In. The American Heart Journal St. Louis. is given the life history of 100 patients with high blood pressure followed from the time of onset of their first attack until death. The group included 38 men and Q women. Twenty-six had a family history of high blood pres- sure (hypertensive vascular dis- ease). The average age of onset of high blood pressure was 33 -Mid the average age of death was 51. By- pertensive vascular disease usualiv begins in early adult life and has an average duration of about 20 years.

The primary or original cause of death was not known in 41 of the patients. Congestive heart failure was the cause of death in 19 pct- ients. accidents to the blood vessesl of the brain in 17. failure of the heart muscle in 17, urine in the

Although the heart is a very lsimlple organ, many complicationsl !may be present, and the time of onset and the intensity of any, given complications vary enor-. mously. Nevertheless. measured in terms of single complications. the average survival nf patients after the discovery of high blood pres- sure with complications, was nve of more years.

The rules for safety in high blood pressure are an hour's rest during the day and an extra hour at night. light meals with nourish- ing food. and light daily exercise such as walking. Sometimes the physician prescribes quieting drugs. not to lower the blood pres- sure but to prevent its getting higher due to fear and anxiety.

A. The occupant of the lower berth. while the occupant. of the upper berth rides bacioward. it would be an act of courtesy for the person who has the right to the seat facing forward to ask his companion whether he minds rid- ing backward-wand if he does. to make a. place at his-side. ”

Q. is it proper for a close friend to rush in to kiss the bride at the conclusion of the ceremony. be- fore her parents have done so?

Women Reoenfo Com erioons With Mefe's First We

DEAR Miss DIX: My marriage of eight months is I very happy one, with one exception. My husband had been married before: he was a widower for fourteen years when we married. He in wonder- ful to me and I couldn't ask for a better hulbsnd. but his people are always bringing up the subject of his former wife. with. naturally. comparisons detrimental to me. I don't expect them to forget the dead but I don't see how 1 can make a success of my marriage if I am con- stantly reminded what a wonderful. sweet girl the was. They seem to be trying to impress me with the fact that I do not qualify as an in-law.

WXNIFRED F-

ANSWER: Fourteen years is a long time to remember someon , "liy an in-law-with such minuteness that she is constantly used as a basis of comparison. I'll wager that when she was alive her sweetness and charm were not so freely dis- cussed by the ln-laws. Your husbandls family strike me as being a spiteful. malicious lot. intent on making trouble wherever it can be made. They probably resent you for taking their son and brother (and also, un- doubtedly. his cash assets) away from the rest of the family. After keeping him a widower for fourteen years they figured they had ex-

fllusive rights to his time. money and attention for the rest of his fe.

HUSBAND SHOULD ACT

Your husband should have sense enough to see that these com- parisons are unpleasant for you, and ask his relatives to soft-pedal them. It may take a word from you to make him see what should be an obvious fact, but men can be very dense at times.

If your husband won't take steps to stop the annoyance, there are several ways you can handle the problem. depending upon the type of people your in-laws are. When the subject of your predeces- sor comes up, (1) let them talk on and on. listen pleasantly with M1 occasional noncommilal aye or nay; (2) change the subject as casual- ly as possible: (3) state definitely that you prefer to discuss some- thing else or (4) observe clemurely that you are indeed trying to live up to the high standards set by wife number one.

You may be sure that no matter how perfect you are, or become. approval will never be forthcoming from these relatives. Their pleasure is in criticizing and belittling; approval is not in them. Try to arrange your life. and that of your husband, to leave a minimum of time for fn-law visits. Don't be resentful of their actions; just realize their attitude for what it is-a small conception of life that shuts out all the beauty of pleasant human relationships.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 20 years old and fairly attractive. Peo- ple seem to like me but I seldom have n time. I'm settled for my age and would like to get married but I don't think any of the boys I know are interested in marrying me. Do you think there is still something lacking in me or do you think eventually I will find a mate?

JANIE L. D. ANSWER: You are still so young, Janie. that there's no cause for panic over your seeming lack of matrimonial prospects. The boys you know are probably very young, too, and are as yet in no position to marry. Just continue to be your own sweet self. don't act over- anxious and you'll henr wedding bells yet. If you don't know many boys. why not take on some activities where you may meet them? Bowling. skating and tennis are all good sports conducive to forming

, boy-girl friendships.

DEAR MISS DIX: For three years I have gone with a girl nnd was sure I loved her. I know she loves me. Recently I was more or less forced into a blind date with another girl. She swept me off my feet. and though I know the first girl would be a better wife, I can't forget the second one. What can I do?

THOMAS

ANSWER: The second girl has brought on A heavy case of in- fntuatlon with you. and your best course is to forget her. How you can accomplish this is up to you. but your future happiness lies. be- yond doubt, with the first girl. whom you still love and who is the finer person. Don't settle for second best when you have the genuine article within reach.

By A bright window in the snug kitchen-done in buff and green-she dipped the hook nnd drew her loops neatly and under her hand the design which. ac- cording to one's discernment was of squares or diamonds, grew prettily. it is a pastime which- uses odds and ends of materirili that might otherwise be discard- ed as useless, to make an item in brighten the home. an object of pride to the maker.

Oil supplied the heat-in the modern kitchen range; light wns to be had at the turn of a switch; water was on tap.
