The cuise and it has been put in especially slv-u-p iliis by the fact that the President of the United Slates ha.s suffered a lieart attack.

In truth it should no? take dram.itic a reminder to stir our interest in combating this great Idlier. TJu-ee Quarters of a million people die each year from and circulatory diseases, more than arc killed the next five Icadin? causes of death. It is estimated that 1.25 iMllion man-hours of work are lost to the nation every year as result of heart ailments. R. EISENHOWER'S ILLNESS has shown us vividly what this loss can mean wiion it comes to people at the summit of our national life.

But the damage is as real, and cumulatively much greater, when measured at more ordinary levels. One finds it hard to realize that about 10 million people, or one out of 16 Americans, now suffer from some form of heart or circulatory disease. astonishing is that 500,000 children are affected. Ninety per cent of the damage is done by three principal of the arteries, which sets the stage for what we call heart attacks; high blood pressure, and rheumatic fever. SPITE OF THE HUGE TOLL, heart authorities are able to report that progress has been and still is being made.

There is for everyone, too, in prompt diagnosis and careful treatment. Restoration to useful lives is possible for most heart attack victims and other sufferers. But much more work needs to be done. Money is the great weapon. Hence the Heart Fund, which supixirts research, education, and community heart programs.

Most of the money it collects goes to the support of and local heart associaticns. That which is held out from them goes to advance vital research and other efforts of the American Heart Association. The demands upon our charity dollars are of course constant a.nd heavy. But the Heart Fund is one of the rock-bottom enterprises we cannot neglect. A healthier nation is the prize are bidding for when we answer this call.

What Are They Studying? HAT WITH ALL the to produce enough scientists and engineers, one might fairly assume that American college youth is directing its studious attention to such matters as English, the story of government and politics, the nation's history, and economics. Not according to the dean of the Columbia University School, William C. Warren. He says with even the most careful selective process his school is unable to find more than a few law students who can read quickly, understandingly and retentively; write and speak grammatically and precisely; use a dictionary properly; exhibit even a fair knowledge of history, politics and economics. Survey of a recent entering class showed less than half had taken history courses above the college freshman level, that only a fifth had studied any government or economics at all.

If these findings should prove to be general for the country, then the time will have arrived to ask in all gravity: "WHAT are puT college students studying that has any lasting value?"

This is the one day of the year that separates the men from the boys when it comes to the matter of dealing with the feminine gender. Women, generally the stern realists of the human race, seem to come apart at the seams at season.

They appear lost in a cloud of moonbeams. Their usual whims of iron become whims of molasses. They are alternately demanding and placating, wistful and petulant. "What gets into women around Valentine's Day anyway?" the ordinary man grumbles. "What do they want?" That part of the problem is simple.

A child may believe in Santa Glaus all year round, but it is the present it finds under the tree at Christmas that confirms its belief. women about love. TTirough most of the year a man. can talk them into be- lieWng he loves them dearly, but at Valentine they want something more in the way of proof than conversation. The age or of the you give them isn't so important.

Often a small sprig of old diamonds will plea.se them as much as a big heavy new mink coat. The main thing is that you remember them in a special way. The bachelor, of course, is in special peril at this time. He may find that the bo.x of candy he buys a girl at Valentine will wind up by June into a honeymoon he has to pay for on the installment plan. How can the cagy bachelor please his girl at Valentine and still not commit himself unalterably Here is a good sound tip: present her with an Irish sweepstakes ticket.

If her horse wins, she'll have enough dowry to set him up in business. If her horse loses, he can tell her, "So long, kid. It's been nice knowing you, but I gave you your chance, can't expect an ambitious guy like me to tie himself up for life to a hard luck dame like you." What about the married man? Well, oddly enough, Valentine 's day is no longer moreiy a sinsle girl's racket. Wi have mu ed into it on a wholesale sc A wife e.xpects something extra from her husband on this day dedicated to love, esen if she has to her forgetful mate into presenting her with a black eye. But such is the undei-standing nature of most wives, however, that it isn't really diffifcult to please them, bless their gentle souls.

Here arc ii feu' on how to surprise your wife on Valentine's Day and still remain her the i mushiest, most decked card can find, but remember not to use your business signature. If over called you by a pet name, sign this. Statistics show that more husbands than single men buy the sentimental throe-buck valentines. you a do-it-yourself fan? Carve up one of your kids' old yo-yos into a heart shajje and it with a card reading; "No other girl in the world could string me along but you, baby." you're a real cheapskate and want to save dough, buy a gooey dime card, and sign it with one of your wife's old high school lovers. When she proudly shows it to you, throw a real jealous fit.

That'll put her on the defensive. On the other hand, if she doesn't show it to you, you may have something to worry abouf a let more serious than valen- f.ne's But. above all, restrain any urge to be comic. I know of a husband who 10 years ago sent his wife a get-well card on St. Valentine's he's still paying alimony today.

Dr. Jordan The Doctor Says Hodekin's Disease Is Rare: Its Cause Is Still -Mystery By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. Written for NEA Service A READER recently wrote that her 27-year-old brother who had never been sick before has been diagnosed as having Hodgkin's disease and she would like a discussion of this disorder.

Hodgkin's disease is a strange, but fortunately mtjer uncommon disorder. It holds extraordinary interest to a person who acquires it and to his or her family and friends. The disease is more common in young people than in older ones and more frequent in men than in It has been reported from every part of the wnrid. It is not contagious and its cause is not known. THE FIRST SIGN is usually fbut not always) enlargement of the lymph glands in the neck.

The swollen glands are not painful. After a after months or in other parts of the body may become enlarged. It does not interfere with general well-being for a long time, but gradually anemia tends to develop. Low fever is often present and the patient slowly loses weight. The lymjA glands and the spleen which are affected in Hodgkin's disease are part of a chain or group of tissues called the reticuloendothelial system.

The fact that this system is attacked has raised the question of some infection being at fault. So far, however, no germ or virus has been proved as the cause. THE P.ATIENT with Hodgkin's disease usually goes through periods of remarkable improvement. The enlarged lymph glands may disappear almost completely and the general condition may improve for long periods of time. X-rays have been used in treatment for many years.

They often cause improvement lasting for months at a time. Treatment with di-ugs has not been particularly successful. THERE HAVE BEEN several favorable reports on the treatment of patients who have Hodgkin's disease with preparations called "niti-ogen mustards." TTiese substances seem to be quite helpful for some patients and are used extensively. Actually, there i.s a good deal of research on disease going on and new drugs are being tried so that eventually we can hope for further improvements in methods of treatment. and A an American woman marrying a foreigner claim dual citizenship? she accepts foreign citizenship, she cannot retain her American citizenship.

Roliert bought her an book. After he'd wrapped it, the way his package looked discouraged him. He sought to improve it by sticking on a red star.

But the one he cut out didn't help much. At his age of seven years, he didn't know that his star looked queer because lie'd given it tliree points instead of five. His father did know it. He saw at once thai Robert's problem was the wrong way to make a showing him the tight way to get what he wanted, helped him produce a fine star to paste on his mother's gift. This week, Robert's inexpert ence betrayed him into another clumsy solution to a problem.

He'd gone coasUng down a hill his parents had banned as too steep. When his father discovered his disobedience, Robert denied it. By his lie, he hoped to retain his father's approval juat as by his scissors he'd hoped to produce a beautiful star. BUT the father who'd been so quick to see the scissors' real purpose was blind to the real intention of Robert's lie. Though he'd shown his little boy the right way to cut out a star, he made Tio effort at all to show him the right way to retain approval after disobedience.

Instead of helpfulness, he gave Robert angry condemnation, saying, "Got upstairs. I don't want to see you. I'm a.shamed of you.

Jesus' story of the prodical son- is a dramatic portrayal of our generation.

We grow restless under the moral restraints which our fathers laid upon us, and broke away in what we called "the new morality." At first our unaccustomed liberties seemed strangely sweet, and we spoke with contempt of "the Victorian age," Now we are beginning to have serious doubts. Stable old virtues upon which our freedoms rest are crumbling and vague fears are taking hold upon us. Strange ideologies are appearing in our economic and social life; our homes are in jeopardy: our teen-agers are in the hands of the law; our scientists are terrified at the prospects of the titanic forces they have let loose among us; we have achieved freedom from restraint but our passion and appetites are enslaving us. It was a great moment ih the life of that youngster who left his father's house and, finding the outside world harsh, came to himself and told himself the truth. It is always the beginning of a great spiritual experience when a hard-pressed soul looks within, faces the facts, and admits his own fault.

Alcoholics Anonymous has used this principle in redeeming thousands of lost men from the drink haWt. "A man must admit that he is whipped," they say, "before we can do anything for him," In other words, he must admit to himself that he is in need before he can be helped, and no man can hope to find God until he is willing to admit to him.self that he is in need of God and is ready to go seeking after him.
