u Divorce Rales for Childless Couples Higher Than for Parents of Children New York. N. Y., Apr. 1 About 1.200,000 persons were in volved in divorces granted in the United States in 1948. The total includes 313,000 children of broken marriages who were un der 21 yearso age when their parents were divorced. This information is derived from a report on divorces and annulments by Metropolitan Life Insurance company statisticians. "Divorce in families where there are children is more com mon than is generally realized," observe the statisticians. "Of the . 421,000 absolute decraes grant ed, 42 percent were to couples i with children." The more children there are ' in a family, the less likelihood there is of divorce, the study thows. . Frequency Raits In homes where there were no children under age 18, the ' divorce rate for the United States in 1948 was 15.3 per 1,000 married couples. In homes with one child, the rate was 11.6; with . two children, 7.6; with three ! children, 6.5; and with four or I more children 4.6 per 1,000 ; less than one third of the rate in the homes where there were no children.. Altogether, the relative fie- quency of divorce for couples with children was shown to be . only about one half of that for couples without dependent chil dren at the time of divorce. i The difference in divorce fre M quency between couples with and without children is great est during the early years, and diminishes as the length of mar ried life increases. Even after the 20th year of marriage, how ever, the ratio li twice as high for couples without children. After the 30th year the rates for the two groups are practically identical. "While some unsuccessful marriages may not be broken until the children nave grown up, their number is less than is popularly believed," observe the statisticians. "This la borne out by the small difference in the rate between the two groups at the later years of marriage. Undecided Whether Horse Needs Tail Light Odessa, Tex. U.R) Tex Van dervalk's efforts to "modern' ize" his night watchman'i Job ma hit a legal snag. Vandervalk, who makes his niehtlv rounds on a rubber-ihod horse, applied to the sheriff's oltice for permission to insiaa a tail light on his steed. The tail light, he explained, would keep cars from hitting him as he toured his beat. Sheriff Ernest Broughton turned the matter over to the county attorney for final deci sion. "It's the first time a case of this kind has come before me and Im not sure whether it would be within the law," the sheriff said.

OXYGEN WANT IN THE HEART MUSCLE Ul. Brady The heart is practically all muscle a hollow muscle, an in voluntary muscle that docs a lot of work and does it well without any "regulation" or interference on your part does its worK as well as that other hollow i n v o 1 u ntary muscle which chiefly com poses the stom ach and intes tine docs if you have enough sense to avoid interfering with it using laxa tives, enemas, etc., to '"regulate" it. In medical language the heart muscle is a myocardium. In medical language oxygen want is anoxia, deficient supply of oxygen to the tissues. Every functioning cell, in the tissues, organs or glands must receive its quota of oxygen, a constant supply of oxygen delivered in or by the blood, every second. If the oxygen supply is much re stricted or cut off for a few sec onds the cells degenerate or die, and then everything depends on whether the cells can be revived by restoration of the oxygen supply. Perhaps most widely accepted in the medical profession today is the theory nobody know I positively about it that the at tack or paroxysms of heart-pang or breast-pang (angina pectoris) is a temporary anoxia of a por tion of the myocardium, defic ient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle. We can only con jecture that this temporary oxygen want in the heart muscle is due to constriction or say spasmodic contraction of branch es of the arteries that supply blood to the heart itself. These arteries distributing blood from the aorta or great artery just be yond the heart to the tissues of the heart itscit, in appearance re semble a crown, and so they were named the right and left crown or coronary arteries. . The constriction or spasmodic contraction of the coronary ar teries or branches may occur from undue exertion or sudden effort, but emotional excitement of one kind or another is more likely to bring on the attack. The great Dr. John Hunter, subject to angina, said: "My life is in the hands of any rascal who chooses to annoy or tease me," and Hunter actually did turn up his toes in a fit of anger. It was a little before my time, but it does seem to jne that Dr. Hunter, like a lot of oh, well, I don't want to annoy them say a lot of people today who are subject to or in training lor an. gina pectoris, was altogether too self-centered. A tendency to ward angina doesn't warrant a demand that everybody give way and let Ihe poor fellow annoy and tease them as much as he likes. Rather it imposes up on the affected individual such reform of habits and way of liv ing as may be necessary to pro tect against such emotional excitement. By way of prevention of an gina, aside trom tne aaopuon 01 the simple life, I'll quote a state ment made by a distinguished cardiologist (heart disease spec ialist) in an address before a medical society, on Optimism in Medicine "It is my belief that patients with coronary insufficiency can carry on practically nor mal lives for many years with the assistance of glyceryl trinitrate" (otherwise known as nitroglycerin) "used not during the attacks , . . but phophylactically." In the C-V-D booklet (for copy send twenty-five cents and stamped scll-addressea e n v e i nnn ii'hixH Hnnle with heart and artery diseases, I say that every sufferer from angina ipuciuru dolor) should always carry a few tablets of nitroglycerin, and tell how to use them but don't com- if vnnr ririicfnst re fuses to sell nitroglycerin tablets without your .pnysician v"- rrha rlrnuitiut hflfl the all law behind him. I can see no good reason why your pnys.ciau or anv physician who knows you should refuse to give you such a prescription, that is, if you are not actually a moron.

Lcmkuhl was hit on the head bv a mis-directed basketball when he accompanied his 11 year-old son to a scout meeting in a school gymnasium. "But that was all right.
