Indian National Conrrea* (Written for the United Pressl WASHINGTON. March 14—A wisp of a man. who tips the scales at 96 pounds, today is the outstanding, dramatic figure of a revolutionary movement, seeking independence for the 320 000.00 people of India. The man is Mahatma M. K. C.andhi, poet, philosopher and sage. He is one of the world's most famous literateurs, crusader and propagandist, yet he is*the most distinguished pacifist that the present era has known. Gandhi was bom at Prabandar, a pastoral community 100 miles northeast of Bombay, sixty-one years ago. He was born to luxury and ease. His father was the prime minister of a native Indian state, receiving the lavish emoluments for which India is famous. Married at Age of 13 When he departed the family home, however, to complete his education at Trinity Inn in London, he dedicated himself to work, graduated with honors and was admitted to the bar. Gandhi and his wife were each 13 years old when they married. Since their adult life they have been constantly at each others side. They have four children. Gandhi's mother was an orthodox Hindu and confirmed pacifist. It was from her counsel that he drew the principles of which he has become a great exponent. He is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs iuncty-.six pounds, has a large head, flaring ears and relatively small face. He has a strong aquiline nose and wide-set dreamy eyes. Rules Huge Audiences He has a small, thin voice that can not penetrate the size of a large auditorium, yet he commands tremendous audiences and is a master showman. He invariably has his speeches printed and distributed to his audience as he begins to speak. He arises at 4 every morning, and meditates until sunrise. Milk, boiled vegetables, nuts and bread are bis entire diet. His sole attire is a loin cloth of hand-woven cotton. solemn conclaves or at vast gathem s he operates his hand loom amid the turbulence and ex-

garded as a reliable cross-section of the two countries. With this advance, it is stated, has come a marked advance in all diseases of the circulatory system including, diseases of the arteries and of the kidneys. During 1929, this group represented 31 per cent of the total mortality and ranked first as a cause of death among policyholders. “The circulatory diseases,” explains Dr. Angler B. Hobbs, Medical director, “are among the most important, if they are not the most important, ills to which man is subjected today. It is in this group that the degenerative changes which man is subjected today. It is in this group that the degenerative changes which lead to old age are first manifested. Great progress has been made in reducing mortality in the earlier ages, in caring for infants, in treating infectious and contagious disease, and in controlling epidemics, but on the other hand less progress has been made at the older ages. An important contributing reason for this

| is the stress of modem life; a great | many men of middle age work too hard, worry too much, sleep too little and overindulge in eating and drinking. i “Overeating frequently results in an accumulation of body poisons which infect the delicate walls of the heart and blood vessels. Worry ’ and excitement increase the blood pressure and put a strain upon the heart. Old people have a higher blood pressure than others because j neither their heart muscles nor the walls of the blood vessels are as elastic r- they used to be. But the I cause of this probably is due as much to overstrain and infection I as simply to old age.” A summary of causes of death ! among policyholders in 1929 shows: Heart disease 17 per cent, influenza : and pneumonia 11. cancer and tumors 11. accidents 9, apoplexy 6, tuberculosis 6, Bright's disease 5. diseases of the arteries 3, liver disease 2, appendicitis 2, diseases of the digestive organs 2, diabetes 1.

In addition to an increase of percentage in diseases of the circulatory system in 1929 there also were increases in the percentage of deaths from cancer and from accidents.
