| possible antidote to this once-fatal ailment."
 In the same vein, the heart spec. ialist said: "In diagnosing a heart condition, it is impossible to pre- dicate longevity beyond a year or two. And even then, to say the pa- tent may live one or two-much less-years, is equivalent to saying I don't know how long he may live"
 Here introduced the question of the advisability of your marry ing and asked the specialists opin- ion. He said, Life is what you make it-with faith and courage and love. Doctors are human and their judgment is fallible; but the more see of such cases, the more reluctant am to oppose marriage in the circumstances. Once did and I am glad to saySthe parties ignored my advice and had II years bliss ful marriage before the wife was left a widow with two fine children, memories of perfect comradeship, and - as she says prospects of family ties as long as she lives. She probably never would have married another man."
 He cited other anonymous in stances. among them one union which produced a youngster now brilliant musician, whose gifts are being proudly fostered by devoted stepfather-the widows second hus- band. And of your young man he says, He might live longer than his doctors think, if marriage to the girl brought him full measure of that special happiness humans can find in no other relationship. And if she has the maturity of spirit never to fear the outcome, if she considers marriage in the circum- stances a privilege and not risk"
 Finally, the general practitioner half-seriousiy, half-humorously asks Have doctors given the boy five years to live? Or is he just telling the girl that-maybe because he doesn't want to go through with their marriage plans and doesn't know how else to break out?" There's a thought you might in- vestigate. M. H.

Drastic Army Curbs
Urged on Officers
Contractor Contracts

Two Republican Senators de-
manded today that the War Depart
ment place disciplinary teeth in new
instructions banning CLOSE associa-
ton, social or otherwise" between
Army officers and contractors, and
the Army promptly replied that such
provisions already exist.
Commenting on an address made
yesterday by UnderSecretary of War
Kenneth C. Royal in which he out
lined tightening of officer business
man regulations, Senators Brewster
of Maine and Ferguson of Michigan
said the order was fine as far as
it goes.
Senator Ferguson said he thought
the evidence developed by the Sem
ate War Investigating Committee,
of which he and Senator Brewster
are members, was such that there
should be disciplinary action against
some officers involved in the Cars
son munitions combine case
The War Department revealed 1t
is rewriting Army Regulation 600-l0
to make more stringent the provi-
sions pertaining to acceptance of
gifts by Army officers and their
participat ton in affairs of business
men with whom they deal for the
Army.
Whether the penalties will be
made more severe was debatable,
since they already are court martial
offenses. The rewritten regulation
will tighten the restriction against
mixing in social affairs with busi-
nessmen or accepting gifts from
them.
Senator Ferguson said earlier he
believed the new general order" re-
ferred to by Mr.. Royal would not
solve the problem unless backed up
by punitive action"
The War Department said it was
continuing to investigate evidence of
elaborate parties and gift presenta-
tions turned up in the Carson case
to determine TO what extent its pol
icy has been violated.

Washington has lost one OF its
oldest characters.
Giuseppe Ratio. the man who
didn't hold Booths horse, despite
constant stories to the contrary,
died on Monday at Providence Hos
pital and will be buried tomorrow
in st. Mary's Cemetery following
funeral services at the Hanlon
funeral home at $50 am. and
requiem mass at the Holy Rosary
Church at 8 am.
He was 90 years old. Old Wash
ingtonians will remember him as
"Coughdrop joe" the little old man
in a faded derby pulled down over
his ears, an old overlength over
coat dragging on the pavement and
ultra fashionable trousers falling in
LAYERS about shuffiing shoes che
introduced oxford bags to Wash
ington more than so years ago..
For years he poked about downtown
Il ash boxes and cutters. His only
livelihood was the sale of old news
papers to produce and fish dealers.
The story that he held the horse
of John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln S
assassin, started with jest, it Is
said, by a policeman with a fond
ness for the picturesque old Ital-
ian, was the bane of Joe's existence
for many years. Mere mention OF
Booth or his horse threw the old
man into a rage and often he would
chase such a tormentor for blocks.
The story was an obsession with
the old man, and he lived in lear
of being charged with completely in
Lincoln's death.
Giuseppe Ratio got his title OF
"Coughdrop Joe" from the fact that
for years he peddled Lewis Famous
Coughdrops about the downtown
saloon district of Washington.
He came to the District in 1861,
it is said, after first settling in Phila-
delphia on arriving in this country
on a sailing vessel from his native
Italy.
Another popular story with old
timers is that Joe was injured in
the reconstruction of the old Will
lard Hotel almost so years ago and
that was the reason for his small
stature and shuttle. 1t is said that
$500 is the most ne ever saved at
one time, and that he lost that in
real estate crash some IS years ago.
For years he lived in the 400 block
of Tenth street NV, above a sec
ond- hand furniture store. No one
was allowed to enter his room, from
