Chronic disease is more of a prob lem of the so-called productive years than an old-age problem.

In other words, there is more chronic disease among the people we see in factories, mills, offices and elsewhere than, say, among the inmates ol an old man home, for whom we, the younger and the more sick, ex press such daily sympathy. Rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, neu ritis, lumbago and chronic rheuma tism, rates the most cases, approxi mately 7,000,000. These ailments cause nearly 100,000,000 days lost per year in work or usual activity Heart diseases rank first in the cause of deaths, second in the number of cases, third in the number of days lost. Cancer and various tumors rank second in the cause of deaths, sixth in the number of days lost, 13th in the number of cases. The facts indicate nervous and mental diseases come first in mag nitude.

They also claim the most invalids, although when it comes to death, they are well down the list of causes. The National Health Survey shows that a goodly number of cases of all forms of chronic disease were not reported, either because many persons did not know they were so afflicted or because they were re luctant to pass on the information The estimate has it' that had all institutionalized cases- of mental or nervous diseases been reported, the days of disability would total some where around 300,000,000 per year rather than the figure of 133,000,000 days lost for these reasons. "Are not these figures of facts horrifying indictment of the super- materialized civilization that we boast about to the world? Do they not show that the more intense and the less simple we make our living the more we break down our health? The building of the physical per fection for which we strive is to tally offset by the speed at which we are forced to travel to keep pace with the material civilization which we have established for ourselves We say to the world that we have the highest standard of living, but what profifeth it us if we destroy our national health in pursuit of this material standard? Mr. Roosevelt declares, among other things, that one of his many aims js to provide everybody with more leisure. If he is successful, then it would seem that we shall spend it in hospitals and sanitariums working for the greatest gift of Maker to mankind health.

True, also, appointment would make a propagandist's field day for the more unscrupulous anti-New Dealers. But. leaving on one side the fact that Frankfurter is a Brandeis man and not a radical at all.

it must be remembered that thus far the propagandists have failed to make a dent in him. According to the inquiring Dr. Gallup. Frankfurter was the American Bar's first choice for the place now held by Justice Black, and at that time he was also indorsed by such formers of conservative thought as Miss Dorothy Thompson. Furthermore, his disapproval of the method of the Court bill earned him conservative friends.

The fast is that, if Frankfurter's name were presented to the Senate, it would probably encounter no opposition, except from such die-hards as Warren R. Austin of Vermont and Edward Burke of Nebraska. This is no forecast. There are other possibilitiesJudge Harold M. Stephens of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, who will be backed by Atty.

Gen. Cummings; the Westerner. Senator Lewis B. Schwel-lenbach of Washington. Gov.

Frank Murphy of Michigan, the New York Senator. Robert F. Wagner, also Judge Samuel Rosenbaun, and Robert H. Jackson. But, at the moment, raniuurier nas tne edge.

The Massachusetts Public Utilities Commission has an ironical hearing scheduled for this morning on the petition of thousands of citizens and passengers. It was filed months ago.

The hearing is on the question whether the railroad stations on the New Haven system are to be abandoned. They were abandoned before the hearing could be held. In the meantime, a legislative commission, provided by last-minute legislation at last week's marathon session provides for an investigation by a commission made up of one Senator, three Representatives and three citizens. The commission is yet to be organized. DIRGE AS LAST TRAIN LEAVES PROVINCETOWN PROVINCETOWN, July 17 Members of the artists colony and night club set said farewell to the Old Colony Railroad's passenger service by playing a funeral dirge as the last train pulled out.

The Provincetown depot was draped in mourning garb. Last night a group decorated one side of the station with black crepe, arapea aDout a piacara which read: "We mourn the death of our railroad. May it not rest in peace." Two flags were flown at half mast. BLAZE DAMAGES SCHOOL, FIREMEN FIND DOOR OPEN BRAINTREE.

Goff of Hyannis, county health officer, said it was the first case of its kind on Cape Cod in 15 years. The child has been ill since June 18, shortly after the Gannon family arrived. Dr. Abraham Krakower of Monument Beach treated her. He called Dr.

Charles S. Lipsitt of St. Luke's Hospital, New Bedford. The child was removed to th New Bedford hospital June 29th, and later to Children's Hospital in Boston. Dr.

Lipsitt removed a wood tick embedded in the child's scalp. In Boston she was treated by Dr. Charles F. McKahnn of the Children's Hospital staff. The nature of the- ailment was established last week when a blood culture test was returned from the United States Public Health Service Laboratory at Washington.

Complete recovery is expected. The child's father said that whfn the family arrived at their Summer home there was a dead rabbit in the garage. BEDFORD HOSPITAL WINS HINES' PRAISE Veterans' Plant Inspected on 10th Anniversary Special Dispatch to tbe Globe BEDFORD, July 17 The anniversary of the establishment of tne $3,500,000 United States Vet-erans' Hospital was observed this afternoon on the hospital grounds.

Lieut Col. Earl Lancaster, who represented Gen. Needham. Along the roads leading into the camp this morning, spaced at 10 paces, were 600 men as a guard of honor without arms, wearing white gloves. They saluted as the Governor's cavalcade passed.

At the tRaffic circle in the center of the camp as the Governor and party arrived the entire group of guidons, red and blue pennants came to attention and remained as the grouped bands of nine regiments played "Hail to the Chief." 104th in Field Today Tomorrow the 104th regiment goes into the field but the others of the division will be working on regimental problems in the area of the parade ground. Tuesday preparations will be made for the division maneuver which will see more than 8000 men march out to a destination not yet announced for a night in the field as they might spend it in war. The division will probably go some five miles, possibly in the bhawme Forest. The army was called upon to res cue a sparrow this afternoon in the heat. The bird dropped down on a soft asphalt street, got feet caught ana could not take off.

After res cue operations the bird was taken to the hospital, had the clinging lar removed, received a bit of army chow and was released. The 101st Medical Regiment did the good Samaritan act. Military police were routed, out late last night to go to Onset and bring back to camp a couple of When we think of the funds even- tually necessary for social security When we hear that machines are causing more and more lost hours of work-When we hear about all the advantages our modern civilization has given us When we hear Mr. Roosevelt promising us more leisure in which to enjoy these advantages-It comes as a stunning shock to learn that chronic diseases, permanent disabilities, defects of vision or hearing affect at least 23.000,000 persons in the United States one out of every six. And.

if this dismaying fact were not enough, almost 1.000.000,000 days are lost from work per year because of these conditions. These are facts discovered by the National Health Survey, under the United States Public Health Service, to be dealt with in the National Health Conference this month in Washington. We have been i -suiting old age. Half the persons for whom chronic ailments were reported are less than 45 years old. Yet another startling fact revealed is that chronic disease appears at early ages.

It is true that the ratio of chronic invalids rises suddenly after the age of 50. but it appears that chronic disease, as differentiated from invalidism, is present in a shocking number of Americans of young age. -According to the survey, at the age of 20. about 80 persons cut of every 1000 of that age have a chronic disease; at age 40, more than 200; at 60. about -350; more than 500 of every 1000 at the age of 80.

These figures make one wonder what the next generation will be like, when so many of. its members will stem from the 23,000,000 now I ay we have insulted the old people. We have. The survey shows a lesser ratio of chronic disease among existing old age in America. Yet that generation knew nothing of the so-called material benefits for liing that are accepted necessities for us today.

That generation had to withstand the rigors of a harder physical life than we have ever had to experience. Almost one-half of the deaths from chronic disease occur before the age of 65. Forty-six per cent occur between the ages of 15-64. Yet this is the period of life in which virile and productive man-and womanhood is supposed to be at its best Where does business get off at this rate? There is no other word than shocking for the fact that 87 percent of living people with chronic Frankfurter (fontinued from the First Page Indeed, there would be an obvious appropriateness in the choice of Frankfurter. decades, he has fought the same battles as the New Deal is fighting today.

When the New Deal dawned, he acted as a sort of one-man Government employment agency, sending to Washington scores of the young liberals, whom he had inspired and guided. In spite of rumors that their relationship has been interrupted, he is the Presidents intimate friend, as he was the intimate of Taft and Vilson. Altogether, considering that he vas once an obscure immigrant boy nd is now, officially, only a professor at the Harvard Law School, Felix Frankfurter has made a remarkable place for himself in American life. If the President himself fs not Felix Frankfurter's best advocate. Frankfurter's name will be urged at the White House by many of the President's closest advisers.

Besides the arguments above, these friends will present certain more specific ones. For example, as the trusted friend of all but the most extreme conservatives on the high bench, he could cure the disagreeable situation centering around Justice Hugo I Black. He could bring unity to the Court's liberal wing, and. with his learning, lend an added weight to liberal constitutional interpretation. Being a Jew No Barrier Franfurter is a Jew.

Bishop Cassidy Present At the dedication of the field, the speakers' stand was set up on the roof of the stone administration building in the mile-square parade ground.

It had been threatened before, but something happened to prevent it. Legal moves, committees and organized opposition stopped it.

Even when Federal Juge Carroll C. Hincks ordered it lasi week, corhumiers refused to accept it as final when they read about it and looked to the Legislature for relief. Yesterday the full realization dawned upon them that "something had finally happened to train service; that it existed no more, and more were confounded when they arrived at railroad stations this morning to discover either that there were no more, trains to Boston; that bus services on different schedules were now supplanting it; mat there were no buses either, or that customary trains left long be fore or long after passengers arrived at stations. Part of this service had been in effect from 50 to 80 years and this morning it was no more. Over the week-end keys were turned in the iucHs iu siauuns ovsr xne enure New Haven system, 88 of the stations in Massachusetts.

Since its first announcement, thr. New Haven had organized bus services to augment its abbrevi ated train schedules; but independent bus operators had held off, first because they were uncertain that the cut in schedules would actually go into effect, and second because there was not sufficient time for them to secure the necessary authorization from the Public Utilities Commission. Full Effect Known Today Today, it is expected, the Public Utilities Commission will be swamped with applications from bus operators who now see lucrative fields for themselves, deserted by the railroads. The full effect of the short schedule will not be known until this noon when the cries of indignation of passengers incon venienced will reach its peak. An infrequent bus service must temporarily satisfy the Cape until me amount or.

service required is estimated. The last run on the provincetown to Yarmouth line Saturday night carried 80 passengers. From Yarmouth to Provincetown there appeared to be no nrovismn for transportation service 'early this By Ed Reed The boss may be in very late this morning, but not because he slept late after an active and arduous week-end; or the help may be in late, and each will have a good excuse. The alibi will be the new train schedule and the amputated New Haven service; and last night's survey indicated that this alibi will have a lotof merit. It will take a day or two for com-muters to find out where they are at; to 'discover just what trains have been lopped from the schedule and what stations have been closed, and some of them will become leg-weary in the process.

Whether train service is gone from these communities forever; whether it will be restored by appeals to higher courts and legal moves; or whether it will be restored in part is vague and indefinite. Public Utilities Commissioner Richard Grant announced late yesterday that the commission received no official word tof the closing of stations and the termination of service. All the commissioners knew about it, he said, they read in the newspapers. He held out some hope for the bereaved commuters, however, and said that the probable course the commission would follow would be td order the New Haven to restore "some of the stations," and, in the event the road failed to obey the order, place the matter before the Attorney General for prosecution in the Supreme Court. Buses for Stage Coaches Forty-four miles of Cape Cod, from Yarmouth to Provincetown, went back to the Pony Express era this morning with buses for stage coaches.

Henceforth, if the ruling or a Jrederal judge in New Haven, stands, the whistle of a train will never be heard except in movies or on the radio, when its echo will bring back nostalgic memories. Eighty-eight Massachusetts railroad stations became empty, tenant-less, haunted hous-ss over the weekend, and the ghost of Casey Jones hovers over hundreds of miles of tracks where weeds must grow. For the first time -since it was founded, the town of Dover. between Needham and Medfield, is without rail transportation and it was expected that an emergency bus service would be put into operation thi morning to carry passengers to Needham Junction station for transportation to Boston. Yesterday, on Cape Cod and in the communities of the state bereft of train service, persons who work in Boston and nearby cities were telephoning about to friends, organizing transportation parties and groups, arranging to split and pro-rate the cost of gasoline and up-keep to get to town.

The Cape was the hardest hit section. Passenger and freight business was forced upon buses and trucks, and as far as transportation is concerned the upper Cape became a place where "You have to own an automobile to live there."
