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-

should refuse to give you such a

For Milwaukee Man

picked up his shattered glasses,
shrugged and said, "Accidents
will happen."

tired to an ice rink at the end of
the meeting for a fast game of
tag. When he dodged to escape
being "it", his skates went out
from under and he landed on his
chin.

slashed to the bone, a few teeth
were loosened and a wrist was
sprained.
