Thin Men Live Longer
Must We Have War?
The welt advertised Queen Mary,
looking very big moving up to her
New York dock,
represented In
reality the quin
tessence of com
pressed power.
On the way over
she developed
one hundred and
sixty thousand
horse power.
That number
of horses hitched
In pairs, one
ahead of the
other, would
make a “team”

fy miles long. Still more remark
able power compression is that of
the flying engine, which compresses
the power of a 1,000-pound horse
Into less than three isninds of metal.
The government offered for sale
six hundred millions of 2% per cent
bonds, four hundred millions of 1%
per cent notes. The whole Issue Is
oversubscribed.
It Is n comfort for those that
have money and want no risk to
Invest even at low Interest rates,
free of income tax payments.
Such an investment Is much sim
pler than running the risk of a
business enterprise with pay rolls
and Jobs attached.
To tax heavily the man who uses
Ills money and brains to give work
to others, and free from taxation
those that buy bonds and take their
ease, Is a brand-new kind of democ
racy.
Mon of middle age and older may
learn from Civil war veterans In
the Memorial day parade, some
ninety and some ninety-three; one,
who led New York city's O. A. It.
procession, past ninety six years of
age.
All the old soldiers are very thin
men, averaging In weight less than
140 pounds, llad they been fat they
would he In the grave, not In any
parade.
General Pershing cut a big birth
day cake with a general’s sword,
Mrs. Hoosevelt looking on, and on
Memorial day he warned America
against another war.
To believe that this country cnn
be dragged Into a war without a
repetition of our big war folly Is
not complimentary to those In
charge. No foreign nation would
force war on the United States, and
thus put United States resources,
and any fighting qualities that Amer
icans inay possess, on the side of
that foreign nation's enemies.
The unfortunnte Congressman
Zioncheck, from the Northwest, Is
locked up In Washington, his san
ity to be Investigated, after he vis
ited the White House with a pres
ent of empty beer bottles for the
President.
The unfortunate congressman's
antics are not important In them*
Helves, but you wonder what quali
ties were seen In him by voters that
nent him to congress.
The United States Supreme court
declared unconstitutional a New
York state law that would permit
•New York to tlx a minimum wage
for women and children.
Chief Justice Hughes, who did
not agree with the majority opinion,
wrote: “I find nothing in the fed
eral Constitution which denies to
the state the power to protect wom
en from being exploited by over
reaching employers.”
Alfred P. Sloan. Jr., who ought to
know about American Industry, says
enormous building operations are
needed In the United States to re
place out-of-date equipment, nnd
that the door Is wide open for
“plenty of jobs and then more Jobs."
American cotton growers fighting

Farmers fight the locusts by erect

Lovely Lace Makes Lovely Brides
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
COMES now fashion's big
moment to play up ro
mance and the picturesque
for the June bride-to-be Is
calling, calling for lovely
gowns for herself and her
attendants that shall group Into a
“perfect picture” on her wedding
day.
What bride Is not a “vision of
loveliness”? Her gown Is so care
fully selected and fitted, her veil Is
made Just so—to tune perfectly to
her Individuality, to drape correct
ly, at the same time begulllngly, over
the head and down while the train
must hang In Just the right propor
tion and line with the dress.
Many n spring bride this 1030
found the expression of her dream
of a vision of loveliness In a lace
gown and veil. With Its Importance
In the current fashion picture gen
erally It but follows In the natural
sequence of events that lace should
become first choice with brides.
Not only does tbe lace gown In
Itself enhance feminine charm to
the utmost but lace for the bride
brings up the splendor and richness
of former periods, when lace played
so Important a part In the costumes
of historical and royal brides. The
fact of the lure of lace for brides
was dramatically brought out In a
“Brlde-of-Two-CenturlesT showing
recently held In New York, In which
fifteen period bridal costumes copied
from those worn by prominent
ladles In the last two hundred years
was the feature.
Which brings us to a very Impor
tant subject—that of the fashion
approval of color for the bride In
stead of the traditional all-white.
A modern bride may wear lovely
blush pink or Ice blue or any tone
or In tint that strikes her fancy.
One of the attractions of a “lace
wedding" is thnt lace offers every
opportunity to work out fascinating
color schemes, for this existing Hair
for lace Is not exclusive with the
bride but the theme Is carried out
for bridesmaids as well. One of the
newest gestures Is that of lace
dresses, with cunning lace capos for
each bridesmaid.
Brides, too, are looking Into the
future In the selection of the wed
ding gown, huvlng in mind a dress
that may be worn later to social
events. This feature is admirubly
Interpreted In the very chic and
lovely gown In the Illustration,
Since the full long train Is detach
able at the waist, the dress alone
becomes perfect for the cocktail or
dinner hour. The sweep of the
train, and the smooth silhouette of
the gown cut on true princess lines
are the more lovely because of the
lace of fine alencon of which this
bridal gown Is designed. The dress
with Its narrow waist and tailored
neckline, buttons all the way down
the front. Tulle Is used for the
veil which falls In a beguiling drape
over the face and hangs quite long
at the back.
The bride In the foreground
chooses exquisite chantilly lace for
her gown. It bespeaks an elegance
of simplicity In every detntl. The
effective arrangement of the tulle
veil ndds greatly to the glory of the
“picture."

Lace Dresses Continue to
Be Tops at Paris Show

Requiring Heart Sufferer*
THERE was one lesson
learned during the war that
has been of help to patients,
their families, and to all physi
cians. That lesson is that be
cause a heart has a leaking
valve, is perhaps a little rapid
or even irregulur, there Is no reason
why the individual should not go
about his work or life in the usual
way and live as long as those whose
hearts show none of these symptoms.
Men with heart* of these various
types get along Just as well as those
whose hearts showed none of these
conditions.
Sir Maurice Cassidy, in the Brit
ish Medical Journal, in speaking of
those who worry about their henrt,
sums up the treat
ment In the single
word “reassurance."
Formerly If a pa
tient had a mur
mur, a little Irreg
ularity or the heart
was neating rapid
ly the physician
would mention the
fact to him with
the words, “Don’t
overdo yourself” or
Dr. Barton “Y®“ » have t0, “
a little careful.
Now the average Individual does not
worry much about his liver, kidneys
or stomach but one word about the
heart and he becomes greatly
alarmed.
Doctor Cassidy says that there Is
no use telling the patient that the
heart Is a little flabby or that there
Is a slight murmur of no great Im
portance, for to the average patient
anything amiss with the heart
hrlngs to his rnlnd the most serious
possibilities.
Tell Patient Condition
He must tell the patient that he
has or he has not a serious heart
condition. If It Is not serious he
should he told so.
And even when there Is actual
heart disease but the patient Is able
to curry on with the ordinary rou
tine of his life without much breath
lessness, If he sleeps well, and If
there Is no evidence of heart failure
—swelling of the feet—he can be
assured that his heart disease Is not
a serious malady and that he should
live a goodly number of years.
And even when the heart condi
tion Is serious, if the patient Is
willing to “live within the limits of
his strength" he may live many
years. The whole thought is to
take away from the patient any
worry or unsettlement of mind, so
that he knows exactly where he
stands.

Epilepiy Often Mimomer
"The word epilepsy has been car
rying a message of desolation and
despair Into the ears and minds of
countless numbers of patients over
many centuries. The average Indi
vidual believes that epilepsy Is an
Incurable disease, that there will be
an ever Increasing number of at
tacks. each one more dreadful and
devastating than the previous one,
that It cannot lie controlled by med
icine or treatment, condemning the
sufferer to mentnl decay (insanity),
and sure to descend upon the indi
vidual at the wrong time—In the
street car, office, shop, theater,
movie, or In any sort of social gath
ering.”
I am quoting Dr. Henry Alsop
Riley of the Neurological Institute In
an address before the Medical So
cial Service section of the Welfare
council of New York city.
Doctor Riley stated that the word
epilepsy should not be used because
the patient with ordinary “convul
sive” attacks or symptoms Immedi
ately felt that lie had the severest
type of epilepsy and became para
lyzed In will, ambition and work
with deplorable results to himself,
his family, and Ills future, often with
drawing Idmself completely from all
artistic, cultural and social life.
Merely "Convulsive" State
Also the Idea that patients suf
fering with so-called epilepsy will
have children who will suffer with
these attacks is not true, unless It
Is well established in the family, or
Is In the families of both parents.
Doctor Riley would call the ma
jority of cases now called epilepsy
simply "convulsive” states.
These convulsive states can ho
controlled by diet and medicine and
the individual can go about his usu
al work, mental or physical; and en
gage In all the various pursuits of
life without fear. If the simplest
suggestions now known everywhere
throughout the world are followed.
These suggestions are:
1. Cut dowu on all liquids—tea,
coffee, water, soft and hard drinks.
2. Cut down on all starch foods—
bread, potatoes, sugar, pastry.
.'1. Increase the fat foods—butter,
cream, fat meat, egg yolks.
4. Take the dose of phenolmrhltal
daily as prescribed by your physi
cian.
Statistics show that Individuals
suffering with this couvulsive state,
epilepsy so-called, are as bright men
tally as uon-sufferers. The only dan
ger mentally that might occur would
be due to the fact that they worry
about the condition and withdraw
themselves.

JUNGLE HUNTING
EASY, BUT ZOO
GETS HIM DOWN
Hans Nagel, curator of the Hons
ton (Texas) zoo, says stalking wild
animals in jungles is a tame job com
pared with that of keeping them in
captivity.
From 1004 to 1012 Nagel roamed
Africa in search of reptiles, bensts
and rare fowls for zoos. And in those
eight years he met with nn accident
only once—a lioness lacerated his
leg.
But In wild life In cages—that’s a
different story, one that has meant
hospitals and suffering to Nagel. He
bears scars from head to foot. A
boa constrictor once almost squeezed
his life out. Caesar, the zoo lion,
hit him through the shoulder. A
stork dived from the top of tlie bird
cage and knocked him unconscious.
A kangaroo has kicked him to the
ground and bitten his arm. Civet
cats, lobo wolves, klnkajous and mon
keys have gashed his hands and
arms. Bobcats and hyenas have at
tacked him. Elephants have trod on
tils feet. “Big Jim,” largest of the
zoo’s alligators, sent Nagel to the
hospital for 105 days when he sought
to halt its escape.
