The diagnosis can usually be made by studying a speci men of skin taken from the fingers or from the back of the chest. These bits of skin will show chronic inflamma tory changes that are char acteristic of the disease. Unfortunately, there are dozens of strange diseases like those, most of which are hereditary in nature, and produce such marked abnor malities that no physician can hope to make the child over qoKing face; he may be deaf; ! into a normal youngster.

But Teit of a Heart 1 recently received a letter from a woman who says that the other day her doctor made an electrocardiogram and was horrified over the changes he found in it. He was so dis turbed that he wanted her to go right to bed and slay there for weeks. But. as she says very wisely, she doubts the need for this because she is still playing a good game of tennis. 1 greatly respect her wisdom. If today I could still play a fast game of tennis. I wouldn't care what my elec trocardiogram looked like, and nobody could scare me about it. Often I have been amazed at the way in which a col league got frightened when he found a child with a heart murmur. 1 can remember, some 45 years ago, seeing a boy w ith a loud heart mur mur. It was so loud that one of the best children's special ists in the city wanted to keep the child in bed for a year. He did keep him in bed for months until I insisted that the boy was not ill. He was never listless or short of breath, and many a time when I came into his room I found him bouncing tip and down on his bed, or wres- i tling with his brother. And so I said, "Lets forget me murmur." That was 45 years ago, and today that boy has grown into a big powerful athletic man of 50 who, in his college days, was a crack athlete. I ima gine he still has his murmur. 1 suppose that a thousand limes during my medical life time, 1 have mused over the fact that a little common sense is worth a hundred elec trocardiograms or laboratory tests. I can still remember the man of 75 whom I saw years ago in San Francisco; he came to consult me about a little arthritis in his hand. On checking him over and listen ing to his chest, I heard a very loud murmur, due appar ently to some congenital pe- j culiarity in his heart. When 1 asked him about it, he said, "Oh yes, that was discovered when 1 was 20 and three or four consultants assured my father I would be dead with ing six months. I said then, 'If I have only six months to live, I want to live richly and with excitement,' and so I went to Paris and had a fling. But after some two months I got fed up with idleness and so I went back to work. That was 55 years ago, and never have 1 been seriously ill." $543,000 Grant for Astoria Approved Washington - H'Pli - The Coin-! works program to provide munily Facilities Admini.stra-j one-half the cost of construc tion has approved a granl of j lion of water facilities, the of. $54.'l,0t)0 to Astoria, Ore., fices of Sens.
