Rushin 7 Roulette From time to time newspapers carry accounts of one of the most reckless and inexplicable acts of * civilized, or uncivilized, man — the game of Russian Roulette. Reading such stories, one's reaction tends to be strong. “What a fool,” we think of the victim,” to bet his life on the chance of spinning one of the five empty chambers against one that contains a live cartridge.” The resulting death or injury is so obvious ly avoidable we chalk it up to human folly, and. heaving a superior sigh, we turn the page of our paper to lighter reading. Yet every year Americans by the millions, in a similar, and likewise senseless, game of Rushin’ Roulette on the highway, bet their lives on similar odds in their automobiles. Last year 3,345,000 persons were injured in auto accidents. But most were not necessary. The principal cause of automobile accidents is still the same — the man behind the wheel! Yes, you and L who drive our cars in mechanically perfect condition in good weather on a straight road — too fast! You and L who pass on hills or curves, who occasionally violate the rules of the road and fail to yield the right of way. Yes, when a parent turns over to his teen-aged sons and daughters the control of tons of steel hurtling through space powered by 300 horsepower, he is playing “Rushin’ Roulette.” You and I, when we drive too long without rest, pushing home late at night after a long, fatiguing weekend or meeting, are guilty. Yes, 87% of the accidents causing highway injuries and death last year were the direct result of violations of rules of the road — excessive speed, driving on the wrong side, drunken driving, failure to yield, and reckless driving. Can it be, Mr. Driver, that you will abandon this monstrous game of carelessness and chancetaking in 1963. Or will you, like the idiot vainly spinning the gun chamber, point an automotive butlet at your own head and pull the trigger with your own hands? This is a question for all of us who drive!

S. — Finds New Autos Shrinking Inside By DICK WEST United Pre** bstenuttioMl WASHINGTON (UPD—For 16 years Stephen Spingarn, a former member of the Federal Trade Commission, tooled around in a 1946 sedpn. Life was good then-. But a couple of months ago, disaster struck. His faithful bld conveyance succumbed to fatigue and Spingarn was forced to go out shopping for a new car. “It was then that I discovered,” he said in relating his adventures, “that I had become a Rip Van Winkle among motorists.” His rude awakening came when he tried to get in one of the 1963 models. First he-banged his head .on the roof. he cracked his knee cap on the steering column. “To my amazement, I found that the cars I thought had been getting bigger were only getting bigger on the outside,” he said. “On the inside they had been shrinking. Fine For Reptiles “They are fine for cobras and other reptiles that can crawl in on their bellies, but a man Bas got to creep into his own car like a midnight thief. Then be has got to curl up in the natal poeitian before he can drive it.” Spingarn, who stands just under Meet-2 and weighs 250 pounds, test-entered every make of car that sells tor less than $3,000, picking up new abrasions along the way. “The only way I avoided a concussion was by trainmg myself to stop and say ‘Look out, Spingarn! Don’t bump your head again!’ before I opened the door,” he said. At some point, possibly as a result of too many lumps on the cranium, Spingarn changed freftn a Rip Van Winkle into a sort of latter day Captain Ahab. He lost all interest in mileage and other performance features and became obsessed with the pursuit of an auto whose portals permitted easy ingress and egressThey were even rarer than white whales. Finally, Spingarn found a dealer who promised to remove the front seat track and reinstall it four inches farther to the rear. Being a lawyer, Spingarn made him put it in writing. Then he carried the signed stipulation to another dealer, who agreed to match the terms. But, it turned out that the seat track* on some cars can only be moved back abou two inches. Northing could be done about the roof and this is what has prompted Spingarn to organize the “inner space crusade.” Its aim is to bring pressure on the auto makers to produce in at least a limited edition a model with a high roof and abundant leg roomMany recruits have been rally--ing around the “inner space’’ banner, including Sen. Edwin L. Mechem, R-N.M., who is 6-feet-3 and who offered to make a “bipartasan revolt ” . I personally, however, am not interested in joining such a crusade. I’m holding out for one of tlfose cars shown in the U-Drive-It commercials where the driver floats down from the sky.

Says Nature Unfair To Elderly Women

1 By DELOB SMITH UPI ScleaM Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — H i* the i contention of Dr. Robert A. Wil- , son, a veteran woman’* doctor, : that nature is unfair to elderly ; women but that medical science can do something about it. Nature ’’desexes’’ woman when she aproacbes her SB’s and thereafter she declines rapidly mentally and physically even though she may live to be a hundred, in his .view. Nature does no such ' deteriorating thing to man, aL l though it usually kill* him sooner. “Our streets abound with them, I (elderly women,) walking stiffly • in twos and threes, seeing itttle 1 and observing les*,” he said. “It - is not unusual to see an erect man 1 of 75 vigorously striding along on the golf course, but never a worn- ; an of this age.” ! The young girl is “essentially of neuter gender.” With puberty her body chemistry is flooded with the hormones of femininity and ■ they make her a woman. At the • menopause, the “change of life,” estrogens production is abruptly curtailed She returns to essential ! "neuter gender.” Men Fade Graduaßy “There is variation in degree but not in fact,” continued Wili son. “Men do not live as tong ns the so-called weaker sex. However, they age, if free from serious ( disease, in a proportional manner. The gonads fade gradually, but there is no sudden shutdown.” Because these gonad hormones , are responsible for conspicuous 1 sex characteristics, the layman thinks of them as “sex hormones.” Biochemistry knows, however, that they play important parts in the chemical processes which maintain whole body functional es--1 ficiency. Wilson said that in the “estro-gen-starved" elderly women, mus- , cle cells lose their strength, there is a loss in weight, energy and height, arteries "harden” at a greatly accelerated rate, she is made Susceptible to mounting blood pressure, and her bones become progressively more brittle. Note Mental Effects And there are mental effects. “A large pecentage of women

who escape severe depression acquire a vapid cow-like feeling : called a Negative state/ ” he said. "It i* a strange misery. Such . people react poorly to pleasant ' stimuli, yet do not sink to great : depth* of depression. The world appears as through a gnv veil, i and they live as docile harmless creatures miming most of life’s ■ values.” ‘ Wilson wishes medical science i to apply “replacement therapy’’ . to those elderly women who are markedly declining, that is, give them synthetic estrogens to *e- • place those which their gonad , glands are no longer producing. He is devoting himself to per- ' suading other gynecologists to ac--1 cept this view. At present and generally speaking, synthetic es- , trogens are administered to elder- ; ly women wite caution. Wilson recently rebutted at length in the I journal of the American Medical ' Association a common medical suspicion that they might somehow cause cancer. ! Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Do you think it’s all right for a junior executive to wear slacks and sports jacket in his office, especially when the senior executives do so? A. Usually, in more conservative organizations, the young employee is expected to wear a complete suit. But if the general practice in your office is to dress in the less formal sports attire, then it is all right. Q. My husband has invited one of the men in his office and his wife to our home for dinner. I have met the man, but not his wife. Should I telephone her and confirm the invitation? A. This would be a cordial and courteous thing to do. Q. Are the mate attendants at a wedding supposed to pay for the rental of their own formal attire? A. Yes.
