Close to $100,000 has been chucked into the building of this smart restaurant and bar. -V UNUSUAL DECOR Don Clever, the man with the projected-magination, tossed all Convention; down the drainpipe When he conceived the Hollow Leg in Hotel St Mark. Here we have something that will make our New York and Chicago friends admit that Oakland is no Sleepy Hollow.

Extreme as the decor is Hollow Leg has-a warmth and color that should place it in the top-money-running for the elusive cocktail klatch and steak set Starting next Saturday you can stop in for lunch, a cup of tea or coffee, a light or a full dinner Paul Norville to keep that watchful eye on the quality of everything emanating from a brilliantly appointed kitchen. Hollow Leg, in my opinion, is a grand addition to our local choice of restaurants. Harry Marks is gambling a hundred grand that I'm right. Eve Nelson will a year older tomorrow night And many of her Orinda Willows friends and customers are stopping by to share the big Willows birthday cake and to wish the charming lady happiness. Pepe Landeros is planning an anniversary solo for her on his violin.

All of a sudden the Chi Chi Club, downtown, has hit like a Chicago convention. Night after night the deluxie little rendezvous rocks and rolls to the jazz beat of Bobby Stoll and boys. A kind of jazz that rates ear-time with any syncopation lover. A veteran of the cute-sweet Jack Boss Nob Hitlers, you'd hardlyj expect this late vintage stuff from the Stoll clarinet The three lads he has in the unit are all masters in their own rights; all have done time in one or another of the Nation's hottest recording bands like Kenton and Barnett Owner Ralph Gold was on the verge of an ulcer, over business of course, when all of a sudden, the crowds began to drift in. He is eating katsup on his French fries again.

And on Tuesday nights an equally impressive mambo takes over: Manuel Durah and his Afro-Cubans. Such offbeats you've rarely heard. Chi Chi has it made long as these units keep their drive and ambitious enthusiasm. UPSIDE DOWN GIRL Next door at Mondre a gal that believes in a switch does her entire act upside down.

Summing Up For thousands of persons the one hopeful thing about I high blood pressure is that in most cases it is rof types I and 11 and hence mild and not very; dan gerous. In such cases the pa tient and especially the woman patient, has little to fear.

No strenuous treatment is needed or desirable. Unfortunately, as yet no special diet has been found to cure the disease. If a person is stout it often helps to reduce weight and to live always on a low calorie diet. I The salt-free diet and the rice diet will lower the pressure in some cases, but these diets are hard to carry out without expert help in a hospital; they are distressing to most patients; they can do harm, and they do not seem to have any long-lasting or life-saving effects. I The nerve cutting operation can help some persons, but it questionable how much added life it gives.

In most of the milder cases the best treatment is thought to be a better hygiene, with less strain, less blowing-up with temper, more peace. more rest and more sleep. The End.

ALVAREZ tb By There are some drugs like' the! nitrites -which will lower ithef blood; pressure, but their effects, are too transient to be of much use. Of late the drug most monly used has been potassium thiocyanate.

In some cases if will lower the pressure, but' the? cyanate radicle is poisonous, and hence it is unwise for a persort fluent" supervision. Even then the drug is dangerous, and re cently a doctor reported a series of deaths due to the giving small doses which everyone; had thought were safe. For this and, other reasons! many physicians, now refuse tq prescribe the drug. There are several proprietary medicines, that a person can try, but most experts have little faith in them and do not prescribe them. There are new drugs, like dibenamine and the which will greatly lower blood pressure but in doing so they usually make the person pretty uncomf fortable.

i Reaction of Drugs I The great trouble 1 with I any drug powerful enough to drop a high blood pressure to normal is almost certainly it swill modify other functions of th i bodv. and this may maker the patient ill or very uncomfort able; what is worse, it may eveo kill him. j- Most doctors today give hyper tensives a small amount of each day to quiet nervousness and reduce tension. It may help if it does not dull the person too much or make him sleepy. Some doctors do not line vj Keep giving euui seuij- tive every day and they do: nqt approve of it Much depends oi individual's reaction to the stuff.

Some ex perts in arterial disease feel that by watching the behavior of the blood pressure with the patient first at rest and then taking certain. -sedative or nerve-blocking drugs, they can get a good idea as to how he would respond to the operation.

Other physicians say that even with these tests they are. unable to guess who will get a good result and who will get none. Results of the more extensive nerve-cutting operations are sometimes unpleasant. For months, the man will have so low a pressure that he cannot stand up quickly without feelings of weakness or dizziness. But in some cases the results are good, and for a time the progress of the disease is stayed; headache clear up and the vision improves.

The patient should always be examined by an expert in arterial diseases before a decision is made to call in a surgeon. In expert hands the immediate mor tality of the operation is low, but still it is a formidable procedure. Again, the old question comes up, will even a decided drop in the pressure prolong life, and especially the working life? Some physicians doubt if the operation often does this, but others are more optimistical.

Alcohol and Tobacco Most experts on blood vessel disease do not object to their patients taking a drink or two before going to bed. Alcohol tends to quiet nervous tension, and this is desirable. Also, for an hour or two, the drug may some what lower the blood pressure, Tobacco: is different and most experts fear the harmful effects of smoking on the system and particularly on the arteries. Even in the cases of persons habituated to tobacco, a few min utes of smoking will cause sQ much spasm of small arteries that the hands will geftolder by several degrees, and the blood pressure may go up.

When a smoker with hyper tension is looking arounc! for some way in which to help him self and give himself a "better break," it would seem that one of the best things he can do is to give up the weed. Operative Treatment In recent years, to help certain types of hypertensive a number of surgeons have been removing parts of those chains of sympathetic nerves," which run on each side of the spine at the back of the thorax and ab domen, i- The hope is that with the cutting off of the nervous emotional influence which run to the big arteries in the abdomen, the blood pressure will fall. Actually, in suitable cases the pressure does fall to normal or nearly normal, and sometimes it stays down. Unfortunately, in other cases it, does not fall, or after falling it goes back up again. The experts at Mayo Clinic believe that this operation should be reserved for the younger persons with hypertension; usu ally type IIL Those with type I do not need it; most with type II do not need it, and most of those with type IV are not helped by it Surgeons Preference.
