Heredity A Factor in Long Life

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, ».D. BUSY with the weightier mat-: ters of the world, such as the latest popular song or the precarious state of international affairs, youth is not too often concerned about death. NTeither does it display the worry that the middleaged and elderly do about living a long life. It is, however, an almost general desire of the human race to extend its life span on earth. Witness the scientific, philosophical and electronic efforts to .this end. \ i \ *1 An analysis was made from government and insurance records of the aged to determine ti»e factors connected with length oC life. It was found that the higher Income brackets lived longer than those of much less fortunate circumstances. Unskilled laborers had the shortest span of life. However, In recent years, this Sap between the economic classes as been gradually closing. Those living in certain rural areas, as A rule, live longer than those in many other regions. People in the mountain and southern states have a shorter life expectancy. Persons ilving on farms live longer than those who work in factories. Married people live longer than single people. Why marriage confers this increased time is not known. Maybe that is the way nature intended it. , ' ■ ' i ' ■ I

each side of the road should improve Its utility ahd eliminate some of the dangers in passing cars along the route. These temporary improvements are being made until final determination is made on the importance of the highway, a decision which may hold up the building tit a fourlane route for several years. 0 0 The Michigan City News-Dis-patch was awarded the University of Missouri School of Journalism award fdr community service and the Austin, Minnesota, DailyHerald won the Minnesota award for distinguish service in journalism at the Indland Dally Pres® conference in The Indiana paper has made great strides in recent years and is recognized as one of the best home-town dailies 'in Hoosierdom. The Minnesota newspaper is the reflection : of a very successful newspaper enterprise owned and managed by husband and wife, Harry E. and Geraldine Rasmussen. Both publications deserve the recognition bestowed by the Fourth Estate. fl.fl May Get Black Eye:— In many parts of the world the United States finds itself in the position .of the man who steps between two other men who are fighting and has bis eye blackened in the confusion. One instance of this is in the current controversy over Trieste between Italy and Yugoslavia. Italy claims Trieste because of the fact that it is largely inhabited by Italians. Yugoslavia bases Its claim on its need for the city as a port and on the fact that many of the Yugoslavs who once lived there were forced to move by Mussolini when he was dictator of Italy. There is some truth and justice on both sides. The United States and Britain have proposed a plan which would place both Italy and Yugoslavia on an equal footing in Trieste. It is hard to see how the suggestion can be received favorably by either country in the light of their past avowed positions. The United States wants to see a peaceful solution reached.* We want to keep both Italy ahd Yugoslavia in our camp against the Russians. In our effort to mediate the problem, however, our prestige in either or, both the countries can be severely damaged, and we may come up w'ith a black eye.

An Important point, In selecting a place to live, is the public health facilities provided by the community for protection against diseases which are Contagious and degenerative. A person Wishing to live a longer life should seek early treatment of any and all diseases or conditions that tend to alter his health. He should confer with his physician about any symptomatology which may occur that is out of the ordinary. Os course, the importance of care and avoidance of accidents cannot be overemphasized. Buns la Families It has been often said that probably the most important advantage in living a long life would be the ability to select one’s own ancestors. If one descends from a healthy stock of long-lived people, his chances of longevity are v Increased tremendously. But, let us not forget that an Annual health audit can contribute much to long life. , QUESTION AND ANSWER P. T.. Is it true that many diseases ca.u be partially caused by emotional and mental disturbances in the patient? Answer: Wet, mental conflicts and disturbances are very often responsible for symptoms. It is bitlleved that certain severe disorders are caused in this way.

SYNOPSIS Phil Stanley, popular young socialite bachelor, had fallen in love with Nancy Kelly, his attorney's keen-witted, redhaired secretary. He'd taken her about, introduced her to his friends, including Linda Van Vllet. a brunette beauty whd'd long ago set her cap for Phil. At home tonight, we find Nancy busily typing extra copies of an important, confidential document which wifi figure in a law suit pending against the Stanley Construction Company, owned by Phil Stanley's high and mighty kin. CHAPTER EIGHT THE next morning, on the streetcar, Nancy looked over her work of the night before. She wanted to make sure she hadn’t forgotten any of the precious papers. There were four carbon copies. She decided she had been too tired and excited to know how many copieh she really had made. When she arrived at the office Nancy didn’t I even take time to give more than a glance at the mirror. She flung her hat in the general direction of the shelf above the washstand and went straight to her typewriter. Luckily she was early. Humphrey Charles, late the afternoon before, had asked her to make five copies of the confidential document wanted by attorneys who were helping him ifight the law suit against the Stanley Construction company. Had he known she had taken the papers from the office, her Job might be in jeopardy. Npw she regretted that she hadn’t stayed later at the office the night before rather than have taken the papers home for copying. In her fatigue and the excitement of finding Moira and Sam Sykes, as well as Dave Armstrong at home, she had rattled off four copies instead of five. She chided herself for her care* lessncss in the face of the fact that she was the only one in the family with a job at the time. Thank heaven she was a speedy typist. She had Just finished the \fifth copy and slipped it into the file with the other four when Humphrey Charles arrived. He asked for the papers immediately. He glanced , through them, found the work to his satisfaction, and again impressed upon Nancy the fact of their confidential nature. He spoke of his faith in her integrity as an employe. "Os course anything that concerns your Work or this office must not be discussed outside. For that matter it must not be discussed between you and the other employes. ” 1 t, I ! "No, sir—most certainly not." She would have liked to have added that Humphrey Charles needn’t worry, that a girl could type pages of any material, confidential or otherwise, and hardly be conscious of the words she was writing. Her fingers rattled so fast

1 Modern Etiquette .| I BY ROBERTA LEE I ] 0 ' Mi Q. Isn’t it all right to supply a word which seems to be eluding another person who is speaking with you? A, This may be a friendly and appreciated service, If the speaker is a foreigner — but it should never be done with a countryman. Q. What is considered the standardized fee for the bridegroom to give to the minister who performs the wedding ceremony? A. There is no standardized fee. The bridegroom should give according to his means. Q. Is a fruit centerpiece appropriate for a dinner A. -Yes; it is very effective to have a centerpiece composed of a silver plate heaped with oranges, appls. bananas, peaches, plums, or grapes. Be sure, however, that the fruit is fresh-looking. ' About 94 per cent o. the Niagar ■River's flow passes over the Canadian falls.

over the keys that the very mechanics and speed of operating a typewriter precluded much comprehension of the text Especially when the material copied was filled with dry terms and the complicated forms of legal phraseology that only a lawyer could make anything out of. Humphrey Charles was so serious, he had looked at Nancy so piercingly when he' said, "Os course anything that concerns this office must not be spoken of outside,” that now, back at her desk in the ante-room, her foolhardiness in taking the papers home made her feel dizzy. Lucy Wardle, another girl in the office, stopped at Nancy's desk and asked if something was troubling her. Lucy was always frightened. She was timfd and nondescript. She did good work but was personality minus. Her mousey hair and pale eyes, enlarged through the thick lenses of glasses, always had made her ah Annoyance to Nancy, though Lucy adored Nancy. Now Lucy’s question made Nancy want to scream. "Did \I look troubled?” Nancy -uniled and tried to hide her feelings. She WAS worried. The more she thought about those wretched documents and.all their precious confidential contents, the more worried she became. It was while looking into Gimbel’s window white on an errand outside the office that Nancy found herself thinking of Moira and Sam. They just popped into her mind. Perhaps it was an association of ideas, the gowns In the window were’ the kind that Moira would love. Impulsive, irresponsible, embarrassing Moira. Whatever would be her fate, now that she was married to Sam Sykes. One thought led to another, to Dave’s expression aS she had confessed having gone out with Phi! Stanley, to Sam Sykes. Sam Sykes! How silent he had been amidst the chattering last night. Nancy remembered that he had said little more than to express Interest in the work she had brought home. He had hovered around, had wandered back and forth from the living room to the dining room where her papers had been spread on the table. A flash of fear ran up and down Nancy’s spine. She recalled that white she hud been so excitedly trying to justify herself before Davp and the others for having gone out with Phil Stanley, Sam had sat down at her typewriter. Sam had such long fingered, quick moving hands.

Nancy stifled her fear. She told herself that her imagination, like herself, had been working overtime. The remainder of 'the week was so busy that Nancy did little more than work and sleep. Work in the office had never been so heavy. On Saturday morning she woke up glad for the half holiday the day would bring. She' found herself longing to get out of the city, to escape, if only for a few hours, the slush and smoke of town, the same old walk home, the same streets . . . her father’s stocking feet . . . the squeak-squeak of her mother’s rocker. She wondered how one Could love her parents so and still sometimes want to scream at some of their little habits. Her thougnt was followed by one of remorse. Mother Kelly needed a new coat. Dad ought to have some new clothes too. If only he’d get another job. Tom . . . more and more, Tom was staying out late at night Nancy felt that if there were boiled potatoes and Codfish tor supper tonight she would run from the house. Would she? She khew she wouldn’t, but it was a relief to her nerves to picture herself doing it. She wouldn't because she couldn’t. It was up to her to hang on to herself and her nerves. Even if she was young and had a right to a good time, even thobgh She did love to dance, she must hang on to herself. She was disciplining herself this way when she looked up from her work to see Phil Stanley coming info the office. He was dressed in a short, fleece lined coat, a round knitted cap with tassel on top, corduroy trousers tucked into high laced boots. It Nancy's puzzled expression made him laugh even before he spoke, and, aS be did so she thought what an Casy, carefree, charming laugh it Was. She saw a flash of even\ teeth. She saw that his mouth was weU formed. Perhaps, she thought, it to a sensuous mouth. The lips wefe so curved and so red. 'Acre she was again— Always looking beyond the surface of things, analysing wondering, anticipating a situation before it occured. Caution whispering to her in one ear; Adventure in the other. Phil had said he had some business to talk over with Humphrey Charles but that he wanted to talk to Nancy too. He made her promise that she would hot leave the office until he was through with his conference. Caution told Nancy to ten turn that it was near noon and that she had anticipated getting away early this Saturday. Adventure told her to wait. Adventure won. (To Be Continued J

Second Anniversary 1 Os Child Kidnaping No Trace Is Found Os Indiaha Infant MICHIGAN CITY. Ind. UP — Today is the second anniversary of one of the most baffling child kidnapirigs known to police. On Oct. 13, 1951, Lawrence James Lyons, four days old. was' stolen from his crib in St. An- 1 thony’s hospital here. In the weeks and months that follow'ed the search spread over the entire middle west with reports — all proved false —of .the child appearing from many states. No trace of the baby has been found. Police believe it is possible that a mysterious “woman in white” seen with a blue bundle nestled tn her arms as she entered a hospital elevator, was the person who took him. ‘ The baby’s mother. Mrs. Frances Lyons, 38. still lives here with a little daughter, Francine Ann,, born to her Sept. 18, 1952. She is a widow. Her husband. James, 42. died of a heart attack the day after his daughter was born. \ , Mrs. Lyons never has given jip hope that she will again see her son. “Whoever has my boy must feel awfully ccnscience-fttricken,” she said.
