Young men are much more frequent victims than young women in the ratio of 24 to 1. Hoping to learn why so many young men are falling victims to what has generally been considered a disease of old age, the Boston physicians investigated the inheritance and living habits of a group of 100 young heart patients and compared these with similar information obtained from men and women of eighty, ninety and years of age. Jews More Susceptible. Relatively far more of the older people were of British race stock, although the method of selection of this group for study and the time of immigration may have influenced this factor. Jewish people are more susceptible to heart and blood vessel disease, the study showed. The old men and women had longer-live- d ancestors than the young heart disease patients. These factors are beyond the control of the individual, but living conditions and habits which he can control evidently also play an Important part in causing development of heart diseases. Country life, for instance, is not as hard on the heart as the stresses s of of city life. Nearly the men and women past eighty years old lived in the country or s small towns, while nearly of the young heart patients lived in large cities. The older persons all claimed to have been moderate eaters and while, as the doctors pointed out they may have forgotten the hearty appetites of their youth their body build was generally lean as compared to the heavy build of the young heart patients. Smoking Plays Big Part. s of the older peoOver ple exercised considerably till well past middle age. The young heart patients had many of them been strenuously athletic in their youth but only few continued to exercise regularly. A striking difference between the two groups was found in their use of tobacco, and this together with other evidence of the effect of tobacco, the Boston physicians believe, suggests that smoking plays an Important part A little over half the old group were smokers but only a few were heavy smokers. Over s of the young group were smokers, more than half of them heavy smokers. The two groups were more alike in their use of alcohol. A surprising finding was that severe infectious disease, generally supposed to Impose considerable strain on the heart, had occurred, with the exception of diphtheria and pneumonia, more frequently in the older group than the young group. Even rheumatic fever and tonsilitis occurred less frequently in the younger group. The younger group, however, had more surgical operations than the older. Irregular and few hours of sleep and nervous sensitiveness and nervous strain were other conditions found much more frequently In the young group which may have contributed to the early appearance of serious heart disease.

J. of inflammation of Cases the lips due to hypersensitivity to certain dyes in lipsticks were reported by Drs. Joseph Goodman and Marion B. Sulzberger of New York at the meeting here of the Association for the Study of Allergy. By making tests of the various Ingredients of the lipsticks, It was possible to discover which dye was the offender In a particular case, and to prescribe for the patient a lipstick she could use safely. Other cosmetics, notably powders and nail polishes, have also caused inflammation and skin Irritation, the New York doctors found. Dyes in wearing apparel, ranging from dresses to shoes and socks, frequently cause Irritation in sensitive persons. This sensitivity Is an individual matter, it appears from the cases reported.

Only recently I went to the railroad station to watch one trainload of these recruits come in. These unequipped bleus were of every race under the sun: Poles, Turks, Negroes, Spaniards, Italians, Russians, Rumanians, Belgians, and above all, Germans. Derelicts Born Again. Yet however much their languages differed, they all looked alike. They had been traveling a week In their civilian clothes, and were now a grimy army of tatterdemalions, unwashed, unshaved, ragged, and exhausted. As this hopeless and disreputable column slouched down the road leading to the barracks, I joined them. Was this the famous Legion la brave Legion that had conquered Africa for France, that had brought glory upon glory to their flag, that could outmarch and outfight any army in the world? Yes, the very same. This grime will be washed off. These rags will be burned and a smart new uniform issued to replace them. These miserable bodies will be straightened by exercise, these unhealthy faces In six tanned and toughened. months this pack of starving vagabonds will go marching back up the boulevard behind the stirring trumpets, clean, erect, shining, dangerous. More than' 70 per cent of the recruits are German usually peasant boys who have run away from home or because they were hungry. One also finds many Gerout of jobs. A good man 10 per cent will always be French who get In by saying they are Belgian or Swiss. The remaining 20 per cent are truly international But whether German or they usually come from the lower orders. Exceptions however meet one at every s turn. In (as the Legion calls its home) there is a military band of 150 pieces. Every member of that band is a good musician. And every member is a Legionnaire. At the other extreme one finds the Infamous Compagnie de Discipline, the penal prison for the Legion, where 300 murderers, bandits, criminals incorrigible, have been collected. They too are Legionnaires. But the average Legionnaire is neither musician nor murderer-j- ust an unhappy and unfortunate outcast, a pauvre maiheuroux, seeking forgetfulness from the past and shelter for the present. He loses his name when he joins up and finds a new one. He domes and dismisses all he Has. lie is born gain of a mother nho understands non-Germ- "V 1 f f 1 1 c f what, next to loyalty, is the most important thing in the life of a Legionnaire liquor! Their favorite drink (because it is cheap) is a raw, red, Algerian wine called Pinard. Pinard is the raison detre for the average Legionnaire. Pinard has always been his god. It is now. It will be till the Legion perishes. Pinard has welded the Legion together, preserved its morale, won battles, conquered Africa. Bottle brothers Legionnaires. On the first Legion pay-daI was in town, I wandered into the barracks canteen, the Legions high altar to this great god booze. The place was an inferno, with scores of soldiers brawling, laughing, singing and shouting in ten languages. Tobacco smoke thickened the air, oaths turned it blue. Bottles and d bodies were strewn across tables, or under them. Benches were overturned. Drink, drink, drink a madness, a frenzy, a demoniac worship of the idol alcohol. As the night advanced, those who were too paralyzed to lift another glass were stacked in corners while stouter drinkers held on and poured it down till dawn. One for All All for One. Next day found a good percentage of the most savage drunks in prison, and scarcely anyone in the whole barracks really sober. As a rule, however, the officers are wonderfully patient, and overlook most of these little binges. I saw one Legionnaire who lay prostrate In the gutter rise totteringiy to his feet at the approach of an officer, draw h.'mself to rigid attention, salute with a smartness that was inspired, and then plop! back into the gutter he collapsed. The officer just laughed and passed on. But drink is by no means the Legions only diversion. In (as in most of the smaller towns where Legionnaires are quartered) there is the Village Negre too the Street of the Women. On a holiday the women put on their most bizarre gowns and heaviest jewelry. Gross negresses will Painted cry shrilly at passers-by- . white women reach out to seize one from the crowd. Arab girls with raucous voices shriek insults at each other across the alley. A few French fllles, too old for Paris, compete savagely with their native sisters, striving in this last outpost of degradation to postpone the end another year, another month. With so many desperately gay soldiers wandering about the streets at night, fights are frequent. At this the Legian excels, and woe to their opponents, for every Legionnaire in sight will come to the aid of a fellow Legionnaire, and, regardless of nhcre justice lies, fight like a demon for the uniform. y wine-splashe- V, 1 ?

LFI i, Embroidery Adds That Smart Touch -- 1 : 1 Id not walked that many miles in a month. I soon began to regret it. The moment the pas de route and order was given, the Legionnaires broke step, took a reef in their ceintures and moved. My God, how they could march! The kilometers rolled behind like knots behind a battleship, smoothly, steadily, mercilessly. The pace was never less than four miles an hour. As soon as the sun rose the heat began to torment me, for I was wearing a light sweater. But what of the Legionnaires, in overcoats? They dripped far worse than I did, but while I struggled to keep up, they sang lusty German marching songs, always, always, German. Next day we had to cross 30 miles of sand without a tree or a stream, The officers drove their men more and more ruthlessly. They must march march ou creve, march or die. But some absolutely, physically could not keep up. They preferred to creve and so did I. Falling back in ignoble defeat I perdriver to suaded a kitchen-wagolet me board his steaming stove. He had been ordered to follow the column to pick up stragglers, so our strange ambulance was soon loaded to capacity, but still the limping stragglers multiplied. As a last resort, ropes from the wagon were tied to the exhausted soldiers belts not so much to compel them as to assist them, but it worked both ways. Before we reached the end of our desert march I heard enough Legion stories from my comrades both riding and walking to fill a book. One stands out vividly in my memory: Some time before, considerable excitement had developed in Bechar, one of the desert outposts, over the remarkable case of a certain Austrian whose name, shall we say, was Schantz. Young Schantz had fallen heir to a huge fortune In Vienna left him by his father's will, and the executors were trying to find the beneficiary, whom they knew to be for some unknown reason hiding in the Le gion. They had succeeded in tracing down his regiment, even his company. His assumed name, however, baffled any further identifica- Congressional Boldness.
