us would be most helpful in the
early discovery of chronic diseases,
in their prevention, and in the treat
ment that can be most efficient at
an early stage.

Summer Millinery
IL Is Most Exciting
Huge-Brimmed Black Hats,
Filmy Sheers Lead Parade.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Never were millinery fashions
SO varied, so temperamental in
mood. There is such bewilderment
OF types included in this seasons col
lections you can hardly go wrong
as far as being Sin style'' is con-
cerned, no matter what you may
choose.
The spectacular entrance of huge
brimmed hats, notably in black,
navy and brown tones ranging from
dark to toast shades, is the big thrill
OF the moment. To be sure, the
saucy, sissy" sailor is a topnotch
fashion but some of the newcomer
straw sailors are simply enormous.
These large dramatic hats seem to
have an affinity for gay print dresses
and they are also stunning worn with
modish simple black frocks, also
with summer suits.
Perfectly beautiful large black
sheers will be worn this summer.
Worn with the modish black dinner
gown or the slim black daytime
frock, these filmy black hat crea-
tons present an arresting theme.
Some are made of sheer horsehair
braid, others of lace, net or tulle.
They may be strictly all black or
they may flourish huge rose for
highspot of color.
One of the most breathtaking hap
penings in the millinery realm is
the tremendous use being made of
hght-as-air sheers. For breathtak-
ing loneliness they battle descrip-
ton. Airy-fairy masses of diaph-
anous pleatings, ruchings, poufs and
loops are banked up like snowy
clouds on lovely sheer hats, the likes
OF which have not been seen, at least
by this generation.
When first you see these lovely
summer creations you feel a thrill
OF surprise, because they bespeak
new millinery outlook. Their love-
Illness grows on you and the fact that
they are so utterly summary and
feminine fits them right into the
scheme of things during the COM
ing months.
For women who prefer little hats
rather than wide brims, the new
flower wreath on a headband founda-
ton carries definite appeal. These
are having a tremendous vogue.

Every physician today knows that
our chronological age, as measured
by years, and our physiological age,
as indicated by the functions of our
bodies, are not the same, states DR..
Martin Gumpert in his article,
years for the Asking" in Esquire
magazine. The tempo of the aging
process is different not merely for
each individual, with one biological
clock striking twelve at an age when
others, equal in years, are still at
an earlier hour i. our emotional,
mental and physical capacities also
may differ greatly from our legal
age. A physician may meet a pa
tient aged 40, who has the emotional
status of 15-year-old, the mental
maturity of 50-year-old, and the
physical age of 30-year old.
Even the separate organs of a sim
gle body age differently. The eyes
may be 60, the skin, only 40, when
the physiological condition is COM
pared with ''the norm" Age may
strike first at vital organ such as
the heart or brain, where failing
function will have serious conse-
quences.
