All rights of republication of ali other matter herein are jo reserved, Abundant Life Only for Those Who Pay The triumphs of the last generation were chiefly concerned | with devising new goods and services to make life easier and safer. This generation’s problem apparently is fo find some way of making these devices available to people who lack the money to buy them. Nowhere has this been emphasized so strongly as in a speech given before the American Public Health association recently by Josephine Roche, assistant secretary of the treasury. Miss Roche revealed that there is a direct and tragic rela- tionship between the death rate and the annual income. Between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 Americans get along on incomes of less than $1,000 a year, said Miss Roche. Their death rate from the 10 major diseases which cause 75 per cent of the deaths in the United States is twice that of the rest of the population. For seven of these 10 diseases, she said, the death rate mounts steadily as the income goes down. The death rate from respiratory tuberculosis, for instance, is seven times as great among unskilled laborers as among pro- fessional people. Pneumonia’s death rate is 314 times as great among unskilled workers as among professionals; the death rates for syphilis and diarrhea are twice as great; cancer kills at a 50 per cent greater rate. Nor does it stop there. Illness that is not fatal but that takes a man away from his job is far more common among the low-income group. One of 20 family heads on relief is un- employed because of physical disability; among the higher in- come groups, the rate is one in 250. The unemployed in general have twice the disabling illness that the employed have. WPA workers have a disabling illness rate 40 per cent above that of other employed persons. All of this throws into clear relief the knottiest problem of the age—how to make available to all the people the discov- eries and inventions which science has turned up for us. Medical science today is better able to keep people sound and well than ever before. It can prevent diseass that formerly were unpreventable, it can cure diseases that formerly were in- curable, it can perform operations previously impossible, it-has a far clearer idea of the relation of diet to good health. Yet all of this does little good to the man who can’t afford to take advantage of this new knowledge. If doctors did not in so many cases give their time and skill without thought of fees, the situation would be far worse than it is; even so, Miss Roche’s figures show unmistakably the tragic connection be- tween poverty and ill health. In this field as in so many others, we are on the threshold of a dazzling new era of human happiness. We are kept out of it, not by lack of knowledge, but simply because we can’t figure out how to make the more abundant life pay its way. The Public Defense The best defense the public has against public enemies still is—the public. John Dillinger was shot down in Chicago because “the ‘woman in red” told police who he was and where to catch him. They had worked hard trying to apprehend the notorious bandit but had lost his trail. A private citizen led them to the des- perado. Al Brady, Dillinger’s successor, who said he would make the former No. 1 public enemy look like a cream puff, came to his unlamented end through a similar agency. Only this time it was a clerk in a store who became sus- picious and notified police. Brady and his gang planned to hold up a bank in Bangor, Me. Its floor plan was found in his pocket after his death. But in oder to do so they wanted a machine gun and tried to buy one through a sporting goods store. z The clerk became suspicious and notified police of the unusual request. They told the G-men—and Brady’s number was up. There was good police work in this case. The job was neatly and effectively handled. But the most important in- gredient to success in the whole venture was the leaven of interest on the part of a private citizen who led peace officers to their quarry. . Kansas City’s Record That the juvenile auto death toll in this country need not remain the insoluble problem it usually seems to be is amply proved by the experience of Kansas City. In the average American city of 400,000 population, a child is killed by auto traffic once in 27 days. In Kansas City, however, an entire year has passed since the last child traffic fatality. Kansas City did it, apparently, simply by deciding to spend the time and the money necessary to keep the youngsters safe. Elaborate safety campaigns were staged in the schools and over the radio. The police furnished traffic patrolmen for every corner where school children had to cross streets. Motor traffic was patrolled constantly. Drivers were compelled to remember that a little heedlessness could cost a child’s life. The result is something for Kansas City to be proud of— and something for her sister cities to copy.

Most tragic and costly was the May 6 explosion of the airship Hindenburg, with the loss of 35 lives, as the huge German aircraft settled over Lake- hurst, N. J., to complete the first 1937 trans-Atlantic voyage. At least 68 persons escaped from the flaming craft. On Dec. 15, 1936, a transport ship with four passengers and three crew members, including Gladys Witt, pe- tite stewardess, crashed in a snow- filled gorge between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. A week after the Utah crash six air- line employes were killed when a plane tumbled to earth during a test flight at Dallas, Texas. Los Angeles transport piled into a mountainside in a fog near Saugus, Calif. Crew and passengers, 12 in all, were killed. Only two weeks later—Jan. 12—an- other transport crashed within a few miles of the site of the Dec. 27 dis- aster. Five persons, including Martin Johnson, explorer, were killed. Eleven persons lost their lives when an airliner plunged into the waters of San Francisco bay Feb. 9. Four persons died in the crash of an Eastern Airlines transport plane at Daytona Beach, Fla., Aug. 10. Thirteen persons were killed March 25, when an airliner, its wings coated iin ice, tried to land near Pittsburgh, a. .

The committee in charge of build- ing sets for the play has been hard at work as have the other committees working on the production. The play is a hilarious English comedy, which ran for four years when first produced in London. Two Oxford students, very much in love, wished to propose to the two young ladies of their choice. Since chap- erones were the order of the day, an aunt of one of the boys who was coming from Spain to visit, was to serve in that capacity. On the fateful day the girls were to arrive the chaperon had not appeared. A boy was pressed into service, dressed in women's clothes and threatened into very proper behavior. Complications, and highly amusing ones, arose when LEAD PRICES CUT New York—Two leading producers, American Smelting & Refining Co., and St. Joseph Lead Co,, reduced the iprice of lead 44 cent a pound Monday, ''The new price is 5.50-55 cents a pound at New York and 5.35 cents a pound at St. Louis.

Remember, it not untit-the time the Pilgrims settled in New England that William M.D, discovered the circulation of the blood—a doctrine he began to known about 1613 but which was rejected as a queer notion by the big In medieva! physiology of hea dryness of hnically we know that the condition of the skin, and hence the ap- pearance of it, the complexion, depends on nutrition and hygiene. But actu- ally millions of credulous folk and their medical advisers still imagine (1) that the skin absorbs medicines, foods, or poisons, (2) that the skin “breathes” through hypothetical “pores,” and (3) that the skin is an important excretory organ “eliminating” or “throwing off” waste matter. No recognized authority on physiology supports these quaint notions, although they enjoy vigorous support from certain subsidized medical propagandists. The real functions of the skin are as follows: (1) It forms a sensory covering for the body, supplied with nerves which convey sensations of pres- sure temperature, pain, irritation and so enable the body to make necessary adjustments to changes in the environment, (2) It serves also as a mechanical and chemical barrier of defense. The horny layer of the cuticle mechanically protects against injuries, and the clean skin has an acid reaction which de- stroys bacteria in a short time, though creams, fats or dirt on the skin may interfere with this self-disinfectant action. (3) The most important function of the skin is the regulation of body temperature, by variafions in the blood supply and by variations in the amount of water excreted, as sweat. (4) When exposed to sunlight or even skyshine the skin generates vitamin D, from the chemical or actinic effect of ultraviolet rays upon ergosterol in the skin, and this vitamin D is carried through the circulation to the places where it is needed for maintaining good calclum-phosphorus metabolism which is essential for perfect health. (5) The formation of pigment, tan, which, apart from the vitamin D effect may be concerned in the natural healing especially the healing of tuberculosis, (6) According to Leonard Hill, fore- most English physiologist, exposure of the naked skin to infra-red rays produces reflex shrinking of nasal mucous membranes—opens the nose— while exposure to ordinary heat tends to make the nose close up.
